Slammiversary is the name given to professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) events held by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in the month of June. This is of historical significance since June 19 is the date of the first TNA event in 2002. It is considered one of TNA's flagship PPV events along with Lockdown and Bound for Glory due to the show celebrating the company's anniversary. Slammiversary is the host of the King of the Mountain Match.
==Major aspects of Slammiversary==
===King of the Mountain===
Slammiversary has become the home of the King of the Mountain Match, a five-man reverse ladder match for TNA's World Heavyweight Championship (TNA or NWA). The match debuted on the June 2, 2004 edition of TNA's weekly Pay-Per-View in Nashville, Tennessee, and has since been featured at Slammiversary since then. The 2010 edition Slammiversary is the first not to have a King of the Mountain Match in the Main Event.
===Authority changes===
On the pre-show to Slammiversary 2005, Larry Zbyszko took the mic and announced that former TNA Director of Authority Dusty Semmler had buckled under the pressure and would be resigning, meaning that Zbyszko would be taking over as interim authority as per his role as a member of the NWA Championship Committee.
In 2006, a much longer developed storyline came to a climax as TNA Management finally announced its long-awaited "new face" with the debut of Jim Cornette at Slammiversary 2006.
