00:00Testing that black.

00:01Oh, and right out of the gates.

00:03The Psycho Knee by Macklin wasting no time.

00:06We're watching what Macklin is physically capable of here.

00:10Wait for the jarhead, but crafted by cactus driver.

00:14Ninety seven.

00:15You gotta be kidding me.

00:16Did he get all of it?

00:17Oh, and a kick out by Macklin

00:20right out of the gate.

00:22This one is absolutely off the charts.

00:25That's what this means to both competitors.

00:28A shot to get in to that elimination match for the TNA world title.

00:33I think that Callahan rushing the cactus driver.

00:36Ninety seven there didn't get to set it up completely there against Macklin.

00:40Saved Macklin ultimately here in the early stage of this match.

00:44Quite a frenzy to begin with.

00:47And they want to get it done quick.

00:49They want to get it done and get it over with

00:52so they can punch their ticket slam of Earth.

00:54And let's not forget, I mean, a couple of years ago,

00:56these two have been in some pretty nasty trenches together.

01:00Lest I forget, barbed wire massacre,

01:03which Steve Macklin came out the victor.

01:05That was a victory road back in twenty twenty two.

01:10These two have known each other for about a decade between here and WWE.

01:15A big clothesline by Macklin.

01:18Macklin, who captured the TNA World Championship

01:21after it was relinquished by Josh Alexander late last year at Rebellion.

01:28Callahan sidestepped the scud.

01:32Take one more look at this as Macklin full head of steam,

01:35but Callahan sideswiped the scud.

01:39Macklin eats the floor.

01:43Callahan, with that crazed look in his eye,

01:47has only one goal on his mind, getting back to his own

01:50TNA World Championship opportunity.

01:54Callahan dies back to the ring.

01:56Oh, another psycho knee there by Macklin.

01:59One is good. Two is better.

02:01And now there's the jar headbutt.

02:04Cover hook to the leg.

02:06Oh, and a kick out by Callahan.

02:10This one has been peddled to the floor since the bell rang.

02:16That just shows you exactly what's on the line,

02:19exactly how seriously both these guys take it.

02:23Oh, and a big right hand there by Macklin.

02:26Macklin, you can see his left hand taped up, sustained a broken thumb

02:30and against all odds, teeming with Mike Santana,

02:33one and done as they beat the Rascals.

02:36And Steve Macklin

02:39offering a handshake to Mike Santana at the end of that match,

02:43something I thought I would never see, quite frankly.

02:45Look out! Oh, the elbow off of the apron.

02:50Shades of the TNA legend Mick Foley.

02:55This is what it means to go to Slammiversary

02:58to challenge for the TNA World Title.

03:01We know what that world title meant to Steve Macklin.

03:06Felt it left him far too soon.

03:09And his goal has been always to get right back to that mountaintop.

03:13You better believe he was reminded of that with against all odds

03:16coming up on the calendar a few weeks ago.

03:20Oh, look out! Oh!

03:22Launched by Callaghan on the outside of the ring.

03:26Let's go, Sammy!

03:28And this one getting nasty like we knew it would.

03:33Now the referee issuing the ten count.

03:37I mean, I don't know what happens if neither guy can get to their feet

03:40and get back into the ring here.

03:41We may not have another entrant

03:44into that six way elimination match at Slammiversary.

03:48Count of five applied here by our referee, Frank Gastineau.

03:54Macklin's starting to serve here. Seven!

03:56Count of seven, Macklin and Callaghan.

03:59Slammiversary hangs in the balance.

04:02Count of nine, Macklin and Callaghan both beat the ten count.

04:06The match continues.

04:08Just by the skin of their teeth, they save their title shot.

04:12It's a chance to join a field of six all together,

04:18a six way elimination match for the TNA World Championship at Slammiversary.

04:25Do you think this is tough?

04:26Wait till you see what awaits live in Montreal.

04:30He's, look at this, getting nasty.

04:36Oh, wait a minute.

04:37Oh, the backbreaker by Macklin, tucks the arm.

04:40Here's the cover.

04:41Callaghan gets the right shoulder up in time.

04:44You can never count out Sammy Callaghan.

04:49The man has been to hell and back in and out of the wrestling ring.

04:54What's Macklin got to do to put him away?

04:58Callaghan, who captured his lone TNA World Championship

05:01five years ago in a steel cage match against the Machine Brian Cage.

05:06So evidence of that toughness.

05:09Oh, able to drop Macklin.

05:12Great counter there from Callaghan.

05:14Macklin stays on the offensive until another counter.

05:18Another exploder, this one into the turnbuckle area by Callaghan.

05:25Macklin crumbled right onto his spine there.

05:29Nasty landing, but it bought Callaghan some much needed breathing room.

05:33If you're Moose and you're seeing the way the competition has already played out,

05:37maybe that smile that was all over the face of the franchise

05:41last week is going away.

05:43Could be.

05:44On the other hand, the way these guys are absolutely

05:48destroying themselves on the path to Slammiversary.

05:53I don't know. Maybe I'm smiling even wider.

05:56Oh, raking the back, digging the nails into the skin.

06:03Those hands, Lord knows where they've been.

06:07Nasty death machine.

06:13What is in the mind of Sammy Callaghan here,

06:15Breein, as he drags Steve Macklin up top.

06:20Oh, wait a minute.

06:20Maybe trying to get Macklin up for a cactus driver.

06:23Ninety seven off of the top.

06:25Eric Young thought about that last week against Josh Alexander.

06:29Macklin, though, saw that one coming.

06:32And now Macklin himself scales the rope

06:38with dangerous intentions for Callaghan.

06:43What the hell is Macklin thinking about here?

06:47I'll tell you what he's thinking about, Tom.

06:48He's thinking about Slammiversary.

06:49He's thinking about the TNA World Championship.

06:53Oh, wait a minute.

06:54Up on the shoulders.

06:56On the Death Valley driver off of the top turnbuckle.

07:02And go for the cactus driver.

07:06Ninety seven. Once again,

07:09Macklin's kicked out twice now.

07:14We got to take a look at this again.

07:15First, it was this huge Death Valley driver

07:19off the second rope and immediately followed by the cactus driver.

07:24Ninety seven.

07:25But Tom, somehow Steve Macklin kicked out again.

07:31Early on in the matchup.

07:32Like I said, it looked like Callaghan rushed into the cactus driver.

07:36Ninety seven. Maybe that saved Macklin.

07:37But after that sequence, we're understanding

07:40just how badly Macklin wants a TNA World title shot,

07:44how badly he's willing to fight to get to Slammiversary.

07:48And we've always known how tough Steve Macklin is, but

07:52Callaghan is pushing that to the limit.

07:54Oh, my God. Is he calling for another cactus driver?

07:59Oh, oh, Macklin.

08:02Macklin responding.

08:04Oh, blistering the chest.

08:09Fighting out here in the proverbial no man's land of the apron.

08:15Look at this, hammering away on Callaghan.

08:19Straight headbutts by the Death Machine.

08:23Both these guys incensed here.

08:26Haven't been able to end this matchup.

08:29A shot at a world title match on the line.

08:34And Macklin, another Psycho Knee, has gone to that multiple times in this fight.

08:39And the KIA draping off of the ropes.

08:43Macklin found an opening and he put down Callaghan.

08:48Here is your winner, Steve Macklin.
