TNA presents Slammiversary June 18th, 2006 on pay per view.

Main Event: King of the Mountain Match.

Christian Cage has stated that he will be the first NWA World Champion to successfully defend the title at the King of the Mountain Match.

Probable combatants: The Monster Abyss, Ron "The Truth" Killings, Jeff Jarrett and Sting.

Let's take a closet look the wrestlers...

Abyss

Coming off the heels of a feud with the current NWA World Champ Christian Cage. Under the guidance of his mentor "Father" James Mitchell, Abyss has wreaked havoc on Cage! Unleashing "Doomsday" on the champ.. but eventually losing opportunities to win the title.

Ron "The Truth" Killings

the former 2 time NWA/TNA World Champ. "The Sun Tan Superman" has a renewed taste for the Gold. After becoming the first African American to hold the prestigious NWA World Heavyweight title. The first of which came by defeating "The World's Most Dangererous Man" Ken Shamrock.

Killings would later find himself lost in the shuffle and became a mid card comedy act, when he was aligned with Konnan and BG "Road Dogg" James. To form one of the most over stables in TNA history the 3 Live Krew. But after the recent break up with the Krew.. Killings appears to be re dedicated himself to regaining the NWA Title.

Jeff Jarrett

Using his cunning and crafty veteran experience combined with his cagey, technical skills. Double J has been able to dominate TNA. Earning himself the moniker King of the Mountain..

After Christian Cage ended his looooong lasting reign as World Champ (much to the delight of TNA fans everywhere.) Jarrett has been busy feuding with Sting. Who was brought to TNA as "the new face" and savior of the company. Much to the degree to Mr. SlapNutz himself.

Now on June 18th Jarrett finds himself in the all too familiar situation.... A chance to win the World title. In the very match that he claims to be his very own, the King of the Mountain match.

Sting

He has declared that his one true reason he came to TNA was to rid TNA wrestling of it's terminal cancer that is Jeff Jarrett. Claiming that as long as Jeff Jarrett remains in TNA, the entire TNA roster will continued to be held back and would eventually lead to the demise of the promotion!!

One has to ponder the question. Will Sting's mission to send the self proclaimed King of the Mountain into exile come between him and his chances to become the NWA World Heavyweight Champion?

"Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner vs. "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe

The origin of this feud can be traced back to last months ppv "Sacrifice"..Sting/Joe vs. Jarrett/Stiener match up.

I can remember their first standoff in the ring as they were both tagged and squared off for the first time. Steiner quickly began trash talking and an un-intimidated Samoa Joe just as quickly pie faced Steiner and it was on like donkey kong.

That match proved two things..(1) Steiner can still go. and (2) Joe can go with the heavyweights in a high profile match.

Coming off a knee injury. How will it affect Joe's performance?

Will Joe be able to get Steiner in the Muscle Buster??

One things for sure. I can't imagine Samoa Joe tapping out to lame ass "Steiner Recliner"...

Steiner use to be a human suplex factory. But now he has limited his arsenal to about 1 or 2 variations.

So with Samoa Joe currently being pushed to the moon and this being his first one on one heavyweight debut.. I don't see him losing this one. But something tells me than there will be some sort of questionable booking that allow this match to end with a clean finish.
