“Monsters Ball Match At BFG Sponsored By The Theatrical Release, The Eye Of The Salamander
Matt Cardona Battles PCO With Two Championships On The Line In One Of The Most Barbaric Matches In TNA History
One of the most infamous matches in TNA Wrestling history returns at Bound For Glory, airing live Saturday night, October 26th on pay-per-view. The extreme hardcore Monsters Ball match is set, originating from the Wayne State University Fieldhouse in Detroit, with Matt Cardona challenging PCO – and both the Digital Media and International Wrestling Championships, currently held by PCO, are at stake.
This BFG Monsters Ball match is sponsored by the upcoming theatrical release, The Eye of the Salamander, TNA Wrestling confirmed.
A sci-fi thriller, The Eye of the Salamander will be released in select U.S. theatres in multiple markets starting November 1st. The Eye of the Salamander is a mind-bending adventure, a blend of comedy, sci-fi and suspense, directed by Pavel Nikolajev. This 81-minute cinematic journey follows Professor Hiscock, an unconventional hero, as he uncovers the dark secrets hidden within an ancient Aztec pyramid figurine. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of quantum teleportation, he must confront primal folklore fears and battle his sinister alter ego in the treacherous catacombs of an uncharted realm.
The cross-promotional sponsorship also will include social media elements, on-air broadcast mentions and on-site activations at BFG.
“I am thrilled to be partnering with TNA Wrestling and Bound For Glory in such a unique and exciting way,” said Pavel Nikolajev, director/writer of The Eye of the Salamander. “The TNA Wrestling fan base is some of the best in the world and to be sponsoring the Monsters Ball, which no doubt will be a brutal and engaging battle, is such an honor. Xolotl may be the monster in The Eye of the Salamander, but even he is scared to see what PCO and Matt Cardona will do in this match.”
This is Cardona’s first-ever Monsters Ball match and the fourth for PCO who has battled in the last three such matches in company history. PCO carries a perfect 3-0 record in Monsters Ball matches, with one-on-one wins over Kon and Jonah, and a victory at the 2023 Bound For Glory show over Steve Maclin, Rhino and Moose.
The BFG Monsters Ball match is the 59th in company history, dating back to late-2004 when Monty Brown scored the victory over Raven and Abyss, yet the Monsters Ball match ultimately was the signature match stipulation of Abyss, who appeared in
48 of the first 50 Monsters Ball matches in TNA history.
A Monsters Ball no disqualification match is one of the most barbaric, as all contenders are sequestered alone in a locked room without light, food or water for 24 hours before the match to induce extreme feelings of aggression. Weapons are, naturally, allowed, and encouraged.
The bad blood between Cardona and PCO stems from Cardona crashing the wedding of PCO and Steph De Lander. The BFG Monsters Ball match was confirmed by Director of Authority Santino Marella.
Tickets for Bound For Glory and the iMPACT! TV Taping show on Sunday, October 27, also at Wayne State University Fieldhouse in Detroit, are on-sale at Etix.com.”
And finally, Barry Horowitz’s autobiography, Wrestling Is My Gimmick: My Life on the Wrong Side of the Three-Count, will be released on October 18.
The book is co-written by Jason Norman and you can check out the official synopsis below:
“For someone whose career spanned nearly four decades, Barry Horowitz might have the lowest winning percentage in professional wrestling history. But there’s a reason why his name reached household levels among fans of the sport. Wrestlers who put on a deliberate losing performance (known as “jobbers”) provide the starting points for the game’s top names, and Horowitz was always there to help every new generation of talent rise to the next level. He took all the moves. He made them all look good. He absorbed every pin and submission. And then he came back to do it for someone else. From the local federations in Florida to years in the World Wrestling Federation, Horowitz helped launch the careers of wrestlers from Ric Flair to the Ultimate Warrior to Kane to Bill Goldberg, and everyone in between.
This book presents the life and career of Barry Horowitz. From his life outside the ring to his storied career in professional wrestling’s most unsung role, this biography hopes to shed light on why Horowitz was so committed to an industry who sometimes failed to return the favor. From Horowitz comes a tale of defining one’s own success and doing the best for the toughest of businesses–and about becoming a cornerstone in a part of pro wrestling that’s commonly underrated, but an integral part of the trade!”
