It's time for TNA Wrestling's premiere pay-per-view event of the year, Bound for Glory, and Killa Kev is here to cover it from start to finish! Join us in the LIVE AngryMarks.com/chat room for ongoing discussion during the show with AngryMarks staff and fans!

BREAKING NEWS: Wrestling Observer Live just reported that "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero will not be on tonight's X Division match due to a last-minute emergency. More information as we can get it! Also - hit F5 for the latest updates.

Welcome to Bound for Glory 2009, folks! Tonight's show starts with Zak Wylde of the band Black Label Society performing the American national anthem in a solo performance on his electric guitar.

X Division Championship - Ultimate X Match: champion Amazing Red (w/ Don West) vs. Chris Sabin vs. Alex Shelley vs. Suicide vs. Homicide vs. Christopher Daniels

Both Sabin & Shelley earned a spot in this match due to a pre-show win over somebody, somehow I missed that. Yes, you did read correctly, Amazing Red is now managed by Don West, who cut a damn good promo on behalf of the champion this past Thursday on Impact. As usual, this starts out with a clusterfuck all over the place, Amazing Red looks pretty dominant until Homicide attacks him from behind, but Red whips him through the ropes and Homicide uses it to cannonball over Daniels. Suicide tries his shot at Red, but is also dispatched over the ropes into Homicide. Shelley & Sabin decide that they're also going to focus on the outside action as well, until Red dropkicks Shelley to the floor. Daniels finally gets in the ring and wants to fight for this, tries to take a climb to the top, but Red cuts him off, climbs up the ropes and pulls off a hurracanrana onto the pile of bodies on the floor.

Chants of "T-N-A! T-N-A!" from the fans. For what it is worth, Christopher Daniels has won 4 out of 5 Ultimate X matches he's been in. Back to the action, Red tries to climb up for his title, the MMG's get in, Sabin picks up Red by his legs into a giant spin and Shelley bounces off the ropes to dropkick him in the head. Daniels gets in and takes out both Shelley & Sabin. Homicide tries to climb up the spanners while Daniels is focusing on wrestling action. Homicide makes it up the cables, is climbing across. Daniels and Suicide suddenly make a play, Suicide is able to leap off the top turnbuckle to grab the cable, Homicide takes him out with the Gringo Cutter from the cables!

The Guns and Daniels all gang up on Homicide after he comes down, Shelley uses Daniels in the Mushroom Stomp to kill Homicide. Daniels recovers and counters their double-team action, tries to climb up, Sabin cuts him off again and sets him up in the Electric Chair as Shelley dropkicks him from the top turnbuckle. Red tries to  go for his belt again, the MMGs cut him off at the corner and looks like they're going to try for the Electric Chair as well. Red takes down Sabin with a hurracanrana, hangs up Shelley in the Tree of Woe, Sabin charges for a dropkick and Red moves out of the way, kicking his own partner. Suddenly Suicide and Homicide are back into this match, taking out the MMGs and Red, and then focusing on each other. Homicide with a SWEET Pump Handle Suplex on Suicide, a Hangman's Neckbreaker on Red, and he's going for the belt again. Homicide reaches the ropes, but Daniels gets on the turnbuckles, pulls Homicide down and nails him with a Death Valley Driver.

Red comes over to get some action and takes out Daniels with another 'rana. Red reaches the cables overhead and starts to inch his way over, but then comes back to the scaffolding. Suicide comes over and Red breaks off to attack him, Daniels runs over and tries to pull Red down, gets kicked off. Amazing Red makes a second attempt across, Suicide slingshots himself off the top rope to hit a dropkick on Red, sending him to the ground. Daniels with a body slam on Suicide and then goes up, the MMGs are both trying as well. Sabin makes it across the cables and he engages Daniels in a series of kicks until they both fall out, then brawl in the corner, Sabin snaps off a springboard DDT off the corner on Daniels. Suicide right back in with a side slam, Shelley takes him out him with Sliced Bread #2, Homicide comes in and nails a front-face suplex and a STIFF clothesline.

Homicide tries for a Gringo Killer on Daniels, Daniels counters into a DDT, then Amazing Red flying off the turnbuckle for a DDT of his own on Daniels. Red going back up again, Suicide in hot pursuit, punches him in the ribs, climbs up higher, Red straddles him, Shelly climbs up, but then Red flips over them all and pulls the whole chain down into a super sit-out powerbomb! And Suicide at the end of the chain takes out Daniels with a dropkick. Sabin tries to climb up, Homicide cuts him off, Amazing Red with a spin kick on Homicide, climbs on the turnbuckle hits a corkscrew moonsault and then a standing shooting star press. Suicide battles Sabin on the corner, up to the top turnbuckle, nasty looking belly-to-belly suplex, Daniels follows it up with the BME as well. Suicide and Daniels climb the scaffolding at the same time, Amazing Red pursuing Daniels. Suicide is at the top of the structure, Daniels is at the top, Red battles Daniels, Daniels clubs his head into the steel a few times. Daniels comes over to Suicide, meet at the crosswords, Suicide falls backwards, Daniels catches him in a front face lock, tries for a suplex, Suicide counters and tries for his own, gets blocked.

Daniels & Suicide punching it out blow-for-blow, Suicide falls over the side, Daniels slips down and stands on the cables, Suicide stomping him from the top, Suicide stomps on his hands, then comes down on the cables himself, steps on the belt to prevent Daniels from unbuckling it. Daniels punching away to break it, both men fall off and crash to the mat! Daniels falls flat on his back, referee Rudy Charles calling for medics. Red climbs down to try to get the title, but Alex Shelley has come over the cables to try to stop him, but no go!

WINNER and STILL CHAMPION, AMAZING RED!  Don West runs in and celebrates with Red as he holds up the title. Other than Taz fuckign up everybody's names, this was an incredible opening match! Lauren is in the back with the Beautiful People, who resort to their usual mockery of Lauren. Velvet Sky cuts a promo on Taylor Wilde. This promo is taking WAY too long, GET TO THE POINT. I guess there was a reason why Angelina Love did almost all their promo work.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Borash is in the locker room with TNA Knockout Tag champs Sarita & Taylor Wilde. Wilde says that they're ready for any team, any time, no excuses. Sarita follows it up with a promo in Spanish. Borash looks at Wilde and says, "What did she say?" Wilde shrugs her shoulders and says, "I dunno, but she MEANT it!"  ROFL.

TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship: champions Sarita & Taylor Wilde vs. The Beautiful People (Velvet Sky & Madison Rayne, w/ Lacey Von Erich)

Lacey Von Erich gets in the ring before the match and whispers something to referee Jamie Tucker, then plants a big kiss on her. The ref then gets out of the ring and places a seat for her ringside. Senior official Earl Hebner then gets in and throws Tucker out of the match. Von Erich tries to pull the same move on him, but Hebner pulls her over and slaps on a big ol' kiss... THEN THROWS HER ASS TO THE BACK!

Bell rings and Sky tries to attack Wilde from behind, but the babyfaces quickly turn it around with some sharp double-team maneuvers. Rayne tags in and evens this up with a nice dropkick to the face on Sarita, cover and a two count. Rayne tags in Sky, but Sarita fights them both off quickly with open-hand chops, tries for a headscissor on Sky and gets caught in a double-team front-face slam, Sky with a cover and a two count. Sky chops Sarita in the chest, whips her in the corner, Sarita shoves her down and tries for something, looks like they botched a move I'm not sure what happened.

Hot tags on both sides, Wilde takes down Rayne with a pair of clotheslines and a dropkick, cover and a two count as Sky breaks it up, but Sarita is perched on the turnbuckles and takes her out with a missile dropkick. Sky with a front face kick on Wilde, tries for a second one but Wilde ducks it, reverse waistlock, Sarita off the middle rope with a dropkick and Wilde completes with the belly-to-back suplex, cover, 1-2-3.

Young says Hernandez is a black stain on TNA and they're going to rub him out. Nash says that this is a win for him because he's getting Young's $60,000 payoff and a promise to keep his title, and Young in return won't have to worry about Hernandez killing him.

Weird ending.  We immediately go back to Jeremy Borash somewhere in the back with Mick Foley, holding a barbed wire baseball bat. Foley says that Abyss will learn the hard way that he can't be a Mick Foley knock-off.

UPDATE FROM THE ANGRYMARKS CHAT ROOM: Big D is reporting that Tara was attacked by Kim Couture (ex-wife of MMA fighter "the Natural" Randy Couture) off-camera at ringside, and that security came over to break it up. This may be legit or it may be a set-up, Big D isn't sure.  We'll report more as we get it!

And Abyss tries to slam Foley into the tacks, Dr. Stevie reminds him of the rules.

WINNER and STILL CHAMPION, AJ STYLES!  A bizarre ending that didn't have much build-up, the fans weren't ready for it, they were just calming down. Styles raises his hands as he's given the belt, Sting quietly steps out of the ring, but then steps back in and they shake hands before Sting steps out of the ring. The camera follows Sting up the ramp, AJ Styles takes the mic. "STINGER! Get back in the ring!" Sting turns around and looks on, arms on his hips. "You better tell these fans..." apparently the PA system is failing. "Sting, these fans are YOUR fans, for 23 years, in the state of California! This ring is YOUR ring, your spotlight!"  Sting comes back down to the ring, AJ Styles tells him off-mic, "This is your time! Get in there! It's your time now!" Fans are chanting "Please don't go! Please don't go!"

Sting steps into the ring and takes a mic, fans pop for him while Style walks up the ramp, clapping for Sting. Fans start a loud "STING! STING! STING!" chant.  Sting says, "Thank you... thank you.... I really didn't expect to be back here right now because this moment is not about me, it is about our new world champion! But, if I'm gonna lose... I'm glad I can lose to somebody like AJ Styles. And if I can lose, I'm real glad to lose at home!" Fans start a "YOU STILL GOT IT! *clap-clap clap-clap-clap* chant.  Sting holds up his hand to quiet them. "I suppose since I have this platform right now I should cover what a lot of people have been asking me the last few months. But I gotta tell ya..." Fans interrupt with a "ONE MORE YEAR!" chant. Sting continues, "I'm not pulling a Brett Farve on you, I promise, but I was not prepared to make some kind of announcement tonight. All I can say is that this isn't a big kayfabe teaser kind of an answer. I don't know if I'm going to come back. But I tell you this, yesterday at Fanfare some of the things that you people said to me make me want to stay forever!"

Sting puts down the mic as his music plays, the fans go wild, Sting steps out of the ring and that's it for the night! Bound for Glory 2009 ends with the legit question as to how much longer Sting will stay with TNA Wrestling. That's all we got tonight, goodnight AngryMarks fans!
