TNA Bound for Glory actual attendance & live gate revealed

Some new information has been revealed regarding last month’s TNA Bound for Glory attendance and live gate.

On the night of the show, TNA had claimed a North American record of 7794 for the October 12 pay-per-view from the Tsongas Arena in Lowell, Massachussetts, with new data from Wrestlenomics Monday painting a slightly different picture.

Venue operator Oak View Group provided a sold ticket number of 5554, a turnstile count of 6137, and verified it as a record attendance for a sporting event. Comps were not included in the breakout.

Listed capacity for the arena is 7484 which includes 243 premium seats which is still less than the announced attendance.

TNA spokeperson Ross Forman’s explanation for the number is as follows:

“Beyond our ticketed attendees, we also had many seats and standing room only occupied by TNA credentialed guests, media, staff, VIPs, and other groups that brought the total attendance to 7,794,” he said, later noting the 225 arena workers were not counted in their tally.

Wrestlenomics reported the live gate was $390,348 with $122,156 generated from food and beverage which the venue said was among the highest in their history. It cost $45,000 for TNA to use the facility.

The Dudleys hand their wrestling boots to The Hardys at TNA Bound for Glory

It was the last time for the Hardy Boyz and The Dudleys on Sunday.

In the co-main event of TNA Bound for Glory, The Hardys and The Dudleys met in what was billed as a One Final Table match. Brother Runt, aka Spike Dudley, accompanied the Dudleyz to the ring as they were identified by both their WWE and TNA names, wearing their WWE gear and glasses.

The first to be eliminated was Jeff Hardy after the Dudleys put Jeff through a table with a 3D. Jeff retaliated by putting D-Von through a table after hitting a swanton bomb off a ladder. This left the Hardys to go after Bubba Ray, who attempted to remain in the match but the Hardys whittled him down with chair shots. Bubba struggled to get to his feet and ultimately gave up, allowing himself to be put through a table by both Hardys to give them the win.

After the match, the Hardys were given their NXT and TNA Tag Team titles by TNA President Carlos Silva as the Dudleyz recovered. Both teams hugged as the Hardys started to leave. However, the Dudleyz stopped them and started to take off their boots, giving them to the Hardys as a sign of their retirement. Both teams embraced as The Dudleys made their exit, allowing The Hardys to celebrate back in the ring.

The two teams are best known for their rivalry dating back to 2000 when they, alongside Edge & Christian, battled in the first TLC matches in WWE history.

Sunday Update

— Both of our weekend shows are up on the site. Our Friday show was the third and final Hall of Fame installment with John Muse, Ethan Tyler and Phil Lions talking about the non-wrestler category and other thoughts, plus we covered the rest of the news for the week. Last night’s show covered Crown Jewel, Survivor Series plans, Arena Mexico, AEW and TNA show news and more.

— WBD rejected a $20 per share takeover offer by Paramount Skydance. The sides are continuing to negotiate. The ramifications of this are far bigger than the pro wrestling world, but whatever the WBD ownership ends up being could have an effect on pro wrestling in many different ways.

— The estimates for the weekend are that Smashing Machine will finish No. 8 for the week with $1.77 million. A normal second week drop from the first is 50 percent. This was a 69 percent drop from an already disappointing first week. Conversely, Iron Claw dropped only six percent in the second week. So those were polar opposites. I wrote a story on the movie in the current issue looking back at  that era and the career of Mark Kerr. Overall I thought it was a good movie but at the end of the day, it did not have commercial appeal.

— Kota Ibushi had surgery for the broken femur suffered on  Wednesday night when he fell badly off the top rope in his match with Josh Alexander that aired last night. It was weird doing that impromptu post-match angle with Mark Davis. Ibushi today talked about being out 18 months, thanking Tony Khan for sending him flowers and a note and said that he was considering retirement at first but does want to come back. This is a nasty fluke injury for a guy who took years to come back from the shoulder injury suffered at a time when he was one of the best in-ring performers in history.

— TNA’s Bound for Glory takes place in Lowell, MA tonight at the Paul Tsongas Center.  hey were at 6,275 tickets out earlier today so this will be one of the biggest crowds in the 23 year history of the company: 

  • Call Your Shot Gauntlet Battle Royal
  • Tessa Blanchard vs. Gia Miler
  • Frankie Kazarian vs. Steve Maclin for the International title
  • Moose & Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards & JDC & Alisha Edwards vs. Mustafa Ali & Special Agent 0 & Jason Hotch & John Skyler & Tasha Steelz in a hardcore war match
  • The Iinspiration vs. Heather by Elegance & Ash by Elegance for the Knockouts tag titles
  • Leon Slater vs. Je’Von Evans for the X title
  • The Hardys vs. Team 3-D in a tables match for the NXT & TNA tag titles
  • Keliani Jordan vs. Indi Hartwell for the Knockouts title
  • Trick Williams vs. Mike Santana for the TNA title.  They have to switch the title here, right?

BDE, a YouTuber (Brandon Collymore) will be in the Gauntlet match.

— New Japan King of Pro Wrestling starts at 3 a.m. Eastern time tonight or midnight Pacific from Sumo Hall in Tokyo. It has a hell of a lineup:

  • Sareee vs. Syuri for the IWGP women’s title
  • Shingo Takagi & Hiromu Takahashi & Titan vs. David Finlay & Taiji Ishimori & Clark Connors
  • Sanada vs. Drilla Moloney no DQ no count outs
  • Hirooki Goto (first match back since filming Street Fighter 2) & Yoshi-Hashi & Yoh vs. Ryohei Oiwa & Hartley Jackson  & Kosei Fujita
  • El Phantasmo vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi for NJPW TV title
  • Oleg Botin vs. Evil for Never title
  • Yuto-Ice & Oskar vs. Yuya Umeura & Shota Umino for IWGP tag team titles
  • Gabe Kidd vs. Yota Tsuji for Global title
  • Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Konosuke Takeshita for the IWGP world title

— We are doing weekend polls for WWE Crown Jewel, TNA Bound for Glory and New Japan King of Pro Wrestling this weekend. You can leave a thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs in the middle along with a best and worst match to [email protected]

— We’re looking for reports from the NXT shows in Detroit and Cleveland this weekend with results, finishes and highlights to [email protected]

— For Google searches this weekend, Crown Jewel has 115,000 searches which is a little more than half of a normal show. However, the UFC show yesterday from  Rio de Janeiro had virtually nothing, much lower than usual. The death of Diane Keaton was more than 10 million which speaks volumes for how well known and remembered she was. A funny one is that Logan Paul had 10,000 weekend searches due to a bogus rumor that he was killed in a helicopter crash.

— Lots of rumors that Alexandre Pantoja will defend the flyweight title against Joshua Van on the last UFC PPV for at least seven years, if not ever, on 12/13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

— The main story coming out of yesterday’s win by Charles Oliveira as he broke his own records for most finishes (21) and most submissions (17) in a career with a win over Mateusz Gamrot in the main event.  He immediately set his sights on Max Holloway next.

— In a cool touch, Jose Aldo came to the ring and left his gloves in the cage.  He didn’t fight on the show but UFC allowed the Hall of Fame fighter to retire in Rio de Janeiro.

— The Philadelphia Inquirer had a story on Scott “Raven” Levy with the documentary “Nevermore” on his career having a screening in the city. (thanks to Chuck Langerman and Bill King)

— Laura Sanko will be announcing the UFC 321 PPV show from Abu Dhabi on 10/25. This will only be the third time a woman has broadcasted a UFC PPV. Sanko did it at UFC 293 and Kathy Long did it at UFC 1.

— Go Shiozaki resurfaced in All Japan yesterday as the mystery partner of Shotaro Ashino in a match with Kento Miyahara & Hideki Suzuki in Gyoda.  Miyahara was disqualified quickly and this set up a 10/22 Triple Crown title match at Korakuen Hall which should sell out.

— Former NXT wrestler Yoshiki Inamura returned to NOAH and will challenge KENTA for the GHC title on 11/8 at Korakuen Hall.

— House of Glory Wrestling from Friday night in New York: Zilla Fatu b Bear Bronson to keep the Crown Jewel title, Indi Hartell b Zayda Steel to keep the women’s title, Raheem Royal b Idris Jackson, Killer Kross b Matt Cardona, Leon Slater b Amazing Red to keep the TNA X Division title, Hardys b Mane Event in a TNA vs. HOG title match so the Hardys now have three sets of belts, Charles Mason b Man Like DeReiss to keep the HOG title. The next show i s 11/15 in Long Island, NY. (thanks to Samuel Rosenthal)

Controversial end to Call Your Shot Gauntlet match at TNA Bound For Glory

Two winners emerged from the Call Your Shot gauntlet match at Bound for Glory.

The final two participants in the match were Frankie Kazarian and Nic Nemeth. A referee bump caused a second referee to come in and make a two count. As the original referee recovered, a double pin took place with both men’s shoulders on the mat. Both referees counted three as controversy ensued. After both referees talked to Santino Marella, he announced for the first time ever both Kazarian and Nemeth would be co-winners. The two were given the trophy as they argued to the back. As a result, both men will receive a future championship match of their choosing.

Kazarian originally wasn’t part of the match but took out Jody Threat as she made her way to the ring. After arguing with Santino, he put himself in the match but was taken out by the next entrant, Santino, with the cobra. However Kazarian wasn’t eliminated and returned after Matt Cardona was eliminated, leaving he and Nemeth as the final two participants of the match.

Later backstage, the two winners confronted one another, with Nemeth calling out Kazarian for never winning the TNA World title. Kazarian teased he may become champion later tonight.

The full list of participants included Lei Ying Lee, Mara Sade, Ryan Nemeth, Nic Nemeth, Cedric Alexander, Rich Swann, AJ Francis, streamer BDE, Myron Reed, Zachary Wentz, Trey Miguel, Dani Luna, Eric Young, Jake Something, Rosemary, Home Town Man, Zack Clayton (with Little Guido), Frankie Kazarian, Santino Marella, Matt Cardona, and Mance Warner.

TNA Bound For Glory 2025 Tickets: Has the show sold out?

Wrestling fans are eagerly eyeing TNA Bound For Glory 2025, set for Sunday, 12 October 2025 at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts. With the countdown to the show well underway, one burning question remains: Has the event sold out?

TNA Bound For Glory 2025 Ticket Update

According to recent data shared by WrestleTix on Patreon:

  • Available tickets remaining: 439
  • Current setup capacity: 6,488
  • Tickets distributed so far: 6,049

That leaves just 439 tickets still on the map. Additionally, the total number of seats on the map is 7,418. In this morning’s update, WrestleTix noted a surge of +1,280 tickets sold since the last update (five days prior). It also highlighted that Floor Section F has been fully opened, with additional rows added in VIP sections (103 & 104), and that further expansion might occur in Sections 109‑115

Has TNA Bound for Glory 2025 sold out?

No, not yet as of writing. With 439 tickets left (per the latest from WrestleTix), the event is not officially sold out, but it’s very close. At this rate, any remaining tickets are likely to vanish quickly, especially with high-demand matches such as The Hardys vs. Team 3D (one final Tables match) drawing additional interest and potential walk ups on the night.

Bully Ray makes big Hardys claim ahead of Tables match at TNA Bound for Glory

Bully Ray, D-Von and The Hardys all recently appeared on the Talk is Jericho podcast to promote their upcoming tables match at TNA Bound for Glory. The four men discussed their enduring history in the business, including their matches in the early 2000s in the-then WWF.

During the interview, Bully Ray would make a big claim about Matt and Jeff Hardy, explaining how them making a return to TNA put the company in the position they are now. TNA is selling well in multiple markets, and with their ongoing relationship with NXT they have another calling card to help get those butts in the seats.

Bully Ray on Matt and Jeff Hardy

“When Matt and Jeff came back there [TNA] they gave credibility back to the company. I think it was the autograph sessions” Bully would begin.” “Fans seeing that Matt and Jeff were willing to stick around until two or three in the morning, and meet with every fan and talk to every fan and sign every autograph and take every picture.”

“That personal crowd interaction, that word of mouth traveled like wildfire, and that’s why people wanted to go to the shows. They wanted to see Matt and Jeff wrestle. They wanted to go to the post-show autograph sessions. They wanted to be a part of those special moments” the former WWE Superstar added.

Bully would then make a big claim about his Bound for Glory opponents after, saying “if Matt and Jeff do not go back to TNA, TNA is not in the position that they are right now. That is not an opinion. That is a fact. You go back and you watch TNA television, you look at the house shows., you look at the numbers. [These two] are the guys responsible for putting the asses in the seats.”

TNA Bound for Glory 2025 takes place tomorrow night and is available as part of TNA+ and on PPV via TrillerTV.

TNA has announced that The Hardys vs. Dudleys at Bound for Glory this Sunday will now be for both the TNA and NXT Tag Team title belts. The bout — which is a tables match — is being promoted as the last time the Attitude Era rivals will ever face each other.

Carlos Silva: TNA has ‘a lot of goals to accomplish’

Carlos Silva outlines his goals for TNA.

In an interview with Justin Barrasso ahead of Sunday’s Bound for Glory, the president of TNA explained the company’s role in pro wrestling, not only cultivating young talent but also providing space for wrestlers who made their names in TNA and elsewhere.

“We have a lot of goals. We can develop young stars,” he said. “Joe Hendry is a great example. I know he wrestled elsewhere, but TNA provided a platform for him to reach new levels–then you saw him at WrestleMania. TNA is a place for young stars like Leon Slater. It’s a place for legends like The Hardys and stars like Eric Young, Nic Nemeth, Matt Cardona, and Frankie Kazarian–and I could go on and on.”

Silva took over for Scott D’Amore, who departed the company in 2024. Silva complimented the team that has taken over since.

“TNA has been around 23 years, so I’m building off a really good foundation,” he said. “We have some great minds in the company like Eric Tompkins, Tommy Dreamer, and Ross Forman. We brought in sports executives for production and marketing, too. We’re bringing best practices from sports and applying them to our live events. It’s a team that is pulling all together, and that makes a big difference. It’s been a great nine months, but we’re not going to slow down.”

Bound for Glory is set for this weekend at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachussetts. Top matches include Trick Williams defending the TNA Championship against Mike Santana and The Hardys taking on Team 3D in a tables match for the TNA Tag Team titles.

New TNA Bound for Glory match announced

Miller cut a promo on Blanchard during Thursday’s Impact in response to Blanchard attacking her at Victory Road. Primarily a backstage interviewer, Miller promised to beat Blanchard within an inch of her life at Bound for Glory.

Blanchard cut her own promo on Miller on Impact detailing the backstory to their match and how Blanchard originally broke Miller in to wrestling training.

NXT wrestler to challenge for X Division title at TNA Bound for Glory

A new match for the X Division title is set for Bound for Glory.

After Leon Slater retained the title at Victory Road by defeating Myron Reed, TNA’s Director of Authority Santino Marella came out and congratulated Slater on the win, saying that’s what TNA is all about. He then said he had a major announcement, as he’s been talking to NXT’s General Manager Ava and revealed Slater’s opponent for Bound for Glory: Je’Von Evans, who appeared via video. He said he’s never had a chance to compete in a TNA ring until now and Bound for Glory is about to become real bouncy.

Slater defeated Reed in a hard-fought yet wild match featuring plenty of high risk offense, including a cutter to the floor by Reed and a brutal slumdog millionaire by Reed, also on the outside. Slater eventually got the win with the swanton 450 splash.

The weekend so far has been a busy one for Evans. In addition to his TNA cameo, he made a surprise appearance on Friday’s SmackDown, unsuccessfully challenging for Sami Zayn’s United States title. After the match, he was taken out by his opponent for Saturday’s NXT No Mercy PLE, Josh Briggs.
