The Year of Duke and Rogue: TNA Bound for Glory 2005

Plugged for months as TNA’s Super Bowl, World Series, Final Four, and Stanley Cup all rolled into one, the first Bound for Glory does deliver some good action and is a candidate for show of the year, although the competition isn’t very stiff (…ughh yeahh).

The Year of Duke and Rogue: TNA Lockdown 2005

In a first event of its kind, every match on this card is contested inside the six sides of steel cage. At least that’s what was advertised.

Instead, we have a tag team match inside of a cage where you have to make tags, a tables match inside of a cage that looks goofy as hell, a strap match…
