Slammiversary XV: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

By Jack Pooley / July 3, 2017

5. Strap Match: Ethan Carter III Vs. James Storm

Result: EC3 drills Storm with the Angel's Wings for the win (10:39).

Rating: This was decent enough but didn't really amount to much more than an unremarkable, standard fare strap match. The spot with the handcuffs, which resulted in EC3 getting a thorough tanning, was pretty fun, but the ending was poorly thought-out and didn't play well at all on TV, with the commentary team scrambling to explain to viewers why Storm collapsed.

At least EC3 came away from it looking like a savage heel, and Storm was relatively well protected by Carter's cheating. It should've been better, but it was still fine. 6/10
