00:00:00What a beautiful moment with his family here, traveling all the way from the United Kingdom to here in New York to support Leon Slater.
00:00:09Another absolutely incredible moment here at Slammiversary for...
00:00:15Wait a second!
00:00:30We always dreamed of this day!
00:00:46AJ Styles has come home!
00:00:50A man who defies the very essence and existence of the X Division.
00:01:07Showing up here after an incredible historic moment with a glisten in his eye if you're looking, folks.
00:01:15AJ Styles, the phenomenal one, is home!
00:01:20A man who defies the whole world with nothing in the future!
00:01:24Somehow I want anything to think about war and war!
00:01:28And so I saw you!!!
00:01:30You are! You are!
00:01:33Are you alive?
00:01:35You are! You are!
00:01:38Are you alive?
00:01:40That is my heart!
00:01:44That is my heart!
00:01:49TNA, did you miss me?
00:02:19You know it's been a long road, I here am in this ring, in this company where my name
00:02:42was built, I am the phenomenal A.J. Stiles.
00:02:49You know there was a time when they said, you may not be able to come back. But here I am,
00:03:02and I'm telling you, the lights are a little bit brighter here. The crowd is a little bit
00:03:12louder here. And Leon, the talent's better than it's ever been.
00:03:19You deserve it! You deserve it! You deserve it! You deserve it! You deserve it!
00:03:42Leon. Don't listen to him. You don't deserve it. You earned it. Leon Slater, the youngest
00:04:05X-Division champion in TNA history. Let that sink in. You didn't just impress me tonight,
00:04:20Leon. You made me realize why I love this business. It's guys like you who make people
00:04:30like me love what they do. So thank you for that.
00:04:37One of the biggest nights in TNA history and some of the brightest lights.
00:05:02One more match, one more match, one more match, one more match, one more match, one more match.
00:05:15Let me just talk about Leon for a second. We'll get back to that match. You showed everybody
00:05:24tonight that it's not about weight limits. It's about no limits. At least that was the
00:05:38foundation when I started. When I was in the X-Division, it was AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels,
00:05:43Samoa Joe, Frankie Kazarian, the Amazing Red, Homicide, Jerry Lynn. We were the foundation
00:05:59back then. But you, Leon, you are the future. And I would say that the X-Division is in phenomenal
00:06:10hands, my friend. So you've already made history tonight. The next step is to make your legacy.
00:06:28Ladies and gentlemen, the new TNA X-Division champion, Leon Slater.
00:06:54From the first face of TNA Wrestling to now the future of TNA.
00:07:01There's a lot of smoke and mirrors in our business. There's nothing more real than what we just saw.
00:07:14This was a moment we always hoped for. For the prodigal son to come home.
00:07:21This was a moment we always hoped for. For the prodigal son to come home.
00:07:28This was a moment we always hoped for. For the prodigal son to come home.
00:07:35This was a moment we always hoped for. For the prodigal son to come home.
00:07:37This was a moment we always hoped for. For the prodigal son to come home.
00:07:47This man's getting ESCAD. To the prodigal son. For the prodigal son-
00:07:56Aj, aka Lionheart
00:08:00You are!
00:08:02We're gonna keep flying for now
00:08:06You are!

00:09:16Oh, we welcome you back to the A-game hydration announce guest.
00:09:19I'm Tom Hannafinis, the Drama King, Matthew Raywalt.
00:09:21We are all still trying to collect ourselves after what we just saw.
00:09:25I cried. I definitely cried. I don't know about you.
00:09:27I mean, the emotions were very, very high for good reason.
00:09:32What an incredible, very real, raw moment here at Slammiversary.
00:09:36Well, the action continues tonight.
00:09:39It is the most phenomenal Slammiversary in history.
00:09:43We are moments away from seeing a four-team ladder match for the TNA World Tag Team titles
00:09:50as the Nemeth Brothers defend against the Rascals, First Class, and the Hardys.
00:09:55However, we have plenty of guests this evening here in Long Island, New York.
00:09:59Raywalt joining us here in the Impact Zone.
00:10:02Oh, well, he's the Hometown Man.
00:10:04There he is. Again, we can't seem to get rid of him.
00:10:08He shows up everywhere we go.
00:10:11And, of course, the Hometown crowd in full support of the quote-unquote Hometown Man.
00:10:17The Hometown Man defeated Eric Young earlier on tonight on the countdown to Slammiversary
00:10:21in an impromptu matchup.
00:10:23And I guess Cody Deter, the Hometown Man, we're not settling this right here.
00:10:27It's very, very complicated, but we are very, very proud of everything that's happened.
00:10:32And we mentioned this is the A-Game hydration announcement.
00:10:35That's right.
00:10:35Yes, A-Game was founded by Johnny Damon, two-time World Series champion,
00:10:42once with the Boston Red Sox, we won't mention that, and the New York Yankees.
00:10:46Johnny Damon, thank you for sponsoring Slammiversary with A-Game,
00:10:51and also Zach Clayton, who we've seen compete at TNA Wrestling Ring,
00:10:55joining us this evening for Slammiversary.
00:10:57Johnny Damon, I loved you on below deck.
00:11:02You're fanboying right now.
00:11:04Well, ladies and gentlemen, right now, we want to get set for this four-team ladder match
00:11:08for the TNA World Tag Team titles.
00:11:11Could it be the Hardys' last?
00:11:16We've always learned to be very honest with ourselves,
00:11:20and we both promised ourselves that we would never, ever be a shell of the team we once were.
00:11:27Since we've lost the TNA World Tag Team titles,
00:11:31we've also lost quite a few matches.
00:11:35Ryan Nemeth just pinned Jeff Hardy to win the TNA World Tag Team titles.
00:11:42Hell just froze over.
00:11:44It's time for another resurrection.
00:11:46If we don't win the World Tag Team titles back at Slammiversary,
00:11:52maybe it's time for the Hardy Party to end.
00:11:54See, if this was the year 2000,
00:11:57then yes, the Hardys could beat First Class.
00:12:00As far as Slammiversary is concerned,
00:12:03First Class is the uncrowned world champions.
00:12:07We're worried about the rascals.
00:12:09Wentz is in the foot-half of the tag team champions.
00:12:13We're worried about the Nimitz.
00:12:15I mean, the Hardys, you're not even the best brother tag team in TNA.
00:12:19No one can do what we do the way we do it,
00:12:23and we are never, ever sick as G.
00:12:25So if you're looking for the greatest brother tag team in the history of pro wrestling,
00:12:29you're looking at them, brother.
00:12:32No!
00:12:33The Demitz jumping the Hardys!
00:12:35There's one more piece of this puzzle for Slammiversary!
00:12:42The rascals are here!
00:12:44As the Hardys, one more time,
00:12:47climb the solid steel!
00:12:49Could they be coming back down
00:12:51with tag team gold
00:12:53at Slammiversary?
00:12:54Well, right now, let's take a look at the taglines
00:13:01ahead of this four-team ladder match
00:13:04for the TNA World Tag Team Titles.
00:13:05KC Navarro, First Class, is competing
00:13:07with an injured left knee.
00:13:09Meanwhile, Myron Reed is substituting in
00:13:11for Trey Miguel of the Rascals,
00:13:13who is out due to a hernia.
00:13:15This is Ryan Nemeth's first-ever ladder match.
00:13:19Meanwhile, this is the Hardys'
00:13:2118th ladder match as a duo,
00:13:24but as we heard this past Thursday on Impact,
00:13:26could it be their last?
00:13:28The tag titles hang above the ring
00:13:30tonight at Slammiversary.
00:13:54The following is a fatal form ladder match
00:14:01for the TNA World Tag Team Championship!
00:14:09Introducing first the challenger,
00:14:12the team of Myron Reed and Zachary Wins,
00:14:16the Rascals!
00:14:21Oh, the Rascals coming in here
00:14:23with a substitution,
00:14:25but it's a hell of a substitution
00:14:27in Myron Reed,
00:14:29a Rascal in his own right.
00:14:32So this fam,
00:14:33these boys from the Treehouse,
00:14:35they run deep, they run thick.
00:14:37And so luckily,
00:14:39at this momentous moment,
00:14:41they still have family by their side.
00:14:43Speaking of family,
00:14:44Myron Reed's here tonight
00:14:45features pictures of his children,
00:14:47Milo, Axl, and Ruby,
00:14:49his fiancee, Kelly,
00:14:51his little sister,
00:14:53who's unfortunately no longer with us,
00:14:54Kennedy,
00:14:55his baby sister, Journey,
00:14:56and his mom, Erica.
00:14:58Meanwhile, Zach Wentz,
00:14:59an animal lover,
00:15:00carrying a picture of his cat,
00:15:02pretty boy,
00:15:02who just passed away.
00:15:03A lot of honor and family
00:15:06on the side of the Rascals.

00:15:43I'm outside,
00:15:44I ain't why I be.
00:15:45Me and my brothers outside today,
00:15:47from that Mellority Cabaret,
00:15:49seen that Rolls Royce drive away,
00:15:50and she was in my bed on side today.
00:15:52Different days, different rips,
00:15:53different days, different chick,
00:15:543-0 block, he different.
00:15:56You can play with them switches,
00:15:57you see that system,

00:15:59I come from the south side,

00:16:03I seen the hop slide.

00:16:11We outside!
00:16:16We outside!
00:16:17We really outside,
00:16:23T-Rock!
00:16:24We really outside!
00:16:25First Class has got an entourage this evening,
00:16:283-0 black performing First Class's theme song,
00:16:32accompanying A.J. Francis and Casey Navarro,
00:16:35T-Rock, Lady Caution,
00:16:36Chester,
00:16:37Zach Paschal from the New York Giants,
00:16:39and Kazim Fahmuride,
00:16:40who's a huge media star here in the New York sports world.
00:16:45Yeah, I've done some broadcasting with Kaz on 4th row.
00:16:47Yes!
00:16:48What's he doing out here with the first class?
00:16:50He didn't tell me he was going to be here.
00:16:51Meanwhile,
00:16:52A.J. Francis paying homage to the notorious B.I.G.
00:16:55with his gear this evening.
00:16:57Casey Navarro, as I mentioned,
00:16:59is dealing with a left knee injury
00:17:01that I'm told is significant,
00:17:03but it speaks to the willpower and strength of Casey Navarro.
00:17:08One, two, three, four!
00:17:24Next,
00:17:25from the Hardy Compound,
00:17:28in Cameron, North Carolina,
00:17:32the team of Matt and Jeff Hardy!
00:17:41This is Matt Hardy's 33rd ladder match.
00:17:45It is Jeff Hardy's 39th ladder match.
00:17:48It is Jeff Hardy's 6th Slammiversary.
00:17:52Matt Hardy's 4th Slammiversary.
00:17:55The Hardys by the numbers have got to be
00:17:58arguably the greatest tag team in the history
00:18:02of professional wrestling.
00:18:04However,
00:18:04it's been rocky
00:18:06ever since losing the titles
00:18:08to the Nemeth brothers
00:18:09back at Rebellion.
00:18:10And they have been very upfront about that fact.
00:18:14They've been very upfront and honest
00:18:16about the fact that they are in
00:18:17the latter years of their career,
00:18:19but they want to prove
00:18:21that they can still go at the highest level
00:18:24or else
00:18:25that time might be coming faster
00:18:27than we think.
00:18:29And they are the Teenage
00:18:44World Tag Team Champions!
00:18:48Bryan and Nick Neveh!
00:18:55Now Nick Neveh has competed
00:18:57in 14 ladder matches.
00:18:59He made a name for himself
00:19:01in WWE's Money in the Bank ladder match.
00:19:04However,
00:19:04he's not been in a ladder match
00:19:06in 8 years.
00:19:07Meanwhile,
00:19:08as I mentioned moments ago,
00:19:09Bryan Neveh's never been in a ladder match.
00:19:12Okay,
00:19:12yeah,
00:19:13but did you know
00:19:14that when he was in 3rd grade,
00:19:16he wrote a script
00:19:17and his first ever one
00:19:19got an A-minus on it?
00:19:20Wow,
00:19:21that's impressive.
00:19:22The bell is rung.
00:19:23This four-team ladder match
00:19:25for the TNA World Tag Team Titles
00:19:27is underway.
00:19:28And Ryan Neveh
00:19:29getting a rude introduction
00:19:31to ladder match etiquette.
00:19:34Yeah,
00:19:35that's one way of saying it.
00:19:35Oh my God!
00:19:37And so is Casey Navarro.
00:19:40The heart is here
00:19:41controlling the ring
00:19:42with this ladder.
00:19:45Taking down the 330-pounder
00:19:47A.J. Francis.
00:19:48Early on,
00:19:49the Hardys are controlling the ring.
00:19:51The Hardys have got to be ecstatic
00:19:53to have seen Leon Slater
00:19:54capture the X Division title
00:19:56earlier on tonight.
00:19:58Of course,
00:19:59seeing A.J. Stiles
00:20:01earlier on this evening,
00:20:02I still have goosebumps from that.
00:20:05And an absolutely electric
00:20:07and history-making night
00:20:09and we're not even done.
00:20:10Now we're having a ladder match.
00:20:12Oh!
00:20:13Nick Nemeth suplexed
00:20:15into the ladder
00:20:16by Matt Hardy.
00:20:17Nemeth cannot get
00:20:19out of the blocks here
00:20:20in a desert perpetual of pain
00:20:22is one half
00:20:24of the tag team champions.
00:20:26The Hardys coming on strong
00:20:28here early.
00:20:28I mentioned Leon Slater.
00:20:30He was trying to talk
00:20:31some sense into the Hardys
00:20:32this past Thursday
00:20:33on Impact,
00:20:33trying to motivate them
00:20:35and get them focused
00:20:36on reclaiming
00:20:37the tag team titles.
00:20:39And the Hardys
00:20:40been very upfront
00:20:41about if they can't do this
00:20:43at the rate
00:20:44that they believe
00:20:45they should,
00:20:46at this highest rate,
00:20:47most extreme,
00:20:48which they built
00:20:49the foundations
00:20:49of their career on,
00:20:51then maybe it's time
00:20:52for them to say goodbye.
00:20:53The Hardys
00:20:54starting to climb,
00:20:55trying to reach
00:20:55for the TNA World
00:20:57tag team titles.
00:20:58You have to unlock
00:20:59one belt
00:21:00to win the matchup.
00:21:02Now the Hardys
00:21:02dropped down
00:21:04by A.J. Francis
00:21:05and I've said it many times,
00:21:07A.J. Francis
00:21:08is a difference maker.
00:21:11The biggest win
00:21:12in this match
00:21:13by far,
00:21:14no doubt about it.
00:21:15But now Myron Reed,
00:21:16this is the biggest opportunity
00:21:17of his career
00:21:19and he gets smoked
00:21:20by Francis.
00:21:21Now it is Francis
00:21:25and Navarro
00:21:26starting to
00:21:26take control
00:21:28of the ring.
00:21:29For those of you
00:21:30not familiar
00:21:31with Myron Reed,
00:21:32he is what we call
00:21:33an original rascal
00:21:34as been teaming
00:21:36with Zachary Wentz
00:21:37elsewhere in professional
00:21:38wrestling
00:21:38for the last
00:21:39eight years.
00:21:40So plenty of familiarity
00:21:41between those two,
00:21:42but this is a
00:21:43huge situation
00:21:44for Myron Reed
00:21:45to be a late substitution
00:21:47for Trey McGill.
00:21:48Oh!
00:21:49You want to, of course,
00:21:50send
00:21:50our thoughts
00:21:51and our love
00:21:52to Trey McGill.
00:21:52I know he's at home
00:21:53watching this
00:21:54right now.
00:21:55Our boy Trey
00:21:56gets better soon.
00:21:57Oh, dear God.
00:21:58A.J. Francis
00:21:59running right
00:22:01into Ryan Nemeth.
00:22:02Now Nick Nemeth
00:22:03gets clocked.
00:22:05He's got Myron Reed
00:22:06and the ladder
00:22:07in hand.
00:22:09Just molly-whopping
00:22:11fools in here.
00:22:12Oh, down goes
00:22:13Jeff Hardy.
00:22:15A.J. Francis
00:22:16clearing the field
00:22:17and a world-strong
00:22:18a slam
00:22:19to Myron Reed
00:22:20into the ladder.
00:22:26Casey Navarro
00:22:27more than happy
00:22:28to smile
00:22:29and watch
00:22:29as the destruction
00:22:31is laid out.
00:22:35Throwing the ladder up.
00:22:37Wait a second.
00:22:39Are they really
00:22:40going to try this?
00:22:41There's plenty
00:22:43of ladders.
00:22:45The assist here
00:22:45by A.J. Francis.
00:22:47They tried to pull this
00:22:48at Ultimate X
00:22:49back at Rebellion
00:22:50when the X Division
00:22:51title was at stake.
00:22:52And look out.
00:22:54Oh, and Zachary
00:22:55wins.
00:22:55Wentz wipes out
00:22:56first class.
00:23:01Long way down
00:23:02for Casey Navarro
00:23:04there.
00:23:05Do you ever wish
00:23:06you could be
00:23:06in one more ladder
00:23:07match?
00:23:08I haven't been
00:23:08in any ladder
00:23:09matches.
00:23:09Oh, I thought you had been.
00:23:10No.
00:23:11I somehow avoided
00:23:12that one.
00:23:13Are you lucky?
00:23:14And now Myron Reed
00:23:15hit right to the
00:23:17back of the neck
00:23:17of A.J. Francis.
00:23:19Double knees
00:23:20there by Wentz.
00:23:22Myron Reed now.
00:23:25What's he got in mind?
00:23:26Tossed to the outside
00:23:27but wait back in.
00:23:28Oh, code breaker
00:23:29there by Myron Reed.
00:23:31The young goat.
00:23:33Beautiful rebound there.
00:23:35And now
00:23:36what has Wentz
00:23:38got in mind here?
00:23:42What the hell
00:23:43are the rascals
00:23:43thinking about here?
00:23:44Wentz and Reed
00:23:46going to ride
00:23:46the steel.
00:23:48Crashing down
00:23:49on A.J. Francis.
00:23:54Could another
00:23:55iteration of the
00:23:56rascals capture
00:23:57the TNA World
00:23:58Tag Team titles
00:23:59tonight?
00:24:00And look out.
00:24:00Oh, flame on!
00:24:02Flame on!
00:24:05Absolutely unreal
00:24:07from Myron Reed.
00:24:13Meanwhile,
00:24:14Francis still laid out
00:24:16in the center of the
00:24:16ring.
00:24:16Take another look
00:24:17back though.
00:24:18Myron Reed
00:24:19to the outside.
00:24:22Good God!
00:24:23The cutter to the
00:24:24outside calls that
00:24:25flame on.
00:24:28And now look at this.
00:24:29A.J. Francis is
00:24:30pinned under the ladder
00:24:31as Zachary Wentz
00:24:32is starting to climb.
00:24:34And wait a second.
00:24:35Francis flipped in the
00:24:36ladder.
00:24:36Oh!
00:24:37And oh!
00:24:38Oh!
00:24:38Wentz into Navarro
00:24:40splitting the ladder!
00:24:42For the love of Lodi!
00:24:44My God!
00:24:46That ladder just
00:24:47snapped!
00:24:48Now Francis going to
00:24:49check on Casey Navarro.
00:24:53And he wasn't hurt
00:24:55before.
00:24:55He is now.
00:24:56He's going to be an
00:24:57economy after this.
00:24:58First class might be
00:24:59down to A.J.
00:25:00Francis.
00:25:00He might have to do
00:25:01this on his own.
00:25:04Now Francis.
00:25:06Oh!
00:25:06Slowed up by Matt
00:25:08Hardy.
00:25:09Justin, the nick of
00:25:10time.
00:25:10The Hardys back
00:25:11into the fray here
00:25:12with not only the
00:25:14titles but potentially
00:25:15their legacy on the
00:25:17line.
00:25:17Twist of faith!
00:25:22The titles hanging
00:25:23in the balance here
00:25:24at the Union of
00:25:25Serena on Long
00:25:26Island, New York.
00:25:30Boom!
00:25:30A time bomb!
00:25:32The Hardys trying to
00:25:34eliminate the largest
00:25:35man in this match,
00:25:36A.J. Francis.
00:25:38Francis taking more
00:25:39damage than a raid
00:25:41boss on contest
00:25:42mode.
00:25:42Finally eliminated
00:25:44from the ring.
00:25:47And the Hardys have
00:25:49the moment to climb.
00:25:51Matt and Jeff trying
00:25:52to get to the titles.
00:25:53What an angle we
00:25:54have there.
00:25:55Now the Nemeth
00:25:55brothers taking down
00:25:57the Hardys.
00:25:58The Nemeths who
00:25:59believe they're the
00:26:00greatest brother tag
00:26:02team in the history
00:26:03of TNA and all
00:26:04of professional
00:26:05wrestling.
00:26:06Three hits!
00:26:08Big Hollywood
00:26:09ending there by
00:26:10Ryan Nemeth.
00:26:11Meanwhile, Matt
00:26:12Hardy looking for a
00:26:13side effect
00:26:14fought off by
00:26:15Danger Zone!
00:26:16and now the tag team
00:26:19champions have cleared
00:26:21the ring.
00:26:27Ryan Nemeth
00:26:28is talking
00:26:32tracks of
00:26:32Johnny Damon.
00:26:33I don't know how wise
00:26:36that is.
00:26:39Oh, Johnny Damon
00:26:40shoved Ryan Nemeth!
00:26:42Hey, look, I know
00:26:43there's no DQ, but come
00:26:44on, man!
00:26:45Johnny Damon, this isn't
00:26:46the first time he's gotten
00:26:47involved in a TNA event.
00:26:49It's been 20 years since
00:26:50that fateful turning point.
00:26:54Well, either way, the tag
00:26:56team champions can't be
00:26:57too bothered.
00:26:58They've got to focus on
00:26:59climbing that ladder
00:27:00and getting those
00:27:01titles.
00:27:02The Nemeth brothers
00:27:03believe they have an
00:27:04opportunity
00:27:05trying to climb the
00:27:07ladders, trying to
00:27:08unhook one of the
00:27:09title belts to win
00:27:10this matchup.
00:27:12Well, now Myron
00:27:12Reed in pursuit,
00:27:14in pursuit.
00:27:15Zachary Wiggs on the
00:27:16back of Nick Nemeth.
00:27:17Look at this, four men
00:27:19sharing one ladder.
00:27:20That's dangerous.
00:27:22Oh, wait a minute,
00:27:22wait, Casey
00:27:23Navarro is back
00:27:24into the fight.
00:27:26Tipping everybody
00:27:27over.
00:27:29Oh, now Navarro.
00:27:32Navarro with a steel
00:27:33chair going after
00:27:34Myron Reed.
00:27:37No disqualifications.
00:27:39First team to climb
00:27:40the ladder and unhook
00:27:41one of the title
00:27:41belts.
00:27:42It will be the TNA
00:27:43World Tag Team
00:27:44champions.
00:27:46Navarro trying to
00:27:48clear the field
00:27:48for first class.
00:27:56We've already seen
00:27:57a ladder
00:27:59and busted
00:27:59as if it was a
00:28:01table.
00:28:03Wait a second,
00:28:04Navarro.
00:28:06What the hell is
00:28:07Casey thinking here?
00:28:08He's moving the
00:28:09ladder a little
00:28:10to the off-center
00:28:11over to the corner
00:28:12there.
00:28:13Meanwhile, A.J.
00:28:14France has been
00:28:14rearranging furniture
00:28:16on the outside.
00:28:17Meanwhile, Jeff Hardy's
00:28:18doing the same.
00:28:19We saw Matt and Jeff
00:28:20Hardy completely
00:28:20reimagine full-metal
00:28:22mayhem at this past
00:28:24bound for glory
00:28:25to cap off that
00:28:26triple main event.
00:28:27You can only imagine
00:28:28what's going through
00:28:28everybody's heads
00:28:30in this match.
00:28:31What in the hell
00:28:33is happening?
00:28:35A.J., you're a little
00:28:36off, buddy.
00:28:37what is this man
00:28:41thinking?
00:28:45Oh, my God,
00:28:46the world's
00:28:47largest moonsault!
00:28:49Holy hell!
00:28:52Good God!
00:29:03Take another look.
00:29:04Believe it if you can.
00:29:06A.J.
00:29:07Francis, the biggest
00:29:09man in this match
00:29:10by far,
00:29:11moonsaulting off
00:29:12the ladder.
00:29:14Absolutely
00:29:15unreal.
00:29:16But does A.J.
00:29:20Francis now
00:29:20have a clear path
00:29:22to grab
00:29:23one of the
00:29:23championships?
00:29:25He has a clear path
00:29:26to two of them.
00:29:29All by himself
00:29:30and Navarro.
00:29:32The legs
00:29:32starting to get
00:29:33the better of him,
00:29:34but climbing
00:29:34nonetheless.
00:29:35J.C. Navarro
00:29:37joining A.J.
00:29:39Francis on the
00:29:39climb.
00:29:40Will they be able
00:29:41to capture
00:29:42the TNA World
00:29:43Tag Team
00:29:44titles?
00:29:45The fingertips
00:29:45are there.
00:29:46They're so
00:29:47very close.
00:29:48And wait.
00:29:51Hold on a sec.
00:29:52Myra Reid,
00:29:53Zachary Wentz.
00:29:54Oh, good Lord.
00:29:55Oh, first class
00:29:57through the ladders!
00:29:58Good God!
00:30:00Good God!
00:30:06Francis and Navarro
00:30:07were bent up
00:30:08in that ladder.
00:30:10Two more ladders
00:30:11demolished
00:30:13at ringside.
00:30:14watch this one
00:30:16more time.
00:30:17Navarro and
00:30:18Francis
00:30:19smashing into
00:30:21these ladders.
00:30:21Look at the
00:30:22leg of A.J.
00:30:24Francis!
00:30:25Good God!
00:30:27A nasty landing
00:30:29if I've ever
00:30:30seen one.
00:30:31Back inside the
00:30:32ring, the Rascals
00:30:33trying to climb
00:30:34the ladder,
00:30:34trying to get
00:30:35to the titles,
00:30:35but there are the
00:30:36Hardys attempting
00:30:37to delete
00:30:38the Rascals.
00:30:45Wentz has no
00:30:46idea where he's at.
00:30:47He's in there
00:30:47with his idols,
00:30:48but he's...
00:30:49No kidding,
00:30:49a brain been
00:30:50deleted two ways
00:30:51from Sunday.
00:30:53I'm going for a
00:30:54twist of fate.
00:30:55Oh!
00:30:56A cutter!
00:30:58Version of the
00:30:59plot twist there
00:31:00by the Hardys.
00:31:01And now a
00:31:02side effect
00:31:02by Matt Hardy.
00:31:04He won that!
00:31:11What is now
00:31:13going through the
00:31:13mind of charismatic
00:31:14enigma here?
00:31:16More destruction
00:31:17perhaps.
00:31:21The Hardys believe
00:31:22they have to go
00:31:23all out tonight
00:31:25at Slammiversary
00:31:26to win the TNA
00:31:27World Tag Team
00:31:29titles,
00:31:29to prove themselves
00:31:30to the world.
00:31:32And they are
00:31:33doing just that.
00:31:34What is going
00:31:35through...
00:31:35Matt Hardy
00:31:36laying out
00:31:36Zachary Wentz
00:31:38on one of
00:31:38these ladders
00:31:39and now...
00:31:40Oh, God!
00:31:43The twisted
00:31:44mind of the
00:31:45Hardys here.
00:31:48Oh, wait a
00:31:49second.
00:31:53What?
00:31:54Jeff Hardy
00:31:55here!
00:31:56Oh, God!
00:31:57Going up
00:31:58top!
00:32:00From the
00:32:01twist of fate
00:32:02to riding the
00:32:03very edge
00:32:03of fate!
00:32:04Five!
00:32:04Wow!
00:32:05Todd
00:32:06Bob to the
00:32:07Rascals
00:32:07into the ladders!
00:32:15Jeff Hardy
00:32:16one wasn't good
00:32:18enough.
00:32:19He wants
00:32:19absolute destruction.
00:32:22The Hardys
00:32:23trying to eliminate
00:32:23all the other
00:32:24teams.
00:32:26Swat
00:32:26Todd
00:32:27bomb
00:32:27destroying the
00:32:30Rascals!
00:32:34Good Lord!
00:32:35Good Lord!
00:32:45Seemingly every ladder
00:32:46out here at ringside
00:32:49has been demolished, Tom.
00:32:51How is anybody going to climb
00:32:52and grab those tag team
00:32:54titles?
00:32:55Take a look back here.
00:32:56Here's how the last ones
00:32:57were destroyed by
00:32:59Jeff Hardy
00:33:00against the
00:33:00Rascals.
00:33:02The Swanton
00:33:02bomb
00:33:03into the ladder.
00:33:05But right now
00:33:06back to live action.
00:33:07What the hell are the
00:33:08Hardys doing?
00:33:09I think Matt Hardy
00:33:10is going to the back
00:33:11to look for a fresh
00:33:12ladder, but Jeff Hardy
00:33:13is looking to the sky.
00:33:15What the hell?
00:33:18Jeff Hardy...
00:33:19What has he got
00:33:21in his hand?
00:33:23The hell?
00:33:26Oh my God!
00:33:27What?
00:33:28What is this?
00:33:29Batman 1966?
00:33:33All the other ladders
00:33:34are broken!
00:33:36And Jeff Hardy
00:33:37does re-imagine
00:33:38the ladder match!
00:33:41And now Matt Hardy...
00:33:42I got a ladder
00:33:43just in case
00:33:44even he's caught
00:33:45off guard.
00:33:46Yeah, Matt Hardy

00:33:47of the stage
00:33:48confused as all
00:33:49hell!

00:36:29Leave it to the Hardys at 30-plus years in the game to somehow entirely reinvent how to win a damn ladder match.
00:36:43Holy crap.
00:36:45The Hardys have enjoyed a renaissance since the return to TNA Wrestling, and they have reimagined every last scenario they have walked into.
00:36:59They wanted to prove that they could still do this at the highest level.
00:37:06They've done just that.
00:37:08Take a look back at some of the early action.
00:37:10Francis, the powerhouse, exploiting everyone.
00:37:14Ladders and bodies flying absolutely everywhere.
00:37:19Now, as this match continued, the bodies were broken, and the ladders were broken.
00:37:30First class taken out in a horrific way at ringside, and ultimately, this ingenious use of a ladder by Jeff Hardy helped Matt and Jeff Hardy capture their fourth TNA World Tag Team Championship.
00:37:47An absolutely game-changing way to reclaim your place at that top of a tag team mountain here in TNA.
00:38:00The ultimate innovators do it yet again.
00:38:04Oh, my God!
00:38:23The TNA Hall of Famer!
00:38:27One half of Team 3D!
00:38:30Bully Ray!
00:38:31A man who wreaked havoc on this company for nearly a year.
00:38:43Walks down, I mean, history both good and bad with both the Hardys.
00:38:48What is on the mind of Bully Ray?
00:38:55Bully Ray surveying the carnage!
00:38:57And locking eye to eye
00:39:01With two old friends
00:39:04With two old foes
00:39:45Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on another World Tag Team Championship.
00:39:54You guys are catching up.
00:40:07Another amazing match by the Hardy Boys.
00:40:14And congratulations for being one of the reasons why tonight is an attendance record for TNA.
00:40:24A record that we set in 2013.
00:40:50But I'm not here for that.
00:40:57I got a damn good reason why I'm here tonight.
00:41:01And I think the entire wrestling world knows why.
00:41:1025 years ago, the Hardys and the Dudleys made history in New York.
00:41:27The first ever tag team tables match at the Royal Rumble.
00:41:36And we stole the Mother Truckin' Show.
00:41:45And since then, our paths have crossed here and there.
00:41:49You went on to greatness.
00:41:51We went on to greatness.
00:41:52And there's always that talk about who is the greatest tag team of all time.
00:41:58I think you, me, and everybody in here can agree.
00:42:18Obviously, the greatest tag team of all time are the Road Warriors.
00:42:28But the most successful, you got a lot of championships.
00:42:33We got a lot of championships.
00:42:35That's not what this is all about.
00:42:37What this is about is giving wrestling fans all over the world the last great tag team match of all time.
00:42:54This is about something special.
00:42:57This is about something that can never, ever happen again.
00:43:02So, this is what I got for you.
00:43:08October.
00:43:12Bound for glory.
00:43:17Hardys.
00:43:19Team 3D.
00:43:24One last match.
00:43:32That is a great point and a great question.
00:44:01Because at Bound for Glory, you're going to hear one last time.
00:44:18Give on!
00:44:23One, two, three!
00:44:26Give on!
00:44:31The challenge has been laid down.
00:44:42Team 3D.
00:44:44The Hardys.
00:44:45Bound for glory.
00:44:47One last match.
00:44:49In a year that's already made so much history for TNA, especially in the modern, especially in the modern era.
00:45:03It might be a chance to put some history to bed.
00:45:06Come Bound for Glory.
00:45:09That absolutely momentous challenge laid out by Bully Ray here tonight.
00:45:14This has been a phenomenal night in the history of TNA Wrestling, but it's just gone to a completely different level.
00:45:23Slammiversary officially kicks off our path towards Bound for Glory.
00:45:28And we can tell you at this time, Bound for Glory 2025 will be on Sunday, October 12th in Lowell, Massachusetts.
00:45:37The pre-sale begins one week from Wednesday on July 30th.
00:45:42And the general on sale begins on Friday, August 1st.
00:45:46It all goes down at the Songus Center in Lowell, Massachusetts.
00:45:50Head to TNAWrestling.com to get your tickets in the very near future.
00:45:55Could we see Hardys vs. Team 3D at TNA Wrestling's biggest event of the year, Bound for Glory?
00:46:03We're shipping on down toward Boston Way, ready to make even more history, more moments, and the best matches on the damn planet.
00:46:11Well, Slammiversary officially begins the path to Bound for Glory, but we are not done this evening on Long Island, New York.
00:46:19We are moments away from our main event as Trick Williams from NXT is set to defend his TNA World Championship against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana in a three-way matchup.
00:46:32Right now, we want to throw back to our Countdown to Slammiversary panel on the stage.
00:46:41Ladies and gentlemen, we are moments away from our gigantic main event.
00:46:53But first, I would like to draw attention to the fact that one of the members of the panel is missing, G.M. Miller, was attacked by Tessa Blanchard.
00:47:04It was disgusting. It was uncalled for.
00:47:07And I'm going to announce it right now that Tessa Blanchard is suspended indefinitely.
00:47:16Good.
00:47:18Son of my gun, I'm not playing around no more. That was wrong.
00:47:22But, of course, moving forward to our epic main event, a three-way where the TNA World Champion Tricky William will defend the title versus Joe Hendry and Mike Santana.
00:47:36Now, I'm going to ask the panel for their predictions.
00:47:43Mr. Snake. I'm somewhat of a snake guy myself. May I have your prediction, please?
00:47:49Tonight belongs to Mike Santana.
00:47:55Mr. LaGreca.
00:47:56Mike Santana.
00:48:01Tommy the Dreamer.
00:48:08Wait a minute.
00:48:10We are joined by the self-proclaimed king of TNA, Frankie Kazarian.
00:48:29Tommy, with all due respect.
00:48:33Actually, I don't respect you at all, Tommy.
00:48:39And I don't give a damn about your prediction.
00:48:43I certainly don't care about a prediction from anybody from your stupid-ass Mark radio show.
00:48:52LaGreca, you suck.
00:48:55In his slam-a-versary, we are celebrating TNA itself.
00:49:01We are celebrating new attendance records.
00:49:05And we are celebrating the king of TNA, Frankie Kazarian.
00:49:10And look, I don't care who you wheeled out here earlier.
00:49:21Nobody has done more for this company than me.
00:49:27I am the uncrowned TNA world champion.
00:49:32I should be in this main event tonight.
00:49:34And since I'm not, I'm going to walk down to the ring, sit my fine ass down right there,
00:49:41and do some commentary.
00:49:43And if you don't like that, you have permission to hate me now.
00:49:53Okay, ladies and gentlemen.
00:49:55I have one more question for everybody here.
00:49:59Are you ready for the main event?
00:50:04Now let's watch the video screen and see exactly how we got to this moment.
00:50:21I lost.
00:50:24I lost to Trick Williams.
00:50:27I lost the TNA world championship to someone who doesn't even work here.
00:50:34And that is painful.
00:50:37You were here for my ascension.
00:50:40And now I need you for my redemption.
00:50:45The TNA world champion, Trick Williams.
00:50:54There may be no saving TNA from Trick Williams.
00:51:00You know who held this goal before?
00:51:02People like Kurt Angle.
00:51:04People like AJ Styles.
00:51:07But none of them can compare to Trick Williams.
00:51:10When you mention the world title, you mention my damn name.
00:51:17I'm going to be the one that's going to take the TNA world title from you.
00:51:24Mike, I respect your passion.
00:51:28And one day you will be the man here.
00:51:31But you are going to respect me.
00:51:33These people are still chanting.
00:51:36We believe.
00:51:37In New York.
00:51:39In front of my family.
00:51:41My friends.
00:51:43My city.
00:51:44And my culture.
00:51:45That I've carried on my back since day one.
00:51:47I'm the guy who needs to bring back our most prestigious prize.
00:51:53Yes.
00:51:53The people believe in Mike Santana.
00:51:56But does the world believe in him more?
00:51:58In Joe Hendry.
00:51:59This ain't about making people believe.
00:52:02This ain't about making promises to your daughter.
00:52:04It's about getting the job done.
00:52:06And that's why I'm the greatest TNA champion of all time.
00:52:10It's Trick and Nate.
00:52:11And it's always going to be Trick and Nate.
00:52:13Do Joe Hendry or Mike Santana have what it takes to bring back the TNA World Championship?
00:52:22Or will TNA Wrestling's nightmare continue at Slammiversary?
00:52:34As we get set for the main event, let's take a look at the tale of the tape.
00:52:39What a year it has been for Joe Hendry.
00:52:41He will go down as arguably the most important TNA World Champion in history.
00:52:46Meanwhile, Mike Santana, a four-time TNA World Tag Team Champion,
00:52:50has been on a roll for the last 16 months.
00:52:53But all eyes are on Trick Williams, the reigning TNA World Champion.
00:52:58Every member of the TNA Wrestling family wants to see that World Championship
00:53:04brought home tonight at Slammiversary.
00:53:07Say his name and he appears.
00:53:14I believe in Joe Hendry.
00:53:17I believe in Joe Hendry.
00:53:20Because you're up in London and Paris and Tokyo.
00:53:25America's starting in Canada and Mexico.
00:53:29They say, I believe in Joe Hendry.
00:53:32I believe in Joe Hendry.
00:53:36Tonight is about redemption for Joe Hendry.
00:53:41The heights that he took the TNA World Championship to cannot be questioned.
00:53:47However, the low that he experienced at WWE Battleground is resting on his mind.
00:53:53Joe Hendry is out to reclaim the TNA World Championship.
00:53:58And joining us here on commentary for our main event.
00:54:01Because, of course, Frank, you have to make this about you.
00:54:05This incredible night for TNA Wrestling.
00:54:07You've just got to make it all about you, don't you?
00:54:10You're damn right I make it about me.
00:54:12The biggest night in TNA history.
00:54:14And you didn't think I was going to be here.
00:54:16One of the founding fathers.
00:54:17One of the OGs.
00:54:18One of the architects.
00:54:19The guys that built this company.
00:54:21You're lucky I'm here.
00:54:22I'm not in a good mood.
00:54:24I'm the uncrowned TNA World Champion.
00:54:30That is why I'm here tonight, Tom.
00:54:39Joe Hendry is not alone in challenging.
00:54:43Yeah, yeah.
00:54:47Hey, yo, are you ready for the King of New York?
00:54:50Let's go.
00:54:50I never don't fall, fall from the wicked tree.
00:54:54Put depression at its misery.
00:54:56It lives in me, but I fight.
00:54:58Cause the light at the end of the tunnel will deliver peace.
00:55:01Be the epitome.
00:55:02A left jab, right hook.
00:55:04Give it these.
00:55:05I'm reminded that we all got to kill the weak.
00:55:07Mind and feel slighted.
00:55:08Get up.
00:55:09And do something.
00:55:10Fool stuff.
00:55:11Give a jab and talk.
00:55:12Stack the rock.
00:55:13To the bone blown past the competition.
00:55:15I just haven't stopped.
00:55:16And listen to my gut.
00:55:17Woke up to no funksgiving.
00:55:18Another day, another chance to be great.
00:55:21Knees never late to me, though.
00:55:23Your face opts are known, but don't take it there.
00:55:26Fast every option.
00:55:30Boy, nasty.
00:55:31What else can I say?
00:55:32Roll stronger cause I chose today.
00:55:35Santana, what's good?
00:55:38Let's go.
00:55:39Bring your best.
00:55:40Can I bring the peace?
00:55:41Off the leash.
00:55:42Fangs need flex.
00:55:43Trumpies displace.
00:55:44Thumbs on my chest.
00:55:45Hard rest when the war is over.
00:55:47Each day, I feel closer to the stars.
00:55:49How can I not keep going?
00:55:52We already came this far apart.
00:55:54My emotions don't want to close the butt.
00:55:55Pain to not keep a cordial.
00:55:57Fuel up.
00:55:57Use the love to heal.
00:56:00Last quarter vibes.
00:56:02I made peace with hell.
00:56:04Wonder one's closer than the best.
00:56:06Being nothing with respect is lost.
00:56:09Hitting y'all with the catcher stick.
00:56:11Fall wires.
00:56:12Hoping my heart's high.
00:56:13The key beat of Boy Nasty Breathing.
00:56:17Boy Nasty, what else can I say?
00:56:19Roll stronger cause I chose today.
00:56:22Make some noise for the King of New York.
00:56:27And when I say sin, y'all say candor.
00:56:30Sin.
00:56:31Sin.
00:56:32And when I say sin, y'all say candor.
00:56:35Sin.
00:56:36Sin.
00:56:37Welcome home, the King of New York.
00:56:40The proud of the Bronx.
00:56:44The proud of Puerto Rico.
00:56:48Sent that up.
00:56:53We home, baby.
00:56:58Stand up.
00:57:03Feel slightly.
00:57:05Get up.
00:57:06Full stuff.
00:57:07Dibba Jabba Jabba Jab.
00:57:09To the burn blown past the competition.
00:57:12Listen to my gut.
00:57:13Walk up to no fuck's giving.
00:57:15Another day, another chance to be grand.
00:57:18Me go.
00:57:19You think I should know.
00:57:20But you take it there.
00:57:22Smash every obstacle.
00:57:23Leaving nothing to prepare.
00:57:26Boy Nasty, what else can I say?
00:57:28Roll stronger cause I chose today.
00:57:30Stop laughing.
00:57:31Cloud thinking that it's gonna stay.
00:57:33Nothing but my legacy away.
00:57:34Bring your best and I'll bring the beast.
00:57:37Off the leash, bangs, knees, flex.
00:57:39Jumpies to stay.
00:57:40Swords on my chest.
00:57:41Hard rest when the war is over each day.
00:57:44Feel closer to the stars.
00:57:46How can we not keep going?
00:57:48We already came this far.
00:57:50So what do something?
00:57:53Puerto Rico.
00:57:55The King of New York is home.
00:57:59Make some noise for Jameson.

01:04:52have more of a home field advantage this night
01:04:54Hendry and Santana have had to team together
01:04:57as we've seen over the last few weeks
01:04:59it's been contentious
01:05:01they have worked together well at times
01:05:02but I've said it for a number of weeks

01:05:20to hold that title
01:05:21if Joe Hendry would have done that
01:05:22he would have never lost that title
01:05:24and an outsider
01:05:24would not now be the champion
01:05:26well to your point
01:05:26maybe he could have done that
01:05:27at WWE Battleground
01:05:29but Joe Hendry's a better man than you

01:05:32Joe Hendry's a dumber man than me
