TNA Slammiversary Results

TNA Slammiversary was a fun wrestling show with some great action and sensible storylines. It was enjoyable to watch a wrestling show that was void of any fake deaths and eulogies. Anyway, here are the results:



- Rhino and Senshi beat LAX: Good opener. They worked together well, but we all know LAX should be a top act. The stakes are too high to be dicking around with politics.



- "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal (below) beat Chris Sabin to win the TNA X Division Title: Lethal continues to be on fire. It's funny that the only Randy Savage mannerism that he can't do correctly is the big elbow. I hope this frees up Sabin so that he can team up with Alex Shelley.

- Frank Wycheck and Jerry Lynn beat "Cowboy" James Storm and Ron "The Truth" Killings: Wycheck did a good job for this being his first match. Crowd was really into it. Storm is great and Killings was good in his first match back after an injury.

- Bob Backlund beat Alex Shelley: Largely a waste of Shelley. I hope this isn't leading to Nash vs. Backlund.

- Kip James and B.G. James beat Doug Basham and The Damaja: Short match but a good angle. Bashams continue to impress me. I'm not sure exactly when Christy Hemme became a heel, but I'm sure it was a good episode. I don't know if she can make it as a "bad guy" because she's too damn cute. She could push somebody's grandmother down a flight of stairs, steal a TV set from an orphanage and slap a panda right across the face and I would still be like "Damn, she's so adorable".

- Eric Young beat Robert Roode: Good match, I would like to see both of these guys advance up the card. Young pulling down Ms. Brooks' pants was weird but necessary. We need more Gail Kim.

- Team 3-D beat Rick Steiner and Road Warrior Animal: I liked Animal as the sub for Scott Steiner. Decent match. I'm wondering if we will ever actually see 3-D vs. The Steiners actually happen.

- Sting (below) beat "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels: Highlight was Sting coming down from the rafters, although I always have those Owen flashbacks. Match was too short.

- Abyss beat Tyson Tomko: Nice match. Tomko made a great move quitting WWE, where he would have been traded to Velocity this week if he had stayed. I think the "glass" was sugar, like they use in Hollywood. I hope so, anyway.

- Kurt Angle won the TNA Title in a King of the Mountain Match over Christian, Samoa Joe, A.J. Styles, and Chris Harris: Good match. It's amazing how "regular" Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle seem. They might benefit from some time off. Harris made sense as the fifth guy. Angle should be wrestling once a month, at PPVs only, as a featured attraction, against the challenger of the month. Looks like they are headed for Joe vs. Angle, IV. Should be interesting.
