TNA Slammiversary - June 12th, 2016

What the fuck is going on with Matt Hardy's hair?!

I think he's going through a mid life crisis. 😉

For anyone who doesn't know Full Metal Mayhem is TNA's name for TLC. As far as I can remember every Hardy vs Hardy match has always been underwhelming.

Knockout or tap out is such a random gimmick for the main event.  But I finally had enough and I stopped watching Impact every week so I don't really know the whole build.

The Hardy's try to do a Lucha Underground style vignette with no money or acting skills.

They aired this on TV for fucks sake.

That was an all time low... I think I've seen back yard promotions act better...

Jesus Christ.

What the fuck was that?! It's like they were on drugs. That has to be up there with one of the worst wrestling promos ever made, especially from pros. The camera work was awful as well - twice they span around Matt and Jeff as they were talking and it just made things seem weirder. That whole thing was just weird. And so, so bad.

"ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU SAID MATT!!"

"IT IS, BROTHER NERO, IT IS!"

For fuck sake.

For what it's worth their wrestlemania match was pretty good. I think it was a street fight or some kind of hard-core match. Ended with a swanton with Matt wrapped in barb wire...May or may not have been through a table

Their WrestleMania match finished with a Twist of Fate on a steel chair. However, that spot with the Swanton happened in their rematch at Backlash in an I Quit match. Something like Matt quit to stop Jeff from jumping on him - but Jeff ended up jumping on him anyway... and yes, there was a table. 🙂

Cool thought so. Yea I remember that feud being pretty good, but the other 3 or 4 not so much

Lol I can't believe no one watched that at TNA and said we gotta do this again. Matt Hardy is fucking retarded. I couldn't even watch it, I fet so embarrassed for them. I've made better more serious promos in my backyard then that man......just wow

Oh man, I still can't get over that video. It's so bad, and made worse by TNA actually airing it.

The updated card is:

• World Championship “Knockout or Tapout” Match: Drew Galloway vs. Lashley
• World Tag Team Championship Match: The Decay vs. The BroMans
• KOTM Championship Match: Eli Drake vs. Bram
• Full Metal Mayhem: Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy
• Mike Bennett vs. Ethan Carter III
• Maria Kanellis vs. Gail Kim

TNA released a parody video of Matt and Jeff's video. Gotta admit its pretty funny. I love how EC3 is wearing a piece of toilet paper to mimic Matt's hair.

Looks like a decent enough card. TNA only does like two PPVs a year now, so each one should be treated like a big deal. For what they have to work with, I think this is solid. No X-Division title match it looks like, why even have that title anymore?

So it looks like Maria won't be on the card any more, she has broken her hand or something. So the match that they have been building to for months now is scrapped. Could be for the better, maybe they will bring someone in at the last second to come in and tear down the house with Gail Kim...

Pretty sure that's gonna be a work.  They just posted a picture on Impact's Facebook this morning...looks like nothing is wrong from an untrained eye, but it can't be that difficult to see a break on an X-Ray hahaha!

Not really sure where they're going with this and why...but, I'll take it.  Maybe they'll bring in someone else like you said, Sery.  It could be very real as on their site they zoomed in on it and circled where the break is.  So, who knows??

I think its legit, she posted a photo wearing a cast at the start of May saying her hand was broken. It was probably done at the last tapings and expected it to be healed come PPV time. One of the perils of block tapings as they've done all the promoting and now can't fulfil on it.

So true.

I must be crazy but I'm considering buying the show. What's wrong with me

Spend it on a cheap hooker instead. You'd probably end up feeling less dirty than if you'd watched this show.

Thats a little extreme. I just usually am bored on Sunday night. Plus I think there are few matches on the card that could be worth watching. Also i read something about Jeff hardy wanting to top what Shane did at Mania. I'm interested in that on account of it could be the last reallly crazy moment we could see from Jeff.

Save your money and watch Lucha Underground. Skip to the series 1 finale, Ultima Lucha. It is 100 times better than what Slammiversary will be.  A video of Jeff Hardy jumping off something very high will be on social media minutes after it airs anyway.

Yeah I have over half of season one to watch of Lucha haha. I'm in it for the long haul, I bought season one I gotta finish the whrile thing. I think I'll just download this show tomorrow

Maria isn't wrestling. Her injury is legit. Instead they had Maria come out and cut a promo. Then Billy Corgan came out and confirmed it, but said Gail will get her match when Maria is cleared. Then Corgan put Gail into the knockouts championship match. So we have a triple threat now
