TNA Slammiversary PPV - 10th June 2012

[Guest Jack]

Yeah, Bischoff's pants look horrible. With his sideburns and cheap tattoos, he looks like a CAW from one of the SmackDown! games.

 

Daniels' promo was good, as was Anderson's introduction. I don't rate Anderson on the mic but his introdcution is always good for a pop.

 

The crowd, by the way, are amazing. This show has the feeling of WCW from the mid 90's because of the crowd. TNA should hold every PPV in this city.

[Guest Frank Botch]

If I left the barber looking like Anderson I'd sue the dude.

 

I really hate three ways (in wrestling), always the same shit. Fans seemed to like it though.

 

Anderson winning though... yeah, f*ck that.

[Guest The Beltster]

I hate three way matches too. Same spots every time.

[Guest Magic]

So Storm ends the streak? Cool. I like Storm.

[Maxximus 353]

Hey Crimson, Sorry about your damn luck.

[Guest The Beltster]

Nice video package on Sting but TNA should have tried to get an hour on TV for their HOF.

[Guest Magic]

Can't argue with Sting as the first inductee, and I'm glad they are having a proper ceremony at BFG. Makes sense.

[Maxximus 353]

I'm really happy for Sting and I love the guy and everything, but that segment killed a lot of this shows momentum. Especially following it up with the Knockouts. I find myself browsing around the internet and just listening to the match in the background.

 

Hopefully things pick back up.

[Guest The Beltster]

Abyss got changed fast!

[Maxximus 353]

I'm wondering if Abyss was a plant. There's no way he could have changed that fast. He also never showed his face to the hard cam.

 

If that's the case, I wonder who played Abyss? Either way, I enjoyed that match. I hadn't seen the Joseph Park gimmick yet and I have to admit that it was entertaining. Great expressions on that mug of his.

[Guest The Beltster]

Yeah good point, whoever it was moved like Abyss and had the deal down pat.

[Maxximus 353]

For sure. Same dumpy body and everything. If it WAS Abyss I'm pretty freaking impressed.

[Maxximus 353]

Angle/AJ vs Kaz/Daniels is pretty freaking awesome so far.

[Guest The Beltster]

Great match with amazing heat. I don't agree with the decision though, they didn't need to switch the belts.

[Maxximus 353]

I agree totally. Kaz and Daniels should have kept the belts, but the match was so exciting that I really don't mind the switch that much.

 

Great great great match though. I took your advise for once Beltster and went into this ppv with an open mind instead of watching it just to talk shit and you know what? I'm enjoying the hell out of this show. Even if the rest of the show is shit, I'll be for sure watching TNA again. If I can stomach WWE, there's no reason why I can't do the same with TNA.

[Guest The Beltster]

If you can go in with an open mind it helps, I realise that's easier said than done a lot of times.

 

Did Roode lift that robe from Greg Valentines dressing room or what?

[Maxximus 353]

Looks that way. Roode wants to be an 80's wrestler so bad. You can just sorta tell.

[Maxximus 353]

Pretty damn good ppv for TNA. The crowd definitely helped tons. They were loud all night, even for the knockouts. It's nice that their tenth anniversary show went as well as it did.

 

The Roode/Sting finish was kinda meh, but it was still a good match. Sting may be close to the end of his career, but he can still go, even if he has slowed down a bit.

 

Can't say I'm looking forward to Roode/Anderson next week, but I'll watch it just to see how it goes down.

[Guest The Beltster]

I watched the X-Division and Tag-Title matches again this morning, great matches! Perfect time, not too long, hot crowd. TNA are on a roll with good shows right now.

[Omega 354]

Show looks good on paper bar the decision to have Tessmacher win the belt and whilst Storm is probably the right guy to end Crimson's streak it seemed at least a little cheap to have what looks like a short match for it. Going to give the whole PPV a watch this week and if it's good I'll be giving Impact another go.
