TNA Slammiversary: Pre Show Updates

PRE-SHOW

- JB hyped the PPV line up.

- Via text message; an early estimate has the crowd around 5,000. We heard they didn't sell many more than 2,000 tickets, so they have likely papered the crowd.

- Lauren interviewed Beer Money Inc. Lauren pointed out that Team 3D just flew back from Japan via a 15 hour flight, and she wasn't even sure they had arrived in the building yet. Roode admitted they have had the lighter schedule, but laughed with James Storm. Storm said he don't feel sorry for them, he feels sorry for the plane with those big guys on it. Storm said he has been partying and spending their $100,000.

(A) The British Invasion (with Rob Terry) vs. "Showtime" Eric Young & Rhino. Rhino went to tag in Young, but he jumped down from the ring and walked off. Jesse Neal from the U.S.S Cole came out to provide Rhino moral support in this now handicap match. Mike Tenay said the X-Division title match fought under King of the Mountain rules will open the PPV. Neal tagged in, and got pinned by the British Invasion at 5:36.

- Via text message; Dixie Carter came out and took pictures with the fans. Crowd hot for hometown hero Rhino.
