Atlanta, Georgia, (August 2, 2007) – Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling is returning wrestling “Glory" to Atlanta. In what promises to be the most talked about pro wrestling event of 2007 and the biggest night in the company’s history, TNA Wrestling announced that “Bound For Glory 2007" will be held live at The Arena at Gwinnett Center in Atlanta on October 14, airing exclusively on pay-per-view.
“The city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia have been a part of so many wonderful moments in wrestling history, and now we’re thrilled to bring what can only be described as an unbelievable night unlike anything ever seen to the loyal wrestling fans of Atlanta," TNA President Dixie Carter said.
“Bound For Glory" will return former Olympic Gold Medalist and current TNA World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle to the site of his greatest amateur wrestling achievement.
