Even less sense... the match was a singles match to determine the stipulation for a tag match .... on Wednesday? wtf. Isn't Slammiversary their big PPV? why is the PPV setting up matches for TV show, I would think the big "payoff" match would be the final match in the best-of-5, on Slammiversary. seems really dumb
The story behind this is simple and as TNA as ever.

They taped a month and a half worth of TV this past week. So, Wednesday's show was live, and then they taped the next several weeks. That means that anything that happened tonight had to be reflected in the tapings they did, which means results could be leaked by spoilers, and since this was a live, paid show, they didn't want that to happen, I guess?

So, instead of having EC3 vs. Angle on their supposedly BIGGEST SHOW OF THE YEAR, a match that they've been building for months and months and months... they move it to the week after and tape it a week before... so it can be spoiled anyway.

Same thing with the Best of 5 series. They already taped the final match before tonight, but the match type and set-up didn't 'reveal' the winner for Slammiversary tonight. They didn't want to have the match happen on Slammiversary, which would mean whomever wins the belts would be walking around with them during the six future episodes they taped, spoiling the result a few days before.

Now, a sensible person might ask "Why the fuck would you schedule tapings so you couldn't put important, drawing matches on PPV?"

That sensible person wouldn't be in TNA, so the question's moot.
