00:00The heartbreak that Mike Santana endured in his home of New York back at Slammiversary.
00:05We have been living in this world of Trick Williams as the TNA World Champion ever since WWE Battleground this past summer.
00:12Will it all come to an end?
00:14Will Mike Santana's path of purpose be realized tonight at Bound for Glory?
00:20Mike Santana wants to bring our world title home.
00:31The champion wants to see Trick and A live on.
00:36Spin the block!
00:38Trick Williams throwing out Santana!
00:41Trick Williams is going to steal this one!
00:44Damn it!
00:46When will this nightmare end?
00:51You were a prisoner, not of chains forged by the people around you, but of the sins you invited into your life.
00:59Pride whispered in your ear, telling you that you were already a king before you had earned your crown.
01:05This is my house now!
01:07I am the present, I am the man, this is Trick and A now.
01:12But the truth is, to get this here title right here, you need more than just a story.
01:18You gotta be the best man for business.
01:21And Trick Williams is the best!
01:25You are no longer the victim of your sins.
01:28You are their executioner.
01:31The struggle was the fire.
01:33Growth is the rise of the smoke.
01:37Success.
01:38Success is the sound of the final trumpet.
01:41Announcing not the end, but the beginning of who you are.
01:44You come out here, and you talk about being a man.
01:48You talk about being built for this.
01:50But the truth is, you ain't been where I've been.
01:54You ain't seen what I've seen.
01:57I've scratched and clawed my way out of rock bottom to stand here before all of you alive and well.
02:07Trick, you're standing across from a man who's got nothing to lose and everything to save.
02:16The only way to stand out from the crowd is to stand for something special.
02:20The people love you, the fans, they love you.
02:22You've got something special going on.
02:25Santana, your time has come.
02:27As we get set for our main event, let's take a look at the tale of the tape.
02:40For 140 days, Trick Williams has reigned as the TNA World Champion.
02:44It began in a method of Trick Williams trying to resurrect himself,
02:50trying to overcome the embarrassment and humiliation he suffered at the hands of Joe Hendry.
02:54Meanwhile, Mike Santana has made it very clear since Rebellion 2024,
02:59he returned to this company to become the face of TNA Wrestling,
03:03to capture the TNA World Championship, and to complete his path of purpose.
03:08The TNA World Champion,
03:19Santana is gone.
03:19What's up?
03:19Hey-y-y.
03:20Start going next.
03:21The rockin' apple dont' more far from the wrinked trees.
03:24Put depression at its misery,
03:26There's a need when I fightятся delight at the end.
03:29The tunnel will deliver peace,
03:31Read the epitome.
03:32As he always does, Mike Santana walking his way to the ring, through the crowd, the people
04:01who brought him to the dance, the people who still represent where he came from, that
04:07is Mike Santana to the soul, to the heart.
04:11The loud and proud Bericua, sporting Taino Warpaint, which is with the indigenous natives
04:19of Puerto Rico.
04:21He carries that with him everywhere he goes.
04:24It has been nearly two decades of grinding in this business of professional wrestling.
04:31But when Mike Santana says, it's been a lifetime of fighting, he means it.
04:36From the streets of New York, to the main event of Bound for Glory.
04:40He has had a scratching claw for everything in his life.
04:46Mike Santana keeps those close to him in his soul, in his very heart.
04:54Not only, of course, people like his daughter, his family here with him tonight, his father,
04:59who he's lost, you see that Yao band he's wearing, a fallen friend, a fellow brother,
05:06a wrestler, a man by the name of Jonathan Echevarria, who went by the name Chaka, who we lost too
05:12soon this fall.
05:14Mike Santana carries all those and more with him into a battle like this.
05:18That is what the path of purpose represents.
05:20That is what it is about for Mike Santana.
05:25Oh, look who it is.
05:30The legend Conan is here at Bound for Glory.
05:34He has been a mentor to Mike Santana for years.
05:38TNA fans, remember the days of LAX in this company.
05:43Conan helped guide Mike Santana along the path that he is now down.
05:49We heard the words of Conan this past week on TNA Impact, the words he wrote to Mike Santana.
05:57Now he's here in the flesh, repping him, backing him, with him all the way to the end.
06:04Mike Santana has all the support in the world.
06:16The question is, will it be enough to answer every trick of the world champion?
06:26Can Mike Santana do what he was unable to do at Slammiversary?
06:31Can he hand the TNA World Championship to his daughter, Ariana, and say that he did it?
06:38Not sure what we're doing but I see that he did it worse.
07:38He is a world-class athlete.
07:43He is a decorated champion.
07:46But he does not care one iota about TNA Wrestling or the TNA World Championship.
07:53He cares about the heights his name goes to.
07:57And he will do it at anyone's expense.
08:00Look, I don't think anybody can deny Trick Williams has looked to redefine TNA in his image.
08:07In TNA, he sees a mirror in which you can see the largest reflection of his own visage.
08:14You can call out the hubris of it, but you have to ask yourself what a person like that is willing to do to hold on to that power and that spotlight.
08:23One could argue Trick Williams, the spark that lit the powder keg for what became Showdown earlier on this week.
08:38The way he pursued the TNA World Championship was purely out of spite because he'd been humiliated by Oberfemi and Joe Hendry months and months ago.
08:48He revealed his true desire that was to capture the NXT Championship, which has escaped him now for quite some time.
08:58Trick Williams wants to make sure that paycheck cashes one more time as TNA World Champion.
09:04The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the TNA World Championship.
09:19The challenger from the Bronx, New York, weighing in at 230 pounds, Mike Santana.
09:39Stand up!
09:51Stand up!
09:58Stand up!
10:01Stand up!
10:03Stand up!
10:04I'm going to beat your ass like you're the Boston Red Sox.
10:25Standing at a taller than you, six foot four.
10:29Weighing in at a 60, 255 pound, the greatest TNA champion of all time, the man responsible
10:49for every ass in a seat tonight.
10:53Oh, thank you.
10:59And Santana's all over Trick.
11:02This match hasn't even officially begun.
11:05Santana's lost it.
11:10And Trick Williams, I know he's got that scumbag lawyer of his at ringside, but he's trying
11:15to walk away from Mike Santana.
11:18You know Trick will use anything in the book.
11:20He can't literally any book that has any rule to get him out of this.
11:24He ain't getting out of his ass whooping for Mike Santana, but the match, it's not official
11:30yet.
11:30This is just a fight, and this is what Mike Santana does best.
11:36There's no doubt about it.
11:38I'm putting money on Mike Santana in a street fight, but that's not what this is.
11:42Mike has got to be careful here.
11:46Now Trick Williams finding an opening here.
11:48Again, the match is not officially underway for the TNA World Championship.
11:53Trick Williams able to hop the barricade.
11:57What the hell?
11:58Spilling out into the TNA fans here.
12:03Oh, with a trash can, Santana able to block it.
12:10Oh!
12:12And this thing is broken down before it started.
12:14Oh!
12:15Now Mike Santana and Trick Williams battling here in the Sangha Center in Lowell, Massachusetts.
12:28Amidst the largest North American crowd ever assembled for a TNA wrestling event.
12:35Oh!
12:35Oh!
12:37Oh!

12:42Oh!
12:42Oh!
12:42Oh!
12:42Oh!
12:42Oh!
12:42Oh!
12:42Oh!
12:42Oh!
12:42Oh!
12:42Oh!
12:42Oh!
12:42Oh!
12:43Oh!

12:53Oh!
12:54Oh!
12:55Oh!
12:56Oh!
12:57Oh!
12:58Oh!
12:59Oh!
13:00Oh!
13:01Oh!
13:02Oh!
13:03Oh!
13:04Oh!
13:05Oh!
13:06Oh!
13:07Oh!
13:08Oh!
13:09Oh!
13:10Oh!
13:11Oh!
13:12Oh!
13:13Oh!
13:14Oh!
13:15combatants and trying to get them into the ring.
13:19And now Santana dumping Trick.
13:27Let's go, boy.
13:29Let's go.
13:30Let's fucking go.
13:32And his hot-blooded passion.
13:34Oh, wait a minute.
13:34Oh, Trick Williams with a title belt right between the eyes of Santana.
13:39And now back inside the ring, finally.
13:52And the referee knows he's got to check on Mike Santana to see if he can go.
13:57Santana says, ring the damn bell.
13:59There it is.
14:02The Trick Kick, Santana having to kick out.
14:06And that was what I was worried about, though, Tom.
14:09With the anger, with that passion of Santana.
14:12He ended up paying for it.
14:13Like it or not, this could be it.
14:15Hook to both legs.
14:17Santana's still in this.
14:19Trick Williams trying to end this thing as quickly as possible.
14:24Williams weathered the storm.
14:25It counted on Mike Santana.
14:28Getting too upset.
14:30Getting hot-headed.
14:32And Trick Williams made him pay for it.
14:34We've seen how Trick Williams has survived against the likes of Joe Hendrick, Elijah, Moose.
14:46He will cut any corner.
14:48He even tried getting out of defending the title at all, invoking that aforementioned lawyer, making sure he had to wait at least 50 days.
14:58Well, those days are up.
15:00We are here in the main event, bound for glory.
15:02Williams, ducking these shots.
15:06Oh, double shot right to the throat.
15:11Snap air there by Trick Williams.
15:13Big spin kick.
15:14Lips into the neckbreaker.
15:16Mike Santana's got to weather this storm as he's still alive.
15:19Yes, able to kick out.
15:21And since this match has officially begun, it has been all Trick Williams.
15:27Remember how it's Slammiversary, that triple threat match between Hendry, Santana, and Trick.
15:42Santana had that one after he hit spin the block on Hendry.
15:46But Trick had been feigning an injury during the matchup.
15:48He tossed Santana out of the ring and stole the matchup, retained his championship.
15:54The last time he went one-on-one with Santana, he had help from A.J. Francis.
16:00One thing you can dominate, you can pull every trick, you do not to slap a man like Mike Santana in the face and lift it down the tail.
16:08And now Santana lighting up Trick Williams.
16:10Oh, Santana sent hard to the outside, and a rough landing for The Realist.
16:20Hey, check your socks.
16:23A great flurry there from Santana, but Trick Williams.
16:29A double-ed takedown, Santana's in trouble.
16:36Watch out.
16:38Oh, Santana face-first into the post.
16:46And Trick Williams, just like that, turns the matchup around in his favor once again.
16:56Mike Santana is in trouble.
16:59And Trick Williams rolls back inside the ring, resetting the ten count.
17:03After a shot like that, Trick could take his time.
17:10Oh, God.
17:11Oh.
17:12And Mike Santana's busted wide open.
17:15Oh.
17:22The blood, sweat, and tears all coming out in this one.
17:26Second, Trick Williams.
17:37Again, this is not a street fight, folks.
17:39Oh, dear God.
17:39Trick Williams is trying to end Mike Santana.
17:42Dear God.
17:44You know, they took his head off.
17:47Oh, and a Superman forearm off of the steps.
17:50This one, turning into absolute bedlam.
17:58Mike!
17:59Kind of far from the referee, Santana goes spine-first into the steel.
18:06Nasty landing for the realist.
18:10Mike Santana has conquered everything in his path.
18:20Can he endure this?
18:30Let's take another look back at this.
18:32Santana thought he had the advantage again.
18:34Trick Williams, though, turning it around with that backdrop onto the steps.
18:39And the TNA World Champion is feeling confident.
18:46Trick Williams had rolled inside and reset the ten count.
18:49Count of three now from our official.
18:52Count out works in the champion's favor.
18:54Trick Williams more than happy to let Mike Santana get counted out.
18:59Count of five here.
19:01Count of six.
19:03Santana's got to the count of ten to get back inside the ring.
19:06Count of seven.
19:09Eight.
19:10Mike Santana's got to move.
19:13Santana back inside the ring.
19:15But there's Trick Williams to meet him.
19:17Act kick, though.
19:18Cover.
19:19Cover.
19:20Santana kicks out at two.
19:22Santana having a hard time getting off the blocks here.
19:25Three.
19:26Three.
19:27One.
19:27Get your punk ass up.
19:28And you can feel some of the frustration from Trick Williams at this point.
19:35That pearl white gear of Trick Williams now stayed with the blood of Mike Santana.
19:41Trick Williams trying to drain the life out of Mike Santana here center of the ring.
19:53And here's the thing.
19:53When you already have a head wound like that, folks, squeezing on the neck, on the head, on the torso like that just forces more blood out of your body, more disorientation for Mike Santana.
20:03Smart approach.
20:05Bad position to be in if you're the challenger.
20:08Now Santana finally able to create some breathing room but trying to get his equilibrium about him.
20:13And Santana refusing to quit.
20:19Trick Williams charges.
20:21Santana's got him up on the shoulders.
20:23Loaded up.
20:26Santana launching Trick into the turnbuckles.
20:30Hook to the inside leg to win the TNA World title and a kickout.
20:36Not enough, but enough maybe to gain an advantage, to open a window.
20:42Can Mike Santana reclaim our world championship?
20:54Finally, after all this time, the defiant Mike Santana continues to move forward.
21:05Trick Williams, though, not going down without a fight.
21:08Oh, a blockbuster off the top there by TNA World.
21:12Trick, cover.
21:13Santana is still in it.
21:15Great counter from the champion there, but the heart of Mike Santana still beats.
21:29Trick Williams continues to lay into Mike Santana, but I talked about the frustration earlier on.
21:35Mike Santana is one of the toughest outs we've ever seen.
21:39At what point does that emotion overwhelm Trick Williams?
21:45Mike Santana is the answer to the question, how much more do you have left?
21:51And Trick Williams is finding that out first hand.
21:55Hold on.
21:55Right now, rolling back 50.
21:59Santana, foot on the gas.
22:02Outlined in chalk.
22:03The OIC.
22:06Now Santana's starting to boil.
22:08Santana's starting to roll.
22:11Cannonball.
22:11Now Santana's trying to win the world championship trick.
22:18And I can't count.
22:21Remember, it's been months that Mike Santana has been thinking about one thing.
22:28Hit and spin the block on Trick Williams and taking his head clean off.
22:32And as he stands to his feet in here, how apropos that that traditional Puerto Rican war paint,
22:40if you will, is now replaced by his own blood, the wound of war.
22:48And Santana looks to the sky.
22:50What a battle this has already been.
23:03Now Mike Santana going up top.
23:05There's Trick Williams, however.
23:07Trick was lying in wait.
23:09Oh, Santana sent spine first into the hardest part of the ring.
23:15Absolute nasty landing for Santana.
23:19And now Trick sending Santana into the steel post.
23:25Second time that's happened to Santana in this match.
23:29Santana!
23:30Santana!
23:32Santana!
23:33Santana!
23:34Is this your daddy right here?
23:37Oh, and there's Mike Santana's daughter, Ariana.
23:41Trick Williams talking trash with her bloody father feet away.
23:46Watch him out.
23:47Three, two, one.
23:48Oh.
23:49Truly adding insult to injury.
23:51Another level of insult.
23:53That's your daddy, huh?
23:55That's your daddy?
23:57Hey, Timmy, who's your daddy now?
23:59Who's your daddy now?
24:01Yeah, yeah.
24:02Oh!
24:02Oh!
24:03And Mike Santana on the top!
24:09Like father, like daughter!
24:13You beat me to it!
24:14You beat me to it!
24:14Do not mess with a Santana!
24:18And now Trick Williams sent back into the ring.
24:25Santana motivated, trying to move forward.
24:28A big kick right to the head by Santana.
24:32A big kick right to the head by Santana.
24:35Cover bomb!
24:36Cover!
24:37Get a nerf!
24:38Oh, Trick Williams out at two!
24:41What a scene in the main event of Bound for Glory.
24:46One of the biggest matches in TNA history.
24:50Up onto the shoulders again.
25:03Mike Santana, dumping Trick.
25:06Look out below.
25:19Over 50!
25:25Cover!
25:26Come on, my God!
25:27A kick out by Williams.
25:29You know, Santana's not kidding around when he busts out that 450 splash, but still not
25:40enough to put Trick Williams away.
25:44Reminiscent of his days in LAX, watch this again, a thing of beauty from a man his size.
25:52Mike Santana pulling every tool out of the toolbox to defeat Trick Williams.
25:58What the hell?
26:03Trick Williams' lawyer, who we saw earlier on in the night.
26:07One of several, apparently.
26:09Oh, now, Trick!
26:10Trick!
26:11Using the distraction and a kick out!
26:13Oh, reference to the block!
26:14Trick!
26:15Standing near Anagi.
26:16Now following up.
26:17Trick over another one!
26:21The TNA champ sticking it to Mike Santana here.
26:34And now Trick Williams is going up top.
26:36We have not seen this much from Trick.
26:38Oh, and a boom right to the head!
26:41That could have been a knockout shot.
26:44Fighting in the higher-end district here.
26:53Wait a second.
26:55Oh, wait a minute.
26:59Oh, and Yuranagi off of the top!
27:02To retain, Mike Santana won't quit!
27:07Mike Santana's still in this, and Trick Williams is going for his TNA World Championship.
27:19He's ready to lose it.
27:20He's willing to do whatever it takes, apparently.
27:24I ask the question, when will the frustration overwhelm Trick Williams?
27:29He'd be more than happy to take a DQ at this point.
27:33If he uses the belt, he'll get disqualified.
27:37Oh, swinging it at Santana!
27:39Santana now the cover!
27:41Trick able to kick out!
27:43Wait, another roll-up though!
27:44Santana trying to surprise him in a kick-out!
27:46Keeping Trick on his feet by keeping him off his feet!
27:49Whoa!
27:50Went for Spin the Block!
27:51There's Santana to meet him!
27:52There's Santana to meet him!
27:53Off of the ropes!
27:54Trick kick!
27:55Oh!
27:56Spin the Block!
27:57Got him!
27:58Spin the Block!
27:59Cover!
28:00Oh my god, Trick Williams kicked out!
28:03Into a cover!
28:04Are you kidding me either?
28:05Into a cover, Santana's still alive!
28:06How?
28:07No one has kicked out of Spin the Block!
28:20Since Mike Santana's return to TNA!
28:23Roughly a year and a half ago!
28:25Santana put everything into that one!
28:30Maybe not enough to get the cover he wanted!
28:36Either way, this battle continues!
28:39You knew!
28:40You knew that was straight!
28:41You knew that was straight!
28:42Oh, wait a minute, there's that lawyer!
28:43You knew that was straight!
28:44You knew that was straight!
28:45You knew that was straight!
28:46You knew!
28:47And that was the only-
28:48Trick Williams lawyer arguing with the referee and Santana's had enough of it!
28:52Wait, wait, wait, wait!
28:53I know, Mike, but don't get distracted now!
28:56Spin the Block!
28:57Look out!
28:58Look out!
28:59Look out!
29:00Look out!
29:01Oh, and a trick shot!
29:02No!
29:03Trick shot!
29:04Not like this!
29:05Oh, Santana kicked out!
29:06One, two, three!
29:08One, two, three!
29:13The heartbeat of the man who represents the heart of TNA is still beating!
29:18Santana!
29:19Santana!
29:20Santana!
29:21Santana!
29:22Santana!
29:23Santana's looking at his little girl, Ariana, in the corner!
29:28He knows what he's fighting for, he knows who he's fighting for!
29:33Fight Santana for victory!
29:35Fight Santana for victory!
