1. Rhino and Senshi vs. LAXI thought this was a good way to start off the ppv. I really liked both teams as I liked the power game by LAX and the speed by Senshi really worked well in this match. The one thing that I wish would have happened is I wish they would have gave it more time but it was a solid tag match with some near falls which made it entertaining. Winners Rhino and Senshi. Match Rating 7.5/10.
2. Chris Sabin vs. Black Machismo Jay Lethal for the X-Division TitleI really enjoyed this X-Division match. Sabin has had a long reign with that title so it added to the hype of this match. Not everyone really liked the new character of Lethal but I thought it was pretty cool. These two really worked well together as there was even a suplex on the outside of the ring. Lots of near falls lead to a great title match. Winner and new X-Division Champ Black Machismo Jay Lethal. Match Rating 8/10.
3. Frank Wycheck and Jerry Lynn vs. James Storm and Ron the Truth KillingsNow going into this match there was a lot of question of if this was going to be a bad match cause a football player was in it and not a wrestler well let me say I thought Wycheck did a great job for his first time. Jerry Lynn was the perfect partner as he worked really weel as storm match up with Wycheck's strength and killings matched up with lynn's speed. Pretty good match with back and forth action. Winner Frank Wycheck and Jerry Lynn. Match Rating 7/10.
4. Mr. Backlund vs. Alex ShellyThis to me was a awful match. I was not expecting a lot going into this match and that was not because of shelly that was because of backlund as I did not know why a almost 60 year old was in the ring. This was a 3 minute match at best and a total blow off. Winner Alex Shelly. Match Rating 2/10.
5. The Voodoo Kin Mafia vs. Basham and Damaja with Christy HemmeThis was yet another match that could have been kept off the card as it was another awful match and the crowd did not care about this match. This was kept short which was a good thing. Not much to say. Winners The Voodoo Kin Mafia. Match Rating 3/10.
6. Erie Young vs. Robert Roode with Mrs. Brooks in a Freedom MatchThis was accualty a pretty good match even though these two have had a feud going on forever. I really liked the way Eric Young looked in this match as he had some high flying moves including a cross body off the top rope to the outside,. There were some funny parts in the match to including Eric pantsing Mrs. Brooks. The match restarted after Roode hit young with the chair and got the pin. Winner Eric Young. Match Rating 7.5/10.
7. Sting vs. Christopher DanielsThis was set up very well with a very good storyline and I was really excited for this match as they had a good feud going into it. The problem here is this match only got 7 minutes at best that is because they had the crap like VKM and Backlund on the card. Thes two did the best they could with there time and put on a solid match. Winner Sting. Match Rating 6.5/10.
8. Team 3D vs. Rick Stiner and Animal for the TNA Tag Team ChampionshipsThis was supposed to be stiner's vs. 3D but Scott got hurt and could not wrestle. These two teams really tried here but I think that age played a big part in the match as these two teams looked slow. An okay match but its to bad Scott got hurt. Winners and still TNA Tag Team Champs Team 3D. Match Rating 5/10.
9. Abyss vs. Tomko in a No DQ MatchHere is the surprise on the card. This match was not even booked for the ppv except a couple days before and it turned out to be the second best match on the show. This was a brutal match and it fit both men's style which is hardcore. There were so many sweet parts in the match including a blackhole slam into the glass and even a powerbomb type move into the tumbtacks. A great match put on by both men. Winner Abyss. Match Rating 9/10.
10. Christian Cage vs. Kurt Angle vs. A.J. Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Chris Harris in a King Of The Mountain Match for the TNA World Heavywieght TitleWow was this a great way to close the show. The crowd had been hot alnight but this is the hottest that they had ever been. This was set up a lot better than last years. The match was non stop action all the way thorugh. The best part of the match to me was Joe and Styles were on the tope of the cage and joe through him off the cage through a table below. There was also a sick spear by Chris Harris taking Christian off the ladder. Very good main event. Winner and new TNA World Heavywieght Champ Kurt Angle. Match Rating 10/10.
Well that raps up another. I would give TNA Slammiversary 2007 a grade of 65.5/100 which is a 66% which means this is a good ppv. It just makes that grade by a percent and this could have been a lot better of a ppv if they had left a couple matches off the card. Still a solid event and I think that you should pick it up. IF you can tell me if my review was helpful or not I would appreciate that. Thanks for your time.

TNA Wrestling Slammiversary June 17, 2007This is TNA Wrestling's fifth anniversary show, and it takes place in Nashville, Tennessee it is the 3rd TNA pay per view to take place outside of the impact zone at universal studios in Orlando, Florida.
"The War Machine" Rhino & Senshi Vs. The Latin American Xchange
This match was a great way to start off a pay per view, I pick homicide as the stand out wrestler in this match but all the wrestlers worked well together. They told a good story and Hector Guerrero provided a good balance to the match. Rating 4/5
Chris Sabin (C) Vs. "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal X Division Championship
This was a good match but it was too short for me i think they deserved at least 5 to 10 more minutes. Lethal was the standout performer for this match and he was way over with the crowd this guy is gonna be a big star in the future. Rating 4/5
James Storm & Ron Killings Vs. Frank Wycheck & Jerry Lynn
This was an average match not really a good "wrestling" match but it was entertaining at moments. It served it's purpose to get the Tennessee Titans involved in their home city. Rating 3/5
Mr. Backlund Vs. Alex Shelley
This match was way too short for me with unnecessary interference, I am disappointed because I believe Shelley is way better than this and at a big stage like slammiversary they should showcase his talent. Plus after the match it was like a big circus with everybody and their mother coming out and getting involved. Rating 2/5
VKM Vs. Basham & Damaja w/ Christy Hemme
This match was way too short for a pay per view, this type of stuff should be on impact leading up to the big pay per view. I am again very disappointed with this one. Rating 2/5
"E.Y." Eric Young Vs. Robert Roode W/ Ms. Brooks
Eric Young made this match, he is a very entertaining person. This match was a breath of fresh air after the 2 previous disappointing matches. A great plus is when you get to see Ms. Brooks bare now that's what I call in demand. Rating 3.5/5
Team 3D Vs. Rick Steiner & Animal TNA Tag Team Championship
It was good to see Animal back in the ring but this was way too short for any kind of a title match on a Pay Per View, again this is stuff that should've been on impact instead. Rating 2/5
"The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels Vs. "The Icon" Sting
I am a huge fan of both of these wrestlers, so this match was a huge disappointment to me as it was way too short. Again this is stuff that should've been on impact not on pay per view. Rating 2/5
Abyss Vs. Tomko No Disqualification Match
This was a pretty good match, Tomko took an amazing fall and a blackhole slam on some shattered glass. Tomko was also hitting Abyss with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire. These guys put on a good show. Rating 3.5/5
King Of The Mountain Match For The TNA World Championship
Christian Cage Vs. Kurt Angle Vs. AJ Styles Vs. Samoa Joe Vs. Chris Harris
This was an awesome match it totally saved the pay per view. It was without a shadow of a doubt the best match of the night. This one is full of excitement and will keep you entertained until the very end. The dvd is worth buying for this match alone. Rating 5/5
This was a good show but there were way too many matches on the card which caused most of the matches to be way too short and alot of these matches were TV quality stuff and should not have been on pay per view. It is worth buying for the main event alone TNA collectors should buy it but if you are new to TNA I would buy Bound For Glory Or Genesis from 2007.

I just wanted to know if anyone else notice the horrible edit during the Abyss/Tomko match where after Tomko got thrown off the top of the stage it then cuts to him walking away and the announcers talking about Abyss diving onto him? I think that is just horrible why edit your own product like that? Other than that, the event was alright with the KOTM match being the best.Honest reviews on TNA Wrestling: Slammiversary 2007 (2007)
The LAX(Homicide & Hernandez)-Rhino/Senshi tag team match was a great opener. The Chris Sabin-Jay Lethal-X Division title match was also great. The James Storm/Ron Killings-Frank Wycheck/Jerry Lynn tag team match was surprisingly good. The Alex Shelly-Bob Backlund match was short but not that bad. The Vooddo Kin Mafia(BG James & Kip James)-Basham/Damaja tag team match was short but not sweet. The Robert Roode-Eric Young-Free or Fired match was not great but pretty good. The Team 3D(Brother Ray & Brother Devon)-Rick Steiner/Road Warrior Animal-Tag Team title match was watchable at best. The Christopher Daniels-Sting match while not a bad match,it was too rushed for it's own good. The No DQ match between Tomko & Abyss was smash-mouth,hardcore,extreme brawl. The King of the Mountain match to crown the first ever TNA champion(Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe vs Christian Cage vs AJ Styles vs Chris Harris) was a hard-hitting,smash-mouth,awesome brawl. I give this PPV a 7 out of 10.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for TNA Wrestling: Slammiversary 2007 (2007)
I like the cover art on this DVD. It's a take off on the Johnny Cash "Walk The Line" poster. Instead of Johnny Cash we've got Jeff Jarrett on the poster now. Jeff didn't actually wrestle at Slammiversary however.I was at this event in Nashville, TN. It was a good pro wrestling pay-per-view.
I got a kick out of watching the DVD extra that showed the fans at the T.N.A. Fanfest standing in line and then later meeting the wrestlers. I met Kevin Nash and Kurt Angle there. WWE should do the same thing before every PPV.
Hard to believe that this PPV marked the five-year anniversary of TNA. I loved it when they ran a PPV every Wednesday night at the Nashville Fairgrounds.
