Bound for Glory (2007) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), which took take place on October 14, 2007 at the Gwinnett Center in the Atlanta suburb of Duluth, Georgia. It was the fourth event under the Bound for Glory chronology. Eight professional wrestling matches were featured on the event's card.

Production[edit]

Background[edit]

Adam "Pacman" Jones, who is also from Atlanta and appeared on the show, personally purchased 1,500 tickets with the intention of donating them to the Fulton County School District to be handed out as rewards for scholastic achievement and good conduct.

The third installment of Bound for Glory was announced in early July 2007 via TNA's official website, with it being scheduled for October 14, 2007; no location for the event was announced.[1] On July 26, 2007 TNA sent out text messages to subscribers of their "TNA Mobile" service announcing that Bound for Glory 2007 would be held in Atlanta, Georgia at the Gwinnett Center, which is actually located in the Duluth suburb of Atlanta.[2] This was later confirmed more publicly when they published a press release via their official website.[2] Also mentioned during the press release was the confirmation of another Total Nonstop InterAction event slated for the weekend of the event.[2] The date for Total Nonstop InterAction was later released in early August 2007, when the event was booked for October 13, 2007.[3]

Storylines[edit]

The event featured ten professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either villains or heroes in the scripted events that built tension and culminated into a wrestling match or series of matches.
