Bound for Glory 10.14.07 – Gauntlet for the Gold Match

With Bound for Glory taking place this Saturday, let’s look back at the very first Knockouts match ever at this event. This will be this week’s Free Match Friday.

The Bound for Glory event has been one of the biggest events for TNA/IMPACT Wrestling for the past 15-years. The first event took place in 2005, however, it wasn’t until 2007 when the Knockouts first had a match. This match would be to crown the first-ever Knockouts Champion.

In order to determine who would become the companies first champion for the women, 10 participants would battle it out in a Gauntlet for the Gold Match. The participants included the following, Ms. Brooks, Jackie Moore, Shelly Martinez, Awesome Kong, O.D.B. Angel Williams, Christy Hemme, Gail Kim, Talia Madison(Velvet Sky), and Roxxi Laveaux.

The match came down to a final four between O.D.B., Talia Madison, Gail Kim, and Roxxi Laveaux. Kim eliminated Madison in one corner while Laveaux eliminated O.D.B. in another corner mere seconds later. The bell would then ring for a final fight between Kim and Laveaux in a traditional one-on-one match.
