I'll say this much... I think this King of the Mountain match is my favorite ever.

Same. I love the match in general an very disappointed they made a 5-man match this year and it wasn't a KOTM.

Really? I think I prefer the later ones much more lol like 08 or 09 was especially fire

Yeah I mean I'm not the biggest fan of the match in general. But the 05 was solid and had the novelty of being the first one ever, which tends to be beneficial with me. I would say the first HIAC, MITB and Elimination Chamber are all my favorites of those stipulations as well.

I don't believe this as the first one. Jeff Jarrett wins the first one on one of the anniversary episodes of NWA-TNA PPV.

It's how he got his nickname King of the Mountain/World.

Just checked and Impact has it uploaded in full:

Well... it's the first one I remember seeing so that's enough for me.

I just posted the first one for ya so give it a watch

I member watching that in 2004 I think and really believing Chris Harris was winning it.

 

[Hoss]

Chris Harris was looking like such a surefire star. Now he's more known as a meme than anything else, I'd say.

 

[Smart Marx]

It's honestly crazy how sure everyone I talked to in 2004 thought Harris was a future world champion and ace and then Walker happens.

 

[Chris]

He's just James Storm's other partner or Braden Walker now

 

[Smart Marx]

I even preferred Storm back then, but it was seemed like Harris was backed as the Shawn Michaels of the group.

 

[Hoss]

No doubt. When I watch back the old AMW matches, Storm is always the one in peril and Harris is the guy that gets the hot tag and cleans house. He was definitely booked as if he was the star of the team. And he was, I guess. Until they actually broke up and Harris fucked it all off.

 

[Smart Marx]

I honestly couldn't even trace where it falls apart because the build to this first KOTM has Harris getting a singles push.

It was one of the main stories of 2004. Harris road to the top and Jarrett was the evil king on top the mountain.
