TNA Wrestling: Slammiversary 2007 [DVD]

I like the cover art on this DVD. It's a take off on the Johnny Cash "Walk The Line" poster. Instead of Johnny Cash we've got Jeff Jarrett on the poster now. Jeff didn't actually wrestle at Slammiversary however.I was at this event in Nashville, TN. It was a good pro wrestling pay-per-view.I got a kick out of watching the DVD extra that showed the fans at the T.N.A. Fanfest standing in line and then later meeting the wrestlers. I met Kevin Nash and Kurt Angle there. WWE should do the same thing before every PPV.Hard to believe that this PPV marked the five-year anniversary of TNA. I loved it when they ran a PPV every Wednesday night at the Nashville Fairgrounds.

I attended this event live and it was one of the best PPV events I have ever attended. Those fools below are talking about crap that has nothing to do with this exact show so their reviews are pointless. Abyss vs Tomko was brutal and the main event was 4 1/2 stars easy.

The LAX(Homicide & Hernandez)-Rhino/Senshi tag team match was a great opener. The Chris Sabin-Jay Lethal-X Division title match was also great. The James Storm/Ron Killings-Frank Wycheck/Jerry Lynn tag team match was surprisingly good. The Alex Shelly-Bob Backlund match was short but not that bad. The Vooddo Kin Mafia(BG James & Kip James)-Basham/Damaja tag team match was short but not sweet. The Robert Roode-Eric Young-Free or Fired match was not great but pretty good. The Team 3D(Brother Ray & Brother Devon)-Rick Steiner/Road Warrior Animal-Tag Team title match was watchable at best. The Christopher Daniels-Sting match while not a bad match,it was too rushed for it's own good. The No DQ match between Tomko & Abyss was smash-mouth,hardcore,extreme brawl. The King of the Mountain match to crown the first ever TNA champion(Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe vs Christian Cage vs AJ Styles vs Chris Harris) was a hard-hitting,smash-mouth,awesome brawl. I give this PPV a 7 out of 10.

Thank you.Protect great conditionWorks great

Great thanks

My first review was how I thought TNA was going into the dumps because off all the former WWE stars they signed and how TNA ignored the X-division. Well I watched this PPV and it sucked. Heres a run downRhino & Senshi VS LAX: A weird mix of Senshi and Rhino. I like how Tenay summed up the match in the beginning. The match itself was good.Note: Does Rhino have the worst luck in wrestling? He is given a spotlight for awhile and then its taken away from him. Then he is stuck in hardcore matches and is always beaten. Poor Rhino.Chris Sabin VS "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal: The ONLY reason to watch TNA.Wycheck & Jerry Lynn VS Jason Storm & Ron Killings: Why does TNA bring in football players to wreslte? Right because WCW did so. I dont think it ever got them ratings though.Bob Backlund VS Alex Shelley: Ive been liking Alex Shelley more lately, he is a great wrestler. Backlund can still go but I disagree with the reviewer who said he is more fit and stronger then Flair. I didnt like the ending to the match.VKM VS Basham & Damaja: Ah, VKM. Wishing it was 1999 all over again so they can get so love. Well they way TNA is heading, they'll probably have there wish sooner or later.Robert Roode VS Eric Young: Never liked Eric Young or the woman beater. There feud had a good story line if I actully cared about the wreslters in the match.Team 3D VS Rick Steiner & Animal: Short match but I did enjoy it. Isn't Animal under WWE contract as a road agent or something?Sting VS Christopher Daniels: A short match and very pointless. Daniels needs more to do in TNA then jobbing to Sting.Abyss VS Tomko: One reason why I got this PPV and I was disappointed. It was a typical hardcore match and the edited a scene. The ending were Tomoko got the Black Hole Slam on the glass was stupid. The glass looked very fake but good job to Tomko for selling it.King of the Mountain Match- Kurt Angle VS Christian VS Samoa Joe VS Chris Harris VS AJ Styles: One of the dumbest matches in the history of wrestling. Yes, it did have alot of cool spots but I thought the match and how it played out sucked.Overall, anther TNA disappointment. Ive watched alot of TNA PPV and I really cant find one that doesnt have a two matches I skip over. The matches that are always good are x-division and the tag team matches from 2005. The main events are usual always bad.

As I type this I have literally jsut finished watching the DVD. I bought it because I miss a lot of TNA PPV's (as it is hard for me to watch them when they are aired) and I was not dissapointed.I won't do a match for match review but I will say that if you are a fan of TNA, this is a must have DVD for your collection. Every single match is fast-paced and solid, Add to that the fact that the crowd is mega-hyped and you have a truly awesome PPV. Highlgihts of the show for me were the King of the Mountain match, Abyss and Tomko's NoDQ brawl and the opener between LAX and Rhino/Senshi. This PPV is a prime example of why TNA is beating WWE in UK ratings.Also on the PPV is a performance of the catchy Slammiversary theme "Boom Boom" by LoCash Cowboys, which is worth a view as it is one awesome song.DVD extras include James Storm vs Chris Harris in their brawl from "iMPACT", footage of the TNA FanFest a Photo Gallery and a music video featuring the best moments of the first 5 years of TNA set to "Fighter" by Candlefuse.A great PPV with some nice DVD Extras = a Five Star DVD. A msut have for any TNA/ Wrestling fan.
