Josh Alexander then tells Young that they both owe everything they have to IMPACT Wrestling. Eric Young then accuses him of being a liar and says that at Slammiversary, he is going to open his eyes to the truth. Both men then sign the contract as tensions begin to escalate. Josh Alexander then says that the Eric Young who inspired him as a professional wrestler would be disgusted at the man he’s become. Eric Young then takes a shot at Josh Alexander as all hell breaks loose. Scott D’Amore then takes Deaner off his feet with a left hand but gets blindsided by Eric Young who cracks the VBD flagpole over his back. Violent By Design then tear up the ring, exposing the wooden beams beneath the mat. Eric Young then spikes Josh Alexander with a Piledriver on the exposed wood. Violent By Design stands tall as the final IMPACT Wrestling before Slammiversary goes off the air.
