Uh, guys. I have a bit of a situation going on.

Power is completely f***ed. It would be fixed until mid-monday. Currently I'm on a public shopping centre computer, but it's 50p for 5 miniatures and I have a pound.

Damn. That's unfortunate. Sorry to hear that, man.

Well it wouldn't be right for me to delay the show solely on your account, but I'm still waiting on some stuff so there is a chance that I may hold off til Monday.

[MikeyMania]

Did you get my promo Natural?

Yep, I do have that one. In fact so far I have promos for every match but one

[MikeyMania]

Jolly good. Anybody at risk of being cut around here?

I'll have a list available following Slammiversary.

[MrBRulzOK]

Okay, I'm not home yet, but I should be back shortly. The show will be a work in progress as I have one finish to write still, but we shall get it done tonight.

I should be ready to go in the next half hour.

[Deleted]

My stuff is in, Natural. Please let me know if you didn't receive anything. I didn't promo for Gail, but it doesn't matter.

[Waffel113]

I'M READY BROTHER.

[Waffel113]

Oh and while we're waiting, enjoy this.

[MrBRulzOK]

Okay, Slammiversary kicks off in thirty miniatures. That'll give me enough time to get everything ready to go. Sit tight, folks.

[MrBRulzOK]

The road for Bound for Glory has begun...

And throughout the journey one man has proven himself to be the front runner.

*Cut to Phil Shatter taking down Mr. Anderson thanks to Mark LoMonaco and getting the pin*

A man who has no qualms about breaking the rules to get what he wants.

A man who will do whatever it takes to carve his niche in TNA.

*Cut to Shatter hitting Kurt Angle with a PTSD*

What happens when that man meets a man who has already proven himself time and time again?

*Cuts to Joey Ryan hitting various people with That 70's Kicks, including beating Eric Young for the title the first time then superkicking Shelley off the Ultimate X cables to win it the second time*

TNA's rising star... faces a star that has not yet begun to fall.

*Cut to Joey Ryan and Phil Shatter staring one another down*

I say bring it on. Joey Ryan fears NO OPPONENT!

We are BUILDING A RELIGION, A LIMITED EDITION, WE ARE NOW accepting offers for our pendant key chains.
To Resist it is Useless, It is Useless to Resist It.

The Sleazy Superstar faces one of the dirtiest players in the game.

Can Ryan make it to Bound for Glory? Can he survive the Bound for Glory Series? Or will Shatter bring his journey to an end?

TNA Slammiversary... the stage where we celebrate our past, present, and our future.

*Cut to Kenny King hitting Petey Williams behind with his title belt*

*Cut to Matt Morgan hitting Shark Boy with a Carbon Footprint from off the apron.*

*Cut to Hernandez hitting someone with a Border Toss*

*Cut to Father James Mitchell cackling alongside his New Church*

*Cut to Hamada hitting the Hamada Driver on Gail Kim*

*Cut to Samoa Joe destroying Magnus*

You can't stop the future... no matter how hard you try.

*Cut to the Psycho Circus attacking Eric Bischoff followed by Garett Bischoff ripping off his clown mask*

Tonight... the future begins. Who will survive the test of time?

AND NOW... TNA PRESENTS, TNA SLAMMIVERSARY!



Welcome everyone to TNA Slammiversary, our celebration of the past, present, and future of this company! Mike Tenay here alongside my broadcast colleagues, Simon Diamond and Rampage Jackson. We are coming to you live from Columbus, Georgia tonight. And I telll you, it promises to be a hell of a show tonight!

I hear that! This is my first time at Slammiversary, but I'm absolutely looking forward to it, Mike! I'm hoping it's a good one.

I've been to this stage before, but this is my first time commentating. I can remember it like it was yesterday: me as the leader of my young, budding Diamonds in the Rough as we ruled over the tag team scene.

You seem to remember things different than I, Simon.

Well you're going senile so that's no shock.

Moving on, tonight we have eight fantastic matches in store for you. In our opening match we'll see the FTW Championship on the line as Samoa Joe defends it for the first time in an official match against Tommy Mercer. Samoa Joe has promised to defend his belt against any and all comers and this will be his first test. Tommy Mercer has been saying he wants his title back and he'll do whatever it takes to get hold of it.

After that it's the debut of Garett Bischoff as he takes on Magnus. Magnus has been chosen by Eric Bischoff to help lead the charge against the war between TNA and the Psycho Circus as of late. Judging from what they almost did to Francois Kazarian last Thursday I'm glad that we finally have a cavalry of our own to deal with these miscreants. And I hope that tonight Magnus takes Bischoff down a peg.

Right back at ya. These Psycho Circus punks are nothing but disrespectful! Magnus is a bonafide legend in the making here in TNA. If anybody can help turn the tide it's that guy.

Following that The Beautiful People defend the Women's Tag Team Championships against Holly and Hannah. Nobody expected these two to earn the opportunity, but despite that they pulled off a major upset last Thursday and thus were granted this shot. They hope to take full advantage of this opportunity tonight, but will it be enough to knock off the dominant champions?

After that it's X-Division time as Kenny King defends against Petey Williams. Williams won the shot last month after he beat Jeff Hardy at Sacrifice. But King made things personal when he attacked Williams from behind last Thursday during his match against Samoa Joe. Williams is no doubt not going to take that lying down. You can expect these two to go at it without a doubt!

Then it's the end of an era. Alex Shelley, the former TNA World Heavyweight Champion who shocked the world when he beat Joey Ryan in what he says is his last ever match in TNA. And what better way to go out then against his long time friend and tag team partner, Chris Sabin? This one is going to emotional for certain and I can't wait to see these two compete against each other.

Following that it's the return of King of the Mountain, except this time the tag team titles are on the line! It seems this is Bischoff's way of returning the favor towards after Young attacked him when he was about to announce their opponents. And so now Matt Morgan and Eric Young must defend against the belts against two former champion teams in the returning L.A.X. and the wily Bad Influence. In addition they also have to deal with The psychotic New Church and the even more odd pairing of Jersey Shore Shark Attack. The Psycho Circus will have their work cut out for them tonight.

Hey, Eric Young won the belt before in this environment. Only difference I see is that this time it's two belts instead of one!

Following that Hamada defends one more time against Gail Kim. Gail has made it clear that she wants another opportunity and she accepted Hamada's challenge for one. What that means is yet to be determined, but I have no doubt Hamada will be in for the fight of her life tonight.

And then our main event. Fresh off his latest Bound for Glory victory, Phil Shatter tapped out Sting last Thursday and earned his opportunity to challenge the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Joey Ryan. Joey Ryan must retain tonight or he'll have a hard time getting back to Bound for Glory. If he loses he'll replace Shatter and have to fight his way to a rematch. If Ryan wins then Shatter will have to earn a second opportunity at the belt, which will be easier said then done.

Folks, this show is going to historic, I can tell. Get ready for a night full of drama and action! So let's not waste any time as we have Tommy Mercer backstage with some words for his opponent tonight. So let's take it... TO THE BACK!

[MrBRulzOK]

Tommy ‘Crimson’ Mercer is backstage, Mark LoMonaco is seen skulking around the background. Mercer is looking off camera.

TWO MEN ENTER, ONE MAN LEAVES
TWO MEN ENTER, ONE MAN LEAVES
TWO MEN ENTER, ONE MAN LEAVES
Tonight is Thunderdome Joe, and in time we shall have to get beyond Thunderdome.
Tonight we shall both enter the ring and we shall knock each other senseless in the pursuit of the TNA Legends Championship, sure you may call it something else, but it shall forever be tied to that idea, that idea that a title can be bestowed upon men, that a championship can make a man go from a scrub to legend.
And, by hook or by crook, I shall have that title mean that again, if I have to destroy myself in order to do so.
That is how it is going to have to be Joe, because tonight I have my chance, I see my opportunity to return to the mountaintop, to be able to take from you exactly what I need to take from you.
See, Tonight is Waterloo, Joe. Tonight is Stalingrad, Tonight is Normandy. Tonight is the Bugle; Tonight one of us is crossing the Rubicon. Tonight is the Battle of Rome. Tonight is the battle that will make or break the war Joe. This can make this war a long, long, thing, or it can be very, very, short. That is your decision to make Joe, you can make this transition very easy, or you can die.
Do you want to die Joe?
Do you?
Because I can arrange that, and I guarantee that the only way you are leaving is with one of us in a body bag, Joe.
You have a reputation to uphold, Joe, the Samoan Submission F*** Off, the Champ IS HERE!
…
But the Champ will have to deal with a legend, living or dead, I AM THE TNA LEGENDS CHAMPION. I AM TOMMY ‘CRIMSON’ MERCER.
And Joe, you may win a few battles, even important ones like tonight, but the war, the war was decided long, long, ago.

[MrBRulzOK]

The lights dim to black throughout the arena as music begins being played on a piano. Video plays of Tommy 'Crimson' Mercer as the only light source.

He never ever saw it coming at all
He never ever saw it coming at all
He never ever saw it coming at all
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Hero

The song continues playing as footage of Tommy 'Crimson' Mercer plays. Eventually, Mercer walks out, alone, as the following plays, Mercer voice is mixed with that of the singer's.

I'm the hero of the story, don't need to be saved
I'm the hero of the story, don't need to be saved
I'm the hero of the story, don't need to be saved
I'm the hero of the story, don't need to be saved
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
No one's got it all
No one's got it all
No one's got it all

Here is the challenger, Tommy ‘Crimson’ Mercer. Looking focused and however you would describe this attitude shift he has taken.
Mercer is just making use of the resources he has, he is motivating himself and getting into Samoa Joe’s head.

Nation of Violence

Whether or not that worked is up for interpretation, as Samoa Joe looks like his normal pissed off self.
Despite not winning on Impact, Samoa Joe has been on an absolute tear since beginning his rise to taking the TNA Television title from KCW. Let’s go to JB for the introductions.

“The Following Contest is our opening bout and scheduled for one fall and is for the TNA FTW Championship.”

“Introducing first, the challenger, from Cleveland, Ohio, Tommy ‘Crimson’ Mercer.”

Mercer points at Joe’s belt smirking while the crowd boos.

“And his opponent, from the Isle of Samoa, he is the TNA FTW Champion, Samoa Joe”

Joe raises the belt into the air as the crowd cheers.

Tommy ‘Crimson’ Mercer vs. Samoa Joe (TNA FTW Championship)
15 Minutes

[TOO SWEET]

FJ's situation really sucks and its tough to see a reign with the potential of his end this way. But at the same time, I think it'd be incredibly unfair to vote for the non-promoing superstar in a title match.

Sorry FJ but Mercer with a diving spear.

[Waffel113]

Crimson with a Legendary Move!

[MrBRulzOK]

Yeah, it's unfortunate, but Karmic has been working hard for this belt. Doesn't feel right to deny him the win since he's been promoing consistently.

But I'll compensate F.J. somehow if he does lose tonight considering the circumstances.

[MrBRulzOK]

As the bell rings, Joe and Mercer immediately got at brawling across the ring, Tommy breaking up Joe offense with shoves and sloppy strikes. Joe’s offense consists primarily of some stiff kicks and chops, pushing Mercer across the ring into a corner, where he drops Mercer with an Enzuigiri.

Joe toe kicks Mercer to a seated position, chopping his back and performing a shoot kick dropping Mercer onto his back, where he lays him out with a knee drop. Joe hooks both legs.

Mercer reverses it into a small package.

Tw- Kick Out

Joe breaks out of the small package, as Mercer rises to his feet, catching Joe with an Exploder Suplex. Mercer starts stomping Joe as he rises to his feet, Mercer throws a couple of haymakers, Joe catches the second a lifts Mercer up and quickly drops Mercer with a Samoan Drop.

Joe stomps Mercer, bringing him back up to hit him with the facewash. Joe, flips Mercer over and prepares to put him in the STF, before he can lock it in, Mercer flips Joe over and cradles him.

Kick out!

Mercer breaks and clears to a corner as Joe rises, Joe spins around and runs directly into a Tommy Mercer spear. Mercer does a quick pose after staying on his feet, and lifts Joe to his feet. Mercer sets Joe up for a powerbomb, bombing Joe into the turnbuckle. Joe hits the mat before rolling out of the ring onto the floor.

Joe is trying to get to his feet on the floor, as Tommy climbs the Turnbuckle, Mercer sets up to elbow drop Joe on the floor, when Joe manages to pull the top ring rope, causing Mercer to drop onto the turnbuckle. Joe pulls Mercer off of the turnbuckle and hits the Muscle Buster onto the apron, rolling Mercer into the ring and dropping to the floor.

Joe rises to his feet, as Mark LoMonaco marches down the ramp. Joe backs around the ring, and grabs his belt. Meeting LoMonaco at where the ramp meets the ring, Joe waffles LoMonaco with the belt, dropping Mark. Joe hangs his belt off the ring, entering the ring and covering Mercer.

ROPE BREAK!

Joe looks at the referee, who gestures to Tommy Mercer’s wrist resting on the bottom rope. Joe shakes his head, as he picks up Mercer and places him on the turnbuckle again. Mercer stirs, hitting Joe with a forearm, knocking Joe away from the turnbuckle and giving Mercer and opportunity to set up on the turnbuckle.

Joe doesn’t give him enough any time as he rushes up the turnbuckle.

Mercer blocks Joe’s attempt at offense, and instead lifts Joe up for the sitout spinebuster, AVALANCHE RED SKY. Mercer covers Joe.

3!

“Your winner, and NEW TNA FTW CHAMPION, TOMMY ‘CRIMSON’ MERCER!”

Mark LoMonaco rolls into the ring, picking up Mercer and grabbing the belt as he carries both up the ramp out of the stage.

[MrBRulzOK]

We head to Eric Bischoff in his office. There is suddenly a knock on the door.

It's unlocked. Come in.

Why thank you.

Eric Young walks into the office, and the smile on Bischoff's face immediately disappears.

Oh great... maybe I spoke too soon. What do you want, Eric? Here to try and break my neck again?

Now, now, no need to be hostile. I come with a simple question.

You excited to see Garett perform tonight? You excited to see your baby boy all grown up in that ring?

Bischoff's face shows an angry scowl.

Well I hope you are.

Because while I'm watching little Garett's back, make no mistake Eric. If you take back your part of this deal... bad things will happen. I expect you to hold up your end. Got it?

Yeah... I've got it. Loud and clear.

Eric Young lets out a laugh.

Loosen up. Enjoy the show. Its one hell of a circus.

Young lets out a louder laugh and exits. Bischoff watches as he leaves.

[MrBRulzOK]

We cut to the back where we see Magnus standing backstage, looking less enthused than usual. Christy is standing by.

Christy Hemme here with Magnus. Magnus, tonight you make your return to the ring as you go one on one with the debuting Garett Bischoff. And ever since he's joined the Psycho Circus he's been running amok here in TNA along with his Eric Young.

You don't think I realize that, love? You think that the Mag Daddy has been blind to this whole rigamarole?! Well I can assure you that's not the case.Because I've been watching Young and his troupe of clowns spread their bufoonery all over the bloody place! I've watched them make a mockery of TNA Wrestling... and to be quite frank, I've got no idea what's going on with Bischoff right now.

But I can tell you this. You see tonight Garett makes his debut here in TNA. And I'm going to be certain it's a memorable one. That little snot thinks that he's entitled to everything, entitled to this, entitled to that, the epitome of a lad with a silver spoon in his mouth. Well here's a newsflash for you, Garett: the only thing you'll be entitled to tonight is a severe arsebeating! Because you see, there are plenty of us in the TNA Locker Room that are sick of you and your buds making a mockery of this company.

And let me let you in on a little secret. The reason I didn't go after Samoa Joe, the reason I didn't get my revenge, well it was two-fold. The first reason is exactly what I said, that I'm not like that bloke. I'm not some vicious monster who wants to hurt every living creature he gets his paws on. And that's the truth.

But reason number two, let's just say... there are people above Bischoff who have been keeping an eye on this situation. And to be quite frank, they aren't pleased. And so they've placed it in my hands to take care of it. You see, I'm going to be the man who turns the tide of this little war you're trying to start between the Circus and TNA. After all, I'm the most qualified. I'm a former three time world champion, a former tag team champion, and a man whose been known for getting things done. Hell, I hold the record for the longest combined title reigns! There's a good reason for that too.

Fact of the matter is I don't like clowns, never have. And what's worse, I don't like people getting pushed around. When I was in the hospital and I saw you end the career of Kid Kash, a man who, quite honestly, was starting to finally find his niche in TNA... only for you to take it away for him like the heartless monsters you are, I WANTED TO REACH THROUGH THE BLOODY TV AND THROTTLE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU, YOUNG! How dare you see fit to end a man's career of your own volition! This business is dangerous enough without you making it hell for us by giving us more reason to fear for our livelihood!

Tonight the show is over, Young. Tonight... I'm sounding the horns of battle and I'm bringing an end to your little circus troupe once and for all. And if you see fit to try and interfere in this match or any others tonight, I will kick your arse right out of Georgia!

The Mag Daddy isn't a guy you can just push around, and your little jester, Garett, is going to find that out the hard way. I'll see right to it... or should I say, we'll see to it?

Magnus smirks and steps aside as a familiar face stands behind him, a smirk on his face.

Oh my brother... testify!

Well said, mate.

Magnus and Devon nod to one another before they make their exit.
--------------------------

We head backstage to Garett Bischoff with Sting.

Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages. The Psycho Circus has entered town and where we come, chaos soon follows. Things will dissolve before your eyes as you watch your heroes be broken down, your favorites destroyed before your very eyes, and your hopes and dreams dashed before they even saw the light of day. And tonight is a two part special as we are proud to present TWO, count them, TWO Psycho Circus matches tonight.

Later tonight, we'll bring your TNA World Tag Team Champions, Morgan and Young but for now I stand with the blue chipper of our crew. And given our black hearts... I guess we can call him Mr. Black and Blue. GARETT BISCHOFF!

Garett taunts towards the camera.

That's right, Sting. How many others can say they've debuted at a pay per view? Very few. Not even our TNA World Champ Joey Ryan can claim that. But in a matter of minutes, I'll be able to. And I'll be able to claim a victory as well, as I kick Brutus Magnus' british booty all the way from here to Timbuktu.

You think Magnus is afraid of you?

I doubt it.

I doubt he is scared or even giving me the light of day. Neither is Samoa Joe. Neither is Kenny King, Christian York, any of the commentary team, or my own father. Nah, everyone wants Garett out of the ring. Everyone thinks I'm sort of joke.

We here at the Psycho Circus sure do enjoy a good joke.

Yeah, well wait until they hear the punchline. Because this one has a killer ending.

The forgotten son, pushed aside by everyone within TNA, joins the rag tag group of rebels looking to inspire change. We take the company by storm, turn everything upside down on its head, and enjoy a good laugh at the expense of others who fail to understand the humor. The levity of the situation. We carry a black bat of justice in one hand and a vanilla cream pie in the other.

You see, the joke ain't so funny when the target gets put on yourself. When the fool becomes the king. When the men who have gotten used to success in this company get that taken away by a young upstart punk like me. My name is Garett Bischoff and I'm going to be a star here soon enough. My name is going to be written in bright lights. My face is going to be in the front of the program. And the websites, the reporter, the marks and the smarks, all of them will look at me with admiration and cheer the ground I walk on.

And tonight I start that rise to super stardom.

Garett walks off, leaving Sting alone.

...And they said I was crazy.

Sting follows him out.
