[Tapout]

Doesn't look like anything too special. Mystery guy in team MVP is most likely gonna be Willow.

My thoughts on each individual match:

Joe/Magnus: I think this will easily be the best match on the card, the feud's been decent at best so far but I just can't give a fuck about it. This will probably be the only good match on the card except for maybe the 6-man.

Lethal Lockdown: This could be fun but C'MON why did the Bromans get in instead of Bad Influence :hm: Don't even care about MVP's last guy but it'll probably be Willow like Tapout said and that's a fail all in itself. Some Wolves/Aries exchanges would help this a lot.

Angle/EC3: Actually optimistic about this one. It could be alright and the feud hasn't been too bad so far. EC3 has been hilarious since he debuted too, but I don't know how well he could do all serioused. This'll just be a stereotypical Angle cage match more than likely, lots of suplexes and obligatory moonsault on his head.

Madison/Gail: Meh

Gunner/Storm: This is gonna' suck hard. I feel like it's gonna be paced extremely slow and not near as hate-filled as it should be if they would have done this feud any better.

Anderson/Shaw: lolwut? Hope Shaw wins and tries to rape Hemme or something.

6-man: Haven't seen anything of Muta in like 10 years, and I don't even know the other two guys, so I don't know what to expect here. Bad Influence and Sabin should work together very well though so this match could end up being a high point of the PPV.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

Madison Rayne looks like a female Joker. Women's matches are always piss breaks for me.

Gunner/Storm: I love both guys actually. I really hope this is an intense match.

Anderosn/Shaw: I don't know much about this feud, and I honestly have no idea if it's gonna be a decent match or not, but I'm an Anderson fan, so I'll be checking it out.

Team Dixie/Team MVP: Gonna be a fun match I'd imagine.

6 Man Tag: Seeing Bad Influence and Chris Sabin working together is what drew me to this match initially, as soon as I saw Muta's name in there, I knew I had to watch this match. Don't know who the other guys are. Hopefully they're good.

Angle/EC3: I think this will be a fun match. I fully expect Kurt to do an unnecessary moonsault off the cage.

Magnus/Joe: Like Chris, I expect this to be the best match on the card. I'm not entirely educated on the feud, but I like both wrestlers. Both have yet to disappoint.

Overall, I kind of like this card. Not the strongest card they've ever had, but a decent one.

 

[Crippler]

I gotta watch this live cause every match is in a cage and will prob be some type of comedic car crash, hoping the main event has 12 run-ins. Everything else can fuck off

Kurt Angle Not Wrestling At Lockdown

Kurt Angle has announced that he will not be working TNA's Lockdown PPV on Sunday. The storyline reason is that EC3 attacked him on Impact, and now he needs surgery. The truth is that he had the surgery scheduled for after TNA's European tour. It was set before the tour but pushed back so Angle could work through it. It's believed that he will feud with EC3 when he returns.

lack of a moonsult in the first 5 minutes will be upsetting

 

[Chris]

So some changes were made in typical last minute, TNA fashion.

Angle is out like Fab posted, so that match is scratched.

Tigre Uno is now facing Manik with Nakanoue replacing him in the 6-man (but TNA didn't update the image so it still says Tigre).

Storm/Gunner is now a Last Man Standing match. Guess technically they could escape the cage then with the match not ending but that probably won't happen.

 

[Crippler]

wait so it's a last man standing match inside a cage?

 

[Chris]

wait so it's a last man standing match inside a cage?

I assume so because they said every match is in a cage.

 

[Crippler]

Well that's gonna be fantastic

I thought the show was pretty poor. There were some decent matches, but this was just typical TNA shit. Here are my thoughts on each individual match:

6-man was fun. I liked that they let Muta get all his shit in even if he didn't do much in the match other than it. The other two Japanese guys looked good, but the match was paced all weird because they were just trying to do their spots. It was a fun opener though.

Shaw/Anderson was hilarious. First, this Shaw fucker says he's gonna jump from the cage to kill himself because Christy isn't there and the crowd tells him to jump , then Anderson points out that it wouldn't do that job anyway. The ending here was the most hilarious part, man this company is shitty.

EC3's promo was legit the best part of this show. When he announces his open challenge and the crowd starts chanting for Punk "No, you're not hijacking this show." And then Lashley fucking came out of nowhere. I'm not a big fan of the guy, but that's the first time TNA's legit swerved me in such a long time.

Tigre Uno/Manik was better than expected. The ending was fun and Tigre hit some sick capture suplex thing before his flippy finisher.

Gunner/Storm was good but I wanted more hate-filled brawling. It was slow most of the way, which hindered the match but the ending was good. Hopefully this feud is over but I doubt it.

Madison/Gail was meh except for when Madison face-fucks Gail on the cage.

Magnus/Joe was This match was so fucking slow, I swear nothing happened for 15 minutes or however long before the ridiculously dumb finish. Yeah, this company fucking sucks.

Lethal Lockdown was pretty good actually, solid stuff until all 4 guys for each team got in and they had a shitty swerve finish. Highlight was Hardy staying in character and screaming like a morron whenever he got hit with stuff.
