(02:58):
Matt Cardona coming out in some New York Mets inspired
gear hopefully we see that in a major Bendy or

his opponent was another New Yorker, TNA's own Mike Santana,

(03:21):
with Santana defeating Cardona. We then had a three versus

match amazing Red defeating Marcus Mathers. And in the main event,

(05:11):
the GCW World Championship match with Champion Fie going against
Charles Mason, in which Fie won and retained his title.
Then the very next night, coming from the UBS Arena

(05:34):
in Long Island, New York, TNA slammer Versary. This is
considered to being one of TNA's largest crowds. We had
the pre show which was honored which they honored Johnny Rods.

(06:02):
It began with GM Miller, Tommy Dreamer, and David Legreca.
A Dreamer brought out Rods to the ring and honored
the legendary trainer in his hometown, listing some of the
many famous wrestlers he has trained and then also in
the pre show, we had TNA Knockout Championship title match

(06:27):
with champions The Elegance Brand Ash and Heather going against
the Inspiration Jesse McKay and Cassie Lee. The Inspiration made
their way to the ring, followed by the champions The
Elegance Brand, who were accompanied by M By Elegance and

(06:49):
carried torches. The match began with Jesse McKay getting the
early advantage on Heather by Elegance before tagging in Cassie
Lee for a double team spot. The Elegance Brand then
took control of the match for several minutes until Cassie
Lee received a hot tag, shifting the momentum. Lee hit

(07:10):
a suplex on Ash for a near fall, but that
was broken up by M By Elegance. McKay and Lee
followed up the dives from the corner onto their opponents
on the floor. They went back into the ring and
they attempted the Idolizer double team finisher, but it was
broken up. Also. The finish came when one of the

(07:33):
Elegance Brand used a torch as a weapon on one
of the Inspirations, leading to Ash hitting the rarefied air
for the victory and to retain the titles. Then we
had Eric Young and the Northern Armory going against the

(07:58):
Hometown Man. Eric Young in his faction, the Northern Armory
came to the ring, Young insulted the New York crowd,
which prompted the entrance of the Hometown Man for an
impromptu match. Before the bell, the Hometown Man took out
Judas Icarus and Travis Williams at ringside. During the match,

(08:21):
Young tore the New York Islanders jersey off of the
Hometown Man. The Hometown Man rallied with a ten punch
spots into the corner. Young briefly took back control with
a flying elbow for a two count and became distracted
by a fan. After re entering the ring, Young attempted

(08:44):
a pile driver, but the Hometown Man countered with a
roll up before the three count and the win. We
then had a three on three match with Bulletproof Steve Macklin,
Jake Something, and the Southern Psychopath Mance Warner accompanied by

(09:07):
Steph de Lander going against the rope Breakers consisting of
Real One, the former Enzoa Morey, Zillafa two and Josh Bishop.
The team of Macklin, Something and Warner with the Lander entered,
followed by the debut faction of the Real One formerly

(09:29):
Enzoe Moray, Zillafa two, and Jake and Josh Bishop. Before
the match, Real One delivered his signature catchphrases and verbally
ran down their opponents. The match started when Zillafa two
and Mance Warner traded shots. Fa I hit a simoon
drop but missed a top rope splash. Real One and

(09:51):
Steve Macklin tagged in, and the action soon broke down
into a brawl involved in all six competitors. Amidst the Chao,
Josh Bishop hit a choke slam. The match concluded after
what was described as an incidental contact involving man Swarner,
which allowed Real One to hit Eat Defeat for the

(10:14):
pinfall victory. Sounds like one heck of a pre match,
which is why you guys need to go on Triiller
TV plus and by this pay per view for thirty
nine ninety five, We then had Mustafa Ali with Tasha

(10:39):
Steeles and John Skuyler going against Cedric Alexander. Mustafa Ali,
accompanied by Tasha Steeles and his secret service, including John Skuyler,
made their entrance first Cedric Alexander followed to a positive
crowd reaction. The action starter fast and quickly. It spilled

(11:01):
outside the ring, where Ali hit a German Suplex on Alexander.
Ali then attempted to dive through the ropes, but his
secret service failed to catch him, causing him to land
hard on his head. He recovered with a smirk and
later hit a Mitchinoku driver on his own security members
on the floor. Back in the ring, Ali hit a

(11:25):
Tornado DDT, but Alexander fought back, hitting a suplex into
a turnbuckle for a two count. The action went outside again,
where Alexander's back body dropped Ali onto the exposed steel steps.
Tasha Steeles then distracted the referee, allowing John Skuyler to
attack Alexander. Ali followed up with a four to fifty splash,

(11:49):
but Alexander kicked out at two after pushing the referee.
Steeles was objected from ringside. Later, Alexander countered an on
neckbreaker attempt with a cutter after knocking Skyler from the apron,
Alexander hit the lumberjack check finisher on Ali for another

(12:11):
very close near fall as a chair came into play.
Steeles ran back to the ring. Alexander stepped on the
chair to prevent her from using it and then hit
it Steals with the Lombard check. This distraction allowed Mustafa
Ali to recover and hit Alexander with a second four

(12:32):
fifty splash to get the pinfall victory. We then saw
the System jd C, Eddie Edwards, and the Prince of
Queens himself, Brian Myers, along with their teammate the Complete

(12:54):
mac Cardona, going against NXT's Dark Stone Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin,
Saquon Sugars and Cutler James. The Systems JDC, Eddie Edwards,
and Brian Myers, accompanied by Alicia Edwards, made their entrance.

(13:16):
They were joined by Long Island native Maccardona, who received
a large hometown ovation the WWE NXT faction. Dark State
then made their way down to the ring. Before the
match could officially begin, all eight men brawled in and
around and outside of the ring. During the chaos, Alisha

(13:40):
Edwards handed JDC a chair before he hit a dive
to the floor, an homage to the late great Sabou.
The match formerly started with Dark State taking control, isolating
the Prince of queens in their corner. They utilized frequent

(14:00):
tags to keep a fresh man on Myers at all times,
preventing him from making a tag. Eventually, the complete Matt
Cardona got the hot tag for his team and the
crowd erupted. Cardona hit the Reboot for a close near fall.

(14:22):
The finish of the match saw Cardona hit the Radio Silence,
which was immediately followed by the Boston knee party from
Eddie Edwards for the pinfall victory. Tessa Blanchard with Victoria
Crawford versus Indie Heartwell Blanchard a company ray. Crawford made

(14:47):
her entrance, followed by Heartwell. Early in the match, Blanchard
controlled the offense, ignoring negative chance from the crowd. Later,
Blanchard hit her magnum finishing move, but Heartwell surprisingly kicked
out before the three counts. The commentary team noted this

(15:09):
was the first time that anyone had kicked out of
the move since Blanchard's return. Seizing the opportunity, Indy Hartwell
recovered and hit her Hurts Donut finisher, followed by another
move to secure the upset pinfall victory. During a post

(15:31):
match interview at ringside with gam Miller, Blanchard snapped and
attacked Heartwell. When Miller tried to intervene, Blanchard turned her
attention to the interview, viciously attacking her and slamming her
face into the steel ring steps. Crawford held Hartward back

(15:53):
while security eventually separated everyone backstage. Shortly after, the TNA
Director of Authority Santino Morella, announced that there would be
consequences for Blanchard's actions and that he had her thrown
out of the building. In another backstage interview, we see

(16:15):
George the Iceman and the TNA Knockouts tag team champs
The Elegance Brand. They were confronted by The Inspiration, who
were angry about him by Elegances interfering in their championship
match on the pre show. The Inspiration then teased that

(16:36):
they have a friend in high places and challenged the
champions to a trios match on a future episode of
TNA Impact. We then had the winner take All match
with TNA Knockouts champ Masha Slamovich going against en TS

(17:01):
Women's Champ Ja c Jane, the NXT Women's Champion jc Jane,
accompanied by Fatal Influence members Fallen Hamley and Jasmine Knicks
made her way to the ring first. The TNA Knockouts
Champion Maasha Slamovich then followed. Slamovich started the match strong,

(17:22):
but Jane took control for a prolonged offensive stretch. Throughout
the match, members of Fatal Influence repeatedly interfered whenever Slamovich
started to build momentum. Jane attempted to use a title
as a weapon, but Slamovich managed to hang on. As
Fallen Henley and Jasmine Knicks got involved again. Zia Brookside

(17:44):
and lealying Lee ran down to even the odds, brawling
with Fatal Influence to the back in the ring, Slamovich
hit a snowplow for a close to count. She then
attempted her Queen finisher, but Jane avoided it and scored
a near fall with a roll up. Jane then hit

(18:07):
the rolling encore to get the pinfall win. With this victory,
j C. Jane is now the holder of both the
TNA Knockouts World Champion and NXT's Women's World champ Man

(18:27):
Gotta Love Some Jane the TNA X Division Championship with
champion Moose going against Leon Slater. The commentary team noted
the historical stakes of the match, Moose chasing the longest
reigning championship record and Leon Slater looking to become the

(18:50):
youngest champion ever. Also noted that the attendance was announced
at seven thousand, six hundred and twenty three that is
a new US record for TNA. As the match gets
on her way, Leon Slater entered first, followed by the

(19:12):
championship champion, Moose, who made his entrance on the throne.
Moose dominated the opening moments of the match, and the
action spilled onto the floor, where Slater clearly countered a
power bomb attempt, causing Moose to spear the steel ring
steps and injure his shoulder. With Moose weakened, Slater took control,

(19:37):
hitting a number of high flying moves, including his signature
sprinting leap over the ring post onto Moose on the floor.
Later in the match, Slater hit a sent On four
fifty off the ropes, but Moose managed to kick out.
Moose fought back with a spear that sent Slater back

(20:00):
into the outside. Slater recovered and hit a Code Red
on the floor. Back in the ring, Slater hit a long,
distant swanton splash across the ring, followed immediately by another
sent on four point fifty from the top ropes for
the pin fall victory. After the match, Leon Slater celebrated

(20:25):
his historic win with his family in the crowd, and
in a show of respect, Moose took the X Division
title and put it around the waste of the new
youngest ever champion. Following Leon Slater's championship celebration, the theme

(20:47):
for the Phenomenal aj Styles hit and he made his
way to the ring to an enormous ovation from the
record breaking crowd. Styles got on the microphone and asked
fans if they missed him, stating it was good to
be back in the place where he made his name.

(21:09):
He praised the young talent and TNA, pointing specifically to
Leon Slater becoming the youngest EX Division champion in history.
When the fans started a you deserve a chance for Slater,
Styles corrected them. He said he doesn't deserve it, he

(21:31):
earned it. The crowd cheered and then began a welcome
back chant for Styles. The Phenomenal One continued saying that
Slater reminded everyone that the X Division isn't about weight limits,
it's about no limits. He mentioned some of the legendary

(21:51):
names he shared the ring with during his time in
the X division. Before congratulating the new champion one more time,
Style's music played as he applauded for Leon Slater. After
Slater left the ring, Style posed on the ropes for
fans to end the segment. There was no angle, but

(22:16):
Style seemingly had something off Mike about one match in
the TNA. We then had the co main event TNA
Tag Team Championship Ladder Match with champions The Nemmath Brothers

(22:39):
versus The Rascals versus First Class versus the Hardy Boys.
The participants for the four way ladder match made their entrances. First,
we saw the Rascals Zachary Wentz and Myron Reid, who
was filling in for the injured Training First Class AJ

(23:03):
Francis and Casey Navarro, who was also noted as being injured,
The defending champions the Nemths, Ryan and Nick Nemeath, and
finally the Hardy Boys Matt and Jeff Hardy. The match
began with immediate chaos as multiple ladders are brought into

(23:27):
the ring. The Rascals and the Nemths hit a series
of high spots early on At one point, Ryan Nemeth
confronted Major League Baseball legend Johnny Damon at ringside, which
led to Damon shoving him. Later, aj Francis performed a
moon salt off a ladder onto a pile of competitors

(23:50):
in the ring. In another major spot, Frantis and Navarro
were on the ladder that was pushed over, causing the
crash through two ladder bridges set up near the entrance ramp.
Jeff Hardy laid Casey Navarro across another ladder bridge at

(24:11):
ringside and his swan Tom bamb though the ladder did
not break upon impact, so you know that was a
botch hurt. For the finish, a rope ladder was dropped
from the ceiling. Ryan Nemeath attempted to climb it, but
was hit with a steel chair by Matt Hardy. Nick

(24:34):
Nemeath then tried to climb, but Jeff Hardy stopped him.
Jeff then ascended the ladder rope and successfully retrieved the
championship belts to win and become new Tag team champions.
Right before the main event, the TNA Director of Authority

(24:57):
Santino Morella, announced that Tessa Blanchard has been suspended indefinitely
for her actions. Earlier in the night, as the pre
show panel was giving their main event predictions, they were
interrupted by Frankie Kazarian. The King of TNA came out insulted,
busted Open Radio's own Dave Legreca, and announced he would

(25:21):
be providing special guests commentary for the main event. Onto
the main event, the triple threat for the TNA World
Championship as champion NXT Star Trick Williams defended against former
champ Joe Hendry and the hometown Hero himself, Mike Santano.

(25:48):
The entrances for the main event began with Joe Hendry
coming to the ring as fans sang along to his theme.
Mike Santana made custom entrance, walking through the crowd companied
by a live rap performance. Finally, the defending TNA World
Champ NXT Star Trick Williams made his entrance, accompanied by

(26:12):
a live choir singing whooped that Trick. The crowd on
Long Island was being very supportive of the hometown challenger
Mike Santano. Early in the match, Henry and Santana worked
together to eliminate Williams from the ring with Williams on
the floor. The two challengers battled each other. After Williams

(26:35):
re entered the match, special guest commentator Frankie Kazarian got involved,
which led to him being ejected by ringside by Santino Morello. Later,
Santana I had a big dive onto Williams on the floor.
Back in the ring, Joe Hendry hit his standing ovation

(26:56):
finisher on Santana, but only managed a two count. Santana recovered,
fired up and hit Henry with Spin the Block signature
move for the finish. Santana hit a second Spin the
Block on Henry and went for the cover. However, Trick

(27:17):
Williams slid into the ring, threw Santana off, stole the
pin on Henry, and got the three cow to retain
his title. After the match, TNA President Carlo Silva reluctantly
handed the championship belt back to Trick Williams. The show

(27:37):
closed with Williams celebrating on the entrance stage as a
shocked Mike Santana looked on from the ring, having lost
in his hometown. So overall, GCW was fantastic tna'sammiversary What's

(28:00):
even better?
