Transcript

00:00The truth is, the system is unbeatable.

00:06I'm unbeatable.

00:12You see, I haven't lost a singles match in almost two years.

00:20And there isn't one soul in that locker room

00:26that could beat me.

00:29In fact, it's gotten so bad that they've tried to bring in

00:35outsiders to take the system out.

00:41But the outcome remains the same,

00:45because we are the greatest group professional wrestling.

00:52Yes.

00:53Hold on a second, we have some company here in the impact zone.

01:01The director of authority, Santino Marella,

01:04is on the case here in Chicago.

01:14Moose, take it easy, OK?

01:15Look, I'll give credit where credit is due.

01:19You're in the middle of a pretty impressive title run, OK?

01:22But it's just the way you do things,

01:24it makes you look like a real son of a gun.

01:28Watch your mouth.

01:29Watch your mouth, Santino.

01:31And yes, it's difficult to find a contender for you,

01:34but that's only because the TNA roster is stacked.

01:38It's jacked.

01:41We have a plethora of top tier talent,

01:44and it's difficult to pick just one.

01:45That's why I used my brains.

01:50And I came up with something called

01:51The Road to Slammiversary.

01:53You see, over the next few weeks,

01:55we're going to have five matches.

01:57And the winner of each match is going

02:00to go on to Slammiversary and face you

02:04in a six-way elimination match for that TNA world title.

02:13Hey, hey, Dango, or Dirty Johnny,

02:18or Curtis Stoogerman, whatever you're going by these days.

02:24Don't think for one second I didn't see what

02:26happened at Against All Odds.

02:28So you got a match coming up with Ryan Nemeth,

02:31and that's coming up tonight.

02:36Hey, Moose, by the way, if I were you,

02:38there's a match you might be interested in tonight, too.

02:41You see, The Road to Slammiversary,

02:43well, it starts tonight.

02:45It's Josh Alessandro versus Eric Young in the main event.

02:54So pay attention.

02:59Tonight in our main event, Josh Alexander

03:03against Eric Young, who will qualify

03:06to compete for the TNA world title at Slammiversary.

03:11I can't believe I'm saying this.

03:13PCO and Step Delander will finally have their date here

03:18tonight in the Impact Zone.

03:21Right now, The Hex is rolling against Spitfire.

03:24Great teamwork here.

03:26Allison Kaye is legal.

03:27Shoulders down, and a kick out by Jodi Threat.

03:31No doubt going to be an exciting and interesting night

03:34of TNA Impact, but can Spitfire get out

03:38of this hole that has been dug courtesy of The Hex?

03:42Tag made, in comes Marty Bell.

03:45Oh, shot right to the face.

03:47A cheap shot there at Danny Luna.

03:50Double knees there by Marty Bell,

03:52and this is what The Hex is capable of.

03:54On the cover by Bell.

03:56Oh, and a kick out.

03:58And again, we saw the temper here.

04:01Jodi Threat, she is the wild child.

04:03That temper costs her in the singles match

04:05you mentioned with Tasha Seals.

04:07Can she keep that in check and use it as a tool

04:11when necessary?

04:12Don't get me wrong, that level of intensity

04:14is great in a pro wrestling match,

04:17but only at the right time.

04:18Reminds me of your former tag team championship partner.

04:20Hold on.

04:21Trying to take Danny Luna away.

04:23The distraction of Kaye prevented the tag option

04:26for Jodi Threat, and Marty Bell trying

04:29to control the wild child.

04:30Good luck with that.

04:31Here comes Luna.

04:33We got the tag shortly.

04:36Very, very quickly.

04:38Cut off at the pass, but Spitfire back.

04:41In control, Danny Luna turning this match on its head.

04:44Luna gets one back on Allison Kaye.

04:47TNA, TNA, TNA, TNA, TNA, TNA, TNA, TNA, TNA, TNA, TNA, TNA.

04:50Chance of TNA here in Chicago.

04:54Now Danny Luna back into the ring.

04:56Oh, big kick to Bell.

04:59Luna into the cover, hook to the leg.

05:00Kaye breaking it up.

05:02Just in the nick of time.

05:03Again, two very well-versed tag teams

05:06here in the knockouts division.

05:09Spitfire, this really feels, nothing technically

05:12on the line here, but it feels like a must-win situation.

05:15And not looking good at the moment.

05:18There's a cover, hook to the leg.

05:20Oh, and Bell cannot end the matchup.

05:23It is the first tag team matchup for Threat and Luna

05:26as a duo in some time here in TNA,

05:28ever since losing the tag titles to the militia at Under Siege.

05:32And it looked like a hex was trying to set up

05:34for Hex Marks the spot.

05:36Luna felt it coming and pushed Kaye into the corner.

05:39Huge forearm right to the jaw of Marty Bell there.

05:45Kaye trying to attack Luna.

05:47Look at this, Luna's protecting Jodi Threat.

05:50Guarding in the pocket there, Threat off the top.

05:55That's great tag team wrestling.

05:56You make the tag and Luna's standing there

05:59to set up the high-impact offense.

06:01It's more than just tags and double teams.

06:03It's having your partners back.

06:05Here we go.

06:06Jodi Threat setting up Luna.

06:09One, two, three.

06:11And Spitfire is beating the Hex.

06:18Competitors will be joining the TNA world champion Moose

06:22in a six-way elimination match for the world title

06:26at Slammiversary Live on pay-per-view

06:28in TNA Plus in Montreal on Saturday, July 12.

06:32The neckbreaker delivered by Steel.

06:35Well, if it's up to Ace Steel, here's the cover.

06:38Is it over?

06:39On a kick out.

06:40If it's up to Steel here, Frankie Kazarian

06:43won't make it to that Road to Slammiversary qualifying match.

06:46Oh, the first qualifying match goes down

06:48tonight in our main event.

06:49It's Alexander versus Young.

06:51That's still to come.

06:52Also, the new associate and ally,

06:55I suppose, of the system, Johnny Dango Curtis,

06:58faces Ryan Nemeth later on as Kazarian

07:01was going for the chicken wing.

07:02They're on Steel.

07:03Great counter there by Ace Steel.

07:06Able to get away from the very dangerous chicken wing,

07:08but look out.

07:10Slingshot DDT.

07:11Kaz scrambles for a cover.

07:13Hook to the leg here.

07:15And a kick out by Steel.

07:16Also still to come tonight, Ash by Elegance is in action.

07:20And in this very ring, we will see PCO and Steph

07:24Dillander's first date.

07:26A far cry from what we're seeing right now.

07:28Yeah, I don't know what's going to be nasty or that

07:30or what's happening right now in the ring.

07:33A chicken wing with the kendo stick.

07:36Oh, and Steel with the low blow.

07:39It's perfectly legal in a Chicago street fight.

07:42Just because you can't doesn't mean you should.

07:45That's a new low for Ace Steel.

07:47Boy, you move the goalposts all the time.

07:52Hold on.

07:53Just call it like I see it.

07:54Look at that chair still in the hands of Ace Steel.

07:57Look out.

07:58Oh, face first.

08:01Kazarian punishing him.

08:08Now, what is on the mind of the king of TNA?

08:14That's Steel.

08:15Oh, god.

08:16Oh, god.

08:17Wait a minute.

08:17Look at the chairs they're set up.

08:19Frankie Kazarian going for fade to black on the Steel chairs.

08:24Good night.

08:26Kazarian wins the Chicago street fight.

08:30Here's your winner, Frankie Kazarian.

08:35Oh, you pick a fight with a king.

08:37You better be ready to face the gallows.

08:40And that's exactly what happened to Ace Steel.

08:42And Kazarian has got himself a victory,

08:46propelling him forward into his Road to Slammiversary

08:49qualifying matchup in the coming weeks,

08:51where he will go one-on-one with Mike Santana.

08:54Hold on.

08:55Wait a minute.

08:56Oh, and another application of the chicken wing

08:58here by Frankie Kazarian, saying that he did to Hendry.

09:02Oh!

09:03Oh, god.

09:04Hold on now.

09:05I believe in Joe Hendry.

09:09Joe Hendry looking for some payback from against all odds.

09:13And NXT standing ovation to Kazarian.

09:22Save his payback.

09:24The world believes in Joe Hendry.

09:28Well, right now, we want to turn our attention to the fallout

09:31from against all odds, specifically

09:33for the X Division champion, Mustafa Ali.

09:36From Tokyo, America, Scotland, and Canada, and Mexico,

09:41they say, I believe in Joe Hendry.

09:44Oh, my god.

09:45Oh, this could be a perfect moment.

09:48Oh, hold on.

09:49Hold on.

09:50Thank god.

09:50Hold on.

09:51Hold on.

09:52Hold on.

09:52Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

09:55Now, now, now, now, now.

09:58If it isn't love at first fright.

10:02See, PCO, if you think for one second

10:07that we were going to let you dive on me

10:11and put your hands on Rich Homie Swan, hell, no.

10:19Hold on now.

10:20Calm down.

10:22We're here.

10:24Listen, we just want to give you a toast

10:28to eternal, undead love, right?

10:32Right?

10:38See, that's the problem with cheap wine.

10:40The next morning, it feels like you got kicked in the head.

10:45Oh!

10:54Oh!

10:55Oh, god!

10:55Oh, no!

10:57AJ Francis has gone too far in the middle of their first date.

11:03Oh, taken down, PCO!

11:08First class out here, absolutely scrambling

11:13this strange attempt at a date.

11:18After what PCO did to AJ Francis.

11:22Oh, look at this.

11:23Rich Swan has his zip tie.

11:27And AJ Francis is the one interfering

11:30in Swan versus PCO.

11:31And against all odds, Perfect Creation 1

11:34was trying to take out AJ.

11:36All right, Swan incapacitating.

11:38PCO is defenseless.

11:43Oh!

11:44And AJ Francis deserved that from Steph DeLander.

11:55Oh, wait.

11:56Hold up.

11:56Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, not this!

11:58Not this!

12:01Oh, PCO is watching a Steve DeLander get

12:04obliterated through a table.

12:14Steph DeLander!

12:19And we'll do it again, and again, and again,

12:22until you get the message.

12:24First class, ain't that right?

12:26Yeah?

12:32First class has destroyed Steph DeLander and PCO

12:39on their first date.

12:41Love can't conquer all.

12:44First class stands above.

12:53And I'm going to say it again, Ash by Elegance

12:55coming to the defense of the Knockouts World title.

12:58Then, of course, she ultimately sinks.

13:00She sinks it.

13:01She's too much of a coward, however, to take it open,

13:03challenge it against all odds.

13:05That's exactly what Jordan Grace would want.

13:07Ash by Elegance does things on her time.

13:10And now Heather Reckless with an opening here

13:12against Ash by Elegance.

13:14Boom, right to the face.

13:18Oh, and an open palm strike by Reckless.

13:23And Reckless here acting rather reckless.

13:27Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.

13:28Look at the personal concierge holding

13:30onto the foot of Ash by Elegance.

13:32So Heather Reckless couldn't pull off that move.

13:36What are you talking about?

13:37Ash by Elegance, the stalwart athlete, hits rarefied air,

13:41was able to withstand Heather Reckless and get the win.

13:48Here's your winner.

13:49I got this, I got this.

13:52You get the hell out of here.

13:53Ladies and gentlemen, your winner, Ash by Elegance.

14:01Ha ha, the juggernaut.

14:05Yeah, the juggernaut.

14:08There you go, sending a message straight

14:11to the Knockouts World Champion.

14:15Get her.

14:16Oh, now attacking Heather Reckless after the fact.

14:18Get her.

14:19Show her what the juggernaut does.

14:20Get her.

14:21And that's without more than just a pretty face.

14:23Oh, look at this.

14:24Wait a minute, trying to set up for the juggernaut driver.

14:27Hold up, hold up.

14:29Ash by Elegance has made the biggest mistake of her life,

14:32mocking the TNA Knockouts World Champion.

14:35Ah, you better be careful.

14:36Grace might be the one making a mistake here.

14:40Oh!

14:42I don't think so, Ray Walt.

14:43Oh, wait, wait.

14:44Oh, come on.

14:47And Jordan Grace in no mood.

14:50You've made your point.

14:51This is how it's done.

14:52Oh, and the Purse of Cassius.

14:54No, no, no.

14:56Monsieur, monsieur, I would not do that.

14:58I would not do that.

15:20Jordan Grace is about to rearrange his face.

15:22Oh, no, Ash by Elegance attacking Grace from behind.

15:26She stole his watch, and look out.

15:30No, no, no, with a knockout to her old title.

15:33No.

15:34And a vision of an elegant future stands before you here.

15:46I hope Jordan Grace knows what she's gotten into.

15:50That's unlike most people in this business.

15:56Yeah, everything he did it against all odds was completely justified the way that you put it.

16:01He just did it for his friends, right?

16:03Hey.

16:04Not because the system has a lot of control on all the gold here in TNA.

16:08Just because you've never had a friend willing to do anything for you,

16:13doesn't mean that what he did wasn't for his friends, for the people who have had his back.

16:17Curtis said it himself, we haven't seen him in months.

16:20The last time he competed was in a fantastic match against Josh Alexander.

16:25It was absolutely spectacular.

16:27We saw a glimpse of what JDC is capable of as an athlete.

16:30If he puts all the foonery to the side, when he gets in between the ropes,

16:35when the bell rings, he's an outstanding wrestler.

16:38Ultimately, he wasn't getting that phone call, was he?

16:41So he called the system.

16:43Hey, you just made my point for me, because he's proving it.

16:46He's been proving it in this match, but Ryan Nemeth finding a way to turn it around.

16:50He did have an excellent performance.

16:52And what happened on the heels of that?

16:54Absolutely squat.

16:56So yeah, he's a little ticked off.

16:58DDT there by Nemeth.

17:00And now the Hollywood Hunt with the neck breaker.

17:04Take a roll into the floor, though, strategic move there from Curtis.

17:10JDC sent back into the ring by Ryan Nemeth.

17:14Oh!

17:16Curtis kicked the middle rope, creating a low blow.

17:20The official is sent.

17:22And now the air raid crash.

17:25And Dango not done yet.

17:27Going back up to the tees off of the Rizzo Pier.

17:33Down and dirty by Johnny Dango Curtis.

17:45Here's your winner, JDC.

17:50And there you have it.

17:51I was just about to say, you got to imagine the boys in the system

17:55were happy to see how that all went down.

17:59I hope the TNA World Champion Moose was watching as well.

18:05Myers and Edwards celebrating with JDC after the victory.

18:12Oh, and now look at this.

18:14All three men attacking Ryan Nemeth after the match.

18:19Statement has been made.

18:21Why not add an exclamation point?

18:23Oh, look out, look out!

18:28There's Nick Nemeth, Ryan's brother.

18:31Nick Nemeth beating the hell out of JDC in the system.

18:36Somebody else who's known JDC for quite a long time.

18:41And now the Nemeths go after Curtis and the rest of the system.

18:46Oh, down goes Edwards.

18:48Wait for a super kick and Myers gets out of dodge.

18:54The dream of the Nemeths was dashed and against the law

18:57by Curtis in the system.

19:00They have not forgotten.

19:01Both these guys here on Alexander, Alexander going to the ankle lock.

19:20Ankle lock on Young.

19:22That's tight enough.

19:23The second major submission locked in and look.

19:27Young able to turn it around.

19:30Going for the Youngblood Neckbreaker and he got it.

19:34But Alexander was getting back up to his feet,

19:36trying to follow up with a pile driver by Young.

19:39Is that it?

19:40Is ZY going to slam aversary?

19:43Oh, and Alexander gets his foot on the bottom rope.

19:46The match continues.

19:52Take a look back here at the Youngblood Neckbreaker,

19:56deep into the bag of tricks there for Young

19:58and then the pile driver,

20:00which few men have ever kicked out of against Eric Young.

20:04Josh Alexander.

20:05Great ring awareness.

20:06Getting his foot on the bottom rope and the match continues.

20:12You talk about people.

20:14We tied the way Josh Alexander didn't kick out of it there.

20:17I mean, using whatever energy he had left to get his foot there.

20:21But that shows you also the amount of punishment

20:24the walking weapon has taken.

20:26Are you kidding me?

20:27Going all the way to the top.

20:28What the hell?

20:29He's singing about a pile driver from off the top turnbuckle.

20:33Now Alexander ripping Young down to the canvas in the ankle lock.

20:38Beautiful counter there by Josh Alexander.

20:42The awareness to turn on a dime and grasp the ankle again.

20:46Oh, Young trying to catch Alexander, shoulders down.

20:49Oh, and a kick out by the walking weapon.

20:51It's both these guys trying to catch each other off guard.

20:55Huge discus clothesline by Young.

20:59Alexander nearly going inside out there.

21:01Here we go again.

21:02Think about another pile driver on that twice surgically repaired

21:05neck of Josh Alexander's.

21:09Oh, it's caught.

21:10Caught by Alexander in a forearm shiver.

21:13Once again.

21:15Snaps off a German suplex, and the walking weapon is fired up.

21:20How Alexander trying to end this thing.

21:24Going for the C4 spike.

21:27Cover.

21:29Alexander is going to Slammiversary.

21:34Here is your winner, Josh Alexander.

21:39The walking weapon finds himself one step closer

21:44to reclaiming the title that has meant everything to him.

21:50Let's take a look back at the conclusion of this matchup.

21:52Eric Young fired off some big time shots in this,

21:56but it was the C4 spike by Alexander that sealed the deal.

22:01Josh Alexander joins the field for the six-way elimination

22:07match for the TNA World Championship

22:10live on July 20th in Montreal at Slammiversary.

22:15Two of the best to come out of Canada.

22:22Two of the best to ever represent the letters TNA.

22:27It is my destiny.

22:30It is the truth I sing.

22:32In this world I'll find a way to cross the line.

22:36Everybody's coming with me.
