They should have pulled the trigger earlier with Bully Ray when he had all that momentum but I don't think that it is too late for them to do it. If Bully Ray ends up being the Aces and Eights leader it would also be the perfect timing to have him win the title just as he is revealed as leader of the stable. The card is a bit of a let down since TNA are down to just the four PPVs so they have so much more time to build the card.

To be fair I was thinking that too which is why I am sticking to Ray as my prediction to take the title. With this being Lockdown it seems the perfect event for something big like that to happen, also storyline logic says he can then say he dropped ship because of TNA taking him for granted for all these years.

Seeing as I watch Impact every week, this entire PPV seems rushed and it's sad because they had more time to build it. They seriously should have announced a main event weeks ago instead they dragged that shit out and then gave it to Bully who on TV wasn't even in the running for it at first. Jesus, it's pretty thrown together. People thought TNA would be better off holding off these things and advertising them more but their TV programming isn't corresponding with that.

I really do hope Bully walks out with the belt, though.

Don't remind me about the non reasoning behind Bully Ray getting the title shot it was ridiculous at the time that they set up a bracket and then just hand it to someone else. It would have a good payoff in the end if Bully ends up being the leader of Aces and Eights after getting that title shot thanks to Hogan.

It is poor that TNA haven't been able to structure this build properly when they have had two entire months to build and promote this event. The problem in my opinion is that I still believe that TNA value ratings more than PPV buyrates.

Full card added.

Will try and give this a watch even though the undercard specifically is weak as fuck and holds little interest for me.

This feels like most lackluster LockDown in years. Which is weird given the extra month of build. Only really looking forward to BULLY (hopefully) winning the title.

Where did the X-Division Title and Park/Ryan come from?

Doesn't help you 2nd biggest PPV to not have any build to its matches.

Only the X Division three way hold any appeal to me from the latest matches.

I think I'm going to work on a mini-review of this PPV either for late Sunday night or early Monday morning. I know TNA shows usually are lackluster and don't merit much attention, but the PPV's usually interest more people so I'm going to give a shot. I haven't done a review since June and since I'm going to Mania this year, I'm going to try to kickstart people doing reviews again. Usually every live event I go to, I like to write a review of.

I'll be watching this with minimal expectations. Also will be doing a review that will probably be up tomorrow morning.

I still think Bully turns heel and joins Aces&Eights.

Says he used Brooke to get the power that comes with being in the Hogan family

Did look like he almost hurt himself up aganist that guardrail.

Very spot heavy match so far, but enjoyable for what it is.

I thought this started top of the next hour, oh well it's only a shitty undercard anyway.
