00:00TNA Wrestling is live just outside of Boston in Lowell, Massachusetts at the Sonja Center.
00:08This has been the year of our renaissance.
00:12We are vindicated.
00:13We are revolutionary.
00:15And we have the eyes of the world upon us.
00:18It's our time.
00:20This is TNA's greatest stage.
00:22Welcome to Bound for Glory.
00:25And right now we open tonight's event with TNA ring announcer.
00:30Move your hats for the playing of our national anthem.
00:33Here to present the national colors are the U.S. Marines of the recruiting station in Boston.
01:00More traits and frees.

02:52The following contest is scheduled for one call and is for the TNA International Championship.
03:46A very, very special start to Bound for Glory.
03:53Steve Macklin literally walking out in a sea of his military brethren to potentially bring home the TNA International Champion.
04:05Macklin competing in his first singles match at Bound for Glory.
04:10And his opponent from Yucca Valley, California, weighing in at 220 pounds.
04:27He is the TNA International Champion, Frankie Kazarian.
04:41Frankie Kazarian is striding into his ninth match all time.
04:45A TNA's biggest event of the year, Bound for Glory, and doing so as the TNA International Champion after dethroning Macklin, the inaugural champion.
04:56A lot of people around this country say no Kings, but in TNA, there is one, and he is the one, and only Frankie Kazarian.
05:08And he is still your and my international championship.
05:11Oh, wait a minute.
05:12A scum by Macklin.
05:14And the bell's not even rung yet.
05:18Macklin gets Kazarian back inside the ring.
05:21There's the bell.
05:21Well, this TNA International Championship match is underway to kickoff, Bound for Glory.
05:29Macklin's starting off fast and furious.
05:31You know he's still hot and bothered about how everything went down in losing that championship.
05:37I was going to say hello to have gotten to the headlines, but Macklin had other plans.
05:40Two weeks ago at Victory Road, to your point, the involvement of AAA's El Macias created a distraction for Steve Macklin.
05:48And amongst that matchup also, Frankie Kazarian cheated to win the matchup and take the title from Macklin.
05:56No doubt about it.
05:58Kazarian saw an opening, saw an opportunity, and took it.
06:03Thanks to, ooh, El Macias, as you mentioned.
06:07Macklin reigned for 162 days as the first ever TNA International Champion.
06:13Oh, and the guillotine leg drop there by Kazarian.
06:16Macklin set a standard, enough that it caught the eye of the TNA original, Frankie Kazarian.
06:24Kazarian has been on a journey of his own.
06:26Oh, my God!
06:28A sunset bomb to the floor!
06:32Macklin just smacked his entire carcass off the ground.
06:38TNA!
06:38TNA!
06:39Take another look at this.
06:41This is just the beginning of the action here at Battle for Glory, this sunset bomb to Macklin to the outside.
06:48So, Frankie Kazarian responding up that scud from Macklin before the match.
06:54I mean, this one might be over before it really gets started.
06:57Kaz could take a count on here, but no.
07:00Choosing to go after Macklin inflicting more punishment.
07:03I think Kazarian has taken this personally between he and Steve Macklin.
07:08He was ticked off that Santino Marella even gave Macklin this opportunity, a rematch.
07:13Oh, wait a minute.
07:15Oh, hold on now.
07:16And there's Steve Macklin's mother, Annie.
07:22I don't know if I'd mess with anybody who had the power to birth Steve Macklin.
07:27Oh, that's definitely Steve Macklin's mom.
07:46Well, if you don't understand, I guess you've got a little bit of sidetrackage for him.
07:51And now Macklin kicking the hell out of Kazarian.
07:55That'll make a mother proud.
07:56You do not insult the Marine's mama.
07:58Very true.
07:59I'll tell you that much.
08:00Very, very true.
08:01Kazarian now trying to gather himself back inside the ring.
08:04That's press.
08:05And here comes Macklin.
08:06Remember, the title can only change hands via pinfall or submission in the ring,
08:10not via countout or disqualification.
08:13Macklin's just got to regain a little bit of composure here.
08:15To your point, got to get this done in the center of the ring.
08:18Oh, go for the chicken wing.
08:20Go for the chicken wing.
08:22Back elbow there by Macklin.
08:24Like a firecracker, and boom!
08:27An Olympic slam from Bulletproof Steve Macklin, who's all sorts of fired up here at Battle for Glory.
08:35Tom, you and I both know what kind of pride and meaning Macklin put in being that first-ever international champion.
08:41It meant the world to him to set that pattern, to set that tone for a brand-new championship.
08:47Macklin trying to right a wrong, as he believes in his mind.
08:52But right now, he's got Kazarian right where he wants him.
09:00Bring in everybody with him.
09:02Oh, and Kazarian, there he got caught in the crosshairs.
09:09Oh, looking for a cover out of their way.
09:10Wait a minute, wait a minute, now it's Macklin with a chicken wing on Kazarian.
09:15Kazarian was going for that cutter he pulled on Macklin at Victory Road, but no.
09:19There's a cover.
09:20Oh, wait a minute, Kazarian had his hand on the ropes, a referee caught him.
09:24Good catch by referee, Alice Lane there.
09:28The match continues, and there's Macklin right after Kazarian.
09:32Oh, and a backstabber.
09:34That'll soil you up real quick.
09:36On the move, low clothesline.
09:39Listen, I'll give credit to Frankie Kazarian.
09:42He acquitted himself well this past Tuesday as a part of Showdown, representing Team TNA.
09:47Look out.
09:48But right now, he's caught in a Boston Crab in low mass.
09:52How apropos has Macklin looking to get the submission victory here?
09:59Kazarian getting to the bottom rope.
10:02See, Macklin refusing to relinquish.
10:05He's got to be careful he doesn't get disqualified.
10:07He won't win the title.
10:08That's what I'm saying.
10:09If Macklin has a big weakness in his armor, it's that he can't let it get to his head.
10:14The emotions can get to become a bit much.
10:16Go for KIA.
10:19Kazarian able to escape.
10:21Kazarian does own the...
10:223-1 advantage.
10:24All-time one-on-one against Macklin.
10:27Kaz with a little Pele kick there.
10:29Shuff it out.
10:30And AJ Styles is right there.
10:32A tribute to Christopher Daniels.
10:34Angel swings.
10:36Oh, and a kick out.
10:37His old bad influence teammate.
10:41It's been a weekend of tributes, whether you're in the United States or Australia.
10:44No kidding, two of Frankie Kazarian's greatest rivals represented in the span of about 10 seconds there.
10:50It's also special for Kazarian to be competing here in Massachusetts.
10:54Since he trained under the late, great Hall of Famer Killer Kowalski nearby in Malvis.
11:02You can hear how the people alone feel about Frankie.
11:05This is where the man cut his teeth.
11:07How dare they?
11:08My God, hold on a second.
11:10Is Kazarian thinking about fade to black from the second rope?
11:16He thought about it.
11:20That's for damn sure.
11:21Macklin, though, saw it coming.
11:24Now, Macklin, again, he's got to be careful.
11:26Cannot risk a disqualification, but Kazarian is down.
11:34You know what's serious when you go full Tyson?
11:37And Macklin about to drop the jar headbutt, but no.
11:41Kazarian rolled out of the way.
11:43Now Macklin needs some regroup out on the apron.
11:46I don't think Kazarian's going to give him the time.
11:48There's a slingshot cutter.
11:49Wait, this is how it went down at Victory Road.
11:53Macklin able to kick out.
11:55One, two, three.
11:55Macklin stays alive.
11:58And Kaz can't believe it.
12:00Now it's the king who has to not get frustrated, not let his butt boil.
12:05Let's go, Macklin!
12:09Let's go, Macklin!
12:11Stopped there by Kazarian.
12:13Plenty of frustration for Kazarian, who much of the last few years has been talking about
12:18capturing the TNA World Championship.
12:20He saw an opportunity, believed there was a weakness he could take advantage of.
12:24He thrived at Victory Road amidst the chaos and took the international title.
12:29Hang on, though.
12:31Look at the position Macklin's in.
12:34A little bit of insult to injury.
12:38You saw Macklin going for the chicken wing.
12:41Maybe Kaz thinks Turnabout is fair play here.
12:44It's Macklin about to get caught in the crosshairs.
12:51Wait a minute, Macklin sits up.
12:53Kazarian went into the turnbuckle.
12:55Oh, wait, here we go.
12:56Turning it right back around.
13:00And now this is how it's done.
13:05Kazarian gets caught in the crosshairs.
13:07Nearly caught in the king of TNA in half there.
13:11And now Macklin trying to set up for it.
13:14Yes!
13:15KIA planted!
13:17One, two, three.
13:19Steve Macklin has taken back the TNA International title.
13:24Here is your winner and new TNA International champion, Steve Macklin!
13:45And there is TNA President Carlos Silva to return at the International Championship to Steve Macklin here at Bound for Glory.
13:55What a way to start things off here.
13:57You see the members of the U.S. Green Corps who joined Macklin on his entrance watching with pride.
14:05That match, that match was non-stop action.
14:09How apropos here for TNA Bound for Glory.
14:12And a trigger by Macklin to those Marines who come from Recruiting Station Boston.
14:27An era where Marines 250 campaign will celebrate the 250th Marine Corps birthday on November 10th.
14:34And there's Steve Macklin celebrating his championship win with his mother Annie.
14:41Like mother, like son.
14:42Ain't no doubt about it.
14:43Now I see where he gets it.
14:46Is it weird that I found that a little emotional?
14:48I'm a little teary-eyed by that?
14:50Yes.
14:50Yes, it is.
14:51Either way, a great start to the night for Bulletproof Steve Macklin.
14:57No doubt about it.
15:02Steve Macklin stands victorious on TNA's greatest stage.
