Anyone watch Slammiversary? I heard it may have been the worst attendance for a major PPV ever

Given the content, a lot of people probably wouldn't want to see it for free either.

Other than the scant few names you'd remember from their old jobs (see: WWE Castoffs and WCW/ECW old-heads), there's not a lot to want to go in and see TNA's stuff unless you've been following along.

Daniels, Kazarian, AJ, Sabin, Aries and a few other still left standing come from the Indie scene and are well liked but the homegrown guys like Storm, Roode and Gunnar aren't getting the TV time they'd need to make a name for themselves without having to latch onto a bigger name.

Shit, nobody remembered that Gunnar was gone until he just showed up on TV to tag with Storm recently.

When your main eventers are a guy who was a tag-team main event 12 years ago, and a guy whose last real main event was 16 years ago, how can this not be expected? Total respect for Bully Ray and Sting ... but that has never and will never be a PPV worth paying for.

According to the feedback, apparently Taryn vs Gail Kim was really good and easily the best match on the show.

I have read a few recaps...it seems that the X-Division match, the tag team four-way, and Angle-Styles all were liked to some extent.

I didn't watch, but I gotta assume its good for TNA standards.

TNA's biggest problems though...overbooked WCW style main events at PPVs...terrible.

The tag match was great, but given the amount of talent loaded there, could have lasted a whole lot longer. As it was, the first two teams were eliminated within seconds of each other. The X-Division match was also solid, and the knockouts match was pretty damn good too.

My feelings on AJ/Angle was that the writing team has set up Angle to take the fall there, but then they received word very recently of Angle going into their HOF, and that changed the ending. For the length of match and it's billing as the "second Main Event" it should not have ended on a reversed rollup into a pin. It seems to me that they were booking AJ to be the lone wolf/Sting '97, but weren't planning on him taking the loss. Now that he did, they will probably end up having Hulk make overtures to join "Team TNA" and get his title shot at BFG now. Also, his new music sucks.

They have the talent, they just aren't using them correctly. Sting should not have main evented this show. Sure, give him a match, but definitely not the main event for the title. Time has just passed him by, and there is really no excuse, because there is plenty of talent to throw in there.

I do not really understand AJ Styles losing.

I don't understand why nobody reports Aces/8s to the damn police....what with all these hammer attacks.

It's either because of Angle's HOF night, because you really can't have Angle lose at that point, or because they are setting up him coming back into the TNA fold and being the white knight at BFG and taking the belt from Bubba at BFG.

[s@ppisgod]

The only finish you can do then is some DQ bullshit. If you can't have Angle go down, why take away all of AJ's momentum? It's decisions like these why TNA can't make any money feuds.

By the time Bound For Glory rolls around, Kurt Angle will have spent more time with TNA than he did in the WWE. Kind of crazy to think about it
