Global Force Wrestling will officially announce the location of the annual Bound For Glory pay-per-view on Monday. However, the company issued a tweet that hinted that the event will be held in Canada. Bound For Glory will be held on Sunday, November 5.
Powell’s POV: We have been talking for weeks or even months in the Dot Net Weekly audio show about rumors that the company will move its home base from Nashville to the Toronto area. Nothing is official at this point, though obviously Monday’s announcement will be interesting.

Curious to see where this will be held. Assuming it’s the Toronto-area, not all of the venues are available:
– the Tribute Communities Centre in Oshawa (east of Toronto), where they held the 2008 No Surrender PPV, is booked for a junior hockey game that afternoon
– the Hershey Centre in Mississauga and the FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton (both west of Toronto) are also booked for junior hockey games that afternoon
– the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto is booked for two weeks for the Royal Winter Fair
– the Air Canada Centre in Toronto – the main venue in the area – appears to be open, but I’d have to believe that WWE has exclusivity there. And even if it didn’t, I can’t imagine them being able to paper enough seats – I mean, sell enough tickets – to not make it look horrible on the broadcast
That leaves two options that don’t appear to have something booked already:
– the Powerade Centre in Brampton (west of Toronto), which seats about 5,000
– the Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto, which seats about 3,000 and is where the NXT show was recently held. ROH has also run shows there, so I don’t believe there’s exclusivity
