Slammiversary PPV News: Scott Steiner update + possible change to tag
On Sunday, June 17, 2007 at 4:04 PM EST The following statement was issued on TNAwrestling.com:
"TNA Wrestling would like to inform our fans that Scott Steiner will be unable to compete at tonight’s “Slammiversary" Pay-Per-View event.
As many online fans are aware, Steiner was recently injured during the TNA live event in Puerto Rico. The TNA star was kicked in his throat and required emergency surgery to repair his damaged trachea. As a result of the surgery, Steiner could not fly home from Puerto Rico and has been there with his family since.
TNA had hoped to set up alternative travel arrangements for Steiner so he could be in Nashville in time for tonight’s Pay-Per-View. However, we were unable to do so as he is still under doctor’s care in the hospital.
TNA management director Jim Cornette will speak on tonight’s Pay-Per-View regarding the situation."
It appears a change has taken place with the scheduled Rhino & Chris Harris vs. LAX tag team match tonight at Slammiversary. The Wrestling Observer reports that it may instead be Rhino & Senshi vs. LAX, with Harris being pulled from the match for unknown reasons. This match is scheduled to open the PPV, so we'll see what ends up happening.
Don't forget that WrestleView.com will be providing *live* coverage of TNA Slammiversary tonight starting at 8:00pm ET/7:00pm CT on our PPV coverage at this link.
