Tremendous Tirades Throwbacks: TNA’s Slammiversary 2005

Jeremy Borash and “The Franchise” Shane Douglas welcome us to Slammiversary! Franchise says the people are here to celebrate the biggest PPV in TNA history. They run down the card and say the X Division 6-way will open up the PPV as well as Samoa Joe’s debut!

The Hardy party is there all painted up, freaks.

They run a video package of events that led to tonight’s matches, basically a recap to catch people up. Zbyzko took those Raven DDT’s right on his head, so props to Larry Z!

Tenay and West now welcome us to Slammiversary. Here comes Larry Z! He is in the ring and has an important announcement. He says there is no secret that TNA has had some internal turmoil. He says Dusty couldn’t keep control, “Dusty Sucks Chant!” He says that Dusty crumbled under the pressure of being DOA and the Championship Committee has decided that Dusty has no future in TNA! He says Dusty didn’t resign, but he was fired first. He asks for a moment of silent laughter in Dusty’s honor.

JJ is out now! He tears up some fan’s sign, that wasn’t polite. JJ says Larry needs to tell the truth. He says Dusty is just like Nash, Hall, Hardy, Sting, Hogan and more. He ran them all off. He says he built TNA from the ground up and tonight is the 3rd year anniversary and he will walk that isle and regain HIS title in HIS match! He says last month it took two men to beat him. He says he will beat 4 men tonight, and take back his King of the Mountain name. This is his world.

Here comes raven through the crowd! It’s ECW STYLE RAVEN BITCHES! He is astounded by their incompetence! How can they have the match with Waltman instead of him! He beat him last month! What about me, what about RAVEN? He thinks that they don’t want him in the match because Larry in cahoots with JJ. Raven says JJ held him down in the USWA, and now it happens here! JJ is a master politician! He knows Larry is behind it all. The crowd wants him in the match! JJ calls him “Scott,” that’s a shoot brother! JJ says Raven is all talk, while he does what he says. JJ says Raven doesn’t deserve to be in the match. JJ makes fun of Raven and his ECW past. JJ says hardcore was a big group of idiots and JJ thinks hardcore is all a bunch of crap. He slaps Raven! They brawl and security tries to separate them. Some Hardy Party dude keeps pushing JJ and he pulls him over the railing and bates his ass! Don Harris and Terry Taylor are out to stop JJ and here is Jerry Jarrett to yell at Jeff as Don Harris drags him out of the arena.

Borash puts over TNA as he and Douglas are shocked and are making it look real.

Simon Diamond is back! “Orlando…SIMON HAS A PROBLEM! He says he was made to sit at home and he recruited someone to make sure no one forces him out again…TRYTAN!”
