Well, I just put in an order for tickets for myself and Plague. Therefore, I actually have a higher level of interest in this show than I would in the usual 2008 TNA pay-per-view. So let's hope we luck out and get a solid show.

I'll post card updates and the like as the show moves closer.

I'll make sure to follow TNA better these following weeks.

Yeah, for once, I'm going to actually care what goes down on Destination X.

First match announced for Lockdown:


TNA World Championship:
Kurt Angle © vs. Samoa Joe

Oooooo...

It'll be a good time. If Joe wins, I'll mark out like a five year old and be on cloud nine the entire way home.

If Joe loses (which is the more likely scenario) I'll rant about it endlessly the entire way home. You'll be in for a long car ride, Viceroy.

Just keep in mind that either way.....it means nothing.

It'll probably get the Dusty Finish anyhow

Joe will lose after his mother, grandmother, and wife run in and betray him.

No - that's been done already. They real swerve is when you betray him and he loses the match. And then we'll be driving home and you'll be saying, "Dammit! I cost Joe the title! What did I do?! What happened in Munich? Who did I kill?"

:lol:

Rumor has it that Sting will be making his return at Lockdown. You will keep us posted, won't you?

Yeah.

The rumored Lethal Lockdown participants:

Team Tomko
Tomko, AJ Styles, Team 3D, and Johnny Devine

Team Cage
Christian Cage, Kevin Nash, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, and Sting


Also, Xscape match:

Jay Lethal vs. Curry Man vs. TBD

Curry Man for X-Division champion!

I was liking Lethal as champ (when Team 3D wasn't busy hanging on to the title belt) but I could live with Curry Man as X Division Champion.

If Curry Man wins the X title, and then Samoa Joe wins the World title, then Virus and I will both go home happy... to seperate homes.

yeah... sure Rowe. Anything you say, man.

I've gone home happy to a seperate home before. Doesn't mean I didn't make a pit stop along the way and do some serious fucking first though.

Yeah, most hookers charge extra for house calls, right?


Also, I'd be crazy if I didn't mention the Ebay ad advertising The Simpsons Wrestling game for the Playstation right now on da site.

I read excerpts from an interview Kurt Angle did. He said his match with Samoa Joe at Lockdown was going to be mixed MMA.

It looks like Angle finally talked TNA into letting him do his MMA job in a TNA ring. I wasn't a big Angle fan before and I am even less so now. No matter how you look at it, a true MMA match does not pull punches. It has no business in the wrestling ring.

I understand that Angle is scheduled for a real MMA fight later in the year. Chuck Liddel thinks Angle has a screw lose and I agree. Maybe if he gets the crap kicked out of him in an a true MMA match he wil shut up about MMA and concentrate on wrestling for a change.

Okay, now that I have that out of my system...

Great, sounds like Angle is off the wagon again.


Anyhow, here's the updated Lockdown card (spoiler tags because some of this will be revealed on Impact next week).

Lockdown:
* Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe for the TNA Title
* Tomko, AJ Styles, & Team 3D vs. Christian Cage, Kevin Nash, Sting, & Rhino in a Lethal Lockdown Match
* Awesome Kong & Raeesa Saied vs. Gail Kim & ODB
* Jay Lethal vs. Curry Man vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. TBD vs. TBD in a X-Division Title Xscape Match
* Booker T & Sharmell vs. Robert Roode & Payton Banks
* Kip James vs. BG James

I really hope Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin are added to the X title match. I'll be really pissed if I miss out on seeing them just because TNA is grumpy that they won't blade.

'Ya know, I like Curry Man as much as the next guy... but its a damn shame Christopher Daniels is gone.

That guy was awesome.

The first time I saw Daniels in the ring I thought he was going to be a really stiff wrestler. He wasn't that way at all. He can be very impressive in matches but TNA kept moving him around and acted like they couldn't make up their minds about what to do with him.

If they had just kept the X Division active, Daniels would still be working as Christopher Daniels. The way the live audience has taken to Curry Man, I wonder how long they will keep him as that character?

Does it even matter anymore?

Daniels hasn't done anything remotely worthwhile in quite sometime.

His tag team with AJ Styles was really his last awesome work with anyone.

Yeah, I think I'm forced to agree with that. I was enjoying his new character in ROH, right before he left. He was cutting some excellent promos against the more ROHbotish fans and had a really good final match against Erick Stevens at Good Times, Great Memories.

No Abyss makes Plague pissed.

Has anyone heard when he is coming back? The rumors are that there will be no more Abyss, only Chris Parks minus mask.

Since Father James Mitchell has also gone on vacation, I wonder if they will bring them back about the same time?

Ewww. Abyss minus the mask is not a pretty sight.

If he's planning on continuing with tacks and broken glass, he may be sorry he's giving up the mask. His face will be destroyed without the protection.

Well, anything would be an improvement.

I am terrible at predictions. I prefer an I Want list :P

Samoa Joe

Team Cage

Sonjay Dutt

Booker T & Sharmell

Kip James

Gail Kim & ODB (how is Raisha Saeed going to wrestle in that oufit?)

Roxxi Laveaux

Everyone will say I can't be right because I pick too many faces and not enough heels.

I don't care.

That's who I want to win.

There's nothing wrong about enjoying faces more than heels, if that's how you roll.

I'll still be pretty upset if the MCMG's and LAX aren't added soon.

Have you noticed that every time LAX or MMG gets a push they suddenly end up back in the locker room?

These are the best tag teams they have.

Yeah, it seems like there's always a good excuse from TNA not to push the people I like.

"MCMG's don't want to mutilate their faces by blading, now we'll show them!"


I'd like to think they'll at least be in dark matches :( .

I don't recall Shelley or Sabin doing a lot of bleeding anywhere they have been but, then again, they take risks that other wrestlers do not.

X-DIVISION! You don't need to bleed, you need to sprout wings and fly!

Maybe they'll add something with the Monsters Rock and MSMG, LAX and Super Eric/Eric Young.

:lol:

I can't help it. As funny as Eric Young may be, I do have trouble seeing him as a serious wrestler, even in Super Hero garb.

Eric Young and Robert Roode are the two most overrated stars TNA has. Every wrestler ever interviewed always seems to say "That Bobby Roode, yeah, he's money, he's going to be a big star in this business." I just don't see it. And Young was playing a one-note, relatively amusing comedy character and smarks across the internet were professing their love for his "Three dimensional, complex character."

Both were fine in their Team Canada roles, but damn have they been boring as hell ever since. Especially Roode, where all of his feuds seem to drag on about three months longer than they should have.
