Backstage, John E. Bravo was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Both Taya Valkyrie and Rosemary expected him to help them win the Slammiversary Gauntlet Battle Royal tonight.
Next up is the TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match. Moose has angered the Hardcore Legend Tommy Dreamer, lighting a fire under him we haven't seen in some time. Can Dreamer overcome the odds and finally shut Moose up? Or will Moose continue to parade around as the "Real World's Champion" at Slammiversary
TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Tommy Dreamer vs Moose (c) on Slammiversary
Moose manhandled Tommy Dreamer at the start, running through his challenger with brute force and speed. However, once Dreamer fell to the floor, he earned te advantage with some weaponry at Slammiversary.
Trash cans and a jersey choke put a stop to Moose's run momentarily, but he was able to respond with an atomic drop on the barricade. After a shot to the back with a steel chair, Moose brought Dreamer down on the ramp with a suplex.
Moose pelted Dreamer with a kendo stick, but Dreamer was able to turn one of those shots into a White Russian Legsweep. Setting up for a diving kendo strike, Moose countered with a dropkick, leaving a boot print on the face of the former ECW Champion.
With Dreamer set up in a trash can, another running dropkick connected. Dreamer struggled to get to his feet, trying to use the dented can to hoist himself up. Moose looked to finish the job with a springboard crossbody off the ringpost, but Dreamer countered into a cutter on the trash can! Somehow, Moose kicked out!
As he was set up on a sitting chair, Moose managed to drop Dreamer on the it, cracking his jaw. A pile of chairs were brought in the ring for a piledriver, but Dreamer countered. Dreamer attempted the Dreamer DDT, only to get dropped in the steel with a standing uranage slam. A standing moonsault nearly got the win.
A second rope moonsault, though, missed, and Dreamer finally hit the Dreamer DDT. Moose, though, still kicked out! Dreamer brought out the tacks, a classic staple in these Old School Matches. His piledriver, though, was countered with a low blow. Moose then bounced his face off the mat, sending him into the thumbtacks.
With that, the Lights Out Spear put Dreamer away at Slammiversary.
Results: Moose defeated Tommy Dreamer via pinfall at Slammiversary
Grade: B+
Backstage at Slammiversary, Gia Miller was awaiting the arrival of the Good Brothers. Johnny Swinger, though, pulled up in their rent-a-car, believing that it was for Ole Anderson, not Karl Anderson.
