We move closer to Slammiversary and the King of the Mountain Match. Jim Cornette announced four of the men who will try to get into the match with TNA Champion Samoa Joe. Joe will announce his four names. Will Kevin Nash be one of the four? What is next in Eric Young’s never ending search until June 8th to find Elvis? Last week, Kurt Angle asked Karen to come back home. What will Karen say this week? Will it be different than the last few times she has told Kurt that they are done? Who will qualify for the main event at Slammiversary. What other matches will be announced for the pay per view?
We start off with Team 3D talking to someone and Jeremy Borash is eavesdropping. Ray says that he has their back; but they freak out when they discover Jeremy.
We take a look back at what happened last week with Kurt’s desires to get his wife Karen back while we see everything else happen during last week’s show. There is going to be a wedding because when you think marriage, you think professional wrestling.
