3/5 TNA Wrestling Slammiversary 2007
  by William C. Coppedge (USA)
TNA Wrestling Slammiversary June 17, 2007
This is TNA Wrestling's fifth anniversary show, and it takes place in Nashville, Tennessee it is the 3rd TNA pay per view to take place outside of the impact zone at universal studios in Orlando, Florida.

"The War Machine" Rhino & Senshi Vs. The Latin American Xchange
This match was a great way to start off a pay per view, I pick homicide as the stand out wrestler in this match but all the wrestlers worked well together. They told a good story and Hector Guerrero provided a good balance to the match. Rating 4/5

Chris Sabin (C) Vs. "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal X Division Championship
This was a good match but it was too short for me i think they deserved at least 5 to 10 more minutes. Lethal was the standout performer for this match and he was way over with the crowd this guy is gonna be a big star in the future. Rating 4/5

James Storm & Ron Killings Vs. Frank Wycheck & Jerry Lynn
This was an average match not really a good "wrestling" match but it was entertaining at moments. It served it's purpose to get the Tennessee Titans involved in their home city. Rating 3/5

Mr. Backlund Vs. Alex Shelley
This match was way too short for me with unnecessary interference, I am disappointed because I believe Shelley is way better than this and at a big stage like slammiversary they should showcase his talent. Plus after the match it was like a big circus with everybody and their mother coming out and getting involved. Rating 2/5

VKM Vs. Basham & Damaja w/ Christy Hemme
This match was way too short for a pay per view, this type of stuff should be on impact leading up to the big pay per view. I am again very disappointed with this one. Rating 2/5

"E.Y." Eric Young Vs. Robert Roode W/ Ms. Brooks
Eric Young made this match, he is a very entertaining person. This match was a breath of fresh air after the 2 previous disappointing matches. A great plus is when you get to see Ms. Brooks bare [...] now that's what I call in demand. Rating 3.5/5

Team 3D Vs. Rick Steiner & Animal TNA Tag Team Championship
It was good to see Animal back in the ring but this was way too short for any kind of a title match on a Pay Per View, again this is stuff that should've been on impact instead. Rating 2/5

"The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels Vs. "The Icon" Sting
I am a huge fan of both of these wrestlers, so this match was a huge disappointment to me as it was way too short. Again this is stuff that should've been on impact not on pay per view. Rating 2/5

Abyss Vs. Tomko No Disqualification Match
This was a pretty good match, Tomko took an amazing fall and a blackhole slam on some shattered glass. Tomko was also hitting Abyss with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire. These guys put on a good show. Rating 3.5/5

King Of The Mountain Match For The TNA World Championship
Christian Cage Vs. Kurt Angle Vs. AJ Styles Vs. Samoa Joe Vs. Chris Harris
This was an awesome match it totally saved the pay per view. It was without a shadow of a doubt the best match of the night. This one is full of excitement and will keep you entertained until the very end. The dvd is worth buying for this match alone. Rating 5/5

This was a good show but there were way too many matches on the card which caused most of the matches to be way too short and alot of these matches were TV quality stuff and should not have been on pay per view. It is worth buying for the main event alone TNA collectors should buy it but if you are new to TNA I would buy Bound For Glory Or Genesis from 2007.


4/5 TNA Slammiversary 2007 is a 4 star ppv
  by lex Fryling (PA)
80-76%-perfect
75-71%-awsome
70-66%-good
65-61%-poor
60-56%-awful

1. Rhino and Senshi vs. LAX- I thought this was a good way to start off the ppv. I really liked both teams as I liked the power game by LAX and the speed by Senshi really worked well in this match. The one thing that I wish would have happened is I wish they would have gave it more time but it was a solid tag match with some near falls which made it entertaining. Winners Rhino and Senshi. Match Rating 7.5/10.
2. Chris Sabin vs. Black Machismo Jay Lethal for the X-Division Title- I really enjoyed this X-Division match. Sabin has had a long reign with that title so it added to the hype of this match. Not everyone really liked the new character of Lethal but I thought it was pretty cool. These two really worked well together as there was even a suplex on the outside of the ring. Lots of near falls lead to a great title match. Winner and new X-Division Champ Black Machismo Jay Lethal. Match Rating 8/10.
3. Frank Wycheck and Jerry Lynn vs. James Storm and Ron the Truth Killings- Now going into this match there was a lot of question of if this was going to be a bad match cause a football player was in it and not a wrestler well let me say I thought Wycheck did a great job for his first time. Jerry Lynn was the perfect partner as he worked really weel as storm match up with Wycheck's strength and killings matched up with lynn's speed. Pretty good match with back and forth action. Winner Frank Wycheck and Jerry Lynn. Match Rating 7/10.
4. Mr. Backlund vs. Alex Shelly- This to me was a awful match. I was not expecting a lot going into this match and that was not because of shelly that was because of backlund as I did not know why a almost 60 year old was in the ring. This was a 3 minute match at best and a total blow off. Winner Alex Shelly. Match Rating 2/10.
5. The Voodoo Kin Mafia vs. Basham and Damaja with Christy Hemme- This was yet another match that could have been kept off the card as it was another awful match and the crowd did not care about this match. This was kept short which was a good thing. Not much to say. Winners The Voodoo Kin Mafia. Match Rating 3/10.
6. Erie Young vs. Robert Roode with Mrs. Brooks in a Freedom Match- This was accualty a pretty good match even though these two have had a feud going on forever. I really liked the way Eric Young looked in this match as he had some high flying moves including a cross body off the top rope to the outside,. There were some funny parts in the match to including Eric pantsing Mrs. Brooks. The match restarted after Roode hit young with the chair and got the pin. Winner Eric Young. Match Rating 7.5/10.
7. Sting vs. Christopher Daniels- This was set up very well with a very good storyline and I was really excited for this match as they had a good feud going into it. The problem here is this match only got 7 minutes at best that is because they had the crap like VKM and Backlund on the card. Thes two did the best they could with there time and put on a solid match. Winner Sting. Match Rating 6.5/10.
8. Team 3D vs. Rick Stiner and Animal for the TNA Tag Team Championships- This was supposed to be stiner's vs. 3D but Scott got hurt and could not wrestle. These two teams really tried here but I think that age played a big part in the match as these two teams looked slow. An okay match but its to bad Scott got hurt. Winners and still TNA Tag Team Champs Team 3D. Match Rating 5/10.
9. Abyss vs. Tomko in a No DQ Match- Here is the surprise on the card. This match was not even booked for the ppv except a couple days before and it turned out to be the second best match on the show. This was a brutal match and it fit both men's style which is hardcore. There were so many sweet parts in the match including a blackhole slam into the glass and even a powerbomb type move into the tumbtacks. A great match put on by both men. Winner Abyss. Match Rating 9/10.
10. Christian Cage vs. Kurt Angle vs. A.J. Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Chris Harris in a King Of The Mountain Match for the TNA World Heavywieght Title- Wow was this a great way to close the show. The crowd had been hot alnight but this is the hottest that they had ever been. This was set up a lot better than last years. The match was non stop action all the way thorugh. The best part of the match to me was Joe and Styles were on the tope of the cage and joe through him off the cage through a table below. There was also a sick spear by Chris Harris taking Christian off the ladder. Very good main event. Winner and new TNA World Heavywieght Champ Kurt Angle. Match Rating 10/10.

Well that raps up another. I would give TNA Slammiversary 2007 a grade of 65.5/100 which is a 66% which means this is a good ppv. It just makes that grade by a percent and this could have been a lot better of a ppv if they had left a couple matches off the card. Still a solid event and I think that you should pick it up. IF you can tell me if my review was helpful or not I would appreciate that. Thanks for your time.


4/5 ????? about an edit job on the disc
  by Jason Burnett (Mobile, Al)
I just wanted to know if anyone else notice the horrible edit during the Abyss/Tomko match where after Tomko got thrown off the top of the stage it then cuts to him walking away and the announcers talking about Abyss diving onto him? I think that is just horrible why edit your own product like that? Other than that, the event was alright with the KOTM match being the best.

1/5 Before it went downhill

I love TNA and this PPV is amazing, as well as all the other TNA PPVS. TNA was the future of the wrestling world but now its just anther company. Come on TNA fans, you cant stand up for this company anymore. Kurt Angle attacks WWE in a short movie and they were nice enough to let this guy go to heal injurys? What a friggin crybaby. TNA is now giving Angle and his wife more air time now and everything is turning into crap. Total Nonstop Angle is what TNA now stands for. I watched Impact and its always good with top notch wrestling. Angle killed the show and took all the time for himself. TNA is just like Smackdown of a few years ago with basically all the same talent but a few missing pieces. I mean for god sakes they are talking about bringing in Brock Lesnar! That wont do anything, Angle couldnt even save this company from a miserable 1.0 rating. Hell, as much as ECW sucks they get a higher rating then that. I cant believe any fan of TNA would critize me for writing this review when you know its true. OH ITS DAMN TRUE! They even signed Pac Man Jones for god sakes. Dustin Runnels was signed but you havent heard anything about him in a few weeks, they probably figured it was for the best. Andrew Martin gets a semi main event slot on the last PPV? what the hell is that about? TNA started off with there version of what if WCW lived and then they got rid of that and started getting on the right track. Then they just crapped that all away but signing the likes of Brother Runt (now released), The Steiners, Dustin Runnels, I mean just a slew of crappy talent. While the real talent like Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, and Christphor Daniels get put on the back burner. Joe lost to Angle because of Karen Angle, yea good job TNA. AJ Styles in now just a comic foil to Christian, and Daniels is just losing. Christian is a great guy but he cant wrestle to save his life. Sorry Christian, i love you and all but you cant wrestle all to well. TNA SUCKS! WWE SUCKS! Whats next?

5/5 Slammiversary: Great DVD
  by O. Diaz (Mexico)
This is an awesome PPV, but the undercard is very weak, but the King Of The Mountain match is one of the best in TNA.
