[edit] Bound For Glory In Chicago

TNAWrestling.com reported that Bound For Glory IV is gonna be held at the Sears Centre Arena in suburban Hoffman Estates, Ill. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ewitner (talk • contribs) 20:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah that is already in the article. Someone placed it in there and I made it a reference.--WillC 21:26, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Bound for Glory IV isn't the official name. On the promotional video it does have the signature but that doesn't mean it is the name. The video name was Bound for Glory 2008. Why should it be changed? TNA hasn't called it Bound for Glory 4.--WillC 06:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately it does mean it's the current name of the event. This is just like every year when a new WrestleMania logo is released. Take this year for example. Even though the event in the promotional video wasn't verbally referred to as WrestleMania XXV, we use the logo as reference. The same format is applied here. And as for TNA not calling it Bound for Glory IV, I suggest you take a look at the press release that officially refers to the event as Bound for Glory IV, [1].

"TNA Wrestling is announcing that “Bound For Glory IV” will be held live at the Sears Centre Arena in suburban Hoffman Estates, Ill., on Sunday, Oct. 12, starting at 8pm ET / 5pm PT, and will air worldwide exclusively on Pay-Per-View.... Tickets for “Bound For Glory IV” will go on sale August 1 at all Ticketmaster outlets, online at Ticketmaster.com and at the Sears Centre Arena box office. Full details will be available in the coming weeks.... The “Bound For Glory IV” weekend kicks off Oct. 11 with TNA’s popular Fan Interaction, where fans will get to meet the in-ring stars of TNA, get their autograph and have a photo taken alongside the stars of TNA."

Quite honestly, this should have been moved a long time ago. ^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 06:53, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Just in case that isn't enough... [2] ^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 07:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I understand that now but they still haven't said something like "This year Bound for Glory four will be in Chicago Illinois at the Sears Centre" on Impact or TNA today. I just feel it is moving a little fast at changing the article. They could start saying Bound for Glory 4 or could keep calling it Bound for Glory 2008. I just feel with 2 very good sources it still isn't enough. You need actual footage that is the official name. I just want to make sure. On the promotional video on youtube it says Bound for Glory 2008. So I'm still a little skeptical.--WillC 07:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Where in this video is this event referred to as Bound for Glory 2008 other than the title of the video? [3] It is ridiculous to think the name of the video on youtube is a higher authority over the video itself. The Logo is there (your actual footage), the official press release is there, and even the venue's website lists the event as "BfG IV". ^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 07:39, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

The question is! Why would TNA have the title of the video Bound for Glory 2008, instead of Bound for Glory IV? Maybe I'm being stubborn. Like you said in summary when you moved the article Guess who went all WrestleMania on us. I guess I'm in denial and trying to find a excuse for it to not be true. I watch TNA because it is different than WWE and now they've went WWEish. But anyway, The press releases are months before the event. The name could be changed and their only using the Roman Numerals to promote the event. I believe I remember last year seeing a promo for BFG 07 that had Roman Numerals and it was still BFG 07. Anyway why would the title be 08 instead of IV.--WillC 07:46, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Because as of now it is the current name of the event. If they decide to change the name of the event again before the event then this article will also recognize that change. Take WMXXIV for example. It was called WrestleMania 24 when it was first announced and it ended up being called WrestleMania XXIV in the end. Things can change. However for now the name of the event is Bound for Glory IV, and believe me, I know how you feel about the WWEish thing. ^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 07:52, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay. I agree. We'll leave it like it is. I just wish TNA would announce these things in advance like WWE. Announce BFG 09 right after BFG 08 TNA. Thanks. Hopefully they'll quit this crap and go back to their ways in 05. Oh yeah, I got Genesis (2008) for you on the IV.--WillC 07:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh thank you. My apologies for missing that and for the late responses. I was reading some comments on youtube... ^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 08:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

(I so wish I could cuss right now). Also thanks for getting that 12th on the Sears Centre article. I know this should go on the BFG talk page instead of this one but do you think we should change the other BFG articles to have Roman Numerals?--WillC 08:07, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually I don't think that would be possible since this is the first event to use roman numerals. The others have only been known as BfG only. Maybe if TNA went back and retconned all of those events to have roman numerals, we might be able to recognize that change ala Super Bowl I. Even so, why would you want to change them to have roman numerals? I thought you were against it. ^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 08:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Well if that is the way TNA wants to go with it and I've heard something about TNA owning websites like Bound for Glory II and Bound for Glory III. Just was thinking about it. I'm starting to come out of denial. Come on TNA has Russo. I should have expected this to happen. Also just for you to know it is BFG not BoG.--WillC 08:19, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Typo... or it could mean something else not appropriate for the Wiki... ^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 08:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Nah it was a typo XD^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 08:26, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay. Well I guess we reached a conclusion that it is left as is until said otherwise by TNA.--WillC 08:32, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Agreed.^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 08:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Alright. Hey we made the article bigger. Like anyone gives a crap.--WillC 08:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
