When was the tag match announced?

I'm expecting:
World title: Roode vs

Sting

Hardy vs Anderson (again)
KO Tags: Young/ODB vs Gail/Madison
Bully Ray vs Abyss
Devon/Bischoff vs Robbie/Robbie
Plus the tag title match.

Not sure where to fit in Aries or RVD. Wouldnt mind them going against each other if RVD puts the same amount of effort in as he did at Sacrifice. Joe/Magnus too. MCMG would have been a great opponent but with Shelley gone thats out the window unless he sticks around for a few more weeks.

King Mo will probably wrestle too so someone like Ion or Williams will be on jobbing duty.

GTR63

Would like to see
Storm vs Roode Tna Hw title.
Bully Ray vs Abyss.
Sabin vs Aries X-Div Title.
Gail Kim vs M.Rayne vs Velvet vs Brooke KO Title.
Very happy with that Tag Title match.

It's a shame that the Samoa Joe and Magnus teaming looks to be done. Did they even get their rematch?

JP Liz V1

So the TV title and X Divison title aren't being defended at this ppv

I hope Roode retains

TV Title matches aren't needed on PPV's anymore if there is going to be a match every week on Impact.

An X-Division match could be added next week along with a knockouts match to complete the line-up.

Joe vs. Aries has been pulled from the official lineup.

No idea. Might've been miscommunication or they just jumped the gun.

Or an injury.

How many people want to see Taz vs Joey Ryan?

gnfnrhead

I'm not even sure why the match was announced to begin with. I reckon it was too early and wasn't supposed to be announced yet.

I'm disappointed with the No. 1 contender's match but other than that pretty impressive ppv card

The hell is up with Kash vs Hernandez? Unless its preshow, that is as random as can be.

I'm rather pleased about that. The latest greatest moment is probably my favourite (or at least top two):

It's actually not what you'd think it'd be for, it's for the announcement of the Joe/Steiner match at Slammiversary '06 (and yes it's probably weird that I knew that off the top of my head). If they could get that excited about every PPV match they'd probably sell a lot more PPV's. 1:26 below:

For old time TNA piss poor booking/decision making sake I am totally on board with Christian beating Crimson for the craic and then going back to WWE.

I....I kind of feel Christian in TNA should be bigger news than it seems to be. Was there any hype for this on the live show, or did they really just decide to break it via Twitter?

Also, I'm presuming this has something to do with the TNA HoF I've heard talk about? HoF trade for a HoF trade?

Just on Twitter. They are still advertising the reveal as being at the PPV so he may not even do anything. He could just be backstage.

If he does appear its almost definitely what they got in return for Flair. They didn't really have much to choose from in fairness, the only other option was The Truth. Doubt they would go with Kong this early. They are the only WWE employees who did much in TNA.

I'm glad the two companies appear to be on a similar page. They are competitors, but not on the same level so pretending the other doesn't exist (WWE to TNA) is just pointless. Acknowledge each other and it'll help the business as a whole. These little talent exchanges can't hurt either.

i would mark out if joe park appeared on the 1000th episode of raw, just have him seated in the crowd eating popcorn and drinking coke would be enough

The PPV has shaped up very nicely despite half the card being officially announced 3 days before the show, but that isn't a major gripe as most of the seeds were sewn in previous weeks.

Joe and Aries should be the show stealer, glad to see Joe getting used properly this year.

What was a bit off was that not everybody on the roster knows where the PPV is, with some saying Dallas, Texas, and others saying Arlington, Texas.

The PPV is in Arlington which is in the Dallas-Fort Worth area as far as I know.

They are beside each other, so I'm guessing the arena is somewhere in between the two. Some consider it Arlington, others consider it Dallas.

Just copped why the Aries vs Joe match is non-title. Didnt they put a weight limit in there last year?

Furious-Red

Could they have Christian inducting someone into the HOF?

Edge....Lol

Christian feuded with Jarrett a good bit and used to be allied with Styles. Could do either.

From Dixie's Twitter:

Slammiversary will be TNA's biggest PPV attendance ever, and it is close to being the biggest US attended event in our history. Come on DFW!

GTR63

Lets hope its a good crowd after the dreadful shower of miserable pricks that showed up at Lockdown.
Really looking forward to watching it Wednesday nite.

Charisteas

Either that or he cancelled that indy date to attend Slammiversary instead.

Anyone staying up?

The meet and greet in Arlington, TX for Slammiversary was said to have been a disappointment. Word is that the event was set for 7-9PM and that attendance was weak.

According to a source, almost all the fans were gone by 8PM. People that showed up late found no one around when they arrived. The wrestlers were reportedly very nice with fans in attendance, and took the time to chat with everyone since the gathering was so small.

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer

Christian will be in Dallas for the TNA Slammiversary PPV as part of the deal worked out between WWE and TNA. This is the deal that allowed Ric Flair to attend the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony this year.

At this time, there is no word on his role. We’re told he will not be in the ring and it is said to be a one-time deal.

I assume standing room, or more seats to be brought in but that looks like a lot of wasted space up by the ramp.

They haven't put the seats in yet. Good to see they're going back to the older stage (which is actually one of my favourite stages ever), the Lockdown stage didn't really work.

Karen Jarrett has been discussing the TNA Hall of Fame on Twitter and has said several times that Jeff will not be the first inductee. She has been retweeting everyone who says Jeff should be, though.

She added that neither she nor Jeff will be at the show.

Dixie Carter recently spoke with the Fight Club in Chicago and said that tonight’s TNA Slammiversary pay-per-view will be a big night for her.

Carter said, “For me personally, its going to be one of my favorite moments of my career. I’m a born and raised Dallas girl. I think that to be able to bring such a big important pay-per-view to the Dallas/Ft.Worth area in Arlington, Texas. Its going be a big night, period. But for me to have my family there, my friends there, high school friends, friends I went to college, you know, who live in that area. It’s going be a very special night.”
