Wrestling Observer Live with Bryan Alvarez and Mike Sempervive returns today with tons of news including a TNA star potentially facing the real deal in an MMA fight, and no, we’re not talking Kurt Angle but we will discuss his signing with Bellator, Raw ratings, Young Bucks to ROH and more! A fun show as always so check it out~!
On Tuesday, former TNA world champion Kurt Angle announced that he would be facing Eric Young on Sunday’s Bound for Glory PPV show in Concord, NC.
Bound for Glory is TNA’s second PPV show of the year with much of the direct hype for the show scheduled on tomorrow night’s Impact show.
The main event will be Ethan Carter III defending his TNA title against Drew Galloway.
Angle will be returning after an operation to remove a tumor in his neck. He has already said that he will not be renewing his TNA contract when it expires in January so, in theory, this will be his last PPV match with the company that he joined in 2006.
The full Bound for Glory card features:
– Tigre Uno vs. Rockstar Spud vs. DJ Z vs. TJP for the TNA X-Division Title in an Ultimate X Match
– The Wolves vs. Brian Meyers & Trevor Lee in a TNA vs. Global Force Wrestling match for the TNA World Tag Team Titles
– Gail Kim vs. Awesome Kong for the TNA Knockouts Title
– Abyss vs. Aiden O’Shea vs. Chris Melendez vs. Eli Drake vs. Jesse Godderz vs. Mahabali Shera vs. Mr. Anderson vs. Robbie E vs. Tyrus in a Gauntlet match with the winner getting a future shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Title
– Bobby Roode vs. Lashley for the TNA King of the Mountain Title in a King of the Mountain Match.
After Kurt Angle announced earlier this week that he would not sign a new TNA contract after his deal ran out at the end of the year, TNA announced Thursday that Angle would be wrestling on a TNA house show on 10/3 in Salem, VA, as well as Bound for Glory on 10/4 in Concord, NC.
Former WWE and TNA Champion Kurt Angle was on Mark Madden’s Pittsburgh radio show Tuesday night, and said that he would not be signing a new deal with TNA Wrestling.
His contract expires at the end of 2015, and said he would be taking a break from pro wrestling at that point. He noted that he will be at Bound for Glory on 10/4.
Angle confirmed this story was accurate.
