Slammiversary 2005 Live Discussion - July 9, 2020

[Chris]

I don't have high hopes for this match

 

[Sky]

TNA Lashley was so goo

 

[Kiffy Lube]

To be fair though this a smartly booked midcard match for TNA at this time

 

[Sky]

You probably don't know the history of why he left TNA so quickly in early 2010

 

[Chris]

It has a solid story behind it so as long as it isn't trash it'll do it's job

 

[Hoss]

Truth out here. That's my GOAT!

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Until Kofi, I think Russo booked every major black world champion in wrestling...

 

[Hoss]

Does Jay Lethal not count?

 

[Kross Rhodes]

This is a match I'd have really fucked with a few years earlier, but even now I like the story being told.

 

[Sky]

He decided to quit to focus on his MMA career with Strikeforce... it was actually that Strikeforce refused to let him appear on TNA any more because Hulk Hogan promoted TNA on a UFC card

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Does Jay Lethal not count?

Depends on if you count ROH by the time he won.

 

[Hoss]

I would say it's a major world title to this day tbh

 

[Kiffy Lube]

ROH was the #3 company for like a decade, I'll count it

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I'm iffy on ROH being considered major rn, but still, Truth for NWA, Rock for WWE and Book for WCW is crazy to think about.

 

[Chris]

Yeah ROH is a gray area for me, I'm just kinda whatever if people wanna count it or not lol
