TNA Slammiversary 2011 Predictions

Hello friends! Tomorrow night TNA or should I say Impact Wrestling will be celebrating their 9th anniversary with the PPV I honestly consider their real WrestleMania in Slammiversary! 8 matches are on the card so let's get down to business shall we?

Scott Steiner vs. Matt Morgan

When this angle first started I thought that these 2 were going to battle it out for the #1 contender ship to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. But since Jeff Jarrett and Kurt Angle are fighting for that position that makes this match a throwaway Impact Wrestling match at best and with that I will pick the Blueprint to win this fight but expect the feud to continue into next month's Destination X PPV.

Winner: Matt Morgan

Samoa Joe vs. Crimson

At this event 5 years ago Samoa Joe had been unbeaten for 18 months going into his match against Scott Steiner a match that Joe went on to win. 5 years later Crimson is being billed as an unbeaten wrestler even though he's only been around for like 5 or 6 months. None the less I think they are building Crimson to be the next major breakout star in TNA and because of that I am going to go with Crimson to win this match in what I think could be a sleeper fight of the night candidate!

Winner: Crimson

TNA Women's Knockout Championship Match: Mickie James vs. Angelina Love

Over the last several weeks we have seen Winter completely control Angelina into basically doing her bidding and taking out Velvet Sky and Miss Tessmacher among other things. To be honest I am a little iffy about this whole thing because there's 1 part of me that thinks this angle is starting to get tired and played out while another part of me is really enjoying it! But I have a feeling that Mickie is going to retain here and then from there I see Mickie vs. Winter for the belt at Destination X next month. Should be a good match as these are 2 of the better Women's wrestlers in the world today.

Winner: Mickie James

3-Way Match for the TNA X-Division Championship: Abyss vs. Kazarian vs. Brian Kendrick

Well I guess the X-Division truly is no limits if you're going to have a 6"8 350 pound monster holding the strap. Anyways this is another iffy angle for me because I am not a fan of Brian Kendrick's gimmick as I think he is coming off as Eric Young 2.0 while I love Kazarian not just because he's part of my favorite stable Fortune but also because he is so fun to watch in the ring week in and week out. So who wins? Well I got this feeling that Abyss will probably win this fight which will lead into that Ultimate X match that I heard was going to go down at Destination X next month.

Winner: Abyss

TNA World Tag Team Championship Match: James Storm and Alex Shelley vs. The British Invasion

For those of you who haven't been watching Impact Wrestling over the last several weeks you will know that Robert Roode was injured at the hands of Ric Flair and Immortal which is why Alex Shelley is taking Roode's place in this match. So because of that I am going to take a chance here and say that the Brits steal the belts here after another miscommunication between Shelley and Storm that will cost them the belts and what happens after that is anybody's guess.

Winners: The British Invasion

Last Man Standing Match: AJ Styles vs. Bully Ray

When it comes to Last Man Standing Matches WWE is eleventy billion percent better than TNA is. Anyways this angle has been 1 of the few bright spots on Impact Wrestling as both men have been great on the mic and TNA has done a very good job in building this angle! Now since Tommy Dreamer went over AJ last month at Sacrifice I am going to go with AJ to win this 1 in what I think will be the 3rd best fight of the night!

Winner: AJ Styles

#1 Contender Match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle

After 6 long months this is where it all ends right here. If Jarrett wins he gets Kurt's Olympic gold medal! Last month these 2 were involved in what I consider the worst fight of Sacrifice along with Karen Jarrett and Chyna. This time Karen and Chyna are long gone and this fight has fight of the night written all over it because we all know what these 2 are capable of! With Jeff Jarrett constantly going over Kurt Angle in each PPV match this has to be the fight where Kurt finally goes over because when it comes to blowoff fights 9 times out of 10 the babyface usually goes over and that's why I am going with Kurt Angle to win this fight and then from there goes on to Destination X to battle the TNA World Heavyweight Champion!

Winner: Kurt Angle

TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match: Sting vs. Mr. Anderson

To be quite honest this main event has potential to be 1 of the best main events we have seen in a while because with the exception of Lethal Lockdown 2 months ago the last few TNA PPV main events have been really bad especially the Victory Road main event fiasco. Over the last few weeks on Impact Wrestling we saw Anderson dress up as the old school Sting which I thought was kinda cool but corny at the same time you know? Anyways Sting has been champion for 3 months now while it's fairly obvious that TNA is grooming Anderson for another World title run. So because of that fact I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Anderson wins the belt and then goes on to Destination X for another epic battle with Kurt Angle!

Winner: Mr. Anderson

Overall this PPV has potential to be better than last month's Sacrifice event which was a complete throwaway let's not kid ourselves! The 3 main events as always will steal the show while the undercard will probably be all bad Impact Wrestling matches at best however I think this undercard has potential to be actually good for a change but we shall see!
