00:01:56We unite our history!

00:01:59We embrace our true identity!

00:02:02And we deliver total, non-stop action!

00:02:06TNA has the best damn wrestlers in the world!

00:02:09Breaking news! Slammiversary is officially sold out!

00:02:13We are always going to give you the absolute best!

00:02:17Is there a company doing better pay-per-view than TNA right now?

00:02:20The highest-attended event in over a decade is sold out!

00:02:24I believe we are in store for one of the biggest shows in TNA history!

00:02:30Slammiversary!

00:02:39I know I've been waiting to die.

00:02:45Never feel quite satisfied.

00:02:51A silent song,

00:02:54for the tongue,

00:02:56so easily undone.

00:02:59This isn't anything I could have dreamed of in my wildest dreams.

00:03:03And a vision of an elegant future

00:03:07Dance before you hear!

00:03:09At Slammiversary, I'm going to be out to prove that not only am I one of the best TNA knockouts in history,

00:03:15I hope Jordan Graves knows what she's gotten into!

00:03:19but that I'm one of the best wrestlers in the world.

00:03:29If TNA works for them, that means you're the guy here.

00:03:33Whether you like it or not, that's what that title means.

00:03:36That's what we work for.

00:03:37You're not here for the world title, but what do you do to make it so?

00:03:40The system is unbeatable!

00:03:44I'm unbeatable!

00:03:46I have fought tooth and nail ever since coming back last year

00:03:49to once again be TNA World Champion.

00:03:52You want to know what I'm willing to do?

00:03:54That was just a whole lot, Justin.

00:03:56What do you think I'm willing to do to earn it, Justin?

00:03:58The TNA Championship is the culmination of everything.

00:04:01If you think about the TNA World Championship,

00:04:04you are talking about the greats.

00:04:06You are talking about champions of champions.

00:04:10And now it is time that I add my name to that list.

00:04:14I did not come to TNA to be good at wrestling.

00:04:18I came to TNA to become world champion

00:04:20and become the best damn wrestler ever.

00:04:22I'm on my way.

00:04:30Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Slammiversary.

00:05:00This is your Slammiversary opening contest.

00:05:03And for a one-fall, introducing first,

00:05:06from the Hardy compound in Cameron, North Carolina,

00:05:09Broken Matt Hardy!

00:05:17The Broken One is out for revenge tonight

00:05:20to begin Slammiversary.

00:05:22This past Thursday night on Impact,

00:05:24the system took out his brother, Chuck Hardy,

00:05:28in the midst of the TNA World Tag Team title match.

00:05:31And then JDC took out Rebecca Hardy backstage.

00:05:37The system continues to make an imprint

00:05:41on every piece of TNA,

00:05:44including the Broken One and his family.

00:05:58His opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, JDC!

00:06:11JDC, who played a part in taking out Jeff Hardy,

00:06:15who was hospitalized and still not yet medically clear to travel.

00:06:19Meanwhile, Rebecca Hardy, badly shaken up

00:06:22but able to travel back home to Cameron, North Carolina.

00:06:25JDC responsible for the actions

00:06:28against Jeff Hardy and Rebecca Hardy.

00:06:32And very proud of it,

00:06:35working on behalf of the system here.

00:06:37Hold on, hold on!

00:06:39And Matt Hardy is charging at JDC!

00:06:42This match is not yet officially underway.

00:06:44The bell has not yet rung.

00:06:46Matt Hardy attacking JDC at his entrance.

00:06:49And you can understand why.

00:06:54Broken Matt Hardy has absolutely snapped

00:06:57and this match hasn't even begun!

00:07:02This past Thursday night,

00:07:04Matt Hardy endured the worst night of his life

00:07:07thanks to JDC and the system.

00:07:12Everybody around the world was talking about the return

00:07:15of the Hardys right here at TNA.

00:07:19That party was spoiled by JDC and the system.

00:07:24Smashing JDC into a timekeeper's table.

00:07:27JDC sent into the ring.

00:07:29Again, the match is not officially yet underway.

00:07:31JDC will take the other side.

00:07:34JDC getting out of dodge here.

00:07:37Oh, wait a minute.

00:07:38Referee Daniel Spencer taking away the American flag.

00:07:41Oh, but JDC using the flagpole to attack Matt Hardy.

00:07:46And again, the match is not officially underway.

00:07:48This is illegal.

00:07:51And now, just before this has even begun,

00:07:54Matt Hardy has truly been broken.

00:07:57Ring the bell!

00:07:58Call for the bell.

00:07:59This match is officially underway.

00:08:02Our first action of Slammiversary.

00:08:04And there goes Matt Hardy, sternum first,

00:08:06into the top turnbuckle.

00:08:10And again, we've already said it several times,

00:08:12before this match even began,

00:08:15you saw that Curtis here

00:08:18already attacked, brutalized the ribs of Matt Hardy.

00:08:22Hashtag TNA Slammiversary

00:08:24already trending at number nine on social media.

00:08:28A huge night for TNA.

00:08:31Starting off in fiery personal fashion here.

00:08:35These fans in Montreal

00:08:37trying to get under the skin of Johnny Dango Curtis.

00:08:40Oh, the boot right to the head.

00:08:42Hanging up Matt Hardy on the top rope.

00:08:44Again.

00:08:45Cover.

00:08:46Hook to the leg here.

00:08:47Hardy able to stay in it.

00:08:49Prior to that boot, Curtis going after the ribs,

00:08:52the midsection,

00:08:54the core of Matt Hardy.

00:08:57Matt Hardy firing back series of blows here.

00:09:00Can understand the motivation of Matt Hardy

00:09:02looking for some payback on behalf of his family.

00:09:05And a back elbow there by JDC.

00:09:07There's no doubt about that.

00:09:08Of course he is.

00:09:09But the thing is about that rage.

00:09:11Rage can make you blind, Tom.

00:09:14You don't think straight.

00:09:15You just see red.

00:09:17And that adrenaline is all well and good,

00:09:20but it sometimes throws your plans out the window.

00:09:23Curtis biting the forehead of Matt Hardy.

00:09:26Hey, turnabout's fair play, Hannafin.

00:09:29That was before the match had even begun.

00:09:31Now this match is legal.

00:09:32He can get disqualified here.

00:09:34And Daniel Spencer all over JDC.

00:09:41And ever since the bell officially rang,

00:09:43it has been all dango.

00:09:45All Johnny Curtis here.

00:09:51Think about what Curtis has done on behalf of his sister.

00:09:53Made sure that Mike Santana did not win

00:09:56his Road to Slingerversary qualifying matchup

00:09:58against Frankie Kazarian.

00:10:00That put Kazarian in the TNA world title match.

00:10:03We'll see later on tonight.

00:10:04Oh, he kept Santana out of the title picture.

00:10:07Meanwhile, it was Matt Hardy himself

00:10:09returning to this company and rebelling back in April.

00:10:12Surprising the TNA world champion, Moose,

00:10:15has been out to destroy the system ever since.

00:10:18Meanwhile, you want to talk about returning to TNA.

00:10:21Oh!

00:10:22What a down and dirty, the leg drop there

00:10:25but came up empty.

00:10:26The hardest part of the ring there.

00:10:28That's a nasty way to fall there.

00:10:31Ooh!

00:10:32And broken Matt Hardy from behind.

00:10:34Now brutalizing Curtis on the apron.

00:10:39Again, that rage just boiling through the skin

00:10:43of broken Matt Hardy coming to the surface here.

00:10:51It has been said before that Matt Hardy

00:10:53will not die, cannot die,

00:10:56and neither will his rage here tonight

00:10:58at Slingerversary.

00:11:01Matt Hardy is stronger than death.

00:11:03Suplex there.

00:11:05The broken one is in control.

00:11:10Think about the lengths he was willing to go to

00:11:12under siege to try and dispatch the system

00:11:15to send out against all odds against Moose.

00:11:20And now the elbow drop from the corner.

00:11:26Now you just heard it from the broken one's mouth.

00:11:30Wants to look for a twist of fate

00:11:33to put Curtis away.

00:11:36There's a time.

00:11:37Oh, one of the twists of fate.

00:11:39JDC able to block it.

00:11:40Side effect!

00:11:43Is that enough?

00:11:44Cover by Hardy.

00:11:45Oh, and Curtis gets the shoulder up in time.

00:11:58And now wants to twist of fate a second time.

00:12:00Curtis has an answer for it.

00:12:02Trying to set up Matt Hardy.

00:12:04Pulls him over for the Falcon Arrow.

00:12:06Plants the broken one dead center of the ring.

00:12:10And now Dango goes up top.

00:12:13Thinking about downing Dirty once again

00:12:16and it's warded by Matt Hardy.

00:12:20Nasty landing for Dango there.

00:12:26And now Matt Hardy twist of fate

00:12:29from the second turnbuckle.

00:12:31Cover!

00:12:33Matt Hardy gets a measure of revenge.

00:12:37Here's your winner.

00:12:41And I don't think Matt Hardy's done.

00:12:45Another twist of fate.

00:12:47Oh, come on.

00:12:48The match is over.

00:12:49Your point has been made.

00:12:55A third twist of fate.

00:13:03That was for Jack!

00:13:05That was for Rebecca!

00:13:11And this crowd here in Montreal

00:13:14indulging the bloodlust of broken Matt Hardy.

00:13:23A rocking start for the system here

00:13:26to begin Slammiversary.

00:13:32Perhaps a premonition of things to come tonight in Montreal.

00:13:39It's the all-new TNAmerch.com

00:13:42your one-stop shop for all things total non-stop action.

00:13:45And we, we trust them.

00:13:48We believe.

00:13:50Trust the system.

00:14:01We have something for everyone at the all-new TNAmerch.com.

00:14:06Order now before it's all gone.

00:14:09Do you want to know something?

00:14:11That's right, I did exactly what I said I was going to do.

00:14:14Me and Masha, the militia,

00:14:16we walked out still knockout tag champions.

00:14:19That's right.

00:14:20Lish and Masha, they retained.

00:14:22Proving again that the system works.

00:14:25And it will not happen with us tonight.

00:14:28Ace and Bae, maybe one day you boys can be great.

00:14:31But that's certainly not right now.

00:14:33And that's not tonight.

00:14:34You see, Slammiversary is for the system.

00:14:37And the system is great.

00:14:42You see, most world champions

00:14:44would bitch about being in a match like this.

00:14:47But when you're as dominant,

00:14:49this world champion,

00:14:52But when you're as dominant,

00:14:54this great as I am,

00:14:56you understand,

00:14:57you have to go through harder obstacles.

00:15:00And tonight,

00:15:02in Montreal,

00:15:04in front of the biggest house TNA's had in the past 10 years,

00:15:10I once again show the world

00:15:13why you always

00:15:15trust

00:15:17Slamm.

00:15:21Well, Moose, very confident.

00:15:23Why shouldn't he be?

00:15:24Alicia kicked the night off.

00:15:26This could be a huge night for the system.

00:15:28JDC just dropped the ball on behalf of the system.

00:15:31He's the drama king, Matthew Rawal.

00:15:33I'm Tom Hanage.

00:15:34And the world is watching Slammiversary.

00:15:36And we are in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

00:15:38So with that, this is our French commentary team.

00:15:40Handsome JF and Marc Blondy.

00:15:44Ladies and gentlemen,

00:15:46it's time to read

00:15:56Marc Blondy is ready.

00:16:04Oh, what a night.

00:16:06Slammiversary,

00:16:08a dream for the people of Montreal.

00:16:10Exactly.

00:16:11It's going to be a crazy night.

00:16:13As I said, all the titles are at stake.

00:16:15Will Moose keep his belt?

00:16:17Will PCO win his title?

00:16:19Will Mike Bailey become division champion?

00:16:42against the No Quarter Catch Crew of NXT.

00:16:45And the DTNA digital media title

00:16:47and the international...

00:16:49Excuse me.

00:16:50We're going to go ahead with the TNA Knockouts World Championship

00:16:54as Jordan Grace defends against Ash by Elegance.

00:16:56And not just presented by DTNA,

00:16:57available everywhere you rent or buy movies,

00:17:01Also still to come tonight,

00:17:02Mike Bailey will challenge Mustafa Ali

00:17:05for the X Division Championship.

00:17:07And of course,

00:17:09it is all about the TNA World Championship.

00:17:12Moose defends his title in a six-way elimination match

00:17:15against Alexander, Kazarian, Nemet, Hendry, and Macklin.

00:17:20And also this match is in a matter of moments

00:17:22for the TNA World Tag Team titles.

00:17:25Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards of the System

00:17:27will defend against the ABC.

00:17:30Before we get to that matchup,

00:17:31we want to send a special thank you to Westside Gunn

00:17:34for the official theme song of Slammiversary.

00:17:37You can hear it now.

00:17:38Chocolate Face by Westside Gunn

00:17:40featuring DJ Khaled off the upcoming album

00:17:43Fly God is an Awesome God 3

00:17:46coming this fall.

00:17:48As I mentioned, we are set for the TNA World Tag Team title match

00:17:52this evening in Montreal,

00:17:53sold out at the Verdun Auditorium.

00:17:56These are the taglines.

00:17:58The ABC are set to enact their contractual rematch

00:18:02for the TNA World Tag Team titles

00:18:04from back at Sacrifice

00:18:06when they were dethroned by Edwards and Myers.

00:18:08The System have retained so far

00:18:10against the Motor City Machine Guns,

00:18:12Speedball Mountain, the Nemets, and the Hardys.

00:18:15The ABC, meanwhile, have won their last three tag team matches

00:18:18against four different teams.

00:18:21The tag team titles are on the line now.

00:18:25The following contest is set for one fall

00:18:28and it is for the TNA World Tag Team Championship.

00:18:33Introducing the challengers,

00:18:35the team of the ultimate finesser, Chris Bay,

00:18:38inevitable ace, Austin,

00:18:40the ABCs!

00:18:44And speaking of the ABCs,

00:18:46it's time for the TNA World Tag Team Championship.

00:18:50The ABCs!

00:18:53And speaking of tunes,

00:18:54some new entrance music for the ABC.

00:18:57This song is called ABC

00:18:59and it's performed by Chris Bay

00:19:01and his partner, No Name Tim.

00:19:03It'll be available wherever you get your music

00:19:05on Monday, August 5th.

00:19:07But the opportunity at hand is this for the ABC.

00:19:10Can they capture their third TNA World Tag Team Championship?

00:19:15Their contractual rematch about to go down tonight.

00:19:20TNA World Tag Team Championships

00:19:22TNA World Tag Team Championships

00:19:26TNA World Tag Team Championships

00:19:30TNA World Tag Team Championships

00:19:37Their opponents, being accompanied by Alicia Edwards,

00:19:40representing the system.

00:19:42They are the reigning and defending

00:19:44TNA World Tag Team Champions,

00:19:47Eddie Edwards and the most professional wrestler, Ryan Myers.

00:19:54Representing the system and clear as day, representing the U.S. of A.

00:20:01Myers, Edwards, Alicia out here representing the system for the tag team title match.

00:20:08And Tom, you said it in the tag lines.

00:20:10They have defended those titles against some of the best of the best here in TNA.

00:20:16Hold on, I wouldn't use the word defended. I would say retained.

00:20:19Considering what we saw this past Thursday night, I would hardly call that a defense.

00:20:23The involvement of JDC, sending Jeff Hardy to the hospital. It was a disqualification, Ray Walt.

00:20:29Your favorite punctuation mark is an asterisk, alright?

00:20:32Who cares? A result is a result. The record book states it.

00:20:36The system and your champions, they have beaten champions.

00:20:39They are the best of the best right now. I hope ABC is at the top of their game.

00:20:44Edwards and Myers have controlled the TNA World Tag Team titles now for 134 days.

00:20:51This group, this system, is draped in gold.

00:20:55They have drawn comparisons to some of the best factions we've ever seen in TNA.

00:21:00The likes of the Main Event Mafia and Immortal.

00:21:03The way that they have dominated this company the last seven months.

00:21:072024 has belonged to the system.

00:21:11There is no doubt about it.

00:21:13And you mentioned in the lead up to this match that Chris Bay and Ace Austin,

00:21:19they've waited quite a bit to enact their contractual rematch.

00:21:23There was a brief amount of tension between them as individuals,

00:21:26as well as them just trying to ready themselves to make sure they were in prime position to take those titles back.

00:21:33I would like to point out, however, on the countdown to Slammiversary,

00:21:38Spitfire found themselves in a similar situation.

00:21:41Getting themselves ready, they wanted to be sure before they took their contractual rematch.

00:21:46How did that turn out for Spitfire? Will it be a similar fate for the ABC?

00:21:52ABC donning the pink and black this evening in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

00:21:57Most colors have had some bad luck in this town.

00:22:00I don't know if that's a good or bad omen for ABC.

00:22:03You don't need to speak French to understand what's being said here tonight inside Verdun Auditorium.

00:22:09Not a lot of system fans here, am I right?

00:22:13This is Ace Austin going after Brian Myers, who just last night on Explosion,

00:22:18on TNA Plus, pinned Brian Myers one-on-one.

00:22:22Singles match, as anybody who's stepped between the ropes knows,

00:22:25very, very different territory, very different strategy from tag team action.

00:22:33Austin with a knee right to the head, going for the side rush with a leg sweep.

00:22:38Boom, click, click, boom there from Austin.

00:22:40And now Eddie Edwards dives into the fray.

00:22:42Austin able to level Edwards, tackling Bay is legal.

00:22:47Here's some early double team action from ABC here in Montreal.

00:22:53Look out!

00:22:55Double dropkick right to the head.

00:22:57Edwards rolls out, Myers is still legal.

00:23:00Hold on, can we see another heart attack tonight?

00:23:03We did see one!

00:23:05There's a cover, shoulders down and a kick out.

00:23:08Everybody paying homage.

00:23:11When in Rome, as they say, will it be enough though here to bring home the tag team titles for ABC?

00:23:19The ABC have the opportunity to tie the Motor City Machine Guns and the Good Brothers.

00:23:24Hold on, here's the cover, hook to the leg and a kick out by Myers.

00:23:28The chance to tie the Guns and the Good Brothers.

00:23:30These teams will have won the TNA World Tag Team Championship three times.

00:23:34That mark is only exceeded by LAX.

00:23:37That's Santana and Ortiz with four.

00:23:39The Wolves with four.

00:23:41That's Eddie Edwards' whole tag team.

00:23:43And of course, Beer Money Inc. with five.

00:23:50And right now it is not looking good to retain on a kick out.

00:23:56It is not looking good for the chances of ABC adding to that record book, adding to that legacy.

00:24:03Not right now if the system have anything to say about it.

00:24:15These are two teams that have been involved and tangled with each other all for about eight months.

00:24:23The final pay-per-view under the Impact Wrestling banner.

00:24:26Final resolution right here in Canada, in Toronto.

00:24:31These guys go back a ways.

00:24:33And I think that's why ABC did take their time enacting their rematch.

00:24:37Because they know the threat.

00:24:41They know the threat that the system is.

00:24:43Myers and Edwards in particular.

00:24:45Alicia Edwards able to retain alongside Masha Slavich.

00:24:48The knockouts World Tag Team titles in the countdown to Slammiversary.

00:24:52JDC got broken by Matt Hardy to kick off Slammiversary.

00:24:58This is a critical night for the system.

00:25:00Oh, and Alicia Edwards.

00:25:02Paige brings the ball and distracted there by Eddie Edwards.

00:25:05Trying to calm down Ace Austin.

00:25:08And Alicia Edwards doing her damage there against Chris Beck.

00:25:12And that's why the system works.

00:25:15Because they work the system they're in.

00:25:21Talking a little trash right to Ace Austin.

00:25:23The system can't corral Chris Beck.

00:25:25And a tag made.

00:25:26Austin's legal.

00:25:27Double dropkick by the inevitable one.

00:25:32Fast and furious there.

00:25:33Dumping the system to the outside.

00:25:36You'll see the look in Chris Beck's eyes.

00:25:39The ultimate finesse is gonna take to their skies.

00:25:42Over the top rope.

00:25:44Bring out the system.

00:25:46And doing it with style.

00:25:48Slammiversary.

00:25:49Go long.

00:25:52Take another look at Chris Beck.

00:25:54He's coming.

00:25:55He's coming.

00:25:56He's coming.

00:25:57He's coming.

00:25:58He's coming.

00:25:59He's coming.

00:26:00He's coming.

00:26:01He's coming.

00:26:02He's coming.

00:26:03He's coming.

00:26:04take another look at Chris Bay through the air taking down both members of the

00:26:09system a little too sweet process but you got to get it done in the center of

00:26:17the ring Alicia Edwards up on the apron oh he's awesome careful when you throw

00:26:24that ham hock of a leg there now Myers getting the attention of the official

00:26:29Eddie Edwards awesome face first into the apron

00:26:37I just might have something in his eye there Tom it's very dangerous here man

00:26:41you're in the ring you got to make sure you can see it was clear as day as what

00:26:46all three members of the system

00:26:50Oh driving Austin's spine first

00:27:08ABC fans north of the border here in Montreal but all the chance in the world

00:27:17cannot stop the storm that is Brian Myers

00:27:31while they represent the red white and blue there's a couple hold on to the

00:27:35titles in a kick-out nothing wrong at all with that you know if the ABC would

00:27:39stop doing playing a little bit of heart foundation cosplay maybe they'd be

00:27:43winning this match right now instead of getting brutalized in the center of the

00:27:47canvas another cover hold on to the championship and a kick-out another

00:27:52cover shoulders down and again Edwards looking extremely frustrated there's a

00:27:57long history between Edwards and Austin in this company these two despise each

00:28:01other no doubt about that I'd like to point out Edwards is the only man in

00:28:06this matchup as he adds a little insult to injury here the only man in this

00:28:10matchup in a former a kick-out oh it's shot down by Edwards what were you

00:28:17trying to say they said the only man in this matchup who's a former world

00:28:21champion

00:28:27anniversary is trending on social media thank you so much to DNA fans all around

00:28:33the world the sold-out crowd here tonight in Montreal is indicative of the

00:28:38momentum that this company has thanks to you the two and a fans

00:28:46everybody the thousands here who are packing the Verdun auditorium oh you

00:28:51know that DNA has some of the best professional wrestling on the planet the

00:28:55system is evidence of that right here right now Edwards is legal Edwards and

00:29:00Myers through the best tag team competitors in DNA history

00:29:07first in the middle rope that was gnarly you had a catapult from Edwards but that

00:29:13assist from Myers that little extra help and all that extra velocity that could

00:29:21collapse the throat take another look at this the red ace Austin just whiplash is

00:29:26back that was nasty oh no Alicia Edwards put her hands on ace Austin

00:29:35referee they were the intercede in that one but the threat of Alicia Edwards

00:29:41ever-present referees are gonna have to be on their game with the system

00:29:47they know how to play within this sandbox very very well

00:29:57look at that!

00:29:58Stomping suplex from the apron of the center of the ring to retain the tag team titles and

00:30:04Austin slips free still in the match

00:30:11Eddie Edwards the wolf in patriotic clothing here tonight absolutely

00:30:18relentless keeping ace Austin down here no tag in sight

00:30:27now ace Austin trying to find his way back up to his feet needs to make the

00:30:31tag to the ultimate finesse of Chris Bay there's a jawbreaker an opportunity but

00:30:35Edwards is in the way Austin trying to reach out nearly made the tag

00:30:39Bay wants the tag fingertips away

00:30:42Edwards calling for some assistance from Myers

00:30:44Myers with the attention of the official and Bay, Bay had made a tag and went after Edwards

00:30:50but the official never saw the tag the official has to see the tag in order for it to be legal

00:30:56That's right!

00:31:02they are the system and they know how to work within the confines they know how

00:31:07to make everything bend to their will to their plan

00:31:10They know how to cheat!

00:31:12They know how to work the system, Dom!

00:31:14You're a kiss-ass!

00:31:16I'm a man who calls what he sees who sees best it was plain as a day just

00:31:21because the referee didn't see it doesn't mean I didn't

00:31:24I guess the system's ass a little bit more than I really was

00:31:26How about that?

00:31:28Just because I can see the truth doesn't mean you need to be blind

00:31:39Myers punishing Ace Austin here

00:31:46Think about what Myers and Edwards mean within the system

00:31:49two of the longest standing veterans in TNA's locker room today

00:31:53Brian Myers a two-time TNA world tag team champion

00:31:57former digital media champion

00:31:59this opportunity within the system has made them the dominant force

00:32:03the dominant players within TNA wrestling

00:32:08Champions that they are

00:32:10The back of the right-hand men

00:32:12The Moose, the TNA world champion as well

00:32:16The force that they've been in this locker room

00:32:19in this company has been nearly unprecedented

00:32:23and I have a feeling it's going to continue here tonight

00:32:26Belly-to-back suplex here by Myers

00:32:29Myers' tag team partnership with Moose

00:32:32the most professional wrestling gods

00:32:34blossomed into a partnership with Edwards

00:32:36and then the system created it hard to kill back in January

00:32:41Now, as you think about the roster coming

00:32:43Lushes at Ace Austin

00:32:45Great job there by Austin to backpedal

00:32:47and create his own opening

00:32:49Kick off of the ropes

00:32:52Austin goaded in Myers

00:32:55and the most professional wrestler paid for it

00:32:58This is a huge window of opportunity for the ABC

00:33:05Very smart wrestling there by Ace Austin

00:33:08A little defense to create offense

00:33:10but he needs to make the tag to crisp it

00:33:13He's suffered a lot of punishment

00:33:15But he's got to get that tag Tom

00:33:17You're absolutely right

00:33:20Tag made and it's Edwards to Chris Bay

00:33:23And Chris Bay fired up here fighting two-on-one

00:33:28Gotta be careful about dividing his attention though

00:33:33Chopping down Edwards

00:33:36And Myers leveled by Bay

00:33:45Oh, big shot right to the back of the neck there by Chris Bay

00:33:48Look at this!

00:33:50Oh, look at the drop Edwards there!

00:33:52And they want the moves on

00:33:54Picture perfect moves out there from Chris Bay

00:34:02Trying to grab a hold of Edwards

00:34:04And now Eddie Edwards to the outside

00:34:07Bay through the ropes

00:34:09Look at this

00:34:15And now is Bay gonna look for a little bit of a repeat

00:34:18from the opening moments of this matchup

00:34:21Oh, and Alicia Edwards in the path of Chris Bay

00:34:26And she didn't make any contact

00:34:28Chris Bay, you mind your freaking manners

00:34:32Hey, hey, hey!

00:34:35Oh, and Eddie Edwards protecting his wife

00:34:39Absolutely protecting his wife

00:34:41His ride or die

00:34:46Edwards catches a kick, so does Myers

00:34:48Chris Bay dealing with the system virtually three-on-one

00:34:53Have to look out here

00:34:54Eyes in the back of your head

00:34:57Kick there by Austin

00:34:58Austin calling for Bay

00:34:59Look at this!

00:35:00Oh, the cover on the apron!

00:35:05What timing there by Chris Bay

00:35:10Is it time?

00:35:11Sword of glory!

00:35:15Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!

00:35:18Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!

00:35:21Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!

00:35:24Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!

00:35:27And the crowd is electric here in Montreal

00:35:31Look at it closing out here

00:35:33Two legal men!

00:35:35Do we have new tag team champions?

00:35:37Kicked out by Eddie Edwards!

00:35:41The resilience of Eddie Edwards

00:35:43Take a look at this huge frog splash

00:35:46No doubt about it

00:35:47Very, very close

00:35:50But no freaking cigar for ABC

00:35:54This is awesome!

00:35:57This is awesome!

00:36:00Oh, needs to make a tag

00:36:01Oh, and Myers taking away the tag off

00:36:04To Lee Sauston who smashed into the steel post

00:36:07The ABC were thinking about perhaps setting up for the one-two sweep

00:36:11Their finishing double team move

00:36:13The system felt it coming

00:36:15Myers took away the tag off

00:36:17Now Chris Bay fighting two on one again

00:36:20Spear by Myers!

00:36:22Set up by Edwards!

00:36:23Can the system retain?

00:36:25Oh, and a kick out!

00:36:27Chris Bay is still in it!

00:36:30Eddie Edwards is incensed

00:36:32Take another look at the system

00:36:33Teamwork into the spear

00:36:35But somehow Chris Bay digging down deep

00:36:39To stay in the matchup

00:36:45The assist there by Eddie Edwards

00:36:47Brian Myers looked like he got all that spear

00:36:50And Chris Bay endured

00:36:52Chris Bay is still alone here

00:36:54Two on one

00:36:55Ace Austin still out on the floor

00:36:59Oh, hold on

00:37:00Trust the system!

00:37:02This is time for the system overload

00:37:04Going for the backpack stunner elbow drop combination

00:37:07Myers told Edwards to look out

00:37:09But Ace Austin got Myers

00:37:12Uh-oh

00:37:13Oh, kicked in the face by Austin

00:37:15Now it's ABC with the double team

00:37:17Brush!

00:37:21Edwards to the outside

00:37:22A little too sweet

00:37:25Oh, and a magic killer!

00:37:27Reminiscent of the Good Brothers

00:37:31Oh, and a kick out!

00:37:34The ABC pulled one out of their fellow Bullet Club brethren's book

00:37:40And nearly won the damn thing

00:37:43They thought they had it

00:37:45It was almost there within one second

00:37:48But the most professional wrestler stays in it

00:37:53Called for the one-two sweep

00:37:55Oh, and now Alicia Edwards diving into the ring to protect Myers

00:37:59That's what the queen of the system does

00:38:02Oh, wait, hold up, hold up

00:38:05Wait a minute, oh my god

00:38:06Oh, went for the art of finesse

00:38:08And Alicia Edwards in the wrong place at the wrong time

00:38:12Edwards pulled Myers out of the way

00:38:14Chris Bay just took out Alicia Edwards

00:38:18He was aiming for Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers

00:38:22Double! Art of finesse!

00:38:25Look out!

00:38:27There's the one!

00:38:29The art of finesse!

00:38:30There's the two!

00:38:31Fold!

00:38:32Climbing!

00:38:34Down with the system!

00:38:36ABC makes it one, two, three!

00:38:40Here are your winners

00:38:42And new DNA World Champion

00:38:47The ABCs!

00:38:56What a moment at Slammiversary

00:38:59We have our first new champion's crown of the evening

00:39:06And the first major speed bump in the road

00:39:09For the system tonight at Slammiversary

00:39:13Are we on the verge of a system breakdown?

00:39:18We have new DNA World Tag Team Champions

00:39:21Will we see a new X-Division Champion crown this evening at Slammiversary?

00:39:27For more on that, we're going to check in with our broadcast colleague, Gia Miller

00:39:34Please welcome my guest this time, Speedball Mike Bailey

00:39:39Speedball, tonight, huge opportunity ahead of you

00:39:42It's been building for quite some time

00:39:44But tonight it reaches a boiling point

00:39:46You versus Muska Ali

00:39:48The X-Division Championship on the line

00:39:51Here in your hometown of Montreal

00:39:54Tonight, I will be wrestling the biggest match of my entire life

00:39:58In front of my friends and my family

00:40:00Muska Ali has done everything in his power

00:40:03He has used every trick in the book

00:40:05To get out of having a one-on-one match against Speedball Mike Bailey

00:40:09But tonight, we put an end to this at Slammiversary

00:40:13Muska Ali, tonight, I become the new champion of the X-Division

00:40:18You and I, it ends here in Montreal

00:40:24A monumental opportunity for Montreal's own Speedball Mike Bailey

00:40:30Later on tonight, at Slammiversary

00:40:43The following contest is a different football

00:40:46Introducing first, he is Jake Duffy

00:40:51Now, Ray, well, this is a matchup I've been very keen to see

00:40:54Two men who competed in the Road to Slammiversary qualifying matches

00:40:58That would have gained an entry into the TNA World Title match

00:41:02We'll see later on tonight in our main event

00:41:04Obviously, both men came up short in their respective ways

00:41:07Jake, something lost to the momentous Joe Hendry

00:41:10Nothing to be ashamed of there

00:41:12This is an opportunity for both men to gain momentum once again

00:41:16And get back in the win column

00:41:22We've got two very intense, gritty fighters

00:41:26With a chip on their shoulder about to lock horns

00:41:30This one is gonna be good

00:41:52Mike! Mike! Mike!

00:41:56His opponent, from the Bronx, New York

00:41:59Mike Santana!

00:42:04Spotlights up for Santana at Slammiversary

00:42:10Mike Santana, as always, a man of the people

00:42:15All the way from the Bronx, New York

00:42:17Shout out to my boy, Alex Goldenboy Mendes

00:42:20A fellow Boricua watching this and smiling at home

00:42:23As the man himself, Mike Santana

00:42:26Entering the ring through the people here in Montreal

00:42:30You guys better be talking about this on reference, I'll tell you that much

00:42:33Mike Santana is looking to get himself back into the win column here in TNA

00:42:39Mike Santana came back to this company at Rebellion for one thing and one thing only

00:42:45The TNA World Championship

00:42:49And Mike Santana was screwed out of that opportunity by JDC

00:42:54And the system in the Road to Slammiversary qualifying matchup he had against Frankie Kuzarian

00:43:00Kuzarian would win the matchup via countout because of the attack by JDC

00:43:05And remember, JDC was sicked on Mike Santana by the TNA World Champion Moose himself

00:43:15I wish I could deny it, but you're now wrong

00:43:18Moose did mention there was one man in that tournament he was seriously concerned about

00:43:24And then it was Mike Santana getting jumped by JDC

00:43:28That's the threat this man poses

00:43:30He has been on a tear since returning to TNA

00:43:45Mike Santana

00:43:51Our referee Frank Gassino is gonna have his hands full here

00:43:53Two heavyweights between Mike Santana and Jake Something

00:43:57You gotta give a little bit of the power and reach advantage to Jake Something

00:44:02But Santana is no slouch here

00:44:06In some of the best shape of his career as well, absolutely

00:44:09Jack, this one, this one's gonna be physical, this one's gonna be intense

00:44:13And it could get nasty

00:44:16Mike Santana was born nasty

00:44:18As we saw this past Thursday night on Impact

00:44:20He went one-on-one with JDC in the wake of what Johnny Dango Curtis did to the Hardy family

00:44:26Blowing up the TNA World Tag Team title match

00:44:29Mike Santana got his proverbial pound of flesh against JDC

00:44:33He didn't give a damn whether he won or lost the match

00:44:35He smashed JDC to bits this past Thursday night

00:44:39So if you're Jake Something and you saw that

00:44:41Proceed cautiously

00:44:44But interestingly enough

00:44:46Starting to learn a little bit about catch-as-catch-can wrestling

00:44:51Between these two hosts, between these two very physical smash-mouth wrestlers

00:44:57Obviously showing that they are very three-dimensional

00:45:01They can do more than one thing

00:45:03Some of the best wrestlers are here, right here, in TNA

00:45:07Jake Something now challenging Santana to try

00:45:12To try his best to take the big man off his feet

00:45:17Jake Something wants some more

00:45:19The 265-pounder

00:45:22Jake Something, a man who I think is criminally underrated

00:45:25In the entire world of pro wrestling

00:45:27Look at this

00:45:29Non-stop action indeed here

00:45:32Oh, and it looked like Santana went for the head

00:45:35Oh, and it looked like Santana went for the fence press

00:45:38And instead it was Jake Something who got the better of that exchange

00:45:42A human frightening freight train

00:45:44And it's not done yet

00:45:46Oh, the top, Jake Something

00:45:48Able to drop Santana in the entranceway

00:45:53Jake Something has everything to prove

00:45:56He returned to this company at last year's Slammiversary

00:45:59A surprise entrant in Ultimate X

00:46:01Would love to get himself a victory here

00:46:03And propel himself forward in TNA

00:46:07Santana able to get to his feet quick enough

00:46:10To take the offensive back to Jake Something here

00:46:13Look out!

00:46:14Wait a minute, look at this

00:46:15Off the top, that's a 245-pounder

00:46:18And Mike Santana

00:46:22We are getting airborne here in this one

00:46:25First, we gotta take a look back

00:46:27Jake Something taken to the air

00:46:29The big man can fly

00:46:31But not to be outdone

00:46:33Mike Santana, the Flying Flipping Senton

00:46:37On to Jake Something

00:46:38This one is gonna need some ATC

00:46:41Remember, Mike Santana I mentioned earlier

00:46:43Was a part of LAX

00:46:45Santana Ortiz is a four-time TNA World Tag Team Champion

00:46:48Was a smaller competitor at that time

00:46:51Spent five years away from this company

00:46:53Especially the last few years

00:46:54He's really built his body

00:46:55But you know this very well

00:46:57The astonishing thing

00:46:58When an athlete can add size and strength

00:47:00But not lose speed or agility

00:47:02That is rare

00:47:03He's got every move in the book still

00:47:06But all the more power to back every bit of it up

00:47:09And if there's anybody who knows power

00:47:11It is Jake Something

00:47:14Back elbow there

00:47:15Jake Something trying to slow up like Santana

00:47:21German suplex by Santana

00:47:23There's that strength

00:47:24Shoulders pressed down

00:47:25And a kick out by Jake Something at one

00:47:27I was gonna say a kick out at one

00:47:29Something will not go quietly into this good night

00:47:36Drop kick there

00:47:37Into another cover

00:47:38Hooked to the leg

00:47:39Kick out at two

00:47:40In your opinion

00:47:41Who has more to prove in this match?

00:47:44In my opinion

00:47:45Neither one of these guys

00:47:46Has anything to prove to me

00:47:47Like I know how good they are

00:47:49But I'm gonna stick by

00:47:50I think Jake Something is the one

00:47:52Who needs that huge win

00:47:54He doesn't have the title record here in TNA

00:47:56That Mike Santana does

00:47:58He needs to establish that

00:47:59He needs this huge win

00:48:01I feel like the motivation is there

00:48:03For Jake Something

00:48:07Santana

00:48:08Wants a cover

00:48:09Pressing his shoulders down

00:48:10And a kick out

00:48:11Santana on the flip side

00:48:13He had that opportunity to qualify

00:48:15For a TNA world title shot

00:48:17All he's asked for

00:48:18Since he's returned to this company at Rebellion

00:48:20Is to try and fight

00:48:21And earn his way

00:48:22To the TNA world championship

00:48:23That was dashed

00:48:25Here's the cover

00:48:26And in the face

00:48:27Kick out by Jake Something

00:48:28So you have to ask yourself

00:48:29The past year for Mike Santana

00:48:31Has been about rediscovering

00:48:33Bettering himself

00:48:34He's been very public about his sobriety

00:48:35How much his daughter and his family

00:48:37Means to him

00:48:38It's motivated him to move forward

00:48:40So when you hit a roadblock

00:48:41How do you deal with that?

00:48:44Good question

00:48:45That's one hell of a human roadblock there

00:48:47That Jake Something just became

00:48:49For Mike Santana

00:48:51Wow, look at Jake Something

00:48:53Animalistic

00:48:54Pounding away

00:48:58Jake Something certainly feeling

00:48:59The last few moments here

00:49:01Courtesy of Mike Santana

00:49:03A little recover but

00:49:05Something's still feeling strong here

00:49:13Santana whipped into the top turnbuckle

00:49:19And now

00:49:22The human silverback

00:49:24Jake Something

00:49:26Imposing his will

00:49:28On Mike Santana

00:49:31You can hear those kicks

00:49:34Collapsing

00:49:35The ribs

00:49:36The chest of Mike Santana

00:49:48Official Frank Gastineau right in the face

00:49:50Of Jake Something

00:49:51Warning him so

00:49:52He doesn't get disqualified

00:49:53He's got to be careful

00:49:54That count of five

00:49:58Suplex

00:49:59That's right

00:50:00Cover

00:50:01Santana able to kick out

00:50:05Jake Something here

00:50:06Starting

00:50:07You can see the frustration building

00:50:09Behind his eyes

00:50:10And in front of him

00:50:12He's got to try to keep it

00:50:14In check to some degree here

00:50:16Santana

00:50:17Is no slouch

00:50:19A veteran of this sport

00:50:28Kick right to the face by Santana

00:50:31Two main event players right here

00:50:33Mike Santana and Jake Something

00:50:35Going to war

00:50:36It's Slammiversary

00:50:37Went for spin the block

00:50:38One of the STB

00:50:40Look out

00:50:41Rolling for 50

00:50:44Is that enough?

00:50:45Falls into the cover

00:50:46Can he put him away?

00:50:47And a kick out by Jake Something

00:50:53Close

00:50:54Close

00:50:55Close there

00:50:56For Santana

00:50:57But not quite enough

00:51:06A bump on the shoulders there

00:51:08Maybe he's thinking about

00:51:09No IC

00:51:10Outline and shot

00:51:17Jake is trying to control Santana

00:51:19Once another rolling

00:51:20Block 50

00:51:21Jake Something felt it coming

00:51:23Oh

00:51:24The shoulders

00:51:26Where the strength

00:51:27Of Mike Santana

00:51:28Outline and shock

00:51:30The wherewithal of Mike Santana

00:51:32To catch Jake Something like that

00:51:36Santana

00:51:37From the corner

00:51:38And the drop kick

00:51:39Right to the chest

00:51:42Now Something in prime position

00:51:43For the candle

00:51:46A 245 pound cannonball

00:51:49Here's the cover

00:51:50Hooked to the inside leg

00:51:51Something on that right shoulder

00:51:53Up in time

00:51:54Take another look at this

00:51:55Slammiversary sized cannonball

00:51:58From Mike Santana

00:52:00But Jake Something

00:52:01Is able to stay in this contest

00:52:06Sold out crowd here

00:52:07Inside the Verdun Auditorium

00:52:09A historic venue

00:52:10For professional wrestling

00:52:11Dating back to the 1930's

00:52:14Has hosted some of the

00:52:15Most legendary names of all time

00:52:18The likes of Mad Dog

00:52:19Bashan

00:52:20Hulk Hogan

00:52:21Abdullah the Butcher

00:52:22The list goes on and on

00:52:30Oh

00:52:31God

00:52:35The elbow

00:52:36Forearms

00:52:37Ricocheting off the jaw

00:52:39Of Jake Something

00:52:41Oh my God

00:52:42Jake Something

00:52:43Jake Something

00:52:44Caught Mike Santana

00:52:45Mid-cannonball

00:52:46You know what's next

00:52:47Wait, wait, wait

00:52:48Oh

00:52:49One of the powerbomb

00:52:50Trying to get him up

00:52:51Sit down

00:52:52Powerbomb

00:52:53Cover

00:52:54Shoulders down

00:52:55Santana won't go away

00:52:59You cannot

00:53:00Downplay

00:53:01The strength it takes to do that

00:53:03You saw

00:53:04Santana

00:53:05He tried to counter it

00:53:06Jake Something said

00:53:07No

00:53:08Not today

00:53:10The absolute power

00:53:11It takes to do that

00:53:14Needs to be noted

00:53:15And respected

00:53:20Look at

00:53:21What is Jake Something

00:53:22Thinking here

00:53:23The top rope

00:53:24Jake Something

00:53:25All the way up top

00:53:26Santana

00:53:27Going to meet him

00:53:28Superman

00:53:29Suplex

00:53:30Off the top turnbuckle

00:53:32Nasty landing

00:53:34For Jake Something

00:53:38Jake Something

00:53:39Landed high on his neck

00:53:40And shoulders

00:53:44Take another look at this

00:53:45Watch

00:53:46Santana sending Jake Something

00:53:49Flying

00:53:50With that German suplex

00:53:51Off the top rope

00:53:57Jake Something

00:53:58Wanted something

00:53:59High risk there

00:54:00On the top turnbuckle

00:54:01And Santana

00:54:02Nearly ended the matchup with that

00:54:05The amount these two

00:54:06Have taken out of each other

00:54:07At this point

00:54:08The matchup

00:54:09Santana can go for the cover

00:54:10And they're not done

00:54:11Reworked

00:54:17Superkick

00:54:20Jake Something

00:54:21Wants more

00:54:25Oh and a huge

00:54:26Forearm shiver

00:54:28Look at this

00:54:29Santana with a kip-up

00:54:30And now trying to chop down

00:54:32The big tree

00:54:34Incredible warrior spirit

00:54:36In both these guys

00:54:39Cover

00:54:42Oh and a kick out

00:54:43And won

00:54:46Jake Something

00:54:47Will not be denied here

00:54:50That enormous lariat

00:54:52Wasn't enough

00:54:53But now

00:54:54Spin the block

00:54:55The STP

00:54:58Santana wins

00:55:00At Slammiversary

00:55:02Here's your winner

00:55:04Mike Santana

00:55:06A knockdown

00:55:08Dragout fight

00:55:09That felt

00:55:10Kind of like a must win

00:55:12For both guys

00:55:13But it's Mike Santana

00:55:15Who will have his hand

00:55:17Raised in victory

00:55:20I agree with you

00:55:21This felt like a must win scenario

00:55:23And Mike Santana

00:55:24Scores the victory

00:55:26At Slammiversary

00:55:27Right now I want to take you back

00:55:28To the countdown

00:55:29To Slammiversary

00:55:30And in round two matchup

00:55:31Between Amberstone

00:55:33And Eric Young

00:55:34Here in Montreal

00:55:38He's got Young up there

00:55:39Think about the torture rack

00:55:41And Young is fighting back

00:55:43Shots right to the face

00:55:45A little bit grab on to the rope

00:55:46But look out

00:55:47Shoulders down

00:55:48Shoulders down

00:55:49Young has pinned Amberstone

00:55:54Here's your winner

00:55:55Eric Young

00:55:58Amberstone

00:55:59Caught off guard

00:56:00They're surprised

00:56:01As much as any of us

00:56:03Cannot be too pleased

00:56:05With the outcome here

00:56:06But what a win

00:56:07For Eric Young

00:56:09Feel that?

00:56:10Can you feel that?

00:56:11Slammiversary

00:56:12Hasn't even started

00:56:13I just took out

00:56:14Amberstone

00:56:15Massive dude

00:56:17Impressive dude

00:56:18But I was feeling the energy

00:56:20Like you were feeling the energy

00:56:22Slammiversary

00:56:23Is one of the biggest

00:56:24Pay-per-views this company

00:56:25Has ever done

00:56:26Now I'm not the main event

00:56:27I didn't make it

00:56:28It's not my time right now

00:56:30I'm gonna be watching it

00:56:31Real close

00:56:32Good luck boys

00:56:33World class team

00:56:34Out of this

00:56:37Well Eric Young

00:56:38Had a very auspicious beginning

00:56:40To his night here

00:56:41At Slammiversary

00:56:42Eric Young setting the tone

00:56:44On the countdown to Slammiversary

00:56:46Representing the Montreal Canadiens

00:56:48In the process

00:56:49And speaking of the fine city

00:56:50Of Montreal, Quebec, Canada

00:56:51We want to say thank you

00:56:52For the fantastic welcome

00:57:23Metal, the Habs mascot

00:57:25In arm wrestling competition

00:57:27And then

00:57:28Introduced him

00:57:29To a table

00:57:30In juggernaut fashion

00:57:33And Jordan Grace

00:57:34Of course

00:57:35Standing tall

00:57:36All respect to the Habs

00:57:38Well right now

00:57:39We're set for more action

00:57:40Here at Slammiversary

00:57:41The boys from

00:57:42The Treehouse

00:57:43Are back at it again

00:57:44The Rascals are reunited

00:57:45In TNA

00:57:46To put down

00:57:47A common enemy

00:57:48From NXT

00:57:49The No Quarter

00:57:50Catch Crew

00:57:55Great opportunity

00:57:56Tonight for the Rascals

00:57:57Bray Miguel

00:57:58To get this team

00:57:59Back on track

00:58:00No better time

00:58:01To make that a big upset

00:58:02Right here in the

00:58:03Impact Dome

00:58:04Tonight in Philly

00:58:15What the hell?

00:58:16Oh my goodness

00:58:17Look at who that is

00:58:18We will win

00:58:19This totally

00:58:20Can't see

00:58:21From NXT

00:58:23Insane

00:58:24I don't know

00:58:25What you're trying to

00:58:26Up

00:58:27But you are not

00:58:28Going to do

00:58:29You are not

00:58:30Going to

00:58:34Wait a minute

00:58:35That's from Iowa

00:58:36Live

00:58:37What the hell is that?

00:58:38Inside the ring

00:58:39Death nation

00:58:40On the ramp

00:58:41NXT

00:58:42Infiltration

00:58:43In the city

00:58:44Has continued

00:58:46Did you really think

00:58:47I was gonna come here alone?

00:58:48I made sure i bring

00:58:49Some tacos

00:58:50Bob Bowie

00:58:51Charlie Jenkins

00:58:52Reb Please

00:58:54Have you got

00:58:55Your Hackle

00:58:56NXT

00:58:57TNF

00:58:58We're both ready

00:58:59You've earned yourself a six-man title.

00:59:03You three Santa Madones versus the Rascals.

00:59:06But I'm going to find a suitable partner for the Rascals.

00:59:09Something from our world.

00:59:11No one.

00:59:12No one.

00:59:13And the number two, logically, we've got to get some kind of...

00:59:16Oh, my God!

00:59:17The no-quarter can't throw wins!

00:59:20They've got to catch the number three.

00:59:23That's right.

00:59:24You know them well.

00:59:25The Rascals have the number three.

00:59:27Slammiversary!

00:59:28This is our home!

00:59:30You know what happens when you go home?

00:59:32You bring family.

00:59:34You welcome them.

00:59:35You got them!

00:59:36We got all of them!

00:59:44We are set for an interpromotional battle tonight at Slammiversary.

00:59:48The following is a six-man tag team match.

00:59:59Introducing first, from NXT, no-quarter catch throw!

01:00:06Well, in my mind, these three have been pretty quiet as to why they came here to TNA.

01:00:12I think it's pretty clear.

01:00:13Cause some havoc and make a name for themselves.

01:00:17Strike out here.

01:00:19You know, we talk a lot tonight about coming into enemy territory.

01:00:23A lot of people facing Montreal natives coming here to Canada.

01:00:28But in this instance, we've got another promotion walking into our house, our territory.

01:00:35But tonight, they're going to pay for that.

01:00:39Miles Bourne on the left.

01:00:41Charlie Dempsey in the center.

01:00:43Tabiot Heights on the right.

01:00:45They are the no-quarter catch crew.

01:01:03Their opponents, from the Treehouse!

01:01:06The team of Trey Magal, Zachary West, and Wes Lee!

01:01:11The Rascals!

01:01:15And boy, oh boy, does it do a heart proud.

01:01:20I am happy to infinity and beyond to see the boys from the Treehouse reunited here in TNA.

01:01:29Trey Magal, Zachary Wentz, and NXT's Wes Lee, known to TNA fans once upon a time as Desmond Xavier.

01:01:37The three reunited this past week on NXT.

01:01:40Tuesday night live on NXT and competed as a trio for the first time in four years.

01:01:46They dispatched the team of Dallas.

01:01:48And now, Wes Lee has returned to TNA to help Wentz and Magal deal with their no-quarter catch crew problem.

01:01:56What do you do when your back is against the wall?

01:02:00When you're pushed into a corner, you turn to your blood.

01:02:03You turn to your family.

01:02:06And that's what the Rascals have done, Wes Lee, back here in TNA.

01:02:11Santino Marella trying to employ the use of Kushida in a six-man tag team matchup this past Thursday

01:02:17on Impact alongside Wentz and Magal to take care of the no-quarter catch crew in the house.

01:02:23However, Wes Lee and Wentz and Magal reunited in the Treehouse this past Thursday night,

01:02:29which we haven't seen in the longest time in TNA.

01:02:36There's some bad blood brewing.

01:02:40Finally going to get down to it.

01:02:43Six-man tag team action here.

01:02:46So this is Miles Bourne to start things off against Trey Magal.

01:02:51Magal going into his wheelhouse here, the athleticism.

01:02:55Ending up in dangerous territory, though.

01:03:01Shot right there to the arm.

01:03:03Kicks away.

01:03:04Low drop kick there to Bourne.

01:03:06And Trey Magal, the two-time X Division champion,

01:03:09former TNA World Tag Team champion along with Wentz, setting the pace early.

01:03:15And Bourne with a tag to Charlie Dempsey here, the man who struck first in this war,

01:03:22the man who walked into the impact zone back in Philadelphia and just caused havoc.

01:03:29Broke up the match between Trey Magal and Leon Slater.

01:03:32Stormed into impact.

01:03:34And here's Wes Lee.

01:03:36Now, it is an interpromotional battle in so many ways,

01:03:41but here we get a little NXT versus NXT action in TNA.

01:03:46Wes Lee, a former NXT North American champion,

01:03:49former NXT Tag Team champion with Zachary Wentz once upon a time.

01:03:55And also, right here in TNA, he won the Super X Cup back in 2017.

01:03:59He's an accomplished wrestler altogether.

01:04:04Wes Lee recently on NXT.

01:04:07He's maybe about to make a career-altering decision.

01:04:10That's when Miguel and Wes...

01:04:13Visited their brother, baby. That's right.

01:04:15They remind you of who you are and what you can do.

01:04:20And these are the things that Wes Lee can do, baby.

01:04:26And Wes Lee's kick right to the face of Dempsey.

01:04:35And a tag made by Wentz.

01:04:37Oh, kick right to the back of the head of Dempsey.

01:04:41Here's the Team Purge.

01:04:43Oh, what a Bronco Buster from Zachary Wentz.

01:04:49That's what the rascals are all about.

01:04:51Oh, so now you like it, huh?

01:04:53That's funny now. It's a cover and a kick out.

01:04:57Thanks to the invading army that is the No Quarter Catch Crew,

01:05:00we find ourselves, I think, on the same side of history for once, Hannafin.

01:05:04A tag made off the uppercut by Dempsey.

01:05:06Some space made. In comes Tavion Blights,

01:05:09one of the most decorated amateur wrestlers to ever step foot in WWE.

01:05:15Can-Am Games medalist, amateur wrestling champion.

01:05:20Threat to be taken seriously, no doubt.

01:05:22But do not count on our boy, Zachary Wentz.

01:05:29Tavion Wentz, the largest man in this match-up,

01:05:31certainly an advantage for the AQCC.

01:05:35From the second rope, and Wentz able to take him down with a Hurricanrana.

01:05:41Uh-oh, a pop-up.

01:05:43Oh, look at this.

01:05:45There's the strength of Tavion Heights.

01:05:49Oh, look at that. Oh, dumping Wentz.

01:05:51Get out of the way. Come on.

01:05:54And now the Gut Wrench Thruplex.

01:05:56There's the cover.

01:05:57They'll put away the Rascal's kick out at one there by Wentz.

01:06:06Tag made. In comes Charlie Dempsey,

01:06:08who is the son of the pro-wrestling legend,

01:06:11William Regal.

01:06:13So you can imagine the potential ability in the mind of Dempsey.

01:06:18Down in Athens.

01:06:19God, the cold, calculated nature of that catch-as-catch-in-style

01:06:23wrestling joint manipulation.

01:06:25The nastiness that Dempsey is capable of

01:06:30should not be overlooked.

01:06:32Dempsey is known to say that mistakes won't be tolerated.

01:06:35Recently, when he said,

01:06:36please free stuff somebody in the trunk of a car in this past week,

01:06:40they were trying to get help in getting rid of a witness.

01:06:43So, you know, that's what happens on Tuesday nights.

01:06:46You do what you got to do.

01:06:48I mean, that's what Charlie Dempsey is willing to do

01:06:51to take care of a problem.

01:06:52The Rascals, they do got to watch out.

01:06:54Remember that pro-wrestling to hell on earth.

01:06:57Tag made.

01:07:00Oh, and a drop kick.

01:07:02Taking Bourne and Heights off of the apron.

01:07:04No tag option for Dempsey.

01:07:06He has to go with the gut wrench.

01:07:08Tag option for Dempsey.

01:07:09He has to go with Miguel.

01:07:12Look at this.

01:07:13Double stop right between the shoulder blades.

01:07:18Miguel reminding the world what he is,

01:07:20a generational talent.

01:07:22Made Dempsey cover up there.

01:07:24Really smart kick right in the face.

01:07:27Now Heights.

01:07:28That's the attention of Daniel Spencer, our referee.

01:07:31Hold up.

01:07:32Now Bourne feeding Miguel to Dempsey.

01:07:36Dempsey wanted to bridge into a cover there,

01:07:38but Heights had the attention of the official.

01:07:40Either way, it gets the no-quarter catch crew

01:07:42the advantage here.

01:07:46Nasty back hook performed in the face now by Dempsey

01:07:49and a kick out at two.

01:07:56And now, with the door wide open for the NGCC,

01:08:00the punishment can truly begin for the Rascals here.

01:08:07Shut up!

01:08:08Tabion Heights seems like a natural

01:08:10when he's stepping inside the ring.

01:08:12He's gravitated to it.

01:08:15There's a reason he's caught the attention of Dempsey,

01:08:19of Bourne, the no-quarter catch crew.

01:08:21The danger this guy poses,

01:08:23the effectiveness he has within those ropes.

01:08:28There is nothing but potential for Tabion Heights.

01:08:31Oh, a huge clothesline by Heights.

01:08:36Here's the cover, hook to the leg.

01:08:38Miguel able to roll and kick out there.

01:08:41My God.

01:08:42Miguel has made much of his career off of his resilience,

01:08:46his ability to stay in the fight despite overwhelming odds.

01:08:49He's going to have to dig down deep

01:08:51into all of that here tonight.

01:08:55In comes Miles Bourne.

01:08:59Bourne, who is a big part of why Dempsey defeated Wentz

01:09:02one-on-one recently on Impact,

01:09:04a little bit of a distraction on the outside.

01:09:09Bourne, a physical specimen himself here.

01:09:11Again, big size and strength advantage

01:09:14to no-quarter catch crew.

01:09:22Miguel whipping the corner, trying to fight his way free.

01:09:25Miguel's been in there for a long time

01:09:27against the no-quarter catch crew.

01:09:29Trying to break open a chance here, a window.

01:09:34Oh, look at that one for the power slam.

01:09:36He launched Miguel into the ropes.

01:09:39Back of the knee, back of the hamstring,

01:09:41bent right over those ropes, snapped.

01:09:45For anyone who's doubted it,

01:09:47the ropes themselves can be very, very dangerous.

01:09:51It is not a pleasant thing to smack up against those.

01:09:56They are able to cover themselves,

01:09:58not ropes or steel cables

01:10:00with a small amount of protection on the outside.

01:10:04Get over here!

01:10:07Bourne here.

01:10:08Shoulders down.

01:10:09Oh, and a kick out.

01:10:11Just playing human chess over here,

01:10:13deciding which move he wants to make,

01:10:14which joint he wants to manipulate,

01:10:16what he wants to break down and destroy.

01:10:21Huge right hand by Heights.

01:10:28Suplex in, and now Heights going to slow this thing down.

01:10:32The Rascals really trying to push the pace

01:10:34in the early going of this matchup.

01:10:36That is their wheelhouse,

01:10:37and the no-quarter catch crew has completely changed this match.

01:10:44Like I said, Miguel

01:10:47desperately trying to hang on in this one.

01:10:49Cover him.

01:10:50Oh, and a right shoulder up there for Miguel.

01:10:52Just barely, though, Tom.

01:10:54Miguel is in a bad, bad part of town.

01:11:02Oh, and Heights stays close with Miguel.

01:11:05That's smart, because Wentz could potentially reach over

01:11:08and get a tag there.

01:11:10These nasty clubbing clotheslines from Heights.

01:11:15Oh, and Miguel tucked underneath that.

01:11:17Heights' momentum carried him over,

01:11:19and Miguel's found an open.

01:11:22Dwayne Miguel.

01:11:23Yeah, Cartabian Heights there,

01:11:25off his balance.

01:11:27Heights was trying to take his hand off,

01:11:29and Dwayne Miguel makes a tag.

01:11:31In comes Wesley.

01:11:33Wesley taking off now to meet Dempsey here.

01:11:37Clubbing blows in the middle of the ring.

01:11:40Big right hand now, Boren trying to get involved.

01:11:42Wesley dealing with just about every member

01:11:44on the no-quarter catch crew.

01:11:46Wesley fighting everybody here in TNA.

01:11:50There's a reason he's called the cardiac kid,

01:11:53putting it all on display here at Slammiversary.

01:11:57Take to the head of Dempsey.

01:12:00Now Wesley owns the DDT.

01:12:04Roll him over.

01:12:05Here's the cover, trying to win this six-man tag,

01:12:07and a kick out by Dempsey.

01:12:12Wesley looks like he may have been able

01:12:14to turn things around here for the Rascal.

01:12:17Oh, and Heights ripped Wentz off of the apron.

01:12:21It looked like Wesley was calling for some backup there.

01:12:24It was taken away.

01:12:25By the no-corner catch crew.

01:12:27Heights catching lead out of midair there.

01:12:33Now Boren back into the ring.

01:12:36Look at this.

01:12:37This is basically three-on-one.

01:12:39Look at the strength of Tabion Heights here.

01:12:43The three-on-one attack.

01:12:46Get him up.

01:12:47Oh, and a knee lift by Dempsey.

01:12:50Dropkick by Boren.

01:12:52This is an all-out assault.

01:12:54Where's the cover?

01:12:55How much of this can Wesley take?

01:12:57Oh, and he's able to kick out.

01:12:59There's your answer.

01:13:00Apparently alive.

01:13:01Because Wesley stays alive.

01:13:09Dempsey is legal.

01:13:10Look at how quickly the no-corner catch crew

01:13:12gets into position.

01:13:14Wesley, though, able to fight, continue fighting back here

01:13:19against all three members of the no-corner catch crew.

01:13:23And now Wesley, clear path, makes a tag to Trey Miguel.

01:13:28And now Zachary Wentz into the fray.

01:13:35A non-stop, frenetic action here from the Rascals.

01:13:43And now it's Wesley going up top.

01:13:45Kick right to the face.

01:13:47Miguel wants the lightning spiral.

01:13:49Dempsey, oh, he wants that.

01:13:51And suplex, and he got it.

01:13:53And look at Wesley.

01:13:54Wesley with a frog splash.

01:14:00Lee broke up the bridge with that splash.

01:14:03Picture-perfect timing.

01:14:05Watch this.

01:14:06Saving the match for the Rascals.

01:14:21And now it's Wesley on the move.

01:14:23Oh, and he's slowed up by Bourne.

01:14:25Big forearm blast.

01:14:26Now off the back of Wesley.

01:14:28Wentz flying through the air.

01:14:30Caught by the no-corner catch crew.

01:14:32Wesley takes out everybody.

01:14:35TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA!

01:14:49The competitors are from all over,

01:14:52but the action is all TNA, ladies and gentlemen.

01:14:56From the middle rope, went for the moonsault.

01:14:58Dempsey.

01:15:03Look at this.

01:15:04That nasty, almost a cravat neckbreaker there.

01:15:07And then the help, the groove of Dempsey.

01:15:10He's thrashing Miguel, and then Wesley broke it up.

01:15:13Now Tamion Heights launched Lee.

01:15:17Oh, my God, and now,

01:15:19oh, Wentz, Wentz is caught up by Tamion Heights.

01:15:22Myles Bourne into the match.

01:15:25Dempsey's got Miguel all tied up with that modified STF.

01:15:29Tying up everybody.

01:15:31And Bourne, Bourne.

01:15:34Oh, Bourne gets floored there by Wesley,

01:15:36and Tamion Heights falls into the pile,

01:15:39and that breaks up the submission.

01:15:43Everything's starting to break down a little bit

01:15:46in this six-man tag team matchup.

01:15:52Some issues there for the no-corner catch crew.

01:15:55We talked about it before.

01:15:56Myles Bourne was born with a condition

01:15:58where he has partial hearing loss.

01:16:00That played into what happened there.

01:16:01Couldn't really gauge what the miscommunication was.

01:16:05Dropped toehold there by Wentz.

01:16:07Tamion Heights in the rascal's corner.

01:16:09Oh, wrong part of town.

01:16:11Bad place to be for Mr. Tamion Heights.

01:16:17Super kick right to the face.

01:16:20And Wesley around the post.

01:16:22Now loaded up here by Wentz.

01:16:26Wesley dives in, takes out Dempsey.

01:16:29Going for the set-up here.

01:16:31There it is.

01:16:32They call that soup kitchen.

01:16:34Trey McGill over the top.

01:16:42And now on fire flame.

01:16:47Smoke him if you got him.

01:16:49Rascals up.

01:16:51Here are your winners, the Rascals.

01:16:56A heartwarming homecoming for the boys from the Treehouse

01:17:01as they get it done right here at Slammiversary.

01:17:08Take a look back here at the conclusion of this matchup.

01:17:11This was a classic Rascals matchup.

01:17:15Down the stretch, whether you call them MSK or the Rascals,

01:17:18there's hot fire flame.

01:17:20Wentz, Lee, and McGill victorious tonight at Slammiversary.

01:17:26What a matchup.

01:17:28What a moment for these friends, for these brothers

01:17:32as they pick up the dub here in Montreal.

01:17:36Tonight, Montreal's monster is focused on gold, revenge, and love.

01:17:42Can he conquer all in Montreal?

01:17:47Two championships will be on the line.

01:17:49The TNA Digital Media Championship

01:17:51and the International Heavyweight Wrestling Championship

01:17:54that the man PCO coveted years ago.

01:17:57Now the monster is focused on AJ Francis tonight at Slammiversary.

01:18:09The French-Canadian Frankenstein has crashed the party

01:18:14following the champion's challenge.

01:18:19What do you make of all this?

01:18:21I think PCO might have a crush on me.

01:18:24Will I go on a date with PCO?

01:18:28And my answer is...

01:18:33Oui!

01:18:53I'm taking care of business right here in TNA.

01:19:01Just like when I chokeslammed Steppenwander through the table

01:19:04and ruined their date.

01:19:06Who am I worried about but PCO?

01:19:07We broke his body.

01:19:08More importantly, we broke his heart.

01:19:10You're a fighting champion.

01:19:12You're a fighting champion.

01:19:14I have a very special opponent in mind

01:19:16who would stand for Digital Media Championship.

01:19:18But win or lose, I've got big news for you.

01:19:21Come Slammiversary, it's going to be you versus

01:19:24the French-Canadian Frankenstein, PCO.

01:19:29Oh!

01:19:30Queens and queens, the Philadelphia Strip Fight.

01:19:33Now look at first class beat the hell out of Rhino.

01:19:36It's PCO!

01:19:40Oh!

01:19:42And PCO down to the floor.

01:19:45PCO! PCO! PCO!

01:19:49This is broken PCO's heart.

01:19:51Will he break his body at Slammiversary?

01:20:14The following is a Montreal Strip Fight.

01:20:18And it is for the TNA Digital Media

01:20:21and the International Heavyweight Wrestling Championships.

01:20:26Introducing first, being accompanied by Rich Swann

01:20:29representing first class.

01:20:32He is berating and defending TNA Digital Media

01:20:36and the International Heavyweight Wrestling Champion

01:20:40AJ Rexson.

01:20:43He is indeed TNA's public enemy number one.

01:20:46Accompanied to the ring by not only Rich Swann

01:20:49of first class, but also Smoke Dizm.

01:20:52One of the more famous rappers in the world today.

01:20:55Friendly and has competed with, or performed with

01:20:57rather, Westside Gun, Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa,

01:21:00Cam'ron, the late, great Mac Miller.

01:21:03And also some heavyweight backup.

01:21:05The 300 pounder you can see marching towards the ring.

01:21:08That is Josh Bishop, who is signed to

01:21:13Westside Guns soon to be wrestling with.

01:21:25Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

01:21:32But PCO isn't coming here tonight.

01:21:37No.

01:21:39We took him and gave him a first class ass whooping already.

01:21:43Roll the footage.

01:21:45What is he talking about?

01:21:48And now it is Gucci down back.

01:21:54Press in piss.

01:21:59Enjoy your first last trip to hell.

01:22:02Come on man.

01:22:04What's wrong with him?

01:22:05Easy money.

01:22:07Easy money.

01:22:13We take out PCO?

01:22:20So what I need is a referee to come in this ring right now.

01:22:24Raise my hand and declare me the winner.

01:22:28Because I am, and still, the TNA Digital Media Champion.

01:22:33And still, the International Heavyweight Wrestling Champion.

01:22:37And still, the champion of Quebec.

01:22:42AJ FRANCIS!

01:22:51Hey buddy, you won't do shit.

01:22:53Don't bleach your hair again.

01:24:46He's here! He's here!

01:25:16He's here!

01:25:18He's here! He's here!

01:25:41Here is the aspirant for the TNA, Digital Media and heavyweight titles

01:25:49The International

01:25:51Accompanied tonight by his creator, The Destro

01:25:58Weighing 248 pounds

01:26:01Coming from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

01:26:07The French-Canadian

01:26:11Frankenstein

01:26:13B.C.O.

01:26:21A French-Canadian welcome to The Freak, The Monster himself

01:26:27What a display

01:26:30As if we should be surprised that nothing

01:26:33And I mean nothing

01:26:35Can kill, can put down B.C.O. for long time

01:26:39The bell is rung and this is a Montreal street fight

01:26:43No count outs, no disqualifications

01:26:45Case in point, first man to gain pinfall or submission

01:26:48Will be named the TNA Digital Media and the International Heavyweight Wrestling Champion

01:26:56Oh!

01:26:57I remember how this all started

01:26:59B.C.O. defeated Rick Swann and against the odds

01:27:02First class

01:27:03They sought to destroy the relationship between

01:27:06Steph Dillander and B.C.O.

01:27:08Oh!

01:27:09And now B.C.O. simply looks to destroy A.J. Francis

01:27:14B.C.O.! B.C.O.! B.C.O.!

01:27:23A.J. Francis puts Steph Dillander through a table

01:27:26On the first date between Steph and B.C.O.

01:27:29Dillander's been back in Australia recovering

01:27:32They've been attempting their long distance relationship ever since

01:27:36With D-Animator there by B.C.O.

01:27:39B.C.O.! B.C.O.! B.C.O.!

01:27:45This is as much about love and revenge as it is about championship gold however

01:27:51That's right, everything that's gotten so personal for B.C.O. and that

01:27:55Oh my god!

01:27:57B.C.O. salt!

01:28:01Takes out both Swann and Francis

01:28:04Take a look at this though

01:28:05D-Animator first set the table

01:28:09And then the B.C.O. salt cleared it off

01:28:13B.C.O.! B.C.O.!

01:28:17The man and the monster B.C.O. has been wrestling since 1987

01:28:23Never before has he wrestled on live television

01:28:26In his home city of Montreal

01:28:29He's come up for a table and now Rick Swann

01:28:32This is a horrible decision

01:28:34Hey Rick Swann stands by his boy

01:28:37Stands by his man

01:28:39Swann who got beat by Kushida on the countdown to Slammiversary

01:28:44Oh my regret wearing white pants

01:28:46Oh and A.J. Francis takes over thanks to the distraction by Swann

01:28:51Hey, no count outs, no disqualifications, divide and conquer if you can

01:28:59And you gotta believe A.J. Francis bought the International Heavyweight Wrestling Championship

01:29:04Because he knew the man B.C.O. had coveted that title for years

01:29:08First introduced in 1935 was all that the man B.C.O. ever wanted to capture in professional wrestling

01:29:17But he never held it

01:29:18You know who is holding it?

01:29:19A.J. Francis and that title's been more relevant than it has in probably what 50, 60, 800 years or something

01:29:27A.J. Francis bought the belt

01:29:30He's not the champion

01:29:32Wait a minute, wait a minute

01:29:35Oh and a big right hand to Swann and B.C.O. is still moving

01:29:42I mean we know it's gonna take a lot to put the monster down, put the monster away

01:29:53I never knew a monster could have so many friends and then I walked into Montreal

01:29:59This sold out crowd inside the Verdun Auditorium completely behind B.C.O.

01:30:03What the hell is Francis going for?

01:30:05Oh a small trash can

01:30:12Indenting the head of B.C.O. there

01:30:18And now some more plunder

01:30:28We are number one, we are number one

01:30:33A.J. Francis, he doesn't know what the hell that means, none of us do over here

01:30:38He ain't worried about it

01:30:40He's gonna find out

01:30:45Now B.C.O. put down off his feet here

01:30:49Could we get a little sip of bone?

01:30:53Look at that

01:30:54Look at that

01:30:55Tennis who rescues a knee strike

01:30:57Oh it's smooth but it's strong

01:31:00Hardy snapping a piece of that table under the strength of A.J. Francis

01:31:09I know there's a lot of people who despise A.J. Francis as an athlete

01:31:13Man played for six NFL franchises

01:31:16As a defensive lineman

01:31:18A 300 pound monster when he's ticked off

01:31:21He's ticked off and A.J. looks ticked off right now

01:31:24Look at this, A.J.'s throwing a bunch of chairs in the ring

01:31:27Swan complimenting him

01:31:31The canvas getting littered with steel chairs

01:31:44Look at that dumping, B.C.O. in that trash can

01:31:48The audio reverberation alone can pop an eardrum let alone this

01:31:58The skull of B.C.O. B.C.O.

01:32:12Oh my god

01:32:15How is B.C.O. still moving?

01:32:21He was literally reanimated before this match began

01:32:25Fair, I guess, stupid question to ask in this matchup

01:32:30It doesn't change the fact that it continues to astonish us

01:32:34What the French Canadian Frankenstein is capable of

01:32:37Very few have ever been able to keep him down

01:32:45B.C.O.

01:32:49Somewhere a masked man in an orphanage is smiling very brightly

01:32:52But it's not going to help B.C.O. here tonight

01:32:57The leg drop to retain both titles

01:33:00B.C.O. is still in it

01:33:03B.C.O.

01:33:10Oh, look at the strength now of A.J. Francis

01:33:19Oh my god, oh my god

01:33:21He's trying to launch B.C.O. into those tables at ringside

01:33:27B.C.O. managed again to fight off here

01:33:33B.C.O.

01:33:38Out of the corner and B.C.O. to meet Francis

01:33:46Francis went for the big close on

01:33:48A.J. Francis taken off his feet by B.C.O.

01:33:56Oh, you see B.C.O. pointing to the sky

01:33:59We've already seen one tonight

01:34:04Oh, now Francis

01:34:06Francis has got B.C.O. up ironically in the electric chair

01:34:09Drop into the steel chairs

01:34:13My god

01:34:16B.C.O. kept out

01:34:18You gotta take another look

01:34:20Look back at the

01:34:22From one chair to another

01:34:24The electric chair to the pile of steel

01:34:28But somehow

01:34:30The French-Canadian Frankenstein stays in the matchup

01:34:47Now it's A.J. Francis headed to the high rep district

01:34:50Or is he?

01:34:53Shot right in the throat there

01:34:55Oh my god, oh my god

01:34:57Waltzes through the tables

01:35:16A nasty crash landing for the Digital Media

01:35:20International Heavyweight Wrestling Champion

01:35:24Crumbling to the floor here

01:35:27Most tables just obliterated at ringside.

01:35:31Oh good, the monster takes time to tie his shoe.

01:35:36Safety first.

01:35:37Wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:35:39Look in the background there.

01:35:41Josh Bishop with that steel chair.

01:35:43Slope Dizzen sicking Josh Bishop on PCO.

01:35:47And that's why you bring in a hired hand, a hired gun like that.

01:35:52It's like a 300 pound monster reeling a steel chair.

01:35:59Again, it's all illegal in a Montreal street fight.

01:36:02Anything goes.

01:36:04Look at that, the points of the chair.

01:36:07The spine of those steel chairs together.

01:36:10Bishop, Bishop, he's got PCO up on his shoulders.

01:36:21Look at this.

01:36:23Oh my gosh.

01:36:25The tailbone into the top of the chairs.

01:36:28Good God.

01:36:33The way PCO bounces, ricochets off the spines of those chairs is disgusting.

01:36:42And wait a minute, Sammy Callaghan earlier on tonight.

01:36:45First class invited Callaghan to get a front row seat for this matchup.

01:36:50I think they're trying to get Callaghan in good places.

01:36:55Look at this, Swan not going to let it go down that way.

01:36:59Swan attacking Callaghan.

01:37:03A lot of history between those two.

01:37:08Callaghan backed up PCO, or rather PCO backed up Callaghan at Rebellion.

01:37:13I guess Callaghan also trying to return the favor tonight.

01:37:18Clearly rejecting first class's invite.

01:37:22And now he's going to pay for it.

01:37:26Oh, wait a minute.

01:37:30What the hell?

01:37:33The war machine is in Montreal.

01:37:40What is Rhino doing out here?

01:37:45Rhino has summoned at the hands of first class.

01:37:53And now look, Rhino in a bad place.

01:38:00Goal!

01:38:06Rhino eliminates Swan from the equation.

01:38:14PCO! PCO! PCO! PCO!

01:38:22And remember, this Montreal Street Fight is still going.

01:38:28Francis has been taken out through the tables.

01:38:31PCO somehow once again rises to his feet.

01:38:40The titles can only change hands via pinfall or submission in the ring.

01:38:47Is this the moment PCO has been waiting for?

01:38:56PCO assaults!

01:39:01Oh, and a kick out by Francis!

01:39:04Oh my God! Oh my God!

01:39:07Francis kicked out!

01:39:09Take a look at this, the gigantic PCO assault.

01:39:13But TMAJ Francis lives on.

01:39:20There are not many men that could say they've ever kicked out on the PCO assault.

01:39:29Oh!

01:39:31Up in the eye of Rhino Francis.

01:39:34Oh, look at this.

01:39:37Oh my God, and a tombstone pile driver!

01:39:45And fitting for a dead man to be put on!

01:39:48PCO kicked out!

01:39:50What?

01:39:53What?

01:39:59And now AJ Francis calling for the chokeslam, the down payment.

01:40:05Oh no, no way!

01:40:08Chokeslam into the chairs!

01:40:18And once again to the top.

01:40:23Another PCO assault!

01:40:28PCO wins in the trio!

01:40:33Here is your winner and new TNA Central Media and the International Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, PCO!

01:40:50What a journey! What a war that went down here at Slammiversary!
