TNA Bound for Glory 2010 ended with Jeff Hardy turning heel

TNA’s Bound for Glory event took place on October 10, 2010, at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida.

In the main event, Kurt Angle, Mr. Anderson and Jeff Hardy competed for the vacant TNA title.

After the referee was knocked down, Eric Bischoff came to the ring, followed by Hulk Hogan’s music.

The closing angle established a new force and featured Hardy turning heel, meaning he shifted into a villain role.

TNA had promoted the date 10/10/10 and promised a major surprise in the months before the event.

The angle echoed the New World Order storyline, which began when Hogan joined the group at a 1996 wrestling event.

The event mattered because TNA presented the ending as a major change for the company, though reaction to the angle was mixed.
