 TNA's biggest event of the year, Bound For Glory, suffered from a profound and detrimental influence from WWE and NXT-style booking, resulting in a confusing, over-booked, and ultimately frustrating night of action. The pay-per-view, which should have been TNA's chance to shine, instead felt marred by questionable decisions, unnecessary complexity, and a lack of faith in its own roster and storytelling.
Over-Exposed NXT Talent and Convoluted Finishes: The recurring presence of NXT talent—including TNA World Champion Trick Williams and Knockouts Champion Kelani Jordan—was a double-edged sword that mostly cut TNA.
The TNA World Championship main event saw Mike Santana finally defeat Trick Williams, delivering a feel-good moment. However, the victory was immediately undermined by a convoluted post-match angle involving Call Your Shot co-winner Nic Nemeth attempting to cash in, only to be stopped by the return of Elijah (with a guitar!) and a run-in from the other co-winner, Frankie Kazarian. This messy sequence, reminiscent of overly-busy, chaotic WWE booking, diluted the impact of Santana's hard-earned win.
The TNA X-Division Championship match between champion Leon Slater and NXT's Je'Von Evans was a stellar, high-paced contest until a disastrous finish. A 20-minute time-limit draw—a dated and anti-climactic WWE trope—was immediately followed by a five-minute sudden death, which then ended in a No Contest due to a run-in by the mysterious DarkState. The match's quality was sacrificed for a multi-layered, unsatisfying angle.
The TNA Knockouts World Championship match saw Kelani Jordan retain against Indi Hartwell in a competent but ultimately forgettable bout, serving mainly as a showcase for more borrowed talent rather than TNA's unique women's division.
Poorly Booked Marathons and Anti-Climaxes: Segments that should have been highlights were instead hobbled by poor execution and unnecessary twists.
The 20-Person Intergender Call Your Shot Gauntlet was an overlong mess that devolved into another puzzling, messy finish. After mass eliminations, the match ended with a dual pinfall, resulting in Frankie Kazarian and Nic Nemeth being declared co-winners. The confusing "two winners" scenario—followed by a brawl over the trophy—epitomized the over-booked, indecisive style that plagued the show.
Tessa Blanchard's match against announcer Gia Miller was dominated by heel antics and outside interference, culminating in a cheap, "shades of her father" finish with a handful of quarters. While delivering a predictable result, the execution felt tedious and over-reliant on the classic "dominant heel" formula.
The nostalgia-driven "One Final Table" match saw The Hardys retain the TNA/NXT Tag Team titles against Team 3D. While the match served its purpose as an emotional farewell to Team 3D, the inclusion of a table that refused to break for a key spot, and the overall focus on a non-TNA act for one of the main attractions, felt like a missed opportunity to build newer stars.
Bound For Glory ultimately felt like a company struggling to differentiate itself, caving to the influence of its broadcast partners and sacrificing clean finishes and definitive storytelling for the sake of forced complexity and shock value. The results left fans with a lingering sense of "bulls–t"—a direct and telling reflection of the night's flawed booking decisions.
