TNA Slammiversary XII PPV Discussion

[CFCrusader]

I really want Sanada to have the ability to use the Option C clause before the X-Division Title goes elsewhere.

That would be pretty cool to see, too.

 

[Testify]

The nearly-full matchcard IMO, judging by the ongoing storylines:

* Eric Young vs. MVP for the World Title
* Bully Ray vs. EC3
* Mr. Anderson vs. James Storm
* Gail Kim vs. Angelina Love for the Knockouts Title
* Magnus & Bram vs. Willow & ??? (or Magnus vs. Bram maybe? hell no yet)
* Sanada vs. ??? (open challenge perhaps?) for the X Title
* Wolves vs. ??? (maybe King & Lashley?) for the Tag Titles
* Menagerie vs. ??? (they will have some sort of a match for sure, Bromans and Zema maybe?)

MIA from others atm are Roode (kayfab suspended), Aries (battling MVP and co.), Joe (fuck him), Tigre Uno (didn't take advantage of multiple title shots against Sanada), Abyss (hopefully he is in some abyss), Gunner and Samuel Shaw (you know the shit is on between them).

I'd say Magnus & Bram vs Willow & Abyss. It would make sense, as Abyss is pissed at Magnus for all of their shenanigans before EY won the world title. Sanada vs Low-Ki? No, too early. I want to see Sanada vs Manik. Wolves vs King and Lashley would make sense. Menagerie vs Bro-Mans (including DJ Z). Roode will probably be involved in the World Title match in some way, Aries and Joe could be in the Tag Team match as the 3rd team, Tigre Uno should not get another title shot so soon after he's failed multiple times and Gunner and Shaw should probably not be on the card yet.

 

[F.R.I.E]

Only interesting things to me are Young vs MVP and Bully Ray vs Dixie. Yeah, that's right. Not Bully Ray vs EC3. It's Bully Ray vs Dixie. Match is gonna be bad anyway.

 

[Ryan Blade]

Austin Aries absolutely needs to get on this card.

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

Joe and Aries tagging together spells instant straps, if they lose it'd be due to outside interference from MVP causing Lashley and King to get the win.

 

[Testify]

If it is set for the PPV, Aries and Joe vs. Lashley and King in front of hot crowd smells like a MOTYC to me if they give them 15 mins.

 

[CFCrusader]

It's at times like this when I wish TNA still had guys like Sabin, as well as actually using Manik and DJ Z to their full potentials. Sanada will probably just be in a random match if he's even given one for the big PPV show. TNA need to really use their X-Division, restore credibility to the belt (and the wrestler, himself) for Destination-X.

According to the Von Erichs' Facebook page, Ross and Marshall Von Erich will be wrestling at TNA's Slammiversary pay-per-view on June 15th in Dallas Fort-Worth, Texas. Their opponents have yet to be announced.

Ross and Marshall – the sons of Kevin Von Erich – have been training and competing as a tag team with Pro Wrestling Noah in Japan over the past two years.

I have no clue who these fucks are tbh, all I know is they're living nearby the Slammiversary arena somewhere, and they got connections so they'll be wrestling at the PPV.

 

[CFCrusader]

Another tag team, eh. Chances are they are going to be a decent duo, 2 years training in Japan should have done them a world of good. I'm thinking that they could slot in nicely in a match with The Bro-Mans and The Menagerie. Updated card for me would be this:

1) Eric Young (c) vs MVP - Steel Cage match - World Heavyweight Championship
2) Bully Ray vs EC3
3) The Wolves (c) vs Lashley and King vs Aries and Joe - Tag Team Championships
4) Mr. Anderson vs James Storm
5) Angelina Love (c) vs Gail Kim vs Brittany vs Velvet Sky - Knockouts Championship
6) Willow and Abyss vs Magnus and Bram
7) The Bro-Mans vs The Menagerie vs New Tag Team
Pre-Show: Sanada (c) vs Manik - X-Division Championship

[Leo C]

Von Erichs? Sounds alright, they do need some tag teams anyway.

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

I'm pretty hyped for EC3 vs Bully Ray, two of my personal favorites haha should be fun, hopefully Bully Ray doesn't beat him too bad
I wonder if those Von Erichs put on a decent show if TNA may bring them in for more tapings, like we've been saying for awhile now the tag team division was looking weak but they may finally be addressing it all while saving a bit of cash.

I realize there are 16 days to go, but only two matches are up so far? I actually will watch for bully, but MVP vs EY has to be the worst way to celebrate 12 years in business...That is the definition of mediocrity.

James Storm vs Mr. Anderson is pretty much a given, I believe they will confirm that soon enough. The Wolves should be in a match, and having been involved with MVP's group, I'd say King and Lashley are going to fight them - they've been building towards this, anyways. Also, I'd assume Willow, Magnus and Bram will be in a match together.

But of course, I agree that TNA need to have announced more matches officially, make sure they (and the fans) know what is going to definitely happen and what's still to be decided - for example, half of the roster is doing their own thing and we still don't know if the X-Division Champion will have a match at all because he's recently only fought Tigre Uno and DJ Z on Impact but then disappeared again. The 4 PPV model would be great for TNA if they would take advantage of the time the have to book the PPV, but heck I'd even say 6 PPVs a year would be better for them.
