PPV Matches Of The Year: (8) King Of The Mountain (Slammiversary)

[dazeordavid]

Slammiversary is not the same without this match type plus this PPV did die since Hogan came aboard..this use to be a PPV I loved especially with it being on the road...TNA messed up badly!

[knockonwood2]

How can this be considered one of the matches of the year? Nobody knew what was going on with Jarrett and Foley.

[MeesterWolf99]

Always stupid when something that controversial happens at the end, did they not learn from WCW when it came to "dropping the belt" to someone else?

[jeffhardyfan1019]

i miss this match

[Swazi4]

@SlipknotRocksSIC Considering all those things aren't true, and my life still rocks, I don't need help from the G-man. However, you should take a look in the mirror, since most that stuff you mentioned is probably describing yourself. It's been fun fucking around with you Mr. Virgin Atheist.

[Swazi4]

@SlipknotRocksSIC Myl ife is pretty awesome, but whatever. You're the bitter old tart that can't let go of the fact that TNA and Slipknot both suck, so whatever.

[Swazi4]

@SlipknotRocksSIC There you go still making personal attacks. Hilarious. Saying a wrestling promotion and a band suck is bigotry? That's a bit over the top. Then again, what would I expect from some thirteen year old?

[Swazi4]

@SlipknotRocksSIC See, if I was a troll, I would've won right there. With you raging all over the place and making personal attacks, that's what trolls want. However, I am not a troll. Just telling shit like it is.  And TNA and Slipknot, are both god awful shit. Deal with it and find a real band and get an eye for talent in general.

[Swazi4]

@SlipknotRocksSIC Eh, why would I even attempt to talk to you about original gimmicks, being a fan of that shitty band Slipknot. Can we say "Mushroomhead ripoff"? And no, the Joker gimmick from the clips I have seen is not "fucking awesome", more on the pathetic side. So, since when is reinventing yourself just ripping off other characters? You need to go away little boy.

[Swazi4]

@SlipknotRocksSIC Ahahaha it's funny you automatically call me a "fanboy". I haven't watched wrestling in years! And Anderson was held back BECAUSE HE ISN'T THAT GOOD. And Sting hasn't worked a good match since probably WCW, but you go ahead and support some guy whose last original gimmick came when he had blonde spiked hair. I don't think Sting would still work if he had a permanently damaged shoulder either, unlike the Undertaker. Bottom line is, WWE sucks. TNA just sucks way more.

[Swazi4]

@SlipknotRocksSIC When TNA takes WWE/WCW storylines constantly, and tries to put them over as "shocking". This reeks of finger poke of doom, and all the Russo face/heel turns with Steiner, Nash, Goldberg, etc. And right now, WWE is better than TNA. Still another WWE reject on top of TNA? Or is it "Should have retired years ago" Sting still?

[MrLelo221]

What a match O_o The reeferee are very crazy lol

[MrLelo221]

What a match O_o

[Swazi4]

Gee, a "shocking" turn of events. Yawn. Same trash as usual, but what is there to expect from TNA.

[MrGameplayer14]

was foley a face or a heel at this time

[garyowenrocks]

what a bullshit he just gave him the title on a silver platter tna r.i.p long live the good old days 2004-2007 now tna sucks thumbs up if you agree

[funnylad9912]

tna was well betta before hogan came

[hpgobblet]

tna world heavyweight championship; king of the mountain match ean [c] vs ed vs edd vs tails vs sonic vs manic vs eddy

[TGLXXL]

this match is so fucking boring, wwe sucks now but is still much better than this trashed company which onlyubrings old legends into the ring called TNA ( TOTAL NOT AWESOME WRESTLING)

[TLrko316]

@TGLXXL You = (W.eirdo W.hy E.nforce yourself to watcch it?)

[THEFRESHISHERE]

@TGLXXL wwe sucks ass fool tna is better

[TGLXXL]

@TGLXXL i don't know nothing about wresltling? ok, just compare the crowds!

[HipnosisV1Games]

@SlipknotRocksSIC I think it was a good idea. Mick Foley at the time was really popular coming from WWE and TNA actually got a lot of fans watching iMPACT!

[HipnosisV1Games]

good times....we gotta get back 6 sides AND king of the mountain

[strang14]

Sad thing is... Pittsburgh won >.< I hate the lame aftermath sport team brawls with jerseys. Kinda pointless.

[kimng2]

Kurt Angle sucks.

[23cornchip]

they need the six-sided ring again...

[frankgopie]

they switched back to 4 sides

[Trademark629]

x division KOTM was better

[ZarroyBulleT]

I Was Die Hard Of WWF and WWE since All The Legend become lesser in WWE its kinda bored in WWE and the storyline go out of place . TNA Rocks Now !

[ronniedude1]

04:46 Jeff Jarrett does a fake punch to kurt angle like actually misses him

[RoRollCkn]

[SDdaBeatMaker]

[Morrbyd]

i'd just like to go on record to say:

"I LOATHE THESE GOODAMN ADVERTISMENTS BEFORE EVERY VIDEO!

[stingernick]

As a fellow balding guy going shaved head, keep that head shaved Kurt. You're looking bald.

[Danthemaker]

[mrfridaynight330]

@Danthemaker no it started in october 2008

[keidfe]

0:44 FUNNY REFEREE!!!

[MandibleClaw14]

Amazing match-up!

I just love this match. Especially Foley's elbow off the top of the cage, Have A Nice Day!

[666rocko]

[keidfe]

10:07 SWANTOMB BOMB BY AJ STYLES ????

[swiftedgebg]

This is fucking awesome. o_o

[saynotodrug999]

I feel as though AJ is always in real pain when he wrestles like the world championship match against Christopher Daniels

[pafcden]

8:57 mick foley rescata a su rival para que no caiga desde la altura.

da para pensar...

[mattytheking001]

haha tenay '' shut up and listian ''

[lupoistheman1]

That's why he's one of the bests.

[MrBombastic7]

WTF Samoa Joe did what!!!?

[Wrestler6199]

screwjob at end

[cowtowngrl]

lol its only been one week of ric flair heel aj n i just really hate it. i actually really miss the aj wheres hes not so bright n loud/obnoxious

[saynotodrug999]

@cowtowngrl and like the match with AJ against Christopher Daniels in a 30 minute iron man

[TishaLane306]

huhugerade ziemlich kuschelbedürftig wer möchte mit mir chilln hab auch ne web cam

[HEMIpoweredherochao]

TNA originally started with a 4 sided ring.

[HorseChoker00]

i think u mean wwe >.>

lol been stop watching wwe

[NoNamer118]

dammit joe why wood he let angle win. i was hoping aj wood throw foley off the cage onto the table :p

[MrTrippy2k8]

WTF is the bald ref doing LMAO "oooh oooh ahhh!"

[34hassan]

man all tna needs now is al snow and jericho and wwe is got something on its hands...

[dreammatch2000]

King Of The Mountain matches never fail to disappoint. You have 5 of the best wrestlers TNA has to offer. Plus with different techniques. Combined with high flying, technical, hardcore and basic wreslting skills is the ultimate calibur for a great show.

My take on the match 9.5/10. Exciting from A to Z. The crowd was hot and so was the match.

TNA: Cross The Line.

[Roewking93]

@dreammatch2000 thanks i was in that crowd

[InsanityRide]

They better not switch to a 4 sided ring. The 6 sided ring looks cooler and is different. I never really cared for the 4 sided ring when TNA originally used it.

[skullfan567]

@InsanityRide too late

[DXFAN504]

@InsanityRide they did

[ollieMONSTER1]

@InsanityRide they did

[joeaszt]

@InsanityRide too late, they already switched

[intro06]

@InsanityRide too late....

[Avertyoureyes91]

This was a great crowd, a pretty fluid match, and great energy.

Seeing it live was incredible.

[lupoistheman1]

The TNA crowd are awesome! Always loud, energetic and wesome.

[MrKillerrellik2008]

@lupoistheman1 exactly. now all you hear from the wwe crowd is cena cena

[lilthj]

LIES

[mrfridaynight330]

@lupoistheman1 no it started in 2008 in october

[mrfridaynight330]

@lupoistheman1 i know right

[Dencyftw]

its matches that end like this that screw WWE

[PhilipEbanks]

Joe's heel turn was awesome and a refreshing surprise. Glad to see him and the Fallen Angel finally gunning after A.J.'s title.

[SereneAndTranquil]

Great things about this match:

-the guitar shot

-elbow drop from the penalty box

What would've been great:

-AJ throwing Mick into the commentators table from on top of the penalty box.

[17dioneforyou]

hate to rain on your parade but four sides is returning on the 4th with a bigger entrance tron.trying to compete with wwe..it going to work

[17dioneforyou]

im for one am glad they are getting rid of the six sides ring and making the impact zone much bigger. if you havent seen what tna impact zone looks like now your in for a treat it looks mad sick.they will unveil it next week. and of course wwe is going to beat tna in rating even jarret and dixie have admitted that. ill be flipping back and forth. i mean i love tna and the new direction its going in and how there getting the new addions but..its bret hart man cant pass that moment up.tough call

[BruiserDrop]

They wont change the iMPACT Zone when it comes to how many people are in there. They have already reached the max amount of people allowed by the fire code. They already turn lots of people away. This is why they set up monitors outside the building. If they want bigger crowds like they have at house shows & PPVs, they would need to hold iMPACT someplace else. I like the iMPACT! Zone though and I dont mind that they are not allowed to allow more people in. They are also keeping the 6 sided ring.

[17dioneforyou]

they are changing the six sided ring back to four sides and adding a bigger tron.hulk hogan said it himself.

[BruiserDrop]

lol Hogan wasn't telling the truth. He does that on purpose. Him and Jericho are the masters of that and have done it since the late 90's.

[17dioneforyou]

dixie said it to.there are pics of it all over the internet of the new set and the four sided ring

[17dioneforyou]

oh ho ho ho ho did i not tell you they were changing back to four sided ring and a new impact zone...i told you!!!!lol yeah you your face!!!! lol

[BruiserDrop]

@17dioneforyou You also said that they would be changing back to the 4 sided ring on January 4th for the live iMPACT!

Do you get joy from reading dirt sheets and then getting online and spoiling things for people? If so why do you get joy from it. People like me who watch the events and don't want spoilers...don't want spoilers. To spoil things for yourself is fine but to spoil it for others is not cool at all.

[17dioneforyou]

didnt read dirt sheets actually watched it on ppv...soo there and yes i do love to ruin the joy..fyi main event angle vs styles..shocking ending

[BruiserDrop]

@17dioneforyou Yeah i watched the PPV as well. When I talk about you dirt sheeting I meant you telling everyone that TNA would change the ring back to 4 sides after Hogan got there. And yeah AJ & Kurt did have a shocking ending.

[17dioneforyou]

didnt see it coming..if this is the the start of a new era in tna..im all for it

[alden6644]

I know you're not talking to me but i also bought it. i liked it

[Wrestler6199]

they were changing to a four sided ring? how long? please i m me

[ideagirlconsulting]

jarretts pretty cute

[LosMagosDeWaverlyPla]

love video

[bradfordfm56]

foley wanted to hang da belt but he werent eligable until he pinned angle

[tna4me]

ok give the belt to angle but turning joe heal was retarded . Jarret should have won since he was the most over

[1kurti]

at 3:32 joe ask Aj :"are you okay?"

[werewolfsteak24]

lol at 3:30 you can hear JOE ask aj "are u okay man"

[razor2910]

I'm wondering why didn't TNA put that Alex Shelley vs Chris Sabin match from Genesis on that list.

[ciaranod]

I know. What a fail on TNA's part

[bbgambini420]

TNAs PAY-PER-VIEWS never ever FAIL TO DISAPPOINT!!!

TNA is awsome!

[pr0jectR]

10:04 GET READY TO FLYYY!!!!! OMGG that was Amazing!!! AJ Styles should of won that match but regardless it was Classic Match!!!

[skinwalkerxxx]

Best swerves of the last 5 years. I could just hear the dirt sheets crying to their mothers when that happened.

[yenkii50]

ta bn 5mentarios

[cenaboy1018]

von 0:36 to 0:39 the refs were synchron xD

[ace200599]

AJ was hella over at this point.

I know he won the belt eventually, but he should have won here.

[ItsBenRichey]

I was there live. Everyone went nuts when Angle walked out in the jersey.

[AVO1993]

@ItsBenRichey haha, yeah, i was there too, someone threw something, it was great. We were all stunned when joe handed Angle the belt. That was good times.

[mikels72396]

wtf

[0998769]

AJ Styles should have won that

[whatadamsever]

ref's are sometime hitting the mat 3rd time because they are hitting it by accident, when someone get his shoulder up in last second, they sometimes can't stop their hand in air, i've seen it at least a few times...

btw about TNA vs WWE - just like Jeff Jarret said in last interview - WWE is just sports entertainment, TNA is professional wrestling :)

[22CaliberHitters]

Haha haven't watched wrestling since WCW was sold ! Now I'm looking forward to watching this on a constant basis!

[masta2k4]

@22CaliberHitters

Awesome! Welcome to the TNA family.....

[younghiphopsoul]

@22CaliberHitters

yeah i miss wcw too. tna is the best! wwe sucks!

[bestever23]

this is like when kevin nash laid down for hogan, good job killing joes persona TNA

[WrestlingGoesHip]

@bestever23 Not really, they continued to make Joe look like a dominant force after this, on the next iMPACT they explained why Joe had helped Angle, because MEM paid Joe. The only thing they did kill was a bit of prestige from the TNA World Heavyweight championship. Angle and the rest of MEM actually admitted that they couldn't beat Joe, making him look dominant and he got put over by MEM, which is always a good thing considering it had Nash, Steiner and Booker T. Samoa Joe is still dominant.

[mrlooney234]

on that first pin the ref hits the mat 3 times!!! (listen carefully)

[DXforeverbrother]

@mrlooney234 Kurt had his shoulder up BEFORE the 3rd count.

[TheDx639harry3]

i hate this why at last and fat ugly guy give kurt angle the belt

[Playaboy123451]

TNA is so much better than WWE. The wrestlersa are just so much better. WWE is the same old stuff, i can watch a WWE match and guess what will happen, move for move.

[pr0jectR]

GET READY TO FLYY!!! AJ Styles was CRAZY in this match and should of won!! Very shocking way to end the match..Classic King Of The Mountain Match!!! TNA!!! TNA!!! TNA!!! TNA!!!!

[TeamExtremeMember8]

You can tell by that arena alone TNA has come along way in such a short time.Beautiful.This is why I like when TNA goes outside the iMPACT! Zone.

[sakonhagakure]

and to think the day before this I met Rhino at Legends sports and games in the Lansing Mall.

[unleashthestars]

What I dud finish? didnt make a single ounce sense but hey thats tna

[ipdddd]

how does KING OF THE MOUNTAIN WORK?

[BruiserDrop]

To become eligible(to win) you have to pin an opponent of make them tap. Falls count anywhere. If you lose a fall, you go into the box for 2 minutes. Once you are eligible you can attempt to win the match by climbing the ladder and hanging the belt on the hook. First wrestler to hang the belt on the hook is the winner.

[FreeFloatingDropouts]

@ipdddd

First, you must pin or submit any other wrestler. That wrestler (the one that is pinned or taps out) goes into a penalty box for a length of time (2 minutes I think) and the one who scored the pinfall is eligible to hang the belt. In essence, it's like a "reverse" ladder match. First one to hang the belt wins.

[UmutBrasco]

Alex Shelley vs Chris Sabbin at Genesis was a epic !! That Match must be in that top 10 List !!

[BruiserDrop]

Yeah it was and like Foley requested it did live up to the caliber of the Kazmier & Oz bout lol

[unleashthestars]

@UmutBrasco Those guys are always neglected why have they still not won the titles? even at bfg in detroit the had the most tshirt sales and where not even on the main card lol

[HTUK2007]

This is a good match, deserves to be in the Top 10, unlike No.9 and 10.

[mksshow1]

That was a dam good match

[Breadinator10000]

@mksshow1 2nd on that.

[mksshow1]

@Breadinator10000

I say 6

[OrangeLightning86]

At least TNA is not PG rated unlike WWE now.

[renzoborg]

Was Mick Foley a Heel during that time or a Tweener ?..cause he wasn't a face for sure

[BETAonYTube]

@renzoborg Tweener i reckon.

[assassinkid97]

now i hate joe

aj shoulda won

[TimOXC]

@assassinkid97 Joe did what he needed to do which for him was become part of the MEM in a way to defend himself from the MEM... AJ should of had it but tbh now he does anyway...

[17dioneforyou]

dont be a bandwagoner

[chewitt61]

wats the penital box for why do they have to go in that cage thing

[piscataway53]

If you get pinned or submitted, you have to go in the box for 2 minutes or so. It pretty much lessens your chance of winning the match because your in the box.

[GamingPalooza]

this is the direction that TNA needs to go in... nice descent size venue... good lively crowd... TNA needs to step up and make a transition, make iMPACT! in these type of venues... so that their PPV can be even bigger and better.

[1989re]

Problem is apart from the big 3 ppv's (BFG, Slammiversary and Lockdown) TNA struggles to draw the crowds in.

[BruiserDrop]

Thats not true. TNA had a year where they did half the PPVs on the road and they managed to draw crowds this size for the non Slammiversary,Lockdown and BFG PPVS. They just dont want to do more PPVs on the road. They have already proven to themselves that they can if they want to. It's just more work to do so lol

[GamingPalooza]

eh, i dont agree with that cause i went to a TNA house show that had like 4000 people here in Connecticut... they draw big in house shows... if they got out of orlando, they will draw a lot more.. they can't stay there forever... they need to get out and move on up

[17dioneforyou]

there nervous if they leave where they are hot now theyll end up like the early nwa.they main goal is to never be sold to wwe

[cenaboy1018]

xD look at the ref at 0:40 to 0:45

hes crazy

[PlagueRiddenGoat]

Jeff Jarrett as a babyface is just horrible. They need to stop it with this angle.

[rackmors]

I remember marking out when the belt fell around AJ's neck he was destined to win this match

[PrinceAJStyles]

Actually Joe already

belonged to the MEM

before the match.

His hate towards Angle

was just fake to decoy AJ

Styles.

A great storyline by Vince

Russo when you ask me.

[tottenham116]

man this should have been number one

[Trademark629]

Give me some good reasons why....

-Mick Foley was world champion

-Mick Foley was in this match

-Jeff Jarrett was in this match

-Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle had hockey jerseys on

[Corvus887]

Foley is champ because it was the only thing that would make Foley jump to TNA. lol

Foley, while he isn't in his prime anymore, can still go for a short amount of time, and It's not like he did much anyway. He didnt hurt the match too much.

IDK why everyone's down on Jarrett, I like him.

And the jerseys were for cheap cheers and heat. Thats really it. lol

[SFitzy93]

@Corvus887 Lol yeah another reason Foley was champ is probably to bring in some more viewers,say if old wrestling fans are channel surfing and they come across iMPACT!,and they see Mick Foley with the belt they might stay watching,it didnt really work but then again it didnt do any harm tbh.

[surenopimp]

Umm liar. Foley would jump to TNA for the right amount of money i highley doubt the championship had any effect on his decision i really don't think he cared if he won it or not

[Trademark629]

I understand that the jerseys were for cheap heat but this should not be necessary in the main event. For example if there were an X Division match on a PPV in New York and someone wears a Yankees jersey and the heel wears a Red Sox jersey that is fine because it's a midcard match and naturally can benefit from the cheap heat. Kurt Angle did not need a stupid hockey jersey to get heat.

[FailatLifeProduction]

Who cares? The crowd fucking blew up when Joe was kicking his ass anyway. Do you people have anything better to do other than nitpick every little wrong thing that TNA does?

[Puroslave]

they did it for The Swerve

[Corvus887]

Yeah, if KURT F'N ANGLE can't get legit heat NO ONE can. He can make ANYONE hate him.

[PixelBishop]

@Trademark629 Mick Foley were in the match because he was the champ obviously?

[1989re]

Jarrett can still work pretty well, and the jerseys as previously said were for cheap heat.

I agree about foley though.

[BruiserDrop]

The jerseys were not for cheap heat. The jerseys were to make some of the fans think that. But the jerseys werwe actually a plan from MEM to swerve the other people in the match and mostly AJ Styles. Joe & Kurt knew what they were doing :)

[bluethunder25]

Hey, I invented the term, "cheap heat."

[thenextajstyles]

i agree about jeff jarett's ability to work fairly well but i think you'll agree when will tna realise that half of the washed up wwe wrestlers apart from one or two exceptions will not make main eventers try pushing younger talent for a change

I hope TNA will bring back the 4 sided ring for the January 4th
