Official TNA Lockdown 2008 (4/13/08) Thread

SG, yes... by your results ( along with PWI's )

I'm sorry, but TNA continued doing what I hate with this pay-per-view:

- Curryman, thats all i'm going to say.
( WE WANT DANIELS! )

- The predictable after-match attack on BG, by Kip.
( C'mon. How many times can turn heel on BG during this fued? )

- Sabin & Shelley being fed to... Eric Young!?
( I mean, I like Eric and all... but stop with the "superhero" gimmick. A real tag team should have won this match. MCMG or LAX should've pick up with win here. )

- This boring, stale, drawn out Booker T / Robert Roode fued.
( Hopefully this was the end of it. Faces got the win and more importantly, the female in the match that had just about NO in-ring talent, gets the pin. )

- Lethal Lockdown
( Really? Didn't they learn from the first 2-3 messes, that putting 5 guys in one ring at once only works for a battle royal/royal rumble? )

- Joe's "who cares?" win.
( I'll be honest, now that Joe finally got the title. I just can't wait for Styles or Daniels to get it soon. Please, TNA, you ruined Joe's reign by holding out too long. Please don't do it with Daniels and Styles. )

... just some quick notes. Sounds like Angle/Joe and the Knockout Tag Team Match, were the only good matches on the card.

**EDIT: Triad, Sting wasn't even the NWA/TNA Champion during their fued. It only lasted one month at Slammiversary, where the TNA title debuted. However, Daniels SHOULD have gone over at Slammiversary... but thats TNA for you. Failing to capitalize on a GREAT opportunity.

- Triple S

Oh, by no means did I mean EVERYONE wants Daniels and that nobody like Curryman...

I just personally can't stand the gimmick. Seems like something CHICKARA would produce, which is very minor league. Shame Daniels' awesome mind came up with the gimmick.

But I ( along with many others ) believe Daniels returning and in the main event scene would not only spice up the title picture in TNA, but also help get TNA back on the right track of making stars, not building off of their previous success. Since February of 2007:

- Christian Cage ( Made by the WWE )
- Jeff Jarrett ( Made by the WWE, but i'd consider him TNA made )
- Sting ( Made by WCW )
- Abyss ( Made by TNA )
- Christian Cage
- Kurt Angle ( Made by the WWE )
- Samoa Joe ( Mostly made by ROH, but has a more mainstream fanbase due to TNA )

I mean, for the most part ROH has really made most of TNA's roster. But still, i'd say out of those 6 names above, TNA had only really made 2 of them. Abyss and Samoa Joe. Joe might have been known by the independant scene, but not nationwide until he debuted in TNA. We need more home-grown TNA talent in the main event picture.

- Triple S

Kip James VS BG James - Meh, nothing special about this. Was pretty stale as I expected.

Mixed Tag Match - Sucked other than a couple of decent things between Booker/Rhoode.

Cuffed In the Cage Tag Match - I liked this match a lot, some really sick spots including a C-4 off of the cage and some nice dives.

Womans Tag Match - Pretty good overall, I was pretty impressed with the performence of Shied (sp?).

Queen Of The Cage - I missed most of this match, so I really have no opinions as to how it turned out.

X-Division X-Scape Match - Probably MOTN, a lot of really innovative stuff in the match and I enjoyed it from start-to-finish. I was really pissed that Lethal walked away champion, though. I was hoping Sonjay would FINALLY get his chance to shine as champion or they would atleast have given it to Curryman. I'm sick of seeing Devine and Lethal as champion's. I laughed my ass off at the finish, it was so classic. Lethal getting a full head of steam and doing a huge Tope through the ropes to escape the cage before Devine. Sooo good.

Team Cage VS Team Tomko - This match was pretty good all around. I loved the opening spots that Cage and AJ did. The spot that was probably supposed to the be the "Biggest Spot of the PPV" was pretty lame though. It was just AJ and someone else standing on top of a Ladder which was on the top of the cage and the ladder was tipped over and they crashed through a Table.

Samoa Joe VS Kurt Angle - Meh, I saw 5-10 minutes of this match until deciding to turn off the stream completly. It was just lame UFC/MMA bullcrapand was a huge dissapointment. Was very far from Pro Wrestling and just sucked in every aspect.

Good/Decent - 4
Shitty - 3
Didn't See - 1

Paul M Kelly were you sitting near me? lol I have like the exact same shots as you do. I was Sec 2, Row 3.

Yeah, and that one time was quite enough for me...The whole Team 3-D/X-Division angle and the Feast Or Fired thing just made it seem as if Devine had held it more than one time because of how damn confusing the whole situations were.

By the way, I meant to say Shark Boy instead of Curry Man.

Not to rain on SG's parade, but I feel Joe is only going to be a paper champion.

You would think from WCW mistakes, TNA would know better

So, it's a good thing I didn't order this PPV then?? I seriously cannot remember the last wrestling PPV that I did order. It's been that long. I just don't think they are worth ordering anymore.

War Games says hello.

Yeah, they're called professional wrestlers.
