TORONTO and NASHVILLE – Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. subsidiary Impact Wrestling will stage its annual pay-per-view event Bound For Glory from Ottawa’s historic Aberdeen Pavilion on November 5, 2017.
Built in 1898 and located in Lansdowne Park, the 33,000-square foot Aberdeen Pavilion has been home to many significant events throughout the city’s history, including Stanley Cup challenge matches in 1904. The venue was designated a national historic site of Canada because it is the only surviving large-scale exhibition building from the 19th century in Canada.
Bound for Glory will feature world champion Eli Drake, former champion Alberto el Patron and Johnny Impact, the holder of the Mega, Latin American and world cruiserweight championship belts in Lucha Libre AAA, who will be making his inaugural Bound for Glory appearance.
The Aberdeen Pavilion will also play host to five days of Impact television tapings from November 6 to November 10.
“We are ecstatic and honored to bring our blockbuster event Bound for Glory to a Canadian venue rooted in cultural heritage and tradition,” said Impact Wrestling president Ed Nordholm, in the news release. “Our loyal Canadian viewers on Fight Network and GameTV have been vocal supporters of Impact Wrestling over the years and we thought the nation’s capital would be a fitting place to stage our biggest event of the year. Canadian professional wrestling crowds have a reputation for their energy and enthusiasm, so we are excited to bring them an unforgettable night of action.”
Impact Wrestling airs on Fight Network and GameTV in Canada and on Pop in the U.S.
