Bound For Glory

Wade Needham's show introduction.

**Bound For Glory** is the second and final mega event of Season 2 of NoDQ CAW and the third mega event in the league's history. It hosts five matches, pitting five NoDQ CAW Superstars against five contemporary WWE Superstars. The event's theme tune was the classic *WrestleMania* theme. This is the only Bound For Glory event to have an additional stipulation: the matches would be fought as part of a best-of-five series to determine which was the superior wrestling promotion: WWE or NoDQ CAW.

## Trivia

* Spider-Man's bandaged injuries can be seen in the show's introduction, revealing plot details for eagle-eyed viewers on an initial watch.
* The mega event shares its name with a pay-per-view event promoted by TNA/Impact Wrestling. Initially, TNA decided they did not wish to use the name after it was pitched, so Aaron Rift elected to use it as a mega event name, though TNA ended up using it anyway. Interestingly, the mega event of Season 1, Impact shares its name with TNA's primary broadcast.
