According to Josh Alexander, last year’s TNA Slammiversary pay-per-view was supposed to end very differently.
Current and former TNA Wrestling stars Steve Maclin and Josh Alexander recently took part in a stage event hosted by the Johnny I Pro Show. While discussing last year’s Slammiversary pay-per-view, Alexander revealed how different creative plans initially were for that event compared to what we saw.
“The original creative plans were I was not supposed to be in the six-way at Slammiversary,” Josh Alexander revealed. “Neither were you (Steve Maclin). I was not supposed to turn heel on Joe Hendry and do all this stuff with Joe Hendry and stuff prior to that. The original plan on paper was we were supposed to tag up.
Plans change all the time in wrestling…
“I think we were supposed to defeat The System at Slammiversary for the tag belts. We were gonna be tag champions and we were gonna feud with The Hardys or something and then after we drop to The Hardys — August, Septemberish or something — that’s when we were gonna go into this feud to go to Bound For Glory and obviously, things in wrestling, fluid and they change all the time.
“No matter how disappointed you might be. But, yeah, so we ended up scrapping all that. I end up turning heel. We kind of just had to run into this feud and built it up really quick for Bound For Glory and then pay it off at Turning Point.” [H/T: POST Wrestling]
