The Year of Duke and Rogue - TNA Bound for Glory 2005
Plugged for months as TNA's Super Bowl, World Series, Final Four, and Stanley Cup all rolled into one, the first Bound for Glory does deliver some good action and is a candidate for show of the year, although the competition isn't very stiff (...ughh yeahh).
The show kicks off with Samoa Joe taking on Jushin Thunder Liger. Elsewhere we get a Four Way Monster's Ball Match, a hell of an Iron Man Match for the X Division title, and a three way Ultimate X match with a shot at the gold on the line.
Double J has regained the title since we left off, and he'll be facing somebody in the main event. The championship committee can't seem to make up their mind on a number one contender, but there will be a world title match. Listen along to hear how it all plays out....

The Year of Duke and Rogue - TNA Sacrifice 2005
In this episode the guys dive into TNA Sacrifice 2005.
No titles are on the line, so this one kind of just feels like another show, though there is some good action, including AJ Styles and Samoa Joe clashing for the X Division Cup and a title shot at the next PPV. Elsewhere, we get a battle of the big fellas as Lance Hoyt takes on the Monster Abyss, Jerry Lynn takes on Syxx Pac, and in the main event, we have Double J teaming with Rhino to take on NWA Heavyweight Champion Raven and the suicidal, homicidal, and genocial Sabu.

The Year of Duke and Rogue - TNA Destination X 2005
It's TNA Destination X 2005, and bullshit is everywhere on this card, with each contest featuring outside interference, incompetent officiating, and not one, but two guys in masks who arrive to save the day. This was a tough watch.
In the main event, Double J takes on DDP, effectively continuing their rivalry from the last year of WCW that we covered. This one is contested in a Ringside Revenge (not Lumberjack) Match.
Elsewhere, we have an the Ultimate X Challenge for the belt featuring three matches in one. We got Abyss taking on Jeff Hardy once again, as well as Raven and The Lone Star Dustin Rhodes.
Finally it appears as if the battle to become Dusty Rhodes' assistant will come to its conclusion as Trinity and Traci send their tag teams into action.
This one was bad, and we really hope that things turn around or else this might be quite the chore moving forward.
