TNA Slammiversary preview and predictions: The TNA World and X-Division Titles are up for grabs in two separate King of the Mountain matches, Will Sting lose his spot in the Main Event Mafia?
Jun 21, 2009 - 12:00 PM |
The following predictions are made without any inside knowledge of the match finishes. Basically, I am guessing just like you are. Furthermore, I would like to wish a very Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there. Enjoy the show.
Mick Foley vs. Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle vs. A.J. Styles vs. Samoa Joe in a King of the Mountain match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship: First things first; with Samoa Joe vowing to take out Kurt Angle, I don't see either of them winning the title. Styles is a dark horse in this match because he just hasn't been given a lot of attention. That leaves us with Foley or Jarrett. Although this is Jarrett's namesake match, I think there is more money in having him win the title in a one on one match vs. Foley, so I say Foley retains here.
Suicide vs. Alex Shelley vs. Chris Sabin vs. Consequences Creed vs. Jay Lethal in a King of the Mountain match for the TNA X-Division Championship: This is a tough one to pick. The smart money says to go with Suicide, but given the fact four men want to unmask him, they should be able to do so. I could see all four men costing each other and Suicide winning, or Shelley winning the title with or without Suicide being unmasked. I'll go with the former, however, TNA might want to beat WWE to the punch in terms of unmasking someone.
Team 3D vs. Beer Money for the TNA World Tag Team Championships: This has been a great feud with some great storyline development. This program has been booked extremely well. I am expecting a very fun match between these two teams and Beer Money walking out of Detroit as the new tag team champions. On deck is The British Invasion and perhaps the returning LAX.
Angelina Love vs. Tara for the TNA Knockouts Championship: I would be surprised to see a title change here although TNA teased Tara and Awesome Kong. I see Kong being involved here somehow and perhaps accidentally causing Tara the match. Then we will get awkward partners tag matches with Kong and Tara vs. The Beautiful People on Impact for a few weeks. Angelina wins here and her title reign continues.
Sting vs. Matt Morgan with Sting's leadership role in the Main Event Mafia on the line: Again, it still makes zero sense for Sting to put his his spot to without being forced to, but oh well. I am going to go with Morgan here. The Mafia is falling apart anyway and this would be an opportunity to make Sting a full fledged face again. Morgan wins, perhaps with help from Angle or other Mafia members. I would not be surprised then to see the other Mafia guys turn on Morgan because they just wanted Sting out. It will interesting to see this play out.
Raven and Daffney vs. Abyss and Taylor Wilde in Monster's Ball match: My heart wants to say Raven and Daffney, because I absolutely dig their current act, but I think Abyss and Wilde will score the victory here. I'm expecting the usual spots that have become too commonplace in Abyss' matches, but it should be fun nonetheless.
Daniels vs. Shane Douglas with Daniels' roster spot on the line: I would hope they are not going to do another "leave and come back" angle with Daniels. I'll say Daniels wins and if they decide to keep Douglas around, they will find a storyline reason to do so.
