TNA Slammaversary Results
Taken from angrymarks.com
Written by Stevie J.
Ye gods, I've been watching TNA for six years. I was watching Slammiversary before it even had a name. Click on the full post for the LIVE recap and hit F5 or refresh as often as you like for updates. We'll also be posting match results on the Live Twitter Blog.
We've got 26 minutes to go until the PPV starts. We're seeing highlights of King of the Mountain matches from the past, including Samoa Joe's successful title defense last year. I'd be lying if I said this was one of my favorite TNA style matches. Before I give more thoughts on that, we're backstage for an interview with Beer Money.
Roode: "Our schedule has been a lot easier, but what can we say that hasn't already been said about Team 3D? They're the greatest tag team of all time. For them to defend the New Japan Tag Titles, 15 hours there, 15 hours back, no sleep, these guys are amazing." All of a sudden James Storm bursts out laughing and they both CACKLE. Storm: "The plane should feel bad for them guys on it! We ain't got no sleep either, we've been partying all night, cause we're gonna win! We're gonna prove without a shadow of a doubt that we're the greatest in the world. Guys, get some sleep on the plane."
Now this one of the few angles going in any wrestling company that I've really enjoyed over the last month, and I've barely even watched Impact except to fast-forward through it on the DVR. Nevertheless Team 3D has treated the tag team titles like they're a serious deal, their opponents have treated their desire to WIN those coveted titles like a serious deal, and "mutual respect" has gone out the window since 3D wants to show Beer Money that they may be the future greats, but they're not stepping out of the way JUST YET to let them ascend to the top of the throne. Somehow amidst a steaming pile of sports entertainment among all three major brands, someone has actually managed to book an old school style grudge with tag teams. It's honestly reason enough for me to spend $29.95 on this show.
* The British Invasion v. 'Showtime' Eric Young & 'War Machine' Rhino
As you would expect, Rhino gets a big pop from The Palace at Auburn Hills. Ty Warren also accompanied Rhino to ringside. The crowd from the $7 seats to the ringside is chanting RHI-NO. Young starts off the match but quickly tags out to the War Machine, who runs over Doug Williams with a big shoulder. Young tags back in and the two are taking turns cutting off the ring and beating Williams down. Williams tries to hip toss Rhino to no avail and gets a short-arm clothesline. What the hell? Rhino reaches out for a tag and Young jumps down off the apron. British Invasion take the opportunity offered by the distraction for a two-on-one beatdown. Jesse Deal from the USS Cole (Rhino's protege) argues with Young as he walks up the ramp, and Deal comes down to ringside - ostensibly to cheer his mentor on. If I remember what Poulin said on the Impact recaps, Young has been doing a heel turn because he feels after 6+ years he should be a main eventer, so I guess this is his way of protesting being in a free match on the pre-show. Rhino starts hulking up and hits a short spear into the corner. Brutus Magnus is saved from the GORE thanks to a distraction by Doug Williams. Jesse Neal wants to get into the ring to help. Seriously, I don't know why the ref doesn't just declare him Rhino's legal partner, or why Neal doesn't just jump in. WELL THERE YOU GO - Neal tags the tag and the ref says "SURE! WHY NOT!" Don West is apoplectic that Rudy Charles would allow it. Unfortunately it doesn't help. Several scoop slams on the British Invasion get things rolling, but eventually Brutus catches Neal and picks him up so Doug Williams can come off the ropes. Reminds me of the old Doomsday Device. British Invasion get the three count. WINNERS: DOUG WILLIAMS & BRUTUS MAGNUS - THE BRITISH INVASION. Slammiversary promo follows.
For once I'm actually grateful for Mr. Nexus of Humanity, because he's actually doing a decent job of explaining why I should care about Raven & Daffney v. Abyss & Taylor Wilde in a Monster's Ball match. "Bob" from Toronto is in the front row and he says he's looking forward to King of the Mountain the most. That reminds me, I was going to speak on my disdain for the concept. I've seen every single KOTM since TNA debuted the concept. Quite frankly it's absurd. (1.) You have to pin somebody to "qualify" to hang the title up. (2.) The pinned person goes into a hockey style "penalty box" for two minutes. (3.) The whole idea of climbing up to HANG a belt instead of climbing a ladder to pull DOWN a belt just frags the smegging hell out of me.
Backstage Sting says he wants to bring respect back into TNA, and he intends to do it at Matt Morgan's expense. "Tonight, I make an example out of you. It's showtime!" Presumably this is the babyface Sting turn, and he'll come out without the Mafia and wearing the facepaint, but if Poulin already explained that in the Impact recaps then my bad for not picking up on it. Honestly I'm more interested in this PPV simply because I have paid so little attention over the last month. That actually makes watching Slammiversary feel more special to me. Shelley, Lethal, Suicide, Sabin and Creed in a KOTM X-Division Title Match - even though the reverse ladder match annoys me, that one should sitll be good. Dixie Carter is in the front row and she says happy Father's Day to everybody here and everyone at home with kids, and gives Buttnugget J.B. a kiss on the cheek. Two minutes to go!
TNA WRESTLING - CROSS THE LINE. Opening music video package follows. I don't know who sings this song, but I like it. "I take it out on youuuu!" I'll take it out on the director tonight if he misses all the action in the ring. AND NOW TNA WRESTLING RESENTS, SLAMMIVERSARY. They're got the upper rafters of The Palace darkened, but at least down at floor level there seem to be plenty of people watching. I'm sure that since the Pistons aren't playing right now, TNA got a sweetheart deal, but I still don't expect there to be anywhere near a full house even with $7 seats on sale for a while. It looks like the X-Division KOTM will kick off the show tonight! Mike Tenay is explaining all the rules for the Mountain match again, but if you really want to know them, just scroll up - I broke it all down during the pre-show. The Detroit Tiger's own Curtis Granderson is "the special title holder" for the match. Don West acts like he's "very special friends" with Granderson. Sure - and I'm very special friends with @Buttnugget J.B. because I follow him on Twitter. Whatever!
* X-Division KOTM: Jay Lethal, Alex Shelley, Consequences Creed, Chris Sabin, Suicide
The order above is the order they entered. @thedailysuplex just informed me it was Goldylocks who performed the Slammiversary theme. GOLDYLOCKS! I remember when she managed 'Baby Bear' Alex Shelley back in the day. I like her better as a singer than as a manager. The Machine Guns are working together in the match and have left Suicide flattened. There's a MO-TOR CI-TY chant. Sabin accidentally clotheslines his partner though which gives Creed and Lethal the chance to work together, but that backfires when Suicide takes out all four men with the KOTM ladder. Lethal gets thrown onto the ladder and sells the ribs as Suicide makes the pin. SUICIDE IS THE FIRST QUALIFIER. Lethal gets locked into the penalty box as Granderson bids farewell to Tenay & West, as he now has to offer Suicide the belt whenever he calls for it. Creed eats a ladder, attempt to double team Suicide, and just end up eating a whip. Suicide does a really awful looking monkey flip on Alex Shelley but pins him anyway and Shelley has to go into the cage. Lethal still has ten seconds to go, and he's let out right as Shelley is let in. Lethal immediately gets a series of near falls on Suicide as he's now the fresh man off two minutes rest. Sabin throws a chair in Suicide's face, and we nearly miss it thanks to the director doing a split screen on the penalty box. Lethal Combo onto the steel chair, which Sabin was sitting in just seconds before. Both men cover Suicide for the pin as the ref counts three. Shelley comes out of the box while the ref makes up his mind who goes in. LETHAL GETS THE QUALIFYING PIN and Suicide is the only man to enter the penalty box. Machine Guns work over Lethal Consequences. The stupid split screen on the penalty box is annoying the crap out of me. Backbreaker by Shelley on Creed. 10 seconds and Suicide will be out, thankfully, because we keep missing action like Sabin going over the ropes. In fact while the camera man is trying to catch up Shelley gets pinned and CREED IS THE THIRD QUALIFIER. Great, another two minutes of split screen shots. Suicide throws around team Consequences and then monkey flips Sabin back first into the ladder, popping the crowd. Lethal floats over the ropes to the floor, yanks Suicide out, and Creed flip dives over the ropes to wipe him out. Granderson keeps his eye on the belt as everybody brawls out on the floor. SHELLEY RUNS UP THE LADDER TO THE TOP OF THE PENALTY BOX AND CROSSBODIES EVERYONE ON THE FLOOR. Now that was a friggin' sweet spot. Once he gets back to the ring Shelley starts to set up a ladder. Ref tells him he's not eligible. Sabin lays down for Shelley. SHELLEY QUALIFIES. He quickly scurries up the ladder with the title and SUICIDE DROPKICKS IT OUT FROM UNDER HIM. The match has really picked up. Suicide gets thrown headfirst into the ladder. Shelley and Lethal brawl in the corner with the ladder laying on the ropes between them. Creed takes Shelley down to the floor while Lethal is stuck in the ladder, and Suicide catapults him into the air and he goes flying into the ring. Don West: "He ducked his head at the last second, saving him from a broken neck." Yeah, we don't need another one in pro wrestling right now. Tornado DDT by Sabin on Lethal for three. SABIN QUALIFIES - EVERY MAN IS LEGAL.
Slingshot DDT by Suicide. Sabin scoop slams Suicide and sets up the ladder. Sabin calls for the belt and starts to go up. Suicide pulls him back down. "He should have gone up just a little bit quicker!" Don, if he was booked to win, he would have. Suicide is hung up in a tree of woe and Sabin hits the hesitation dropkick. Lethal gets back out of the box. Sabin starts to go up again and Lethal pulls him down. Lethal gets a frogsplash from Shelley while Lethals on the mat. The ladder is down now. Shelley pulls it out of the ring and drapes it from the steel barricade to the ring apron. Creed gives Shelley a head kick and Suicide a scoop slam. Machismo goes top rope and Sabin cuts him off. Sabin nearly gets floated over the ropes into the ladder, then gets knocked backwards into it anyway and he takes a bump on it. Shelley baseball slides Suicide into a chair by the penalty box then does a slingshot crossbody into the chair, and the chair slowly falls over backwards. Meanwhile Lethal is on the top rope and does a flying elbow right onto the ladder and the prone Sabin. Both men fall off wincing. Superkick on Creed on the apron by Shelley. Shelley hits a sliced bread #2 backwards onto the apron! AWESOME. Suicide catches up to him though and the two exchange chops. Shelley tries to backflip a sliced bread off the penalty box but misses and Suicide knocks him over the barricade. Suicide comes in to set up the ladder to a chorus of boos. Lethal gets in and tips the ladder over, and Suicide lands on top of the penalty box. The ladder ends up on top of the box too. Creed climbs up on the box and the two brawl. Meanwhile Shelley gets ANOTHER ladder and sets it up. Suicide climbs across the ladder OVER Lethal and DDT's Shelley to the mat. Suicide climbs up the second ladder, hangs the belt and it's all over. WINNER AND STILL TNA X-DIVISION CHAMPION: SUICIDE. The lights go out, Suicide leaves, and Tenay and West run down tonight's card. We go backstage to Lauren and Shane Douglas.
"Let me tell you something my beautiful Lauren Come Lately. Maybe you should do your exercise before you come here to jabber your jaw. I am the Franchise, I am the standard, I've been the guy that carried the gold, over 7 years a champion in this business. Remember what the Legend says - to be the man you have to BEAT the man. Jeff Jarrett has done you a favor Chris Daniels. He felt sorry for ya, it's a weakness of his character. I don't feel sorry for you. I set the standard, and I knock punks down trying to make a name for themselves Daniels." Unless I'm mistaken, 'Fallen Angel' Christopher Daniels has been in professional wrestling just about as long as Shane Douglas, but if you want to go with this angle then sure, what the fuck, whatever. We go to a video package with the Franchise screaming about his second chance. Daniels: "If you beat me, you can have my roster spot. When I beat you though, get your ratty-ass out of my company!"
* Shane Douglas v. Christopher Daniels (Second Chance TNA Roster Match)
As if I wasn't already on Daniels side in this match to begin with, they rub in the fact that Douglas is from Pittsburgh and that the Penguins beat the Red Wings in the Stanley Cup. I'm with the crowd in Michigan tonight - BOOOOOOO. It's cheap heat but it's definitely heat for me. The bell rings, the two jack jaws, and Daniels shoves him away. Daniels dropkicks him at the knees, pummels his forehead, wraps an arm around his face but Douglas counters out and walks over him. Daniels responds with a drop toe hold and stands on Douglas' back. It's a war of who can disrespect the other more. Daniels knocks him down and stomps on his chest. Daniels puts Douglas in a crossface but Franchise won't submit - or at least not this early in the match. Dropkick and a spinning kick for two. Franchise puts on the brakes and goes out to the floor for a timeout. Daniels finally manages to catch up to him and hit a split-legged moonsault to the outside.
Douglas whips Daniels into the steel steps and he sells the elbow. Douglas hammerlocks the elbow and then whips Daniels back into it again. Daniels is thrown back in the ring selling the left arm and Douglas grabs the arm and gets behind him to crank back on it. He fights out with punches but Douglas clotheslines him as he comes off the ropes. Douglas goes back to work on the arm, from a half nelson to an armbar. Daniels gets a foot on the ropes to force Douglas to break. Credit to both men for keeping the pace a bit slower so that Douglas doesn't get totally blown up. Daniels pulls himself by one arm and then hits Douglas with a running clothesline using the right, then bridges a suplex for two. He teases a BME by posing for the crowd but Douglas gets a foot up in his face on the delay. Franchise teases a belly to belly suplex, Daniels trips the leg to get him down, QUICKLY goes for the BME and hits it for the 1-2-3! WINNER AND RETAINING HIS ROSTER SPOT: CHRISTOPHER DANIELS. It was a nothing match but at least the right man won with the right move.
Mick Foley is backstage with Jeremy Borash. He says he's got a 2 in 5 chance of retaining tonight. "How would it look to the shareholders if all of a sudden Jeff Jarrett, the founder of TNA, magically shows up as the world champion?" WOW. He's actually putting over the idea that Jarrett BOOKS HIMSELF TO WIN IN HIS OWN COMPANY. You know I'm amused by the fact Foley would say on PPV what I've been thinking for the last six years and change about TNA, but honestly the fact he'd actually say it on TV is pure Vince Russo and not at all good for the product. You don't write angles for the smarks, and you don't put backstage politics on TV for the 1% of the audience who reads Wrestling Observer. Oh wait - this is a TNA PPV - only hardcores buy their shows. That percentage may be as high as 20, but it still doesn't justify Russo writing for the internet or booking swerves for the internet.
* Angelina Love {C} v. Tara (The Former Victoria) - Knockouts Title Match
Speaking of good reasons to buy Slammiversary tonight, any chance to see Victoria wrestle on a PPV is reason enough. Love is accompanied to the ring by Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne, and she has the title around her waist and a pink bow around her neck. Her halter top actually describes her boobs as Weapons of Mass Destruction. I kid you not. Beautiful People straddle the ring ropes and Don West nearly goes JIZZ, IN, HIS PANTS.
Angelina Love is in control early and is acting like she's not intimidated by the Black Widow. She even hits a leg trip and paintbrushes her face. "I'm not exactly sure that's a wise move against the experienced Tara." She proves it's not by grabbing her by the hair and pulling her hair first all the way over her back, not once, but TWICE, then throwing Angelina across the ring hair first. Love rolls out to the floor to get some emotional support from her Peeps. Tara attacks and they part like the Red Sea, but before she can throw Love back into the ring and pin her they yank her down off the apron. Now Love is back on offense and having her way with Tara in the ring. Love tries to mock her and play to the crowd but Tara punches her in the boobs and then gets a sunset flip for a near fall. Love socks her in the nose and hits a spin kick for 2.8. "THAT WAS THREE REF! THAT WAS THREE!!" Don West agrees.
Tara goes out and the Beautiful People work her over and throw her into the steel steps, then throw her back in for a series of near falls by Love. Love throws a tantrum that she hasn't gotten the pin yet. Love hits her with boots. "She should be mad Mike. She should throw a tantrum. Charles takes an hour and a half to watch 60 Minutes!" Tara hits a firewoman's carry into a spinning slam, but instead of going for the cover she goes out to attack all of the Beautiful People, beating them into a pulp. "Get some security out here!" Love hits a kick and the Beautiful People go under the ring and get a can. They spray her eyes with hairspray to blind her, enabling Love to get the pin. WINNER AND STILL KNOCKOUT CHAMPION: ANGELINA LOVE.
Backstage Monster's Ball promo with Dr. Stevie, Daffney and Raven. Raven has the best lines of the whole thing. "Lauren I like you because you wear your moral superiority like a cloak of human excrement. You wreak of fear and that turns me on." WOW. "Tonight, we're going to have that breakthrough, even IF IT KILLS US! Quoth the Raven, NEVERMORE!~!~!!!!" He cackles and sobs maniacally as the camera cuts away and we get a Monster's Ball video package.
* Raven & Daffney (w/ Dr. Stevie) v. Taylor Wilde & Abyss - Monster's Ball Match
This is going to be a cluserfuck. Probably an entertaining clusterfuck, but one all the same. Raven and Daffney are thrown into each other early, then Abyss & Wilde double team Raven. Abyss launches Wilde into the air to hit a flying punch as both are stacked up like cordwood. Abyss charges to splash them both and Raven gets out of the way, splashing Daffney all by herself. Don West castigates him for his depraved indifference to women. PAGING DR. PHIL. Abyss press slams her over the ropes onto Raven and Stevie, making West even madder. Wilde crossbodies the whole crew right into the steel barricade. "There are no rules in a Monster's Ball folks!" Really Don. Why do you give so much of a shit about men attacking women then? Abyss and Raven brawl their way into the crowd. Daffney climbs on his back to try and choke him but Taylor Wilde boxes her ears with a pie tin and a trashcan lid. Raven takes the garbage lid for himself to use as a weapon on Abyss and their brawl continues. Tenay: "There's no give in that wall back there!" Then Raven whips Abyss into the "wall" a.k.a. the guard rail and it moves five feet. Then he picks up the guard rail and puts it over Abyss' neck. There was no WALL anywhere in sight so if that was what Tenay meant he needs his vision checked or his monitor at the announce table fixed. Wilde and Daffney are out brawling by the "wall" too. Wilde climbs up a set of speakers. Suddenly I have a bad flashback to IWA-MS and Mickie 'Moose' Knuckles. Wilde does a crossbody onto Daffney through a table, which thankfully is the safest spot she could have done. Back to Raven and Abyss, with Dr. Stevie supplying his ally with cans full of weapons at ringside. Abyss fends him off and goes under the ring for the bag full of - glass, tacks, whatever. Stevie gives him a chairshot right in the face to put a stop to it. Raven sets up a chair for his signature drop toehold. Abyss forehead is split open even before Raven connects with it.
Stevie Night Heat throws in more weapons. IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME. Kendo stick is shredded into splinters before a two count. The girls are nowhere to be seen. Oh wait, there's Daffney - BAM into Wilde's forehead with the cooking sheet. Abyss gets back on offense, then throws away a kendo stick in favor of a trash can. Chokeslam misses the trashcan as Raven kicks it out of the way. Stevie distracts the ref so he can't make the count, then Raven uses the uncrushed can on Abyss back. Second time, Abyss ducks it and Stevie eats it. Wilde gets launched onto Raven with Abyss' help but he can't make the cover as the ref is distracted again, so he goes for the bag of goodies. What does he have? THUMBTACKS!! Daffney tries to punch him in the back and he no-sells it, then turns to look at the crowd like... SHOULD I?! He doesn't have to, because WILDE POWERBOMBS DAFFNEY INTO THEM HERSELF! Legit holy shit chant from both me and the crowd on that spot. Stevie breaks up the pin and turns around to come face to face with Abyss. Chokeslam into the tacks? Raven breaks it up with a chair shot. Evenflow DDT into the chair but ABYSS KICKS OUT. Raven eats a BLACK HOLE SLAM INTO THE TACKS FOR THREE. WINNERS: TAYLOR WILDE & ABYSS.
A garbage match but a fun one all the same. Abyss took a fistful of tacks on the BHS and we see him selling it on the replay before he makes the cover. A bloodied Abyss throws Wilde over his shoulder and carries his tag team partner to the back.
* 'The Blueprint' Matt Morgan vs. 'The Icon' Sting (Morgan Offered a Mafia Spot if He Wins)
West: "What is Sting thinking? He didn't have to put this stipulation in there." Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Couldn't Sting teach Morgan respect WITHOUT putting anything on the line? It's a ridiculous stip. At least Sting is coming out with the black and white facepaint and the scorpion jacket. The crowd still pops for Sting, face or heel, you gotta give him that. Sting and Morgan stall for a bit until Morgan overpowers him and throws him to the floor to a chorus of boos. Morgan throws him into the steel guardrails for good measure. I just got word from @thedailysuplex that Douglas twisted his ankle in the opening minute of his match with Daniels. Well, it would have been slow and plodding even WITHOUT that injury, but it does explain a lot. Sting finally gets back on offense and starts kicking at Morgan's legs, following him all around the ring. Two clothesline attempts are no sold, then Morgan hits a clothesline of his own that connects. Tenay informs us Team 3D have just arrived at the building. Morgan pushes Sting's back into the turnbuckle then throws reverse elbows at his head. Side slam for a near fall. Most of Sting's facepaint is already gone. Here's how the next 3-4 minutes of the match go - Morgan attacks, Sting sells, Morgan pins, Sting kicks out. It's like watching Bradshaw and Cena, and I think you know who is who. YAWN. Morgan finally misses a splash and Sting connects with a missile dropkick, but he eats a boot for another near fall. Sting escapes a Hellavator but that counter was sloppy as hell. Scorpion Deathdrop for 2. Second time that he goes for it he gets three. WINNER: STING.
Blah match. A dud, as Alvarez would say. Promos from Joe and Styles backstage. Joe says he's hunting Kurt and tonight he'll end things where it began, thanks to his Nation of Violence, the most powerful force in the history of professional wrestling.
* Team 3D {C} v. Beer Money - TNA Tag Team Championship Match
Beer Money come out first. James Storm is riding his electrified beer scooter cooler. I love that thing! Team 3D come out with both sets of belts, so obviously their New Japan Tag Team Title defense was successful. Both men are checked over, a WE WANT TABLES chant breaks out, and it looks like the match is going to start with Brother Devon and Robert Roode. Devon is overpowering early, clubbing his back, throwing him down with a slam and hitting a diving headbutt for two. Roode goes back on O for a near fall of his own and Brother Ray makes a blind tag in, with a scowl on his face aimed Roode's way. Short bathroom break here while Bubba Ray is chopping the hell out of Roode - I'll be right back.
Okay I'm back - sorry about that. 3D were trying to get tables and it seems they took too long as Beer Money were able to get back into control. Beer Money hit a double team suplex on Brother Ray and do their salute, and the crowd in Detroit sings along with them. THE BRITISH INVASION ARE HERE. Brutus Magnus, Doug Williams and their muscle Rob Terry all take seats with the announce team. Don West and the British Invasion put each other over like a million bucks and act like they've all been good mates for years. Meanwhile in the ring Devon is reaching out to Brother Ray for the tag and Ray manages to fall down and make the hot tag before rolling out. Devon elevates Roode high in the air and knocks Storm down with a shoulder tackle. Bobby Roode gets covered for two. Clothesline by Devon takes Roode out of his shoes and socks for a near fall that's broken up. Same for a chokeslam. The annoying split screen is back. Like we need to see that British Invasion are at the announce position - we can hear them already! Double team on Devon but he fights his way out with a clothesline on Roode. "You wouldn't see us in there double teaming." Even if the Brits did cheat I wouldn't "see it" myself.
Devon gets a headscissors off the top rope from Storm, Roode does a frogsplash too, but he can only get 2. Tenay calls West a kissass and the Invasion complain about his "crass" language. Top rope clothesline by Devon as Ray was holding Roode up, but it's another near fall. Devon scoops him up, he escapes, Storm goes for the beer spray in the face but gets his own partner, Ray and Devon hit the 3D but the ref is distracted by Invasion and can't see it. Ray goes top rope to wipe them out and Devon tosses another member through the table. Superkick, Last Call, DWI on Devon while Ray is out on the floor for the pin! WINNERS AND NEW TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: BEER MONEY. The Invasion wasn't really necessary for the title change though - in fact I think it cheapens a match I had actually built up as being an old school battle for respect.
Kurt Angle is alone backstage in the Mafia lockerroom. He's got a mustache and a full beard of stubble from ear to ear - that's an interesting look for Angle. It's not a classic Olympic Champion look, but it's a menacing look. Gives a little more meaning to his promise to win the title as being "real, damn real." King of the Mountain video package follows.
* World Title KOTM: AJ Styles, Jeff Jarrett, Mick Foley, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle
It looks like each man is going to get their own individual video package as they are introduced, just to kill a little more time. AJ Styles gets one putting him over as the only TNA Grand Slam Champion and his entrance ends at 10:19 EST. Joe is seen walking backstage with a black towel over his head and Tenay puts over how he's systematically decimated the Mafia, and as I suspected, Joe's package follows. He's put over as the only man to ever retain his title in KOTM. I hate noticing things like this, but it looks like Jarrett stuffed a sock down his trunks. I'm hella grateful when they go to his video package, noting he has never lost a KOTM that he has participated in. Kurt Angle is out fourth. We're reminded Angle won the vacant TNA World Title in 2007 in a KOTM match in Nashville. Angle goes for the cheap heat by wearing a Penguins jersey with Crosby's name on it. Mick Foley is out last with his trademark red flannel and the title over his right shoulder. His video package emphasizes that he's a man of many personas and unpredictable tendencies. Borash doesn't even make the Heavyweight Championship of the World introduction until 10:29 EST, so they've killed no less than 10 minutes with video packages and entrances. They're killing even more by introducing each man in the ring. I just now noticed Styles is wearing the Legends title around his waist, which Borash puts over, plus his seven years in TNA Wrestling. Joe is put over by J.B. as the 280 pound Nation of Violence. Jarrett is put over as the founder of TNA Wrestling. A few weirdos do a "we're not worthy" bow for him. Angle poses and begs the crowd for more heat with his Penguins jersey, spinning around for all sides to see. Last but not least the champion from Long Island, New York who gets a babyface pop from the crowd... oh well Tenay claims it's because Joe put on a Red Wings jersey to attack Kurt Angle. The camera finally goes over and catches it. Joe and his Osgood jersey are thrown into the penalty box to start the match as punishment, and on top of that the DQ is counting as a pin for Angle so KURT ANGLE IS THE FIRST QUALIFIER THE MOMENT THE BELL RINGS.
10:33 EST and we're finally underway. Jarrett and Styles take turns trying to pin Angle and he kicks out each time. There's a FO-LEY chant so despite what Tenay says, he's getting love from the crowd all on his own. God damnit, the split screen is back. Could they not show it to us until a guy is about to get in or out of the penalty box please? Joe gets out at 10:35. While we were distracted by that, Foley tells the ref that Jarrett got a pin. I have no idea if he could or not because we couldn't see, but West says it was a "free ticket" either way. JARRETT IS NOW QUALIFIED.
Foley calmly saunters to the penalty box. Meanwhile Joe and Jarrett are going at it. Joe hits a back senton splash on him for a near fall. Chop levels Jarrett while Styles and Angle brawl outside. Joe gets a crowd pop right before the crowd counts down Foley's last 5 seconds in the box. He gets back in and Joe hits him with discus forearms. Joe puts a kokina clutch on Foley. Angle and Jarrett brawl outside and Angle throws him over the guardrail into the front row. Once again the camera man misses the action - Foley tapped while we were looking at the brawl outside. FUCKING TNA CAMERA PEOPLE CAN SUCK MY DICK. Anyway Foley goes to the penalty box again and SAMOA JOE IS NOW QUALIFIED. Someone got the ladder because it's in the ring, and Joe takes advantage by suplexing Angle onto it, then whipping Jarrett back first into it when it's propped up in the corner. Joe is setting up the ladder right as Foley gets out of the box.
10:41 EST now as Joe makes his way up to hang the belt, but Foley runs straight into the ladder to send it crashing down. Joe falls back first onto the legs of the ladder, and he's lucky to have not been seriously hurt. He's selling like he was anyway. Styles gets tossed out to the apron by Foley, who pulls up Joe and throws him back first into the ladder. Joe ducks Foley coming in a second time and hip tosses him into said ladder. Jarrett tries to set up the ladder but it's too trashed to stand straight so he throws it at Angle on the outside and brings a fresh one in. Angle crotches Jarrett before he can climb to the top. Styles gets back in the ring and attacks Angle, then puts the ladder in the corner before tossing the title aside. Angle tries to suplex him but Styles lands on his feet. Styles tries to take Angle over but Angle turns it around and counters him right into the ladder. Meanwhile Jarrett was loading up the EL KABONG but Angle saw it coming and blocked it. Angle rolls through on a Jarrett attempt into an ankle lock but Jarrett kicks him away, grabbing the guitar in the process, and this time EL KABONG CONNECTS.
Jarrett begins to climb again at 10:45. Foley climbs up the other side and asks Jarrett to give him the belt. He of course refuses. They start to brawl and AJ dropkicks the ladder. The ladder slowly crashes down on AJ after both Foley and Jarrett take bumps. For unknown reasons Foley goes up to the top of the penalty box. For even more unknown reasons Styles decides to follow him to brawl. Foley teases a suplex spot with Styles twice. Styles headbutts him to save himself and Foley finally gets the upper hand and throws Styles back first into the six-sides. Joe tries to get a clutch on Jarrett but eats a Stroke. Jarrett in turn eats an Angle slam for two. Foley dives off the penalty box with an elbow on Angle! 1-2-3. MICK FOLEY IS QUALIFIED, ANGLE TO THE PENALTY BOX.
This is nowhere near as good as the opening X-Division KOTM, but I'm just now realizing that after all these years, I've finally gotten used to the rules of this reverse ladder match and maybe I don't hate it so much any more. I'd still like to see TNA have a normal ladder match where you pull down the belt to win but hey whatever. Joe tosses Styles over the top rope onto Foley, who was already staggering around on the floor. Apparently Styles got a pin out on the announce floor and ONCE AGAIN THE CAMERA PEOPLE MISSED IT. As it stands STYLES IS NOW QUALIFIED AND FOLEY'S HEADED TO THE BOX. Jarrett unsnaps the belt and climbs up to hang it, Styles climbs up the other side, Angle grabs one of Jarrett's legs and Jarrett drops the belt. Jarrett turns around to attack Angle, and Styles climbs back down so he can get the belt. Joe and Styles go at it and Styles hits Joe with a big dropkick. Everybody's laid out and it's now 10:52 EST.
Foley is out of the box again and staggers his way to the ring. AJ has the belt in his hands as Foley slides in and hits him with a punch. Jarrett and Foley end up on the outside fighting with each other while Joe is in the ring climbing up to hang the belt and become the champion for a second time. Styles grabs a leg to keep him from making it and is finally able to pull him off. He lands on his knees and it looks bad. Somehow the belt landed around Styles' neck and he climbs up wearing it, but Joe grabs him and pulls him off. Forearm shots. Styles sends Joe flying through the ropes into both Jarrett and Foley. Styles Clash on Angle! Styles climbs up to hang the belt but Joe runs back in and POWERBOMBS Styles off. Joe has the belt but Angle runs up the belt on the other side. JOE HANDS THE BELT TO KURT ANGLE AND HE HANGS IT UP. JOE JUST HANDED THE VICTORY TO ANGLE ON A SILVER PLATTER. ANOTHER FUCKING VINCE RUSSO SWERVE.
The entire Main Event Mafia come out to applaud as Angle sits at the top of the ladder with the title belt. Tenay and West both act shocked. Tenay screams about the irony of Joe stabbing all the TNA legends and originals in the back just to be accepted into the Mafia. The PPV immediately goes off the air at 10:56 PM EST. Is the Nation of Violence now permanently disbanded? Is Mick Foley really a face in this whole thing after all? What will Jarrett and Styles do about it? Will Angle dominate the show again, and does this mean that he renewed his contract with TNA? I'd tell you to watch Impact next week to find out, but that's a tough call to make, since even a bad swerve at the end of a TNA PPV is still better than almost any episode of TNA Impact most weeks. Instead all I can say is stay tuned to AngryMarks.com and through news updates and/or Impact recaps we'll fill you in. If you choose to watch next Thursday because of me, don't blame me if the show sucks. Overall a thumbs in the middle PPV leaning slightly up but as so often happens the finish left a bad taste in my mouth.

Former WWF star turned politician B. Brian Blair, age 52, was arrested today on several counts of child abuse following a 4 AM incident with two sons, 17 and 12.
According to an article in the St. Petersburg Times, Blair got into an argument with his oldest son, shoving and punching him before locking him what was described as a "choke" that left his son with trouble breathing. The 12 year old then ended up being choked by Blair as well. There is no word at this time what led up to the incident.
Authorities were called to Blair's residence and he was arrested at 5:12 AM. Blair is currently being held without bail, standard procedure in domestic violence cases.
Blair is best known for his tag team with Jim Brunzell, the masked Killer Bees, wrestling for several years in the 1980s-era WWF. Blair also wrestled in the Florida area. He retired several years ago after claiming back injuries in a fall at a restaurant, although he did one final New Japan tour after that incident.
Blair was elected Hillsborough County Commissioner in 2004. He did not win his bid for re-election earlier this year.
Most recently within the business, Blair become famous for being the victim of an Iron Sheik rant about breaking Blair's back and "making him humble." The Youtube sensation ended up leading to Sheik slapping Blair at the end of an Iron Sheik roast dinner in New Jersey, which all sides have played up as a shoot since.

I kinda like this Miz/Cena feud. It puts somebody different into the main event picture, and it's kind of a unique storyline so far.
^

the way things are i can almost see the miz winning this.,,
rhodes an dibiase def beat the colon's this sunday..

yeah not again lol!! remember mysterio lost his mask to him in wcw?
http://image61.webshots.com/161/4/99...4orVzOu_ph.jpg
lol!!
but yeah miz/cena is different from all the shit going on so maybe they'll give us a good show
I want Jericho to turn face again! Only because his in-ring performance is so much better as a face. He delivers great promos too. The WWE are currently wasting Jericho's potential... Why don't they see this ?
Anyways; I'm a big Mysterio fan, but I'd like to see him unmasked. No homo.
Not because I haven't seen his face (the one on the front of his head, as opposed to kayfabe character), just because it would be cool.
Also, John Cena needs to switch up his gimmick. I hate this current pseudo-marine crap.
He needs to turn heel. But it's too late for him to go back to his old hip hop gimmick, so I don't know what they'd do with him.
PS. I always forget about this thread. Any tips on making me remember it?
Well this thread is stickied, so it shouldn't be too tough to find when you come into the Sports Zone. That might be one easy way to remember it.
I'd have to disagree with you on the Jericho thing. I prefer him as a heel, because I think his heel promos are more entertaining and his character overall.
monday night is jericho !!
always loved it when jericho said that,,
this cm punk jeff hardy match could steal the bash..
the miz better last more than 5 minutes against cena..
if not..
he could be the new santino..
or brooklyn brawler..
some results for the ones who cant see this cuz they r at work like me lol!!

HEY HEY HEY... MAYBE SOME OF US WANT TO WATCH IT. POST THE LINK, EDIT YOUR POST AND REMOVE THE RESULTS.
Shit, you almost killed me man!
ppv sucked
edge an y2j tag champs..
wow..terrible move
diabase an rhoades was the logical choice..they shuda got the push
looks like the "legacy" wont be around much longer..
specially after that an teddy's disagreement with orton after the match
I agree, it was pretty terrible; I didn't even bother to watch the Cena match, just skipped it.
The highlight of the night may well have been Edge and Jericho winning the tag titles. HOPEFULLY; they'll stay as a tag team for a while and potentially turn face.
I hope Teddy Long goes pretty soon, Mr. Mcmahon was right, he hasn't done anything for the whole time he's been there.
I expect RAW will be getting a new GM too?
Peace.
the match of the night was mysterio y2j..
it makes no sense for edge an y2j to get a tag title push..
u have to kind of think that this is a step down for each of them
both had been champ.
jericho just lost the int con title to mysterio
now they are in the sea of med-i-o-core midcarders..
legacy deserved the push
I think they have different plans for Legacy, and I'm glad - Ted Dibiase has a future ahead of him, but he is in dire need of a good gimmick.
Cody Rhodes fails.
I really wanted Mysterio unmasked, but I knew it wouldn't happen.
it happened in wcw already
I know, and its funny how Vince said something like "we'll finally see your true identity". lol.
They seem to ignore that.
But no, I don't mean so I can see his face, it's just I want him to wrestle mask-less.
Also, I think what will bring WWE back to the top, and re-gain all its lost TNA fans is a re-established Cruiserweight division. What do you think?
cruiserweight div will never happen..
where would they put it..
ecw?
for cruiserweights now they have..tyson kid,even born,..??
what they need to do is get some more light on this tag div an thats the only reason i can see that y2j an edge became champs..
again cody an ted should of got the push
since orton talked up there group legacy being better than the horsemen,etc, than it is crucial for this stable to all own gold..
maybe they'll get a re-match when the million dollar man is gm on raw next week..
where the fuck has cryme tyme been..
the wwe sometimes acts like wcw never happened
You fucking asshole! I wanted Mr. Mcmahon to reveal the new GM.
Are you Vince ?
:(
Anyway; Tyson Kid and all those bitches are just Heavyweight wannabes, I don't see them as Cruiser.
Like Jeff, he's neglecting his high flying abilities. Wow, he jumps out of the ring and does a Swanton every so often. He's a faggot.
Hurricane. Did you see him on ECW last week ?
Cruiserweight is Hurricane.
Yeah just watched it.
Shit's wack.
wasnt there a ted dibiase , back in the day , the million dollar man ?
^ Yes, the Ted DiBiase I'm talking about is his son.
Wow, I just thought, next Monday when the Million Dollar Man is 'host', do you think he will have some kind of altercation with his son?
edge out the rest of the year???
john cena's new gear makes him look like he's a john dear salesmen...
R.I.P. to Waldo von Erich.

Yeah it happen in WcW and right after Rey became mad badass they gave him a big push he knocked off Kevin Nash, Bam Bam, and even pulled off a heavyweight title shot against Ric Flair...I would like to see Rey wrestle without his mask again it would force him to switch his style like before..
The WWE to me needs acouple things...a reworked cruiserweight division, the dropping of that weird-ass diva title, a better tag-team division, and new wrestling-skilled wrestlers not jus crowd-pleasers they have enough of those...I would really love to see some wrestlers back who can really wrestle like D'Lo Brown, Elijah Burke, Marcus CorVon, Kevin Thorn...they had good talent but released them not sure why...and there's alot of good talent out there that WWE is over-looking...I also feel Vince should jus pass the torch to Shane already I think he'll do a better job since he's more hands-on and was a legit wrestler....
I think they were going to push the tag team titles with Y2j and Edge being champions, but now with Edge injuied and likely out fo the rest of the year who knows what they will do, hopefully they still ty to build tag teams back up lie back in the day.
WWE seriously need to quit these anti-climaxes.
I wait all fucking week for ECW - just to see Sheamus, and they don't even put him on!
Sheamus seems to be the best in ECW right now, he's Finlay x10.
I think wwe needs to bring managers back to help get some wrestlers over, for example, Shelton is the best wrestler when it comes to ring skills; however, he lacks mic skills, so imagine if he had lets say a Paul heyman doing the talking for him
^^ yeah mangers would be cool...but Vince is cheap he doesn't wanna hire those guys
What's been going on in TNA lately? Samoa Joe with the Main Event Mafia now?
