"The announcement of the Von Erichs appearing has led to a big jump in ticket sales, according to TNA sources."

Anyone know if this crowd is going to be any good?

I know.

Remember Slammy 2012 (Aries/Joe, Bully/Joseph, Styles&Angle/Daniels&Kaz)? Well this Slammy is in the same town, same arena as the Slammy 2012. In 2012, those 5500-6000 were an excellent crowd, one of the best ones I can remember from this ongoing decade. Lets hope for a repeat!

Oh yeah, does anyone know how many tickets are sold right now?

* Davey Richards told Live Audio Wrestling that The Wolves will be defending their TNA World Tag Team Titles at Slammiversary in 6 days live on PPV. He didn't say who they are facing, but he did say that "the fans are going to dig it."

Wolves vs. Von Erichs?

 

[Snowman]

Another question, Dr. Test:

Where is Seiya Sanada? Option C is right around the corner...

 

[Wilby]

Wolves vs. Von Erichs?

Digging that, certainly helps the card.

Another question, Dr. Test:

Where is Seiya Sanada? Option C is right around the corner...

I think he has been back working in Japan recently? Do not quote me on this though.

I think he has been back working in Japan recently? Do not quote me on this though.

Not really, he's been going back to Japan like once a month to defend the X Div. Title (vs. Yoshioka, vs. Daniels), but he's not back to Japan, not yet. Later this Summer.

Another question, Dr. Test:

Where is Seiya Sanada? Option C is right around the corner...

He's not been seen on last two Impacts, before that he retained against DJ Z and Tigre Uno in a three-way. Since then, nothing on him, and hell, even I don't have a clue will we see him or not this Thursday or Sunday. But either way, Destination X is very close, Great Muta is coming back also, so everything is fine in that regards. Sanada will take the spotlight again very, very soon.

So here's ANOTHER updated prediction card from me:

1) Eric Young (c) vs MVP vs Bobby Roode
2) Bully Ray vs EC3 - Texas Death match
3) The Wolves (c) vs The Von Erichs - Tag Team Championship match
4) Mr. Anderson vs James Storm
5) Willow and Abyss vs Magnus and Bram
6) Samoa Joe vs Bobby Lashley
7) Austin Aries vs Kenny King
8) The Menagerie vs The Bro-Mans

Then I'd say they can change the main event into a KOTM match or just EY vs Lashley if MVP is injured. Also I'd assume they should have signed up a new tag team to add to the 3rd match.

The word is out that injured Kurt Angle will make some sort of special appearance at the PPV.

I think it's Willow vs Magnus in a singles match.
The Von Erichs still have to get an opponent as well.

But with Bram around, chances are he will get a part in the match and so Abyss would be the perfect guy to come in and help Willow.

The Wolves confirmed they have a match, and the only team which would be freed up is The Von Erichs, I believe.

* Kurt Angle will be at Slammiversary to announce the next inductee into the TNA Hall of Fame. Angle is advertised for the VIP meet-and-greet the day before.

Awesome. Now if only they could actually advertise these things on TV. It's no wonder people won't be interested in the PPV unless they're on the internet a lot because they wouldn't know about this, The Von Erichs and that like half of the matches that have been confirmed will happen.

1: Was just fantasy booking something in another group the other day where EC3 finds some classic way to get the biggest fluke victory in wrestling history over Bully Ray (something completely over the top and hilarious, those two would be perfect at it) and right afterwards Aunt D says "Congratulations! For that valiant victory, you deserve a spot in the TNA Hall of Fame!" AND now Kurt Angle will have to induct EC3 as a result of this bullshit?

I've never wanted something in wrestling to happen this bad in my wrestling fandom now. Come on, TNA, you would do something this absurd!
