00:00away from seeing a four team ladder match for the TNA World Tag Team titles as the
00:06Nemeth brothers defend against the Rascals, First Class, and the Hardys.
00:11However, we have plenty of guests this evening here in Long Island, New York.
00:15Ray Walt, joining us here in the Impact Zone, well, he's the hometown man.
00:20There he is, again, we can't seem to get rid of him.
00:24He shows up everywhere we go.
00:27And, of course, the hometown crowd in full support of the quote-unquote hometown man.
00:32The hometown man defeated Eric Young earlier on tonight on the countdown to Slammiversary in an impromptu matchup.
00:39And I guess Cody Dier, the hometown man, we're not settling this right here.
00:43It's very, very complicated, but we are very, very proud of everything that's happened.
00:48And we mentioned this is the A-Game hydration announced.
00:50A-Game was founded by Johnny Damon, two-time World Series champion, once with the Boston Red Sox, we won't mention that, and the New York Yankees.
01:02Johnny Damon, thank you for sponsoring Slammiversary with A-Game, and also Zach Clayton, who we've seen compete at TNA Wrestling Ring, joining us this evening for Slammiversary.
01:13Johnny Damon, I loved you on below deck.
01:18You're fanboying right now.
01:20Well, ladies and gentlemen, right now, we want to get set for this four-team ladder match for the TNA World Tag Team titles.
01:26Could it be the Hardys' last?
01:28We've always wanted to be very honest with ourselves, and we both promised ourselves that we would never, ever be a shell of the team we once were.
01:42Since we've lost the TNA World Tag Team titles, we've also lost quite a few matches.
01:50Ryan Nemeth just pinned Jeff Hardy to win the TNA World Tag Team titles.
01:57Hell just froze over.
02:00It's time for another resurrection.
02:02If we don't win the World Tag Team titles back at Slammiversary, maybe it's time for the Hardy Party to end.
02:10See, if this was the year 2000, then yes, the Hardys could beat First Class.
02:16As far as Slammiversary is concerned, First Class is the uncrowned world champions.
02:22We're worried about the Rascals.
02:24Wentz is in the foot-amp of the tag team champions.
02:28We're worried about the Nimitz.
02:30I mean, the Hardys, you're not even the best brother tag team in TNA.
02:36No one can do what we do the way we do it, and we are never, ever sick at sea.
02:40So if you're looking for the greatest brother tag team in the history of pro wrestling, you're looking at them, brother.
02:48No!
02:48There's one more piece of this puzzle for Slammiversary.
02:57The Rascals are here!
03:00As the Hardys one more time climb the solid steel, could they be coming back down with Tag Team Gold at Slammiversary?
03:10Well, right now, let's take a look at the taglines ahead of this four-team ladder match for the TNA World Tag Team titles.
03:21KC Navarro at First Class is competing with an injured left knee.
03:25Meanwhile, Myron Reed is substituting in for Trey Miguel of the Rascals, who is out due to a hernia.
03:31This is Ryan Nemeth's first-ever ladder match.
03:34Meanwhile, this is the Hardys' 18th ladder match as a duo, but as we heard this past Thursday on Impact, could it be their last?
03:43The tag titles hang above the ring tonight at Slammiversary.
03:48The following is a title for ladder match.
04:05The following is a Fatal 4 ladder match for
04:18the TNA World Tag Team Championship.
04:25Introducing first the challenger,
04:28the team of Myron Lee and Zachary Wynn,
04:32the Rascals.
04:37The Rascals coming in here with a substitution,
04:41but it's a hell of a substitution.
04:44And Myron Reed, a rascal in his own right.
04:47So this fam, these boys from the Treehouse, they run deep, they run thick.
04:53And so luckily, at this momentous moment, they still have family by their side.
04:59Speaking of family, Myron Reed's here tonight,
05:02features pictures of his children, Milo, Axel, and Ruby,
05:05his fiancee, Kelly, his little sister, who's unfortunately no longer with us,
05:10Kennedy, his baby sister, Journey, and his mom, Erica.
05:13Meanwhile, Zach Lentz, an animal lover, carrying a picture of his cat,
05:17pretty boy who just passed away.
05:19A lot of honor and family on the side of the Rascals.
05:24We outside.
05:26We outside.
05:42We outside.
05:44We outside.
05:46Outside, yeah, we outside, yeah, we outside, we gon' slide, don't ask me why I meant, you already know why I beat, I ain't hiding from no cameras, I'm outside, I ain't why I beat, me and my brothers outside today,
06:02run down Manorita Cabaret, seen that Rolls Royce drive away, that she was in my bed on Saturday, different day, different rips, different day, different cheap, 3-0 block, eat different, you can play with them switches, you see that system, start bein' different, I come from the south side, these rappers ain't outside, they be perpetrating, I seen the opps sliding, yeah, yeah, we outside,
06:28we outside, we really outside, we really outside, we really outside, First Class has got an entourage this evening, 3-0 black performing First Class's theme song, accompanying AJ Francis and KC Navarro,
06:50Tay Rock, Lady Caution, Chess, Zach Paschal from the New York Giants, and Kazim Famuyuride, who's a huge media star here in the New York sports world.
07:01Yeah, I've done some broadcasting with Kaz on 4th row, what's he doin' out here with First Class?
07:05He didn't tell me he was gonna be here, meanwhile, AJ Francis paying homage to the notorious B.I.G. with his gear this evening,
07:12KC Navarro, as I mentioned, is dealing with a left knee injury that I'm told is significant, but it speaks to the willpower and strength of KC Navarro.
07:24Next, from the Hardy Compound in Cameron, North Carolina, the team of Matt and Jeff Hall!
07:54This is Matt Hardy's 33rd ladder match, it is Jeff Hardy's 39th ladder match,
08:04it is Jeff Hardy's 6th Slammiversary, Matt Hardy's 4th Slammiversary, the Hardys by the numbers have gotta be arguably the greatest tag team in the history of professional wrestling,
08:19However, it's been rocky, ever since losing the titles to the Nemeth brothers back at Rebellion.
08:26And they have been very upfront about that fact.
08:29They've been very upfront and honest about the fact that they are in the latter years of their career, but they want to prove that they can still go at the highest level,
08:39or else that time might be coming faster than we think.
08:44And they are the Teenage World Tag Team Champions!
09:04Now Nick Nemeth has competed in 14 ladder matches, he made a name for himself in WWE's Money in the Bank ladder match.
09:19However, he's not been in a ladder match in eight years.
09:22Meanwhile, as I mentioned moments ago, Ryan Nemeth's never been in a ladder match.
09:27Okay, yeah, but did you know that when he was in third grade, he wrote a script and his first ever one got an A-minus on it?
09:36Wow, that's impressive. The bell is rung. This four-team ladder match for the TNA World Tag Team Titles is underway and Ryan Nemeth getting a rude introduction to ladder match etiquette.
09:49Oh my God! And so is Casey Navarro. The Hardys here controlling the ring with this ladder.
09:58Taking down the 330-pounder AJ Francis. Early on, the Hardys are controlling the ring. The Hardys have got to be ecstatic to have seen Leon Slater capture the exhibition title earlier on tonight.
10:12Earlier on tonight. Of course, seeing AJ Styles earlier on this evening, I still have goosebumps from that.
10:21Absolutely electric and history-making night, and we're not even done. Now we're having a ladder match.
10:28Oh! Nick Nemeth suplexed into the ladder by Matt Hardy.
10:33Nemeth cannot get out of the blocks here in a desert perpetual of pain as one half of the Tag Team Champions.
10:41The Hardys coming on strong here early. I mentioned Leon Slater. He was trying to talk some sense into the Hardys this past Thursday on Impact,
10:48trying to motivate them and get them focused on reclaiming the Tag Team Titles.
10:54And again, the Hardys have been very upfront about if they can't do this at the rate that they believe they should, at this highest rate, most extreme,
11:03which they've built the foundations of their career on, then maybe it's time for them to say goodbye.
11:08The Hardys starting to climb, trying to reach for the TNA World Tag Team Titles.
11:13You have to unlock one belt to win the matchup.
11:17Now the Hardys dropped down by AJ Francis, and I've said it many times, AJ Francis is a difference maker.
11:25Biggest win in this match by far, no doubt about it.
11:30And now Myron Reed, this is the biggest opportunity of his career, and he gets smoked by Francis.
11:36Now it is Francis and Navarro starting to take control of the ring.
11:45For those of you not familiar with Myron Reed, he is what we call an original rascal, has been teaming with Zachary Wentz elsewhere in professional wrestling for the last eight years.
11:55So plenty of familiarity between those two, but this is a huge situation for Myron Reed to be a late substitution for Trey Miguel.
12:03Oh!
12:04We want to, of course, send our thoughts and our love to Trey Miguel.
12:07I know he's at home watching this right now.
12:10Our boy Trey get better soon.
12:12Oh, dear God.
12:13AJ Francis running right into Ryan Nemeth.
12:17Now Nick Nemeth gets clocked.
12:20He's got Myron Reed and the ladder in hand.
12:24Just molly whopping fools in here.
12:27Oh, down goes Jeff Hardy.
12:29AJ Francis clearing the field, and a world's strongest slam to Myron Reed into the ladder.
12:37KC Navarro more than happy to smile and watch as the destruction is laid out.
12:50Throwing the ladder up.
12:52Wait a second.
12:54They really gotta try this?
12:57There's plenty of ladders.
13:00The assist here by AJ Francis.
13:02They tried to pull this at Ultimate X back at Rebellion when the X Division title was at stake.
13:08And look out.
13:09Oh, and Zachary Wentz wipes out first class.
13:16Long way down for KC Navarro there.
13:21Do you ever wish you could be in one more ladder match?
13:23I haven't been in any ladder matches.
13:24Oh, I thought you had been.
13:25No.
13:27I somehow avoided that one.
13:28Yeah, you're lucky.
13:30And now Myron Reed.
13:31And a kick right to the back of the neck of AJ Francis.
13:34Double knees there by Wentz.
13:37Myron Reed now.
13:40What's he got in mind?
13:41Toss to the outside, but wait back in.
13:43Code breaker there by Myron Reed, the young goat.
13:47Beautiful rebound there.
13:50And now, what has Wentz got in mind here?
13:54What the hell are the Rascals thinking about here?
13:59Wentz and Reed gonna ride the steel.
14:02Crashing down on AJ Francis.
14:05Could another iteration of the Rascals capture the TNA World Tag Team titles tonight?
14:14And look out.
14:15Oh!
14:16Flame on!
14:17Flame on!
14:18Flame on!
14:19Absolutely unreal from Myron Reed.
14:24Meanwhile, Francis still laid out in the center of the ring.
14:32Take another look back though.
14:33Myron Reed to the outside.
14:37Good God!
14:38The cutter to the outside calls that flame on.
14:42And now look at this.
14:44AJ Francis is pinned under the ladder as Zachary Wentz is starting to climb.
14:49Wait a second.
14:50Francis lifting the ladder.
14:52And oh!
14:53Wentz into Navarro, splitting the ladder.
14:57For the love of Lodi, my God!
15:01That ladder just snapped.
15:03And now Francis going to check on Casey Navarro.
15:06And he wasn't hurt before, he is now.
15:11He's gonna be an economy after this.
15:13First class might be down to AJ Francis.
15:15He might have to do this on his own.
15:17Now Francis, slowed up by Matt Hardy.
15:23Just in the nick of time, the Hardys back into the fray here.
15:28With not only the titles, but potentially their legacy on the line.
15:32Twist of fate!
15:37The titles hanging in the balance here at the Union of Serena on Long Island, New York.
15:44Boom!
15:46The Hardys trying to eliminate the largest man in this match, AJ Francis.
15:52Francis taking more damage than a raid boss on contest mode.
15:57Finally eliminated from the ring.
15:59And the Hardys have the moment to climb.
16:05Matt and Jeff trying to get to the titles.
16:08What an angle we have there.
16:10Now the Nemeth brothers taking down the Hardys.
16:13The Nemeths who believe they're the greatest brother tag team in the history of TNA and all of professional wrestling.
16:21Big Hollywood ending there by Ryan Nemeth.
16:26Meanwhile, Matt Hardy looking for a side effect fought off by Nick Danger Zone.
16:33And now the tag team champions have cleared the ring.
16:37Ryan Nemeth.
16:42What are you doing here?
16:43Ryan Nemeth.
16:47He's talking trash with Johnny Damon.
16:50I don't know how wise that is.
16:55Johnny Damon shoved Ryan Nemeth.
16:58Hey, look, I know there's no DQ, but come on, man.
17:00Johnny Damon, this isn't the first time he's gotten involved in a TNA event.
17:04It's been 20 years since that fateful turning point.
17:10Either way, the tag team champions can't be too bothered.
17:13They gotta focus on climbing that ladder and getting those titles.
17:17The Nemeth brothers believe they have an opportunity.
17:20Trying to climb the ladders.
17:22Trying to unhook one of the title belts to win this matchup.
17:26Oh, now Myra and Ryan in pursuit.
17:28In pursuit.
17:30Zachary Wentz on the back of Nick Nemeth.
17:32Look at this.
17:33Four men sharing one ladder.
17:35That's dangerous.
17:36Wait a minute, wait.
17:37Casey Navarro is back into the fight.
17:40Tipping everybody over.
17:46Now Navarro.
17:47Navarro with a steel chair going after Myron Reed.
17:50No disqualification.
17:53First team to climb the ladder and unhook one of the title belts.
17:57Will be the TNA World Tag Team Champions.
17:59Navarro trying to clear the field.
18:04For first class.
18:07We've already seen a ladder busted as if it was a table.
18:17Wait a second, Navarro.
18:20What the hell is Casey thinking here?
18:23He's moving the ladder a little to the off center over to the corner there.
18:27And meanwhile AJ Francis has been rearranging furniture on the outside.
18:32Meanwhile Jeff Hardy is doing the same.
18:34We saw Matt and Jeff Hardy completely reimagine Full Metal Mayhem at this past year's
18:39bound for glory to cap off that triple main event.
18:42I can only imagine what's going through everybody's heads in this match.
18:46What in the hell is happening?
18:49AJ, you're a little off buddy.
18:52What is this man thinking?
18:59Oh my god, the world's largest moonsault!
19:05Holy hell!
19:07Holy shit!
19:08Holy shit!
19:09Holy shit!
19:10Holy shit!
19:11Holy shit!
19:12Holy shit!
19:13Holy shit!
19:14Holy shit!
19:15Holy shit!
19:16Holy shit!
19:17Holy shit!
19:18Take another look.
19:20Believe it if you can.
19:22AJ Francis, the biggest man in this match by far.
19:26Moon salting off the ladder.
19:29Absolutely unreal.
19:30But does AJ Francis now have a clear path to grab one of the championships?
19:40He has a clear path to two of them.
19:45All by himself.
19:46But Navarro, the legs starting to get the better of him.
19:49But climbing nonetheless.
19:51J.C. Navarro joining AJ Francis on the climb.
19:55Will they be able to capture the TNA World Tag Team titles?
20:00The fingertips are there.
20:01They're so very close.
20:03And wait.
20:06Hold on a sec.
20:07Myra Reid.
20:08Zachary Wentz.
20:09Oh, good lord.
20:10Oh, first class through the ladders!
20:14Good!
20:15Good!
20:16Good!
20:21Francis and Navarro were bent up in that ladder.
20:25Two more ladders demolished at ringside.
20:30Watch this one more time.
20:32Navarro and Francis smashing into these ladders.
20:37Look at the leg of AJ Francis!
20:40Good god!
20:42Nasty landing if I've ever seen one.
20:46Back inside the ring, the Rascals trying to climb the ladder,
20:49trying to get to the titles.
20:51But there are the Hardys attempting to delete the Rascals.
21:00Quince has no idea where he's at.
21:02He's in there with his idols, but he's...
21:04No kidding, a brain been deleted two ways from Sunday.
21:09Now going for a twist effect.
21:10Oh!
21:11A cutter!
21:14Version of the plot twist there by the Hardys.
21:16And now a side effect by Matt Hardy.
21:19He won that!
21:27What is now going through the mind of charismatic enigma here?
21:31More destruction, perhaps.
21:33The Hardys believe they have to go all out tonight at Slammiversary to win the TNA World Tag Team titles.
21:46To prove themselves to the world.
21:48And they are doing just that.
21:50What is going through?
21:51Matt Hardy laying out Zachary Wentz on one of these ladders.
21:54And now...
21:55Oh, God!
21:59The twisted mind of the Hardys here.
22:04Oh, wait a second.
22:09What?
22:10Jeff Hardy here.
22:11Oh, God.
22:13Going up top!
22:14From the twist of fate to riding the very edge of fate.
22:19My God!
22:20Whoa!
22:21Todd Bomb to the Rascals!
22:23Into the ladders!
22:31Jeff Hardy.
22:33One wasn't good enough.
22:34He wants absolute destruction.
22:36The Hardys trying to eliminate all the other teams.
22:41Slow Todd Bomb!
22:44Destroying the Rascals!
22:49Good Lord!
22:50Seemingly every ladder out here at ringside has been demolished, Tom.
23:06How is anybody going to climb and grab those Tag Team titles?
23:10Take a look back here.
23:11Here's how the last ones were destroyed by Jeff Hardy against the Rascals.
23:16The Swanton Bomb into the ladder.
23:20But right now, back to live action.
23:22What the hell are the Hardys doing?
23:23I think Matt Hardy was going to the back to look for a fresh ladder,
23:27but Jeff Hardy's looking to the sky.
23:30What the hell?
23:34Jeff Hardy?
23:35What is he got in his hand?
23:39The hell?
23:41Oh, my God!
23:42What?
23:43What?
23:44What is this, Batman 1966?
23:49All the other ladders are broken,
23:51and Jeff Hardy has reimagined the ladder match.
23:56And now Matt Hardy, I got a ladder just in case.
24:00Even he's caught off guard.
24:01Yeah, Matt Hardy's at the top of the stage.
24:04Confused as all hell.
24:05This is the most TNA thing I think I've ever seen.
24:10The game continues to change.
24:14Jeff Hardy beginning to climb.
24:17Oh, now the Nemeth brothers trying to get Jeff Hardy.
24:21My God!
24:22This is incredibly dangerous.
24:26Now the Nemeth brothers trying to protect their Tag Team titles.
24:30By any means necessary, gouging at the eyes of Jeff Hardy.
24:34And now Ryan Nemeth starting to climb.
24:39Oh, and Matt Hardy cracking him with a ladder.
24:43Oh, down goes Ryan.
24:45Super kick by Nick Nemeth.
24:48Now Ryan trying to hold it for Nick there.
24:51Nick Nemeth trying to get to the championships.
24:57Hardy, Jeff Hardy's got his hands on him.
25:00Jeff Hardy dragging Nick Nemeth back down to the mat.
25:05Oh!
25:10The chair coming into play, paying dividends for Matt Hardy here.
25:15The Nemeth's been a thorn in the side of the Hardys for months now.
25:19The ringside area is pure wreckage.
25:26Wait a second.
25:29Everyone on their feet here at the UBS Arena.
25:32Look at this, the twisted minds of the Hardys.
25:36Three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, two, one.
25:42Dulling twists of fate with the chairs.
25:51Have the Nemeth brothers been taken out of the equation?
25:55And now Hardy holding the base.
25:58Can Jeff Hardy now use this ingenious and twisted idea to climb once again to tag team glory?
26:09Jeff Hardy on the ascent.
26:11The Hardys have done it again.
26:16The Hardys have done it again.
26:17Here are your winners and new TNA World Tag Team Champions.
26:36The Hardys!
26:45Leave it to the Hardys at 30 plus years in the game to somehow entirely reinvent how to win a damn ladder match.
26:57Holy crap!
27:00The Hardys have enjoyed a renaissance since the return to TNA Wrestling.
27:06And they have reimagined every last scenario they have walked into.
27:11They wanted to prove that they could still do this at the highest level.
27:21They've done just that.
27:23Take a look back at some of the early action.
27:25Francis, the powerhouse, exploiting everyone.
27:29Ladders and bodies flying absolutely everywhere.
27:34Now as this match continued, the bodies were broken and the ladders were broken.
27:45First class taken out in a horrific way at ringside.
27:50And ultimately this ingenious use of a ladder by Jeff Hardy helped Matt and Jeff Hardy capture their fourth TNA World Tag Team Championship.
28:02An absolutely game-changing way to reclaim your place at the top of the tag team mountain here in TNA.
28:16The ultimate innovators do it yet again.
28:19Oh my god!
28:21The TNA hall of famer!
28:28Oh, my God!
28:39The TNA Hall of Famer, one half of Team 3D, Bully Ray.
28:52A man who wreaked havoc on this company for nearly a year.
28:58Watch that, I mean, history both good and bad with both the Hardys.
29:04What is on the mind of Bully Ray?
29:11Bully Ray surveying the carnage and locking eye to eye
29:17with two old friends and two old foes.
29:29Can't waste them.
29:36Watch out, watch out, watch out, pull up my phone.
29:43Watch out, watch out, watch out.
29:47Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on another World Tag Team Championship.
30:17You guys are catching up.
30:22Another amazing match by the Hardy Boys.
30:29And congratulations for being one of the reasons why tonight is an attendance record for TNA.
30:47TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA!
30:54TNA! TNA!
30:56TNA! TNA!
30:58TNA!
31:00A record that we set in 2013.
31:06But I'm not here for that.
31:13I got a damn good reason why I'm here tonight.
31:21And I think the entire wrestling world knows why.
31:2625 years ago, the Hardys and the Dudleys made history in New York.
31:43The first ever tag team tables match at the Royal Rumble.
31:52And we stole the mother trucking show.
32:01And since then, our paths have crossed here and there.
32:05You went on to greatness.
