History

King of the Mountain

Slammiversary is the home of the King of the Mountain match, a five-man reverse ladder match which was previously contested for TNA's World Heavyweight Championship (TNA or the NWA). The match debuted on the June 2, 2004, edition of TNA's weekly pay-per-view in Nashville, Tennessee, and became featured at Slammiversary after that up until the 2010 edition. From 2010 to 2014, the King of the Mountain match was not featured on Slammiversary at all. However, the match made its return in 2015, where the newly announced TNA King of the Mountain Championship was on the line to crown the inaugural champion.
