Bound for Glory X Bound for Glory X was a professional wrestling pay - per - view ( PPV ) event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling ( TNA ) , It took place on October 12 , 2014 at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo , Japan . It was the tenth pay - per - view under the Bound for Glory chronology , and the fourth and last event in the 2014 TNA PPV schedule . It was the first Bound For Glory to not feature either the NWA World Heavyweight Championship or the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in the main event . Due to the time difference between the United States and Japan , the PPV will air on tape delay . Also Taz and Mike Tenay wont be there as they will do commentary from Nashville . A traditional four - sided ring was used for the event . Production . On June 25 before TNA " Impact Wrestling " tapings in New York City , TNA President Dixie Carter along with Wrestle - 1 founder / owner and Japanese wrestling legend The Great Muta held a press conference at the Manhattan Center to announce that the annual Bound for Glory pay - per - view will take place in Tokyo , Japan at Korakuen Hall . Also , Team 3D will be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame . Background . Bound for Glory featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre - existing scripted feuds and storylines . Wrestlers portrayed villains , heroes , or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches . Wrestlers competing for TNA were : Samoa Joe , Team 3D ( Bully Ray and Devon ) , MVP , James Storm , The Great Sanada , Ethan Carter III , Low Ki , Abyss , Manik . Originally , Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards were also announced for the event , but they were later replaced by Team 3D . Wrestlers competing for Wrestle - 1 were : The Great Muta , Tajiri , Kaz Hayashi , Ryota Hama , Kazma Sakamoto , Minoru Tanaka , Andy Wu , El Hijo del Pantera , Jiro Kuroshio and Yusuke Kodama . In June 2014 , Storm would begin a program where he would confront Sanada backstage , berate Sanada ' s mentor The Great Muta , while slapping him in the face as a way to break Sanada down , multiple weeks in a row . On the July 24th , 2014 edition of " Impact " , Storm would confront The Great Muta , calling him a fraud , and proclaim himself to be " The Legend " ( which in the following weeks replaced his longtime nickname of " The Cowboy " ) . After spitting beer in Muta ' s face , Sanada would run Storm out of the ring , before attacking Muta himself with a steel chair , and bowing to Storm , revealing an unknown alliance between them . The following week Storm would proclaim himself as Sanada ' s new mentor , and master . In the following weeks , TNA would air vignettes of Storm having a cult like hold over Sanada , portraying Storm having him tied up , breaking him down physically and mentally , and proclaiming that " The Revolution Is Coming " . On the August 27 " Impact Wrestling " , Sanada accompanied by Storm debuted the new ring name " The Great Sanada " and a look inspired by The Great Muta , before defeateding Austin Aries with help from Storm . This will culminate in a tag team match between The Great Sanada and his new mentor James Storm against The Great Muta and Tajiri . TNA announced that Samoa Joe and Havok would be defending their X Division and Knockouts Championships at the event . However , due to already taped episodes of " Impact Wrestling " set to air after the event , neither Joe or Havok were the actual champions at the time of Bound for Glory .
