BOUND FOR GLORY WEEKEND: ATTEND AN EXCLUSIVE SCREENING OF KURT ANGLE’S NEW MOVIE

TNA Wrestling and Catch 22 Entertainment have teamed up to kick off “Bound for Glory 2010” weekend with an exclusive midnight screening to Kurt Angle‘s new movie “Beyond the Mat” Friday, October 8 at the R/C Ocean Walk 10 in Daytona, Florida.

Fans will have one exclusive chance to see “Beyond The Mat” before its national theatrical release scheduled for early 2011, with purchase of the TNA “Bound For Glory 2010” VIP Weekend Package. Only fans who have purchased the “Bound For Glory 2010” VIP Weekend Package will be granted admission to this screening.

Set against the backdrop of a high school varsity wrestling team, “Beyond the Mat” is the coming-of-age tale of Aaron Miller, whose friendship is put on the line when his best friend robs Aaron of his spot on the varsity wrestling team in order to stage a rematch with a cross-town rival. Aaron is torn between his loyalty to his friend and his commitment to his sport. Fueled by the desire to succeed and the need to prove himself, Aaron embarks on a journey of self-discovery.

Kurt Angle gives a punishing performance as Coach Kamen. Angle predicts the film, which he says portrays the sport with authenticity, will resonate with the wrestling community and introduce that world to a wider audience. What’s more, “it has a great story that goes beyond wrestling itself,” notes Angle.

The “Bound For Glory 2010 VIP Weekend Package” is $199 and available for purchase exclusively at www.ShopTNA.com. In addition to entrance into the “Beyond the Mat” screening, the VIP Weekend Package includes admission to “TNA Bound For Glory Fan InterAction,”where fans can meet over 40 TNA Superstars, as well as private, meet-and-greet and signing events with “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, “The Icon” Sting, and “The Charismatic Enigma” Jeff Hardy, as well as a special “Night Before The Glory Luau” on Saturday night, special gifts from TNA personality Don West and much, much more!

Ken Anderson was interviewed by Busted Open Radio & had this to say about Kurt:

Kurt Angle is a guy who… You know how much he’s done in this business, what he’s done and where he’s been, how much he’s done for this business. He’s in a position right now where he doesn’t really have to give anything back if he doesn’t want to, but that guy puts 110 percent in every single day that he comes to work. All of his matches, he wants them to be the best matches on the show.

We’re back from commercial, and Ken Anderson comes out and tells the assholes he loves it when they make noise. Yep, can’t argue with that: there’s nothing better than a noisy asshole. He asks Kurt Angle to join him in the ring, which of course he does. Anderson says it’s no big secret that he is what his t-shirt says, which by the way, can be purchase on shoptna.com. That’s not going to change at Bound For Glory, and the interesting thing they have in common is that they both don’t play politics and they don’t swing from the boss’ nuts. Well, Anderson admits that would technically be impossible in TNA, but the point is that he thinks Kurt is without a shadow of a doubt the best in the business, but at Bound For Glory, he plans to be better. Angle says he respects that and the fact that he’s saying this to Angle’s face like a man, and when he started in this business, he had the mindset that he wanted to be the best, and anything less would be failure. Here he is, ten years later, and he’s accomplished everything he’s set out to do. They’re going to have a problem at Bound For Glory, because he promised everyone that if he lost on his way to regaining the TNA World Title, he’d retire. But there’s something Anderson needs to understand: what Angle does in this ring is who he is, he’s sacrificed everything and many people don’t know where his drive and determination come from and that he’s some kind of freak, maybe he is and maybe he isn’t, but at Bound For Glory, he’s not going to lose because without wrestling, Kurt Angle doesn’t have anything. Angle extends his hand to Anderson and Anderson shakes it, then raises Kurt’s hand so everybody can applaud him…for the last time.
