BACKSTAGE:
Leticia is backstage getting ready to interview Christian Cage.
Leticia: Alright, I am standing here with Christian…
Cage: Toots, please, call me “The Instant Classic” Christian Cage, think you can remember all that? Good.
Leticia: Alright I am here with the “Instant Classic” Christian Cage. Cage tonight you will be competing in the King of the Mountain Match, the most star studded Mountain match in the company’s history, after hearing what AJ and Joe had to say, what are your thoughts?
Cage: Well, first of all, you did a great job articulating “The Instant Classic”, you should be proud. However as far as King of the Mountain match tonight, it’s simple, I have reigned as NWA Champion only once after I beat Jeff Jarrett, well, look at this, it’s another moment in TNA’s 5 Year History…
VIDEO: Christian Cage wins the NWA World title from Jeff Jarrett at Against All Odds 2006.
Cage: Love watching that. You know, I have beaten every star in this match in one on one action. So it’s just one mega match for me, and if you are really a Christian Cage nut, you would happen to know I am no stranger to ladders. The belt is coming home, don’t let my 2 losses to Angle on PPV fool you, it’s not one on one this time, so anyting could happen…

BACKSTAGE:
Jeremy Borash is backstage with The King of the Mountain Jeff Jarrett.
JB: Jeremy…
Jarrett: Borash I am going to stop you right there. I have a lot of questions to answer, trust me I know. Why did I slam Angle over the back of the head with a guitar? Well I will just tell you it was best for TNA, best for this company. I couldn’t give a crap about Joe, Styles, or Cage for that matter. My beef is with Angle, and tonight I finish what I started last Thursday!
Jarrett walks away.
JB: Wow, what was that about???
VIDEO: AMW defeats Triple X after a brutal 6 Sides of Steel match.
Tenay: Don, it’s time, you just saw one of AMW’s most memorable matches, but this is probably going to top it. There is so much history between AMW and 3D, but there is one part to this match that is a disadvantage for AWM, this time it’s Team 3D’s choice! AMW had a bull rope match last month, so Team 3D chose a tables match for Slammiversary!
West: Yea and AMW still lost in their own match! I don’t know but if AMW wants those belts they are going to have to pull it out of their you know where!
AMW’s music hits as James Storm and Chris Harris come down the ramp with Gail Kim, Kim’s neck is in a neckbrace from the 3D through a table on Thursday.
Team 3D comes out of the tunnel to their music and make it down to the ring.

Devon runs in the ring in back of Harris and signals for the 3D and nails it on Harris through the table.
WINNER: Team 3D
Tenay: What a great showcase of TNA’s tag team division, another hard fought battle by AMW, but coming up short in the long run once again!
West: AMW was in control for the most part of that match Mike, I don’t know what went wrong, or what’s next for AMW in a matter of fact!
BACKSTAGE:
Leticia is backstage with the NWA World Champion Kurt Angle.
Leticia: Alright you have heard with every man in the King of the Mountain match here at Slammiversary, and now we come to the last man, the defending NWA World Heavyweight Champion….wrestling’s only Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle.
Angle: I don’t want to say much, because I would just be saying stuff the world knows I already think. I am definitely the most focused competitor about to go into King of the Mountain, it’s my first, hell in this company, I have had a lot of firsts, and I overcame all of them! AJ, Samoa Joe, and even Christian Cage, I respect all of you, but Jeff Jarrett, I have no respect for the man and tonight, I am going to break his damn ankle! It’s real…it’s damn real!
VIDEO: Kurt Angle comes to TNA.
Tenay: Well Don, you just saw Kurt Angle’s thoughts on the main event, then you saw one of TNA’s most memorable moments, that’s when Kurt Angle made the jump to TNA. He has had quite the run here in TNA, he is the reigning NWA World Champion since Against All Odds for starters!
West: Mike, but Kurt Angle has never been in a King of the Mountain match, and I fear that is a major disadvantage! Jarrett has been in all of them, the past 3, he has won 2 of them. In my eyes Jarrett is a surefire win tonight!
Tenay: Well Don, don’t forget, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Christian Cage are also in this match, anyone of them could climb the ladder and become the New King of the Mountain here tonight capping off TNA’s 5 Year Anniversary PPV Slammiversary!
