VIDEO: Highlights from TNA’s 5 Year Anniversary show Slammiversary!
Pyros go off as SoCal Val blows you a kiss and the iMPACT! theme plays.
Tenay: Don, we are mere days off Slammiversary, and when I think about the “Phenomenal†event, I could only think of one man.
West: Well, Mike, it sure was “Phenomenal†and I am sure everyone knows who we’re talking about…AJ STYLES! The Phenomenal One finally regained the NWA World Championship in the King of the Mountain match ending the 4 month reign of Kurt Angle!
Tenay: Speaking of Kurt Angle, there was brutal brawls mentally and physically between the Olympic Gold Medalist and the King of the Mountain Jeff Jarrett last Sunday!
West: Mike, Jeff said taking out Angle is what is best for TNA, well, he almost took him out last Sunday, well out of the match that it. Angle was so close to pinning Styles to be eligible to win, but he couldn’t even pull that off since Double J broke up his pin. Angle was the only man throughout the match not eligible to pin. Well that set him off and both men brawled out of the iMPACT! zone abandoning the match!
AJ Styles’ music hits as AJ pops out of the tunnel holding his new NWA World Championship belt. He is also carrying a briefcase.
AJ: Well, well, iMPACT! Zone! Let’s give a huge round of applause to your new NWA World Heavyweight Champion! This marks my 4th title reign! You are looking at a 4 time NWA Champion! So let’s catch us up to speed, because I am pretty slow myself. I am a 4 time champion winning it at the 5 year anniversary PPV beating many men among the 6 time NWA Champion Jeff Jarrett. 4…5…6, I don’t know what I am getting at, but it’s one weird coincidence. Now, this NWA World Heavyweight championship symbolizes many things. Honor, respect, tradition, guys like Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Sabu, Sting, and even the Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle, but it also represents something else.
West: What could AJ be talking about here Mike?
AJ: This NWA World Championship also represents TNA’s youth. TNA is the second largest…no, the largest wrestling promotion on God’s green Earth, so why not kick off the official era of TNA with the Phenomenal One? This company has been through a lot, and who has been there right by it’s side, me the Phenomenal AJ Styles for the last 5 years! So I have this brief case with me for a reason. Inside this briefcase represents TNA’s legacy, TNA’s future, inside this briefcase…
He pulls out a belt.
AJ: …is the new TNA World Heavyweight Championship! Yea that’s right folks, this is the belt that will be the face of TNA forever, and my name will be the first on it!
Christian Cage’s music hits as the Instant Classic hits the iMPACT! Zone stage.
Cage: Hold on a damn minute AJ! You don’t think this monumental moment in TNA history would be without the Instant Classic would you? Of course not. Let’s take a look at that brand new championship…
AJ pulls it away.
Cage: C’mon buddy let me see the…DAMNIT AJ! You would be nothing without the Instant Classic! TNA would be nothing without the Instant Classic! I got my ass beat last night and deserve that belt more than you and more than everyone else in that match last Sunday!
Samoa Joe’s music hits as Joe quickly walks into the ring.
Joe: Excuse me Cage? You had the opportunity to win, but you couldn’t kick out of AJ’s Clash!
Cage: Shut the hell up Joe! I deserve that belt, I am sore as hell and it can’t be for nothing give me that damn belt!
Joe: Hey CLB cool it. I almost shattered by kneecaps from that collision with the ladder. I am not saying I deserve anything, AJ put it up there, therefore AJ deserves it the most!
AJ: Thank You Joe…
Joe: However I don’t deserve the belt, but I deserve the next shot!
Cage: What happened to Samoa Joe Mr. Modest, in that case I deserve the shot!
Sting’s music hits as the Icon Sting his the ramp and walks to the ring with a huge ovation.
Sting: So let me get this one straight, after both getting a huge title match last Sunday, which both of you lost, you both think you deserve a shot at the big one huh? Well, what about a guy like me Cage, how about a star like me Joe, when does the Stinger get a shot at the TNA World title huh?
AJ: Hey, hey, hey, hey, settle down all you animals! There is only one champion here! That’s me! I call all the shots, I hold all the cards! So, concerning the number one contender ship, I will make a decision…
Jim Cornette appears on the screen.
Cornette: AJ! Shut up! Joe, Cage, and Sting, listen here, if it were up to me none of you guys would get title shots! However, since it is the new dawning of TNA wrestling, I will have to think this one through, who deserves the first shot at the TNA world title? That question will be answered next week, I bid you good day gentlemen.
BACKSTAGE:
Homicide and Hernandez are roaming around outside the iMPACT! Zone. Since 3LK defeated them at Slammiversary, they aren’t allowed in 3LK territory (the parking lot.)
Homicide: Damn those little ho’s man. Can’t believe they sacked us like that homes.
Hernandez: Bummer.
Homicide: Yo man watch out!
Petey Williams and Eric Young blindside LAX in front of the iMPACT! Zone. Petey clotheslines Hernandez and Eric takes numerous shots at Homicide. Eric kicks Homicide below the belt and DDT’s him on the concrete. Petey flips the lid open on a big trash can in the front lot. Eric and Petey pull up Hernandez and throw him in there closing the lid.
Petey: Well Eric, that’s what I call taking out the trash.
Eric: Think TNA is ready for us again?
Petey: Yea, looks like the Bash Brothers are back in town.
Tenay: The Bash Brothers? Well, I don’t know what that’s about, but let me tell you something, we haven’t seen Eric or Petey Williams for awhile ever since LAX took them out a couple months back, looks like they just got revenge!

He sets up the chair backwards in front of him, he grabs him by the throat.
Hoyt: Hey Monty…Hey Monty! Listen to me when I am talking to you boy! From the offices of Mr. Jim Cornette, and this is quote! “Due to the recent reactivity of Monty Brown on in TNA, he has been out of action for a long time, so he needs to make up that time. So, in 2 weeks on iMPACT! Mr. Monty Brown will compete in a match against Lance Hoyt. The catch is…that it will be inside 6 Sides of Steel!†So Monty, if you can hear me boy, what do you think about that one Monty, Mr. Alpha Male! 6 Sides of Steel, you and me go another round, 2 weeks Monty, tick freakin’ tock!

BACKSTAGE:
Jeff Jarrett is sitting down with Jeremy Borash.
JB: Jeff, I want to thank you for coming out tonight to speak about this issue.
Jarrett: Glad to be here Jeremy, thank you.
JB: I am sure everyone, including myself is anxious as to what is really going on here with you and one the Olympic Champion Kurt Angle.
Jarrett: Well JB. It’s real simple if you think about it. Long story, short, Kurt Angle. He has just got to go.
JB: Has to go? What do you mean?
Jarrett: I mean what I say Borash, Angle has got to go.
JB: Look what Kurt has done for TNA so far, and you say he has just got to go?
Jarrett: Listen, everyone looks at Kurt Angle like he is the best thing since sliced bread. Trust me, I am a ring veteran, when I look at Kurt Angle, all I see is hype. This kid thinks he deserves more than guys like me, AJ, Scottie Steiner, well the thing is, Kurt, just because you made it in WWE, doesn’t make you any better than any of us here, bottom line.
JB: Well, Jeff, I have to ask you , when you broke Angle’s only chance at being eligible to hang the belt last Sunday, what went through your mind, don’t you know that Angle is a beast, what I am trying to ask you is, are you, Jeff Jarrett, the King of the Mountain, are you afraid of Kurt Angle?
Jarrett: Good question Jeremy, sometimes I think about that myself. When I came back into TNA, to join the King of the Mountain match, Kurt was champ, and Jim called me and said, do you want another run? I said sure, he said chances are you will probably go against Kurt, because he is champ right now. It even went through my head then, I got to tell you Jeremy, I don’t really know. I guess we will have to find out now won’t we. Next week Jeremy right here on iMPACT! I will call out the one and only Kurt Angle. TNA needs to be ridden of Kurt Angle once and for all, I carried this company for 5 years, and I think I am the most qualified man to do the job.
JB: Well Jeff thanks for taking the time out to stop and address the situation.
Jarrett: Always a pleasure JB.
Tenay: DW, I think Jeff Jarrett means business, you see the intenseness of Jarrett, I don’t believe I have ever seen that side of him before.
West: We have seen every side of Jarrett possible, but I don’t think we have ever seen him more focused than right now trying to get Angle out of TNA.
