#2. Bound For Glory
BFG 2022 was already shaping up to an impressive show, not only because of the matches on the card but that fact the hype for this event was better than that of Slammiversary months prior.
When it comes to the actual event…Brian Myers retained his Digital Media Championship over a debuting Dirty Dango aka the former Fandango in the WWE and former NWA Champion and TNA Legend, Raven was inducted into the Impact Wrestling Hall of Fame and he even manage to hit his signature Even Flow DDT on his old rival, Tommy Dreamer on the preshow.
Things kicked off quite nicely with TNA legend Frankie Kazarian pulling the upset victory over ‘Speedball‘ Mike Bailey to become the new X Division Champion and Mickie James continued her in-ring career by beating (and at one point even kissing) former Knockouts champion, Mia Yim in what would be her last match with the company.
Tag team action was up next as Taya Valkyrie and Jessicka of the Death Dolls defeated the team of Chelsea Green and Deonna Purrazzo aka VXT to win the Knockouts Tag Team Titles and Honor No More’s Matt Taven and Mike Bennett escaped with their Impact World Tag Team Titles over the Motor City Machine Guns.
Then came the Call Your Shot Gaunlet match which saw names like PCO, Killer Kelly, Moose, Rich Swann, Steve Maclin, Gisele Shaw and Bobby Fish take part but also saw the returns of Joe Hendry, Tommy Dreamer, Taylor Wilde, Rhino, Matt Cardona and eventual winner Bully Ray.
Jordynne Grace and Masha Slamovich faced off in a highly anticipated one-on-one contest for the Knockouts World Championship and Josh Alexander defended his Impact World Heavyweight Championship against Eddie Edwards with both bouts easily being the best matches on the card if not some of the best matches Impact has produced in 2022 which is really saying something.
While news that Mia Yim and many members of Honor No More would be leaving the company not long after this show did deflat some fans, the event itself is undoubtably one of the best BFG events Impact Wrestling has had for some time…But despite all of this, there’s just one more pay per view that managed to outperform the rest in almost every way imaginable.
