I GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA: SWERVE CITY! Slammiversary commemorated TNA’s inception with a BANG! "BANG! BANG!" – Mick Foley. He looks pretty great, huh? He totally jumped off of the penalty box. I definitely saw that part. Did you see that big masked guy throw the girl onto the tacks? Great stuff. It’s good to see Raven back in action. Shane Douglas on the other hand……no thank you. Sting vs Matt Morgan I didn’t watch. I find Matt Morgan strange to look at and it makes me uncomfortable. And Sting is old. And I never liked him except for during that build up to him fighting Hollywood Hogan. I thought it was pretty transparent how the Dudley Boyz were just putting over Beer Money Inc because they are supposedly the next great team. But the Dudley Boyz ain’t that great. Yeah I said it. Go get the tables. That brings me to the title matches. Those King of the Mountain matches are pretty stupid. What kind of concept is that? A really confusing one. These X Division guys aren’t even that good. Spotfests are cool when there are cool spots. Not stupid ones. And some wrestlers that knew what they were doing. Suicide? Really? Come on, tv. Read my mind. And the main event? Whatever. TNA is stupid. Out of 10 stars I give TNA Slammiversary a rating of Scott Steiner sucks.

In my opinion, I felt that TNA Slammiversary was a great PPV. Both
King of the Mountain matches were awesome with plenty of spots (as
expected). The Tag team match with Team 3D and Beer-Money INC was
great too, I think it’s great to see actual tag team matches unlike in
other federations. The Daniels/Douglas match was a little slow, but
apparently Douglas hurt his ankle so i will give it slack. The
Sting/Morgan match for me was a downer, I could not get into this
match and found this match to be the only match I could not really get
into. As for Tara/Love match, it was a nice women’s match to change
pace. I expected an appearance by Awesome Kong but guess I was wrong.
The Monsters Ball match lived up to my expectations. I thought the
women performed very well in this match. Daffney going through the
tacks was a great spot and unexpected. There was one point in the
match where she went over the guardrail and just missed hitting her
head on the corner of the steel steps, I thought she nailed it at
first but luckily I was wrong and she was good. I LOVED the ending to
the King of the Mountain main event match. I did not see this heel
turn coming at all and it was about time a turn occurred that couldn’t
be seen. I also LOVED the fact that NONE of the matches seemed like
they were cut short and all were given the proper amount of time to
give a well-put match. I give TNA a lot of credit for tonight’s PPV
and WWE should really be taking notes on how to give the fans what
they want. Recently I have been a supporter of TNA over WWE due to the
current storylines and matches that WWE is putting together. Thank you
TNA for giving me some hope in being a wrestling fan as a whole and
not disappointing me.

TNA sucks. Bottom line. They continually put older wrestlers over the younger guys on the roster. They are constantly mortgaging their future by burying the great young talent they have. Ok, maybe I’m still a little upset at the fact that they let Petey Williams go. That guy has the best finisher ever.
As for the "King of the Mountain" match, I got 3 words for ya. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Its like if a hardcore, ladder and scramble match had a retarded baby, it would be KoTM. Sure, the match has some great spots and is aesthetically pleasing, but overall there are way too many pointless rules and it just ends up being a clusterf*ck.
Kudos to creative though for the swerve and what they’re doing with Joe. He and AJ are the future of that company and the only reason this near 30 year wrestling fan keeps an eye on TNA.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
