Background

At Slammiversary XVII, Impact Wrestling announced the date for Bound for Glory, [2] with the Odeum Expo Center later announced as the event's venue. [3]

Storylines

The event featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. [4]

Reception

Bound for Glory received mixed reviews. Nolan Howell of Canoe.ca declared that "There were some moments to be happy about on this show. The ladder match, the main event, and Elgin vs. Marufuji delivered. They left themselves a lot of room to book between Callihan & oVe, Cage, Blanchard, and potential to build other winners like Ace Austin". [5]

Larry Csonka from 411mania further stated that "Impact Bound for Glory 2019 was a good but uneven show with a slow start but later developed into a really fun show. I think they may have missed an opportunity but not having Sami and Tessa win big here, as Sami is their best heel by a mile, while Tessa is the biggest star they have right now. If you're cherry picking, check out the ladder match, Elgin vs. Marufuji, and Sami vs Cage." [6]

Jason Powell from Pro Wrestling Dot Net commented on the main event as being a "solid main event that lacked drama. Both guys worked hard and put their bodies on the line, but they never sold me on Callihan’s near falls for some reason. The overall show featured strong effort and some insane moments. Here’s hoping that the company moving into its run on AXS TV means next year’s BFG will feel bigger". [7]
