TNA! TNA! TNA! A fast opener with Alex Shelley getting the victory, unsurprisingly, being the X Division Champion and all. Looking forward to him versus Sabin. Don't disrespect Magnus, Spud. Frickin' Spud. Abyss is a bitch. Taking down Norv Fernum and Dewey Barnes. What a tandem! HEY! SAMOA JOE! AGAIN! TAKE DOWN THAT IDIOT ABYSS, JOE! TAKE EM DOWN! BOO ABYSS! I miss the days of TNA when it was in it's best era with Joe at top. Bully Ray in Japan still? Jesus. Kurt Angle qualifying for the King of the Mountain is great, as it also allows Storm and Gunner to progress. Bad Influence is b-b-b-bad to the bone, man. Meh, Knockouts. Not much I care about with them, just like divas. Shame, because they all have some solid talent. Bad Influence topping The Wolves was solid, even if it was the BroMans or whatever they're called causing it. Finally, Austin Aries qualifying for the King of the Mountain over Samoa Joe was nice. I like how you avoided another interference leading to a qualification, was a slick move that allows Joe to just simply move on to inevitably facing Abyss at Slammiversary. A good edition of Impact, Jord. I've liked what you've done so far.
Oh, by the way. Fix that news post! It's all jumble-jungle loved up in here.

Following a video package highlighting Kurt Angle, Bobby Roode, Ethan Carter III and Austin Aries qualifying for the King of the Mountain match at Slammiversary over the past couple of weeks on Impact Wrestling, we go inside the Impact Zone as some pyro goes off at the top of the ramp. Taz is joined in the announcer's booth by Jeremy Borash, who is filling in for Mike Tenay as he is on assignment back in his hometown of Las Vegas. It's nice to see a new pairing calling all of the action and they both seem ready to get things on the road...
Ivelisse with Alyssa Flash defeats Gail Kim. The ladies of the ring are first to take to the squared circle tonight as Ivelisse, who is next in line for a shot at Madison Rayne's Knockouts title after pinning her cleanly on an episode of Impact Wrestling in the past. Despite Ivelisse being more ruthless in the ring than Gail, both Knockout's have very similar styles which blended well together for a great opening contest that the crowd were into. Ivelisse was able to pick up the 1-2-3 after Alyssa tripped up Gail, who was then caught off-guard with a wheelbarrow DDT from Ivelisse to wrap things up.
The Anti-Knockout's celebrate Ivelisse's victory before Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne appears at the top of the ramp. Ivelisse motions that she is coming for the title.
Ethan Carter III is in the back with Rockstar Spud and Carter seems livid about Magnus slapping Spud last week. Soon enough Magnus himself appears, putting his hands up and saying that he has come to apologise to Spud. Magnus then begins to try and work over Ethan, telling him that his aunt Dixie Carter would want nothing more than to see them co-exist as a unit in the King of the Mountain match at Slammiversary. He tells Ethan to have a think about it but if Ethan does work alongside him, he will be the first to get a shot at his title.
Commercial Break
A video package airs, hyping the return of Kenny King after a lengthy absence from TNA programming.
Back from the video package and James Storm is pacing the ring with a microphone. He demands that whoever's in the truck cut his music off. Storm blames Gunner for him losing to Kurt Angle last week and failing to qualify for the King of the Mountain match. He then calls out Gunner, telling him that he's going to beat him so bad that Gunner will be spending the night in an Orlando hospital and won't be facing Magnus in the main event as advertised. Without warning, Gunner comes sprinting down the ramp as Storm leaves the ring, the pair meeting at the bottom of the ramp where they exchange blows! The have an intense brawl around ringside with Storm initially having the upperhand, tossing Gunner into the steel steps. The pair continue the battle, with Gunner now on-top of Storm as he absolutely unloads on him with stiff right hand shots! Security flood out to ringside and yank Gunner off of Storm, giving the Cowboy time to scatter through the crowd and out of sight. Gunner breaks away from the security and sprints off through the crowd also, in hot pursuit of Storm!
Commercial Break
Out in the parking lot we see James Storm trying the doors of various cars, trying to see if any are unlocked. We hear someone shout and the camera turns around as we then see Gunner in the distance! Gunner comes charging towards Storm, who by now has found a car and is able to speed off out of the arena just as Gunner grabs ahold of the door handle! Gunner is left looking frustrated.
Samoa Joe defeats Ultimate Tiger. Going into this, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that this bout was only booked to give Joe a win, however, that didn't stop both men tearing the roof off the Impact Zone. Tiger is very underrated and tonight he showed the World exactly why he is one of the best high fliers in all of pro wrestling today. Despite almost picking up the upset win over Joe following a springboard tornado DDT, Joe was just able to kick out. Ultimate Tiger then ascended to the top rope for his Sabertooth Splash but Joe rolled out of harm's way before nailing the Muscle Buster for 3.
The official raises Joe's hand before he asks for a microphone from Christy Hemme. Joe announces that he went to Jeff Jarrett's office earlier and him vs. Abyss is official for Slammiversary!
In the back, Abyss and Magnus are watching Samoa Joe celebrate his victory on a monitor. Magnus chuckles, telling Abyss that Joe doesn't know what he just got himself into. Abyss rubs his hands together before Magnus talks about how Ethan Carter III bought his story earlier and that he was like putty in Magnus' hands. Magnus says that it was easier than he thought. The pair begin to laugh as the camera pans out, revealing Rockstar Spud listening in on the pair!
Commercial Break
Ahead of their 3-on-2 match against The Wolves for the TNA World Tag Team Championships, The BroMans--DJ Z, Robbie E. and Jessie Godderz--are backstage at the interview area with Jeremy Borash. The trio are confident that they will reclaim what is rightfully theirs and leave Orlando tonight in their 2nd reign as the TNA World Tag Team Champions.
We are once again shown a video of Bully Ray in Japan. This time, Bully has ringside seats to a recent WRESTLE-1 show where The Great Muta is in tag action with TAJIRI against René Duprée and Kazma Sakamoto. After Muta and TAJIRI's victory, Bully hops the guardrail and slides into the ring, blindsiding Muta! The pair are split up but not before Muta lays out TAJIRI with a big boot. Bully then invited Muta to Slammiversary, live on pay-per-view on June 15 in Dallas-Fort Worth. The footage truly was great to see as the Japanese fans reacted as if Bully and Muta were legit fighting.
World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves defeat The BroMans in a Handicap match to retain. After months of DJ Z constantly interfering on Jessie and Robbie's behalf, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards had finally had enough and challenged The BroMans to a 3-on-2 match with the TNA World Tag Team Championships on the line. This was a solid bout that saw The BroMans utilize their number's advantage to staying in control in the early going of the bout, however, The Wolves are the tag champs for a reason and they showed exactly why as they were able to pick up the win despite the odds being stacked against them when they were able to hit the Force of Nature on Robbie!
Davey and Eddie are handed their titles by the official before they raise them high as Robbie rolls out of the ring where he is then helped to the back by DJ Z and Jessie.
Commercial Break
Following their successful title defence, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards walk through the curtain to the backstage area when they are approached by Bad Influence, Kazarian and Christopher Daniels. The pair congratulate The Wolves on their victory, however, they can't bare to listen to them claim to be the best tag team in the World as that title goes to Bad Influence. Edwards tells Daniels that their victory last week was thanks to The BroMans distraction, however, as they're fighting champs all Bad Influence have to do is name the time and the place for a rematch!
Chris Sabin defeats X-Division Champion, Alex Shelley in a non-title match. These two couldn't even wait for the bell to ring before fighting as Sabin attacked Shelley as he was about to take his entrance gear off, leaving the referee no choice but to ring the bell early. Sabin was determined to leave here tonight with a victory, pulling all of the dirty tricks out of the book, doing whatever it took to leave here tonight with a victory. Shelley wouldn't stay down, battling back with all he had but after Sabin used the ref as a shield, he quickly rolled Shelley up and grabbed a handful of tights for the win!
Sabin doesn't hang around for Shelley to get retribution as he quickly bails from the ring and heading up the ramp, only stopping once at the top to point back down at the ring and laugh at Alex Shelley who by now is trying to explain to the official that Sabin had a handful of tights! We cut to a commercial with Sabin doing a jig at the top of the ramp.
Commercial Break
World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus with Abyss defeats Gunner in a non-title match. Despite Magnus and Gunner already main eventing an episode of Impact Wrestling earlier this year, the pair once again showed exactly why they are easily two of TNA's brightest prospects and that the future of the company is in safe hands. They battled back and forth, neither men remaining in control for long. When Abyss attempted to interfere, his rival Samoa Joe stormed to ringside and the pair battled off through the crowd and out of sight, leaving Magnus and Gunner to go at it in a fair bout. In the end it would be Magnus leaving here victorious after he was able to connect with his diving elbow drop!
The champ doesn't celebrate his win for long as he takes a microphone from ringside and begins to rundown his challengers at Slammiversary. Before long, 3 of the 4 challengers in Austin Aries, Bobby Roode and Kurt Angle individually make their way to ringside. The trio circle Magnus, realising that they all have a common enemy in him. But before they are able to do anything, Ethan Carter III slides into the ring with a steel chair as Magnus looks ecstatic at Carter coming to his aid. EC3 suddenly drops the chair and clutches his knee, faking a knee injury as he rolls to the floor, leaving Kurt, Aries and Roode to go after the champ! The show comes to a close with Kurt and Magnus fighting on the mat and Aries and Bobby exchanging shots as EC3 continues to play up to his "knee injury"!

ORLANDO, Fla. — With the road to Slammiversary well and truly underway, tensions are reaching a boiling point in Impact Wrestling. Taz was once again joined by Jeremy Borash at the commentator's table as Mike Tenay continues to be on assignment back in his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. The pair are looking forward to calling another edition, so without any further ado...
TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus is first out and he is, as usual, flanked by his insurance policy Abyss. The champ doesn't look in the best of moods as once he has a microphone in-hand, he orders the crowd to shut up! After their booing dies down, Magnus talks about how last week he was double crossed by Ethan Carter III. He says that he thought Ethan would have known better than not to cross him. Magnus doesn't get to go on much longer as Ethan Carter III himself saunters down the ramp, continuing to play up on his "knee injury" as he is on crutches. Beside him is Rockstar Spud who is carrying a red medical kit bag. Carter tells Magnus that he thought long and hard about Magnus' proposal and he was going to help him out against Kurt Angle, Austin Aries and Bobby Roode but he can't help the fact his knee blew out. Magnus seems to buy the story as before we know it, the pair are embracing in the ring about working together in the King of the Mountain match. The pair raise their hands as the crowd boo before Jeff Jarrett ruins the party as he appears on the big screen from his office backstage. Jarrett sarcastically wishes Carter a speedy recovery--because if he isn't any better by next week, he will remove him from the King of the Mountain match and find a suitable replacement. Carter and Magnus both freak out, realising that this could blow their plan. Jarrett books a 6-man tag match for next week: Samoa Joe and the TNA World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves versus Abyss, Ethan Carter III and TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus!
Commercial Break
Bad Influence defeat Eric Young and Manik. After proclaiming to the TNA World Tag Team Champions The Wolves last week that they are the true greatest tag team in all of professional wrestling, Bad Influence showed the the World here tonight against EY and Manik that they truly are up there with the best of them. Despite being a makeshift duo, Young and Manik worked well together and had the crowd firmly behind them. Unfortunately, it wasn't their night as Daniels and Kazarian notched up another win after hitting Young with the Bad Elimination.
Post-match, the TNA World Tag Team Champions themselves in Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards made an appearance at ringside to find out if Bad Influence had decided on a time and a place to fight them in the ring. Kazarian announced that they will see them in Dallas-Fort Worth on June 15 at Slammiversary!
Gunner is shown looking for his Dad in the backstage area. He comes across Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky, but they haven't seen his Dad anywhere. Gunner continues on, looking for him.
Commercial Break
A video package airs, hyping the return of Kenny King after a lengthy absence from TNA programming.
In his office backstage is Jeff Jarrett, who is sitting at his desk when X-Division Champion, Alex Shelley enters the room. Shelley says that last week Chris Sabin may have beaten him--but it wasn't without Sabin cheating and grabbing a handful of tights. Shelley wants Sabin at Slammiversary. Jarrett makes the match official before Shelley thanks him and heads off.
Ultimate Tiger defeats DJ Z. Ultimate Tiger hasn't had the best of luck lately, failing to pick up a victory since the April 17th episode of Impact Wrestling as he has gotten lost in the shuffle. Thankfully tonight Tiger was able to get himself back on the winning path, getting a win over 1/3 of The BroMans in DJ Z after hitting a picture perfect Sabertooth Splash.
As Ultimate Tiger celebrates his win on the turnbuckle, we cut to Bobby Roode and Austin Aries talking in the back. Roode tells Aries that he doesn't like him but all that matters is that they are able to co-exist as a team tonight for the victory. Aries agrees before Roode tells him that after they win tonight, there's nothing stopping him from winning the King of the Mountain match at Slammiversary.
Commercial Break
The music of "Cowboy" James Storm hits and he comes down the ramp, dragging an old man alongside him as Taz and Borash both wonder who the guy is. Once they are in the ring, Storm introduces us to Gunner's dad--Rick Lail! Storm sarcastically tells Gunner that he found his dad as the crowd shower him with boos! Without a second longer, Gunner comes pacing down the ramp. Storm tells Gunner to back off, grabbing his dad and promising Gunner that if he even so much as takes one more step he will beat his dad from corner to corner in the Impact Zone. Gunner doesn't care, sliding into the ring and tackling Storm to the mat! The pair roll around the ring, ending up spilling out the ringside area. Gunner gets the upperhand, leaving Storm and turning his attention to his dad. Storm then out of nowhere smashes a beer bottle over the head of Gunner, who collapses to the floor! Storm removes a pair of handcuffs from his jeans and locking Gunner to the guardrail! Storm then rolls Gunner's dad back into the ring before he yells for a referee to come down to the ring. Eventually, an official comes to the ring but initially refuses to call the bell. After being cornered, the ref is left no choice...
James Storm defeats Gunner's Dad in a No Disqualifications match. In what shouldn't even be classed as a match, James Storm ordered the referee into calling for the bell to start this one off as Gunner was handcuffed to the guardrail, forcing him to watch as Storm beat the holy hell out of his poor, defenceless father inside the ring. After toying around with him, Storm rolled to the floor where he got another beer bottle. As Gunner's Dad used the ropes to pull himself back onto his feet, Storm blasted him over the back of the head with the bottle before covering as the ref reluctantly counted 3.
Storm takes his time celebrating in the ring, continuing to taunt Gunner as we see him trying his hardest to break the handcuffs from the guardrail and get to his Dad. Storm casually exits the ring, putting his cowboy hat back on and heading to the ramp as Gunner continues to try break free.
Commercial Break
Abyss defeats Hernandez. The crowd seem delighted at Hernandez returning to action here tonight--unfortunately for them, his opponent is Abyss, who is currently on a warpath ahead of his match with Samoa Joe at Slammiversary. Hernandez put up a fight but it wasn't enough to topple Abyss, who looked impressive out there as he dominated, putting Hernandez away with the Black Hole Slam.
Not satisfied with just a win, Abyss exits the ring and begins to look under the ring. He doesn't find what he's looking for initially but after trying another side, Abyss pulls out his signature weapon Janice as the crowd let out a mixed reaction. Abyss raises Janice into the air before sliding back into the ring where he now begins to size up Hernandez. Before Abyss is able to use Janice, Samoa Joe hits the ring! Joe goes after Abyss, who swings Janice but Joe ducks it before laying into Abyss with punches. A dazed Abyss now drops Janice before Joe runs at him but he runs right into a Black Hole Slam out of nowhere! Abyss is left standing tall over Joe as we cut to a commercial and the crowd in attendance aren't best pleased.
Commercial Break
Backstage Ethan Carter III is shown sitting down in his locker room, "resting" his injured knee when Kurt Angle barges in. Rockstar Spud tells Kurt that he can't just come barging in here but he tells Spud to shut up. Kurt goes over to EC3, telling him that he doesn't like him but Jeff Jarrett has put them together in this team match and he wants Ethan to know that he doesn't need his help to win.
Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne with Velvet Sky defeats Alyssa Flash with Ivelisse in a non-title match. With the news coming out of Jeff Jarrett's office that Ivelisse will challenge Rayne for the Knockouts gold next week on Impact Wrestling, the champ had a warm-up of sorts against Ivelisse's partner in crime, Alyssa Flash. Despite Flash having the size and strength advantage over Madison, she is the champion for a reason and she was able to pick up the win with a Spear!
As she celebrates with her Beautiful People teammate, Madison goads Ivelisse into coming into the ring but instead she and Flash back up the ramp as she tells Rayne to shine the title up for her.
Commercial Break
Austin Aries and Bobby Roode defeat Kurt Angle and Ethan Carter III with Rockstar Spud. Blockbuster tag team main event here pitting the 4 challengers to Magnus' TNA World Heavyweight Championship come Slammiversary on June 15 in the King of the Mountain match. Both teams have a history, with Carter and Kurt having a storied feud over the past few months and Aries and Roode former TNA World Tag Team Champions turned enemies. There were clear communication errors on both sides throughout. EC3 continued to play up on his injured knee, refusing to be tagged into the match and even going as far as getting off the apron anytime Kurt looked like he needed a tag. As Aries climbed to the top for his 450 Splash, Roode tagged himself in unbeknownst to Aries. After Austin hit the 450 Splash, the referee wouldn't count his pin attempt as he wasn't the legal man. Roode entered the ring, shoving Aries out of the way and hooking Angle's leg to pick up the win for his team!
Post-match, Roode and Aries go toe-to-toe because of Roode tagging himself in and stealing the win for their team. Roode ends up blowing Aries off, leaving the ring and going to the back. Back in the ring, the drama hasn't stopped as we see Kurt and Ethan now arguing with Kurt blaming Ethan for not tagging in once throughout the match. Eventually, Kurt has heard enough and he headbutts Carter who drops the mat! Rockstar Spud comes to Mr. Carter's aid, shoving his finger in Kurt's face but he ends up getting an Olympic Slam for his troubles! This week's edition of Impact Wrestling fades to black with EC3 sitting on the floor outside of the ring with a bloodied nose as Angle stands tall whilst the crowd cheer.

Okay, so I still dig the layout and I love the addition of the video clip like screenshot at the top. Onto the actual show though, Cool opening segment and I loved Rockstar Spud having the medical kit. Six man tag sounds sweet. Bad Influence winning is always a good thing, I love them. Their match with the Wolves should steal the show. KENNY KING! Big fan of his. Alex Shelley vs. Chris Sabin? Slammiversary should be outstanding. Don't actually know who Ultimate Tiger is. The James Storm-Gunner stuff seems like it's been going on for a long time. Once Gunner couldn't find his dad, I kind of expected this. Sick to have a No DQ match against him. I like the re-push of Abyss, but I hope he falls to Samoa Joe. Ivelisse challenging Madison Rayne at Slammiversary will be fine, but give me Alissa Flash as Champion and do so soon. Oh, the six man tag is next week. Duh. Good tag match, glad that Austin Aries and Bobby Roode won, love them together. Kurt Angle standing tall is fine but I really hope he doesn't win the belt. Slammiversary is shaping up to be a badass show.

Alright, Impact! A red medical kit from Spud, eh? I bet he is a great doctor for EC3. He probably does wonders. Nice ultimateum from Double J towards EC3. Yeah, lets see you be hurt next week you punk bitch! Solid opening contest with Bad Influence beating Eric Young and Manik. I'm really looking forward to them versus Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards at Slammiversary. Should be grand. Hey, is Kenny King! Meh. Don't care or know enough about him too much. Alex Shelley versus Chris Sabin! Damn, Slammiversary is shaping up to be huge. Ultimate Tiger beating DJ Z. Good. Screw DJ Z. I hate him. Hahaha, Gunner's Dad got his ass beat by James Storm! I like the personal addition to the feud. It's strange, but, works. Abyss beating Hernandez comes as no surprise, based off his feud with Samoa Joe. He needs all he can get at the moment. Kurt Angle, you can't barge right in there! What if Ethan was nekked!? Meh, Knockouts. Madison Rayne winning wasf or the best, especially with Velvet Sky being at ringside. You know, cause Velvet is hot. Anyway, main event time. Austin Aries and Bobby Roode getting the win was for the best. However, I'm a bit confused about what is going on with EC3. He was supposed to have until next week to be healthy! Oh well, anyway. Kurt Angle standing tall was fine but I hope he doesn't win the belt at Slammiversary. I'd rather one of the young guys do it. Anyway, a good episode of Impact per usual.

ORLANDO, Fla. — On another action-packed edition of Impact Wrestling, a new champion was crowned whilst another championship belt was stolen. Tension between Magnus and Ethan Carter III cost them a 6-man tag match, whilst 4 unsigned talents got the opportunity of a lifetime! Mike Tenay returned this week and he, along with Taz, were on-hand to call all of the action as it happened...
X-Division Champion, Alex Shelley defeats Manik and Robbie E. in a non-title match. The show gets off to a flying start as the X-Division take centre stage. Manik and 1/3 of The BroMans in Robbie E. entertain the crowd initially with some comedic spots before the current reigning X-Division Champion, Alex Shelley takes them both down with a missile dropkick. As the action roared on, the challenger to Shelley's title come Slammiversary, Chris Sabin, made an appearance at ringside to keep an eye on the match. Shelley picked up the win with the Automatic Midnight.
Before Christy Hemme is able to pass Shelley's X-Division title to him, Chris Sabin snatches it from her hands and sprints up the ramp and out of sight as Shelley gives chase!
Commercial Break
Director of Wrestling Operations and TNA founder Jeff Jarrett is in the middle of the ring once we come back. Jarrett talks about how in just a few weeks from now, TNA will kick off the 4th annual Bound for Glory Series! Jarrett says that 12 men will compete in a round-robin tournament to determine who will get a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in October at Bound for Glory on pay-per-view. He goes on to say that as there are so many amazing, unsigned guys working the independent scene currently, he has brought 4 of them here to Impact Wrestling tonight in a showcase of sorts before they compete in a series of matches, with only 2 of them advancing to Slammiversary in Dallas-Fort Worth to determine who will earn a spot in the BFG Series, joining 11 other Impact Wrestling stars! The first team, made up of Uhaa Nation and Ricochet come out before their opponents Ace Barreta and Brian Cage are out next.
Uhaa Nation and Ricochet defeat Brian Cage and Ace Barreta. With all 4 of these guys looking to make an impact here tonight, proving to Jeff Jarrett that they have what it takes to be the next Impact Wrestling superstar, there was alot on the line. Fast-paced action from the moment that the bell rang, with everyone getting their chance to shine as they were given a decent amount of time for this one. Ricochet picked up the win here after pinning Barreta following a 630° senton, which the crowd popped big for, from the top rope!
Post-match, the official raises Ricochet's hand before his own partner, Uhaa Nation, attacks him and hits a Tombstone piledriver! Taz hypes Uhaa vs. Barreta for next week to determine who will move on to Slammiversary before Cage and Ricochet meet in 2 weeks time to determine who will then face either Ace Barreta or Uhaa Nation.
Ethan Carter III is backstage, once again on crutches as he continues to play up on his "injured" leg. He is complaining to Rockstar Spud about Kurt Angle attacking him last week. Spud begins to get riled up, telling Ethan that he has a plan regarding Mr. Angle. Before Spud can divulge, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Magnus appears alongside his insurance policy Abyss! Magnus tells Ethan that he doesn't buy the whole injured leg shtick, but when it comes to their 6-man tag match later tonight, Ethan should do what he knows best--stay on the apron and let the big boys, himself and Abyss, handle Samoa Joe and The Wolves accordingly!
Commercial Break
Back from the commercial, Mike Tenay is in the ring. He announces to the crowd that after James Storm's heinous attack on Gunner's dad last week here on Impact Wrestling, Gunner's dad required medical attention and so Gunner has been back home in Georgia by his dad's side. On the big screen, we see Gunner sitting at home as Tenay thanks him for taking time out to speak to not only him--but the Impact Wrestling fans, who have been eager for an update on his dad's condition. Gunner says that his dad, thankfully, is doing fine now. He tells Tenay that James Storm took their feud to a whole new level last week by attacking his dad and he can't wait to get back to Orlando to beat the holy hell out of him! Tenay asks when we can expect to see Gunner back in the Impact Zone but before he can reply, James Storm himself comes sauntering out from the back with a microphone yelling "blah, blah, blah" into it. Storm looks up the big screen, waving at Gunner, telling him to send his dad his best wishes before he laughs. Gunner begins to get riled up but he tells Storm that he's glad to see him as he wanted to be the first to tell him... Gunner is not long off the phone with Jeff Jarrett, who signed off on a match between them at Slammiversary! The crowd pop before Gunner tells Storm that that's not all--but since Slammiversary will be in Dallas, their match will be a Texas Deathmatch! Storm actually seems delighted at the news, telling Gunner that he will see him then! Gunner re-assures Storm that he will be seeing him much sooner than that before the feed cuts off...
Commercial Break
James Storm defeats Austin Aries. Stellar first hour main event here as both Storm and Aries put on a clinic tonight. Both guys exchanged control, pulling out all of the stops here in order to leave with a victory ahead of their respective bouts come Slammiversary. Storm's underhanded tactics looked like they were paying off, allowing him to set Aries up for the Eye of the Storm but he was able to escape out of it and knock Storm out with a vicious discus forearm! Aries covered but an appearance from arch rival Bobby Roode at ringside distracted both the referee and Aries, allowing Storm time to get back to his feet before nailing an unsuspecting Austin Aries with the Last Call superkick for the win!
Roode is delighted at costing Aries the win here as he slides into the ring, standing above a downed Austin Aries as James Storm heads to the back.
Commercial Break
The Beautiful People, Knockouts Champion Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky, are talking in the back ahead of Madison's title defence against Ivelisse tonight when suddenly Alyssa Flash and Ivelisse come out of nowhere, blindsiding the pair! Flash and Ivelisse stomp away at the pair before Ivelisse launches Madison into a nearby wall. The champ is left holding her arm as The Anti-Knockout's leave!
Rockstar Spud comes marching to the ring in one of his usual OTT suits. He calls out Kurt Angle, who eventually comes to the ring. Spud warns Kurt that he had no right to not only headbutt Ethan Carter III last week and he is out here to warn him never to do such a thing ever happen. Kurt laughs, telling Spud that it's funny he called him out here as he's not long back from Jeff Jarrett's office and he made a match between the pair official... for right now! Kurt floors Spud before the referee calls for the bell!
Kurt Angle defeats Rockstar Spud. This wasn't much of a match as it was entirely one sided with Kurt beating the living hell out of Spud throughout! Spud's punches had little to no effect on Kurt who was more than riled up here, eventually ending the one sided beatdown when he hit Spud with an Olympic Slam before locking him in an Ankle Lock, forcing him to submit!
Angle has his hand raised before motioning into the camera that he is coming for the World Heavyweight Championship in the King of the Mountain match at Slammiversary!
Commercial Break
A video package airs, hyping the return of Kenny King after a lengthy absence from TNA programming.
Ivelisse with Alyssa Flash defeats Madison Rayne with Velvet Sky to win the Knockouts Championship. After being attacked backstage earlier, Madison clearly wasn't at 100% here as she favoured her arm throughout but that didn't stop her from putting up one hell of a fight! Ivelisse continued to target Rayne's arm in whatever way she possibly could. Despite a valiant effort from Rayne, Ivelisse was able to sync in a cross armbreaker in the middle of the ring, leaving Madison no choice but to tap out!
The Anti-Knockout's celebrate together with the title as Rayne continues to clutch her arm in pain. Taz and Mike Tenay are both shocked at Ivelisse winning the title here tonight, claiming that they think the outcome of this match may have been different had it not been for Flash and Ivelisse's attack on The Beautiful People earlier tonight in the back.
Commercial Break
Samoa Joe and World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves defeat World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus, Ethan Carter III and Abyss. Blockbuster main event to bring another episode of Impact Wrestling to a close as Samoa Joe teamed with the TNA World Tag Team Champions in Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards to challenge Magnus, Abyss and an unable EC3. Carter, like last week, spent the entire match on the sidelines, continuing to play up on his injured leg, leaving Magnus and Abyss to do all of the work and surprisingly they did do alot of work, dominating Davey Richards and isolating him from tagging in Joe or Eddie. Eventually, after countering Abyss' powerbomb attempt, Davey was able to take him off his feet with a dropkick to the knees before tagging in Joe, who came in and unloaded on the man who cost him his match with Magnus for the World Heavyweight title back at Lockdown! The finish of the match came when EC3 appeared in the ring with his crutch, sizing up Edwards as Magnus directed traffic. Instead, Carter surprised everyone when he levelled Abyss with the crutch before then knocking Magnus off the apron with a shot also!! The crowd popped as Ethan does a jig, highlighting that his injured leg is indeed fine, leaving Eddie to pin Abyss but not after Joe hit a running senton and both Davey and Eddie hit diving double footstomps!
The Wolves celebrate their victory alongside Joe as Magnus goes berserk at ringside, yelling that Ethan Carter III will pay! Taz notes that now Magnus has zero allies heading into the King of the Mountain match as before tonight EC3 and Magnus had some form of working relationship that Magnus had made it clear he planned on using come Slammiversary! The show fades to black as Magnus continues to flip out whilst we see Joe, Davey and Eddie continue to celebrate inside the ring...

The video square graphic is smart, one of my favourite touches in any diary.
Not sure if I like the first paragraph where you share some spoilers for a lack of a better word.
On to the show, Sabin and Shelley continues to heat up well. Sabin taking the title is true to his character. Overall this has been built well, feels like it will continue post PPV.
The show told a good story of how it's every man for themselves in the PPV Main Event. Roode for me came over to heelish but I also realise I'm contradicting myself there because I think I've also complained previously about Roode being too nice.
ECIII/Magnus was book well throughout the show.
Leaning towards Magnus retaining leading to a Magnus v Roode/Aries at BFG, if that's the case the match needs a bit of work behind it.
Overall this is coming along well and it's now clearly starting to become your own. Good show and PPV is been built extremely well!
Forgot - great touch bringing in Uhaa Ace, Cage and Riochet! Hire them all
I do have a new show up but due to the activity on here later it's already found it's self down the page. Check it out your feedback is always appreciated

Here we go with some TNAction. Good opening contest, with the obvious victory for X Division Champion Alex Shelley going in to his match against Chris Sabin at Slammiversary in a few weeks. Uhaa Nation, Richochet, Brian Cage and Ace Barreta? Some excellent names involved out of the four, would love to see Uhaa or Ricochet get the chance out of the group. EC3 is a punk bitch. Ah, James Storm is probably drunk! Rambling on and on about how he beat up an old man. Gunner is gunnin', though. Should be interesting when they finally get their hands on each other. A match between Storm and Austin Aries would be big. Bobby Roode costing Aries the match was fine, as it keeps him from being too hurt and Storm unblemished. HEY! FLASH AND IVELISSE! YOU WHORES! DON'T BE PULLING STUNTS LIKE THAT ON THE BEAUTFUL PEOPLE! ESPECIALLY VELVET! lol Spud. Nice try, bud Spud. Gotcha ass whooped by Kurt Angle for that! Whoa! New Knockouts Champion! Well, maybe if those whores didn't attack The Beautiful People earlier on they wouldn't have got the belt on their side. Bitches. Bitches, bitches! Finally, a big main event with a good victory for Samoa Joe and The Wolves. Magnus is pisssseddd. A good edition of Impact, looking forward to Slammiversary still with that big card.

ORLANDO, Fla. — We open up this weeks show not with an introduction from Mike Tenay and Taz, but instead with Abyss and the TNA World Heavyweight Champion Magnus coming storming down the ring and neither look happy! The champ wastes no time in calling out Ethan Carter III, demanding that he come out here and explain him man to man why he turned on him last week. Ask and you shall receive Magnus as within seconds, EC3 himself saunters out looking like the cat that got the cream as he is, as always, flanked by Rockstar Spud. Once in the ring, Carter chuckles before explaining to Magnus that he is a Carter and not only does the World need them--but TNA Wrestling needs him as the champion and poster boy of the company, not someone like Magnus! Before Carter can go on much longer, Magnus calls him a little bitch and tells him that Ethan turning on him and Abyss last week not only severed their "business relationship" but Ethan also signed his own death warrant! Magnus slaps him before EC3 tackles him the mat, the pair rolling around on the mat, exchanging shots before Spud punches Abyss on the back to no effect before he comically jumps on his back! An official sprints to ringside, calling for Christy Hemme to ring the bell and it appears that we have an impromptu tag match on our hands here...
Abyss and TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus defeat Ethan Carter III and Rockstar Spud. Carter and Magnus were the 2 legal men to start this one off, both guys absolutely beating the living daylights out of each other! Eventually, Spud gets fired up and asks to be tagged in but from there on out, the match is all Magnus and Abyss as the pair tear Spud apart. The crowd found it difficult who to cheer for as all 4 guys are heels, however, there were some cheers for Rockstar Spud, who's comedic character appears to be getting over. When Spud began to fight back against Abyss, he was stopped in his tracks when Magnus entered the ring and took him down with a clothesline! EC3 had seen enough, spearing Magnus as the pair then rolled out the floor leaving Abyss to finish off Spud, who is less than half his size (both height and weight) with a vicious looking Shock Treatment.
EC3 and Magnus continue to fight, ending up making their way out of sight as Abyss is left in the ring whilst the official checks on a downed Spud. The music of Samoa Joe hits and the Samoan comes charging to the ring but Abyss bails from the ring, heading to the back as Joe points at him before motioning a throat slash to Abyss as we cut to the first commercial of the night.
Commercial Break
Backstage at the interview area is the new Knockouts Champion, Ivelisse who has her buddy Alyssa Flash by her side. Jeremy Borash congratulates Ivelisse on her win last week, even if she had an advantage over Madison Rayne after Ivelisse and Alyssa's pre-match attack in the back. Flash and Ivelisse are outraged, telling J.B. that he needs to learn some manners and realise that Ivelisse is better than Madison in every shape and form! Chris Sabin enters the scene with the X-Division title despite not being the champion. Borash asks Sabin why he stole the X-Division title belt from Alex Shelley last week. Sabin claims that the title is rightfully his and that Shelley won't ever get it back. Sabin puts his arms around Flash and Ivelisse ahead of their mixed tag match later but they brush him off.
World Tag Team Champion, Eddie Edwards with World Tag Team Champion, Davey Richards defeat Christopher Daniels with Kazarian. Pretty solid singles match here between Daniels and Eddie Edwards, with Daniels looking to get some momentum for himself and Kazarian heading into Slammiversary where they will challenge The Wolves for the straps. Despite a valiant effort, Edwards was able to pick up the win after Daniels mised the B.M.E and Eddie quickly followed it up with a cross-legged sitout scoop slam piledriver!
Kazarian attends to Daniels on the floor as Davey and Eddie celebrate inside the ring with their tag titles. Kazarian looks on irate at the pair.
The camera is focused on the boots of an individual. It pans up to reveal Uhaa Nation, who looks fired up ahead of his bout against Ace Barreta where the winner will move on to Slammiversary to face either Brian Cage or Ricochet to determine who will then earn a spot in the Bound for Glory Series. Uhaa roars into the camera that it is his time!
Commercial Break
Chris Sabin and Knockouts Champion, Ivelisse with Alyssa Flash defeat X-Division Champion, Alex Shelley and Velvet Sky. With her Beautiful People teammate Madison Rayne sidelined after Ivelisse and Alyssa's attack last week, Velvet looked to get some retribution for her BFF tonight in this mixed tag match. Velvet wasn't the only one out tonight for retribution as Alex Shelley looked to send a message to former friend Chris Sabin, who is still in possession of Shelley's X-Division title belt after stealing it last week. Fun mixed tag match here with all 4 putting on an entertaining bout that was thoroughly enjoyable. Ivelisse played up being disgusted at Sabin trying to hit on her at times but that didn't stop her picking up the win for her team following a sunset flip powerbomb on Velvet.
Before the official is able to hand Sabin his title belt, Sabin is quick to run inbetween them and snatch the title, sprinting to the back and making off with the title once again!
Bobby Roode is in the back when the cameraman asks him why he cost Austin Aries his match against James Storm last week. Bobby talks about how he is sick of Austin Aries thinking he is the best in the World when nobody is better than the It Factor, Bobby Roode. The cameraman then asks Bobby for his thoughts on why Austin Aries isn't in attendance tonight. Bobby calls him a coward.
Commercial Break
A video package airs, hyping the return of "The King of the Night" Kenny King after a lengthy absence from TNA programming.
In a pre-taped segment from earlier in the night, Ace Barreta is shown taping up his wrists ahead of his match later against Uhaa Nation. Barreta talks about how Uhaa is physically bigger than him but he himself can get the job done and tonight he isn't going to let this shot of a lifetime just slip away without one hell of a fight!
Gunner defeats DJ Z with Robbie E. and Jessie Godderz. In his return to Impact Wrestling following James Storm viciously attacking his father 2 weeks ago, Gunner was on a mission tonight and he was relentless out there. Unfortunately for 1/3 of The BroMans in DJ Z, he was the unlucky guy standing in Gunner's way. Z wasn't given even a moment to breathe as Gunner tossed him around the ring like a ragdoll, eventually wrapping things up after turning him inside out with a lariat before then hitting an F5 for the 1-2-3.
Post-match, Robbie and Jessie don't bother even getting into the ring to try and gain some retribution for DJ Z's loss as they instead assist a dazed Z to the back. Gunner takes a microphone from ringside and calls out James Storm to come out here and face him. Storm eventually appears but he doesn't get into the ring, instead standing at the bottom of the rope and trash talking Gunner from outside. He has eventually heard enough and bails from the ring, going after Storm and the pair clash on the ramp! The crowd explode as both men go at it, until as usual, security spill out from all directions and split the pair up. The crowd chant for security to let them fight. Gunner is able to escape, chasing after Storm and knocking him down with a right hand! Eventually, the security guards are once again able to separate the pair when Director of Wrestling Operations, Jeff Jarrett appears at the top of the ramp. Jarrett announces that he realises how personal this feud has gotten and that despite their match at Slammiversary set to be a Texas Deathmatch--he needs someone more than an Impact Wrestling official to call the action. He needs someone who will be able to keep on top of, what he expects, will be one of the most brutal matches in company history. That is why, come Slammiversary, Bellator's RAMPAGE JACKSON will return to TNA and act as the Special Guest Enforcer! The crowd go ballistic.
Commercial Break
A fired-up Ethan Carter III is shown knocking things over in the back out of frustration when Jeremy Borash catches up with him for a word. Ethan tells Jeremy that the odds are stacked against Magnus and now he has noone on his side heading into the King of the Mountain match. No alliances--it's every man for themselves. Carter promises to be the one to leave Texas with the title belt.
Uhaa Nation defeats Ace Barreta to advance to Slammiversary for a BFG Series Qualifier. After an impressive showing in last week's tag match featuring themselves plus Ricochet and Brian Cage, who will square off next week to determine who will face Uhaa at Slammiversary, both Barreta and Uhaa Nation returned to Impact Wrestling for a stellar match that went roughly 6 minutes. They pulled off all of their signature moves but it would be Uhaa Nation who scored the win following the Uhaa Combination, which left the crowd on their feet!
Following having his hand raised in victory, Uhaa repeatedly pounded his chest before yelling into the camera that this is his time! Impressive.
Commercial Break
Kurt Angle defeats Bobby Roode. Stellar way to close the show as these 2 are no strangers to one another. The crowd in attendance were treated to this pay-per-view calibre match just 2 weeks before both men will be joined by Ethan Carter III and Austin Aries to challenge for Magnus' TNA World Heavyweight Championship in the King of the Mountain match at Slammiversary. Both men battled back and forth throughout, not staying down long enough for the other to get the 3 count. Eventually, when Roode was in control and looked to be setting Kurt up for the Roode Bomb, Austin Aries made a surprise appearance at ringside, prompting the crowd to pop as Bobby Roode spoke earlier on tonight about how Aries wasn't here tonight. Aries' presence at ringside proved enough to distract Roode long enough for Kurt to hit an Olympic Slam for the 1-2-3!
Post-match, as Angle has his hand raised, Aries slides into the ring where he crouches down beside a downed Roode and begins getting in his face, much to the delight of the crowd as we cut to black!

IMPACT WRESTLING NEWS & NOTES FOR JUNE 7: // The return of Rampage Jackson to Impact Wrestling came as a surprise to many. Following a lengthy absence from TNA programming, many presumed that Jackson was done with the company, however, it is believed his addition to the card for next Sunday's Slammiversary was done as a way to try and attempt to boost ticket sales. It is unclear whether or not Rampage will stick around TNA following Slammiversary due to upcoming Bellator MMA commitments.
// Following weeks of build-up to his eventual return to TNA, Kenny King confirmed on his Twitter page that he will be on-hand next Sunday at Slammiversary in Dallas where he is expected to make his return to the ring. No match featuring King has (as of publishing) not been added to the card but it is expected in the coming days.
// Next week's episode of Impact Wrestling will be the final episode taped from the Impact Zone in Orlando for just under 3 months. Following Slammiversary, TNA will take their Spike TV cameras to Bethlehem, PA. to tape 4 episodes of Impact Wrestling across 2 nights before then moving on to the iconic Manhattan Center in New York City where they will then tape a further 6 episodes across 3 nights. There are reports that TNA are currently trying to negotiate booking the Manhattan Center for another 3 nights of tapings in August which could mean that Impact Wrestling could be on the road right up until Bound for Glory in October.
// There are apparently discussions backstage about the possible return of the 6-sided ring to all TNA programming, including Impact Wrestling, pay-per-views and live events.

ORLANDO, Fla. — With just 3 days to go until TNA's huge 12th year spectacular, Slammiversary, set to be aired live on pay-per-view around the World from Dallas-Fort Worth, TX., Taz and Mike Tenay welcomed us to the go-home episode of Impact Wrestling on Spike! The pair go over tonight's card and talk about how their excitement heading into Slammiversary this Sunday, which is sure to be one hell of a show. We won't be wasting anymore time here as it's time for 6-man tag action featuring the stars of TNA's X-Division!
Manik, Ultimate Tiger and Eric Young defeat Shark Boy and The BroMans (DJ Z and Jessie Godderz). With Robbie E. (and TNA Knockout, Brooke Tessmacher) both inactive now due to their participation in the upcoming season of The Amazing Race, the B-team of The BroMans in DJ Z and Jessie Godderz teamed with the returning, and heavily over, Shark Boy to face off against the fan favourite team of EY, the masked Manik and Mexico's Ultimate Tiger. It was announced earlier in the week on ImpactWrestling.com that Jeff Jarrett had added a 10-man X-Division showcase match to the Slammiversary card with the winner earning a future shot at the X-Division Championship. This was a showcase match of sorts that was a great way to kick things off. Shark Boy ended up having had enough of The BroMans dirty tactics, floored Jessie with a right hand shot before drilling DJ Z with a Stunner and then leaving, allowing Manik to hit a Frog Splash on Z for the win for his team!
The babyface's (Shark Boy included) celebrate their victory as Jessie and DJ Z stumble up the ramp and to the back, promising revenge! We then cut to a pre-taped video of Brian Cage and Ricochet respectively training inside an empty ring. The video cuts between both guys talking to the camera about the opportunity that they have infront of them tonight where one of them will move on to Slammiversary to face Uhaa Nation, with the winner of that match then earning a spot in the coveted Bound for Glory Series. Both Cage and Ricochet seemed more than determine.
Commercial Break
A video package airs, hyping the return of "The King of the Night" Kenny King after a lengthy absence from TNA programming. Kenny returns to action this Sunday at Slammiversary.
In the back Jeremy Borash is at the interview area with Samoa Joe. JB asks Joe for his thoughts ahead of his grudge match against Abyss this Sunday at Slammiversary. Joe promises not only victory--but to beat the living daylights out of Abyss! Joe then stops in his tracks as he appears to have noticed something. The camera follows Joe, who by now is in the face of TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus who is in the midst of a phone call. Joe smacks the cell phone out of Magnus' hand before Magnus shoves him! Just as Joe is about to retaliate, Abyss blindsides him! Magnus and Abyss double-team Joe (who doesn't go down without a fight) until Kurt Angle comes to Joe's aid, prompting the champ and his insurance policy to scatter, pleased with their actions!
Brian Cage defeats Ricochet to advance to Slammiversary for a BFG Series Qualifier. Following the stellar showing from both Ace Barreta and Uhaa Nation last week on Impact Wrestling which saw Uhaa pick up the victory, both Brian Cage and Ricochet showed exactly why they are 2 of the hottest free agents in all of the World today as they tore the roof off the place. Unfortunately, the crowd in attendance kind of dragged the match down, which is to be expected with any Impact Zone show. Cage picked up the victory at the 6 minute mark after catching Ricochet mid-air with a discus lariat.
Cage has his hand raised by the official before he stands on the middle rope, pointing into the camera that we are looking at (soon-to-be) the first official entrant into the Bound for Glory Series!
Commercial Break
Gail Kim defeats Alyssa Flash, Velvet Sky and ODB to earn a Knockouts Championship shot. As the only 4 active Knockout's besides the champion, Ivelisse, these 4 battled it out to determine who will get a shot at Ivelisse's title at Slammiversary this Sunday. With Ivelisse on commentary, it was interesting to hear her reaction when her tag partner Alyssa Flash almost picked up the win following an Air Raid Crash on Velvet. Ultimately, it was Gail Kim who picked up the victory when she nailed ODB with the Eat Defeat following a Tower of Doom spot.
The current champ Ivelisse doesn't look phased as she removes her headset and stands at the announcer's booth, raising her title high as Gail watches on from the ring, motioning that it will come home!
Ethan Carter III and Rockstar Spud are talking together in the back. Carter is talking about their loss to Magnus and Abyss last week and how he cannot wait to leave Texas as the new TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Bobby Roode appears, one of the 3 other guys Ethan will face in tonight's main event, and says that he couldn't help but overhear EC3 tell Spud that he cannot wait to leave Texas the champ. Roode corrects him and claims that he will be the one leaving as champ! Ethan chuckles, telling Bobby Roode that he's old news now and that EC3 is the present and the future before he heads off, telling Spud to c'mon.
Former X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin is shown walking down the hall backstage with Alex Shelley's X-Division Championship which he stole a few weeks back. Sabin is in action after this!
Commercial Break
A video package is aired, hyping the upcoming Impact Wrestling tapings in both Bethlehem, PA. and New York City at the Manhattan Center!
At the announcer's booth, Taz and Mike Tenay announce that moments ago it was determined that Gail Kim will challenge Ivelisse for the Knockouts Title at Slammiversary this Sunday, however, they have just received word from Jeff Jarrett that former champion Madison Rayne will be cashing in her rematch clause and now the match will be a 3-way!
Chris Sabin defeats Curry Man. In another surprise, Curry Man returned to action here tonight to a huge ovation from the crowd. Sabin, who is still in possession of Alex Shelley's X-Division title after stealing it a couple weeks back, looked vicious out there after having snapped due to Curry Man repeatedly reversing each of Sabin's moves. In the end, it would be Sabin leaving with the victory and earning momentum ahead of his championship match against Shelley at Slammiversary when he nailed the All Hail Sabin.
Sabin is quick to snatch the X-Division title belt and a microphone from ringside before announcing that he will not be handing back the belt to Alex Shelley as he doesn't deserve it! Sabin proposes that their match at Slammiversary be an Ultimate-X match with the belt suspended high above the ring! Out of nowhere, Alex Shelley sprints to ringside and slides into the ring, immediately running after Sabin but he bails through the middle rope and through the crowd, out of sight!
Commercial Break
Back from commercial and James Storm is halfway down the rampway. Storm, who this Sunday will meet rival Gunner in a Texas Deathmatch, wastes no time in talking about Jeff Jarrett's shock announcement last week that Rampage Jackson will be the enforcer for his and Gunner's match. Storm says that he fears NOONE--certainly not some MMA guy who thinks he can crossover and come into his World! Before Storm can go on any further an unusual theme music hits but it's the words "RAMPAGE JACKSON" on the titantron that let the crowd know exactly who is about to make their entrance into the Impact Zone!! The crowd erupt as James Storm's face drops. After a few moments, out from behind the smoke at the top of the ramp emerges.... a midget dressed up like Rampage Jackson! The crowd boo as James Storm bounces around the ring in hysterics. Storm's party doesn't get to go on much longer as Gunner comes sprinting down and into the ring just as Storm slides out. With his back to "Rampage Jackson", the imposter punches Gunner from behind. Gunner turns around in confusion as "Rampage Jackson" continues to punch Gunner but it has no effect. Gunner is in no mood for James Storm's mind games and ends up shoving the midget down and kicking him out of the ring before then pointing at Storm, who is at the top of the ramp now.
Commercial Break
Kazarian with Christopher Daniels defeats World Tag Team Champion, Davey Richards with World Tag Team Champion, Eddie Edwards. Following Eddie Edwards' victory over Christopher Daniels last week on Impact Wrestling, Kazarian stepped up to the plate to face off against Davey Richards before both teams meet at Slammiversary. This was a great encounter that the crowd were thoroughly into from the get-go. Kazarian was able to even the scoreboard when he, cleanly, picked up the victory after spiking Davey on his head with a vicious looking Fade to Black.
The Bad Influence waste no time in celebrating their victory, the pair hugging before then motioning that they will be coming for The Wolves' TNA World Tag Team titles come Slammiversary in 3 days.
Austin Aries is shown getting ready ahead of our blockbuster four way match pitting each man from this Sunday's King of the Mountain match against each other.
Commercial Break
Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode vs. Kurt Angle vs. Ethan Carter III with Rockstar Spud ends in a No Contest. With all 4 of these competitors set to be apart of the first King of the Mountain match in some years this Sunday at Slammiversary, all 4 got the chance to battle it out here and earn some momentum headed into the pay-per-view. This was a stellar main event with each competitor giving it everything they had to pick up the victory. EC3 really shined here, proving to the World that he is more than capable of hanging around with the big dog's in TNA's main event scene. Towards the end of the match, Aries was perched on the top, looking like he was going for the 450 Splash on Angle. Before he was able to do so, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Magnus appeared on the apron, shoving Aries off and to the floor below before he then entered the ring and cracked Bobby Roode with his title belt!
Referee Earl Hebner ended up throwing the match out as Magnus begins to size up Kurt Angle, who is beginning to get back to his feet. Before he is able to do so, EC3 spins Magnus around and begins to unload on him with right hand shots before nailing the One Percenter on the champ! With Kurt now back to his feet, he lays out Carter with an Olympic Slam before Aries then sends Kurt reeling through the middle rope and to the floor with a running discus forearm smash! Aries doesn't get long to celebrate as Bobby Roode charges at him and scoops him up onto his shoulders, planting him with the Roode Bomb leaving himself standing tall! Bobby heads over and picks up Magnus' title belt which was laying on the mat. Roode stares at it before he then holds it up high as the show comes to a close.

| Slammiversary on PPV Jun. 15, 2014 @ Arlington, TX. Hosted by Mike Tenay and Taz |
Hello and welcome everyone to TNA's second (of three) pay-per-views this year! Taz and Mike Tenay are ready to call all of the action as it happens and the pair seem more than ready. Taz seems amped about the announcement of who will be the 3rd addition to TNA's Hall of Fame--joining current Hall of Famers, Kurt Angle and Sting! Mike Tenay tells Taz that his guess is as good as anyone's.
Kenny King defeats Ultimate Tiger, Manik Jessie Godderz, Seiya Sanada, Eric Young, Rionne Fujiwara, Amazing Red, DJ Z and Shark Boy in an X-Division Showcase. What a way to kick off TNA's birthday spectacular than with the division that is, arguably, what put the company on the map. Stars of TNA's past and present (and future) took to the ring in a 10-man elimination match in order to determine who will be next in line for a shot at the X-Division Championship. Kenny King made his return to TNA programming after a lengthy absence, this time as a babyface and he looked great out there showing no signs of ring rust. The first elimination came in the form of Shark Boy, who too made a return here tonight, when DJ Z dumped him to the floor. DJ Z and Jessie Godderz, better known together as The BroMans, worked together and done everything they could to try and eliminate Manik who pinned DJ Z in a 6-man tag match this past Thursday night on Impact Wrestling. But unfortunately for the pair, Manik was too quick and he was able to dodge their double clothesline attempt before sending DJ Z to the outside with a hurricanrana! Amazing Red soon followed after WRESTLE-1 star Rionne Fujiwara sent him packing. Fujiwara himself was next to go with thanks to Tiger, followed closely by Eric Young, another WRESTLE-1 guy in Seiya Sanada (by Jessie Godderz). The final four ended up being Godderz, Kenny King, Manik and Ultimate Tiger. The babyfaces worked together to eliminate Godderz, who had the clear power advantage over all of them. Manik was next after Godderz and DJ Z distracted him, allowing Kenny King to toss him out. With Tiger and King the final two competitors, TNA rules in a battle royal mean that they must have a regular match with the winner being decided by pinfall or submission. Both guys looked great, showcasing alot in the 4 minutes they had to themselves. In the end, Kenny King was able to pick up the win in his return after catching Tiger's attempt at a springboard crossbody and tossing him up onto his shoulders, eventually planting him with the Royal Flush for the 1-2-3. (12:42)
As King celebrates his win with a victory dance in the ring alongside the model who accompanied him to ringside, we cut to the backstage area where Jeremy Borash is standing by. Borash talks about the X-Division Showcase being a great way to kick things off here tonight before the camera pans out to reveal Knockouts Champion, Ivelisse and her cohort Alyssa Flash. Ivelisse doesn't seem too impressed as she tells JB to talk about her--not the X-Division! Ivelisse says that it doesn't matter whether she defends her title against 1 Knockout or 2 because it's always going to be the same outcome.
Back live in the arena and the camera is at the announcer's booth with Mike Tenay and Taz. The pair advertise that Impact Wrestling will be broadcasting live from Bethlehem, PA. this coming Thursday and that tickets are still available on TicketMaster. The camera then cuts away to the crowd where we can see Abyss and Samoa Joe brawling with each other! The pair brawl right down the barrier when Joe sends Abyss over the guardrail and to the floor at ringside. Once Joe himself climbs over the barrier, Abyss sends him crashing into the steel steps before rolling him into the ring and the bell sounds.
Samoa Joe defeats Abyss. It was noted by Taz that this match wasn't scheduled to take place until later on in the night, however, it's clear that both men are eager to get at each other and don't want to wait any longer. Abyss dominated Joe, who was still hurt from being tossed into the steel steps, in the early going. With the crowd firmly behind him, Joe was able to mount a comeback that saw him take "The Monster" off his feet with a series of clotheslines. The finish saw Abyss, who had regained control by this point, distracted by 2 guys with long hair in leather trenchcoats hop onto opposite ring aprons and distracting Abyss long enough for Joe to sync in the Coquina Clutch. Abyss was left with no choice but to tap out in what was a decent match between 2 big men. (6:32)
The official raises Joe's hand who then motions into the camera a throat slit, seemingly aimed at current TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus who Joe still has unresolved issues with. Once Joe leaves the ring, the 2 mysterious characters slide into the ring and stand above Abyss. The arena lights go out and when they come back up the ring is empty. From there we cut to a video package then plays which recaps the moment The Anti-Knockout's (Alyssa Flash and Ivelisse) made their TNA debuts back in March at the Lockdown pay-per-view. The video highlights how they have dominated the Knockout's division since their arrival, culminating in Ivelisse beating Madison Rayne for the title belt. Tonight, Ivelisse defends against 2 of the most decorated Knockouts in history!
In the first of 5 videos set to hype tonight's King of the Mountain main event, we get a look at Austin Aries' training regime ahead of the match and his recent change in a more selfish attitude. Aries doesn't have any problems explaining to the camera that he will be leaving tonight as a two-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion--and that is why he is the greatest man that ever lived!
Knockouts Champion, Ivelisse with Alyssa Flash defeats Gail Kim and Madison Rayne with Velvet Sky to retain. The TNA Knockout's were next to take to the squared circle as Ivelisse put her title on the line against 2 former champions. With this being Madison's first outing since Ivelisse and Alyssa brutally attacked her backstage right before Ivelisse beat Madison for the Knockout's gold, the former champ looked relentless out there as she tackled Ivelisse to the mat before the bell even rung. The action wasn't just inside the ring as Velvet Sky and Alyssa Flash, who were in the corner's of their respective pals, ended up getting into it after Flash tripped up Rayne. The finish of the match saw Ivelisse retain after hitting a running spinning roundhouse kick on Gail. (7:14)
Ivelisse doesn't hang around as she slides out of the ring, grabbing her title belt from ringside and staggering up the ramp with Flash, who herself looks roughed up after brawling with Velvet. Jeremy Borash is once again standing by backstage but this time he is joined by X-Division Champion, Alex Shelley who in just a matter of minutes will meet former tag partner-turned-rival in Chris Sabin in what will be the 33rd Ultimate-X match in history. Shelley brings up how Sabin stole the title belt from him a few weeks back and after tonight, he will finally be reunited with what belongs to him!
The Bad Influence, Christopher Daniels and Kazarian, can be seen talking amongst themselves in the back as the cameraman films them from around a corner. They appear to be discussing tactics ahead of their TNA World Tag Team title match against The Wolves, which is sure to be an instant classic, when Kazarian catches the cameraman and charges over, facing the camera downwards.
X-Division Champion, Alex Shelley defeats Chris Sabin in an Ultimate-X match to retain. Following Shelley's shocking return to Impact Wrestling back in February on TNA's annual UK tour, he and Sabin were on the same page as The Motor City Machineguns but after Sabin's cockiness grew, Shelley eventually had enough and shocked the World when he, under a mask and going by the name El Decker, beat Sabin for the X-Division Championship in the Chris Sabin Open Invitational. Since then, both guys have been battling back and forth over the championship with Sabin going as far as stealing it and not returning the title to Shelley. Being a veteran of the Ultimate-X match (having competed in 17 of them), Sabin challenged Shelley to this bout, citing this being Shelley's chance of retrieving what is rightfully his. Both guys absolutely tore the house down, as one would expect, in what was a must see match and a sure-fire candidate for match of the year. Alex Shelley was able to retrieve the title belt after both guys were hanging off the wire, Shelley proceeding to kick Sabin off and down the mat before pulling the gold down! (14:27)
The champ struggles to get back to his feet as he simply lays on his back, holding the X-Division title close to his chest as Christy Hemme announces him as the winner! Brian Cage can be seen working out in the back, doing pull-ups before he stops and turns around to face the camera. Cage points to the camera, claiming that tonight is the biggest night of his career. He says that he is destined for greatness and tonight Uhaa Nation is merely a stepping stone for Cage to advance into the Bound for Glory Series and becoming an official member of the TNA roster.
Outside of the arena, a flash vehicle pulls up before we then see the feet of whoever it is stepping out. The camera follows their feet before panning up to reveal it's Rampage Jackson! We can hear the live crowd back in the arena pop as Jackson heads into the venue. Jackson is here tonight to be the special guest enforcer in the Texas Deathmatch between Gunner and James Storm!
It's now time for the second of 5 video packages to hype tonight's main event and this time the focus of the video is former ally of the champion Magnus in Ethan Carter III. Carter talks about how his Aunt D(ixie) made a mistake by putting all her stock into Magnus before she was unceremoniously forced off of TNA programming by Jeff Jarrett. He mentions Magnus' mistreating of Dixie and only using her to get the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. EC3 brings up how he has still yet to be pinned since his arrival at Bound for Glory in October.
After plenty of backstage segments and video packages in order to allow time for the ring crew to dismantle the Ultimate-X structure, the music of Jeff Jarrett hits and out he comes. It's noted by the announcer's that Jarrett has a huge announcement regarding TNA's flagship pay-per-view Bound for Glory aswell as an announcement on the next inductee into TNA's Hall of Fame. Before Jarrett can talk a small "thank you Jarrett" chant breaks out, which he seems to enjoy. Double J then says that before he brings out the 3rd inductee into the TNA Wrestling Hall of Fame, all week long on ImpactWrestling.com and social media, there has been hype of an announcement in regards to where Bound for Glory will emanate from this year. Jarrett then asks for the guys in the trucks to "roll the tape". A video then reveals that for the 10th annual Bound for Glory, the event will take place in Tokyo, Japan at Korakeun Hall! Back in the College Park Center, the crowd cheer as Jarrett can be seen nodding. He says that he and the guys and gals in the back cannot wait to get over there to the Land of the Rising sun! Jarrett then says that each year TNA announce the next Hall of Fame inductee at Slammiversary before they are then official inducted at Bound for Glory and so it's fitting that this year's event will be held in Japan as the next inductee has been the cornerstone of Japanese professional wrestling for many decades. "Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you... THE GREAT MUTA!". The crowd absolutely eat it up as we then see another video package, documenting not only Muta's multiple appearances for TNA Wrestling over the years (including his most recent at Lockdown back in March) but also some WRESTLE-1 footage. The Great Muta himself then appears out from the back to a standing ovation as some of the crowd begin to bow down. Once in the ring, Muta and Jarrett shake hands. The announce team touch on Muta's on-going rivalry with Bully Ray but no appearance is made.
The longest reigning TNA World Heavyweight Champion in history in "The It Factor" Bobby Roode's King of the Mountain hype video is up next. Bobby talks about his long rivalled history with not only Magnus but every other competitor in the match tonight. Bobby says that he's not here to make friends but he is only here for one thing and that is to reclaim what he should never have lost initially!
We are once again back at the interview area where Jeremy Borash is standing by alongside Gunner! Gunner seems more than ready ahead of his Texas Deathmatch versus James Storm. Gunner promises that after MONTHS of feuding, tonight he will finally bring down the curtain on this rivalry with James Storm when he covers him in the middle of the ring and Rampage Jackson counts 1..2..3!
World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) defeat Bad Influence (Kazarian & Christopher Daniels) to retain. In what was always guaranteed to be a faultless encounter, 2 of, arguably, the greatest tag teams in TNA Wrestling's 12 year history locked horns in what could only be described as a "wrestling fan's wet dream". Despite being infrequently used on TNA programming over the past couple of months, Kazarian and Daniels certainly haven't missed a beat as they more than held their own against Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards who have been on nothing but a roll since their Impact Wrestling debut's back in January. Bad Influence's tactic that they were discussing earlier in the evening was about to come to fruition when Kazarian handed Daniels a police baton to use. Before Daniels was able to use the foreign object, the official wrestled it out of his hands and tossed it out to the timekeeper. With Daniels now distracted, Davey and Eddie capitalized on him having his back turned and tossed Daniels into Kazarian, sending him crashing into the guardrail! The pair then followed it up with Eddie nailing a Superkick on Daniels who stumbled back dazed right into a bridging German Suplex from Davey Richards and that was all she wrote! (9:50)
Davey and Eddie have their hand's raised before holding their titles high before the camera focuses on Kazarian, who is standing outside of the ring looking annoyed. In the back, WRESTLE-1 star Seiya Sanada can be seen packing up his stuff after competing in the X-Division opener tonight. Sanada's mentor in The Great Muta enters the room and the pair begin talking together in Japanese, with the conversation subtitled in English. Sanada congratulates Muta on his TNA Hall of Fame induction. Muta thanks Sanada and wishes him luck with his time in North America. It appears as if Seiya will be joining the TNA roster.
The focus of the next King of the Mountain hype video is Olympic gold medallist, Kurt Angle. Kurt touches on how he has the experience edge, not only in-ring wise but when it comes the KOTM match as he has competed in it twice already. We see brief footage of him training in the forest and in an empty arena as he talks over it about how ready he is.
James Storm is walking through the hallway backstage wearing a "RAMPAGE FEARS STORM" shirt. This then leads into another video package, this time highlighting the James Storm vs. Gunner match.
"The Cowboy" James Storm | Gunner | Height: 6'0" | Height: 6'2" | Weight: 230lbs | Weight: 247lbs | Finisher: Last Call (Superkick) | Finisher: Gun Rack (Torture rack) | Years Pro: 18 years | Years Pro: 13 years |
Gunner defeats James Storm in a Texas Deathmatch with Rampage Jackson as the Special Guest Enforcer. The only way to describe this match-up is "extreme". There was no formal ring introductions as whilst Gunner made his ring entrance, Storm blindsided him from behind on the rampway with a kendo stick. The addition of Rampage Jackson as the special guest enforcer at ringside made for a fun stipulation as throughout the match, James Storm would taunt him and there was nothing Jackson could do. After using a plethora of weapons and battling both in the ring and around the ringside area, Gunner was able to wriggle free from Storm's attempt at the Eye of the Storm before then tossing Storm into the corner. Gunner charged at Storm, who grabbed the referee and used him as a shield! With the referee now down, Gunner attempted to check on him before turning around and walking straight into a Last Call superkick! Storm covered Gunner but with no official to count the pinfall, Storm began yelling at Rampage Jackson on the outside! Jackson entered the ring to a huge pop before beginning a count but because of the length of time wasted, Gunner was able to kick out at 2--much to the surprise of Storm! "The Cowboy" bounced to his feet and began getting in the face of Jackson, accusing him of a slow count. Rampage then retaliated by nailing a hook! A dazed Storm then staggered right into a spinebuster from Gunner through a table that had already been set-up in the corner! Gunner collapsed onto Storm and into the pinfall with Rampage Jackson counting the 3! (15:01)
Rampage is quick to raise the hand of Gunner, who is favouring his ribs after a brutal match. Gunner then returns the favour to Rampage by raising the MMA fighters hand to a huge ovation from the Texas crowd, all the while Storm lies out cold on the match. Backstage, Uhaa Nation is taping up his wrists. He is in action against Brian Cage for a spot in the Bound for Glory Series right after this!
It's now time for the 5/5 video package highlighting the final competitor in the King of the Mountain match tonight--this time it's not focusing on a challenger, but instead on the current reigning and defending TNA World Heavyweight Champion! Magnus mentions being the smartest competitor in the match tonight and how since he won the championship, TNA management have always been stacking the odds against him in matches. Last month he beat Bobby Roode and Austin Aries in a 3-way match and tonight will be the same outcome! It doesn't matter if it's 4 or 40 challengers--he's here to stay.
Brian Cage defeats Uhaa Nation to earn a spot in the Bound for Glory Series. Following a rollercoaster couple of weeks for both Cage and Uhaa, the pair had what is without a doubt the biggest match of both guy's young careers. Both competitors are worthy of a spot in the coveted Bound for Glory Series, which the winner of said-series will go on to headline Bound for Glory, but unfortunately there is only room for one of them in the tournament and that was clear as both guys fought tooth and nail to pick up the win here. Ultimately, it would be Cage who would earn that spot after he was able to get out of harm's way from Uhaa Nation's moonsault attempt before then laying him flat out for the 1-2-3 following a discus lariat. (5:58)
After celebrating his victory, Cage faces the hard camera and writes out the letters "BFG" using his finger before he then exits the ring and heads up the rampway. In the back, Magnus is shown standing in his ring gear with his TNA World Heavyweight Championship. He is shown repeatedly calling someone on his cell phone, however, there is no answer. The champ can then be heard shouting aloud "WHERE ARE YOU ABYSS?!". After losing any ally that he may have had over the past few months (Ethan Carter III, James Storm, Rockstar Spud, Bobby Roode, etc.) and now with Abyss M.I.A, it appears as if Magnus will have to go out and do the unimaginable--defend his title without any potential outside interference to aid him!KING OF THE MOUNTAIN MATCH RULES | Falls Count Anywhere rules | Pinfall/submission makes competitor "eligible" to retrieve title belt from an official at ringside and attempt to hang it up above the ring | The competitor who is pinned or submitted must then retreat to the penalty box at ringside where they must spend 2 minutes |
World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus defeats Bobby Roode, Ethan Carter III, Kurt Angle and Austin Aries in a King of the Mountain match to retain. In our main event of the evening, it truly was great to see the King of the Mountain match return to TNA programming having not been used since Slammiversary back in 2010 where Kurt Angle walked out as the TNA World Heavyweight Champion--something that must go in the favour of Kurt here tonight. In the beginning of the match, all 4 guys circled Magnus due to each of them developing a problem with him over the past few months during Magnus' reign as champion. The champ floored Angle before attempting to escape the ring but all 4 challengers used him as a punching bag, repeatedly knocking him down before Magnus eventually high tailed it out of there and sat on the ramp, forcing the rest of them to go at it with each other. Throughout the course of the match, each guy ended up spending some time in the penalty box after being pinned. After Roode pinned Aries following a Roode Bomb meaning that Austin would need to go and join EC3 (who was sent there by Magnus) in the penalty box, Bobby couldn't capitalize and immediately retrieve the title and scale the ladder due to exhaustion. With Bobby now lying against the bottom rope trying to recouperate, Magnus sneaked up behind him and tie a loose lace on Roode's boot to the ring rope! As Bobby attempted to get to his feet he soon realised that he wasn't able to move anywhere unless he untied his lace or removed his boot! Magnus had now capitlized and seized the title belt from an official at ringside and quickly scaled the ladder before hanging up the title to retain as Aries and EC3 could do nothing but watch on from the penalty box! Literally just as Magnus hung the title belt up, Roode was able to take his boot off but it was too little to late as Magnus had already won the bout! (18:16)
Magnus overcame the odds and done the unthinkable! Magnus outsmarted his other challengers and was able to leave Arlington tonight continuing his reign as champ! The show comes to an end with Magnus sitting halfway up the ramp holding his championship belt close to his chest as we see Bobby Roode looking absolutely irate in the ring!
Quick Results: 1. Kenny King won an X-Division Showcase for a future X-Division Championship match 2. Samoa Joe defeated Abyss 3. Ivelisse defeated Madison Rayne and Gail Kim to retain the Knockouts Championship 4. Alex Shelley defeated Chris Sabin in an Ultimate-X match to retain the X-Division Championship 5. The Wolves defeated Bad Influence to retain the World Tag Team Championship 6. Gunner defeated James Storm in a Texas Deathmatch (Rampage Jackson as Special Guest Enforcer) 7. Brian Cage defeated Uhaa Nation to earn a spot in the Bound for Glory Series 8. Magnus defeated Ethan Carter III, Bobby Roode, Austin Aries and Kurt Angle to retain the World Heavweight Championship in the King of the Mountain match

POST-SLAMMIVERSARY TNA WRESTLING NEWS & NOTES FOR JUNE 17: // TMZ are reporting that Spike TV will NOT be renewing Impact Wrestling's current deal once it expires. They're reporting that Spike notified TNA President, Dixie Carter late last week in order to give Dixie time to find a new home for the show once the Spike deal expires in October.
// Tickets for TNA's live broadcast of Impact Wrestling from Bethelehem, PA. and the subsequent tapings the following night are shifting well and it should "look good" on TV. It should also be noted that TNA's 3-day run of Impact Wrestling tapings set for the Manhattan Center in New York City next week (June 25-27) are selling exceptionally well.
// Coming hot off the back of this past Sunday's Slammiversary PPV, morale in the TNA lockerroom is said to be the best it has been in quite some time. Management were happy with how the show played out and they now believe that they are finally regaining the momentum that the company lost whilst Hulk Hogan was around.
// A source tells us that James Storm will be taking some time off following his loss to Gunner this past Sunday in order to heal up some nagging injuries that he has had as of late. Robbie E. and Brooke Tessmacher will also continue to miss upcoming TV tapings due to their participation in the upcoming season of CBS' The Amazing Race.
// Many of you will be familiar with the 2 dark and mysterious characters in leather trenchcoats during the Abyss and Samoa Joe match at Slammiversary, however, for those of you who are not, click here to reveal their identities.
// It's being reported that Knux, who hasn't been since on TNA programming in awhile, has been booked to appear at the Bethlehem, PA. tapings and the following New York City tapings. No word on what Knux's role will be upon return to TV although rumours suggest a carnival gimmick.
// Some fans were vocal on social media about TNA's decision not to involve Bully Ray during the segment revealing The Great Muta as the next TNA Hall of Fame inductee. Apparently the plan right up until late in the week was to have Bully appear, however, plans were nixed as they basically didn't want to take away from Muta's moment.

You basically said Impact so I'm gonna say Impact too and go straight to Slammiversary. Big way to kick things off in an X-Division Showcase match with Kenny King getting the victory. Hot way to kick things off and a solid choice for the winner. Interesting way to get things going between Samoa Joe and Abyss with the two brawling their way to the ring. I'm fine with Samoa Joe winning. Actually, I'm glad. Abyss as anything I care for kind of faded... I dunno, almost ten years ago. Meh to the Knockouts, honestly. At least they're hot. For the most part. Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin in the 33rd Ultimate-X match? 33? Jesus, that seems like way too many. Haha. In what would be an excellent X Division title match, Alex Shelley gets the victory. I honestly would have been fine with either guy winning, but Shelley retaining is fine. Brian Cage is a boss. Have you seen that Lucha Underground promo? Crushing bitches like nothing. Hey! Rampage Jackson! I remember when he was a good MMA fighter! Here we are with Jeff Jarrett and Bound for Glory will be taking place in Japan. That happened in reality and I guess it is fine to keep it here. Nothing I was too major on, but, it's all good. The Great Muta in the TNA Hall of Fame seems weird. But, it is a good honor for a legend of the business. No Bully Ray? Sad face. Could've been a good first encounter between the two, but I imagine they'll battle at Bound for Glory. Great to see The Wolves retain the tag team titles over the veterans, Bad Influence. Gunner beats James Storms in the Texas Deathmatch. SORREH, BOUT YO DAMN LUCK! Thats what you get for beating up his dad, Storm. Good vengeance for Gunner here. Brian Cage and Uhaa Nation, I feel, would have been passed over by the crowd sadly. Fine win for Cage, however. He is impressive. Oh lord, Magnus has to defend by himself! Haha, bitch! I'm rather surprised here in the main event to see Magnus walk out still the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, but glad at the same time. Quick note: You ended the show by saying "The show comes to" which isn't much of an end. I'm sure you meant to put that in, haha. Overall, a very good Summerslam Slammiversary event that did quite a lot.

I've wanted to tell you for a while that despite having a roster that I'm not impressed by, you've built a great Slammiversary card and I commend you for that. Opening with the X-Division Showcase is always a great move. They get the crowd excited, and for a show like this, it's perfect since the X-Division put the company on the map. Kenny King winning is perfect as I'm a big fan. Hope to see him get utilized well down the line. Glad the Samoa Joe/Abyss match didn't get much time. It was my least favorite when looking at the card. Poor Samoa Joe's credibility is just shot. Ooh but an issue with Magnus could mean big things. Austin Aries is the ing man. Love the Knockouts work and you know how much of a fan of Alissa Flash I am. I hope to see her and Ivelisse collide down the road. Glad she retained though. I can't recall many one on one Ultimate X matches, but this is great. The Motor City Machine Guns are one of my favorite teams ever, and with Alex Shelley being my favorite of the two, having him retain is excellent. Cool to see Brian Cage getting shine. Bound for Glory in Japan is hopefully better here than it was in real life. I love both the Wolves and Bad Influence, so I found this to be great. Big win for the Wolves. The wet dream remark made me chuckle. RAMPAGE FEARS STORM! Gunner winning was the right way to go even though I'm not a Gunner fan. Good to see Uhaa Nation and Cage getting love and I'm intrigued by Cage being in the BFG series. Magnus retaining is not something I expected but it is something I love. I happen to be a fan of his work and think he can do wonders as the top guy. Overall, a very fun show and I hope this lasts a long time.
