Figured I would throw a thread up seeing as the show is a week away and this forum has been dead for the past week. I haven't been extremely into TNA lately, so I guess the big news items would be: Danny Bonaduce vs Eric Young is on for the pre-show. They may be using a song that is around a decade old as a theme, but card is decent so far, with some solid build-up according to the next batch of spoilers. Lockdown was probably regarded as one of, if not the best TNA PPV of 2008. Can this year match up? Card to date, as made available on TNA website, is as follows: SIX SIDES OF STEEL: MAIN EVENT FOR THE TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Hardcore Legend Mick Foley vs. © "The Icon" Sting SIX SIDES OF STEEL: THE RETURN OF THE LETHAL LOCKDOWN Team Angle (Kurt Angle, Booker T, Scott Steiner & Kevin Nash) vs. Team Jarrett (Jeff Jarrett, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe & ???) SIX SIDES OF STEEL: WORLD TAG TEAM DOMINATION - TITLE VS. TITLE Team 3D vs. © Beer Money, Inc X DIVISION XSCAPE MATCH FOR THE X CHAMPIONSHIP Black Machismo vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir vs. Consequences Creed vs. Kiyoshi vs. © Suicide TNA KNOCKOUTS WOMENS CHAMPIONSHIP Taylor Wilde vs. Angelina Love vs. © Awesome Kong QUEEN OF THE CAGE MATCH ODB vs. Madison Rayne vs. Daffney vs. Sojo Bolt NEW JAPAN JR. TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH The Latin American Xchange vs. No Limit vs. © The Motor City Machineguns

I never was a big Lashley hater. I had been wondering when he would show up and this is a nice surprise, given I thought he was done with pro-wrestling seeing I was seeing MMA articles about him as headline news on Yahoo recently. I just don't know about Foley. I used to be such a huge Foley mark and in the past few years, just got tired of him. Granted, I think he has been more entertaining in TNA than he was in the last stretch in E, but legend or not, given the talent roster in TNA, the guy holding there top belt is not only a guy that came over from the other guys not too long ago, but he was a color commentator for the other guys. Just doesn't seem right, but I guess I will wait and see where this goes.

Hmmm... as much as the name Naked Brothers Band makes me question those in charge at Nickelodeon today, I will have to check this out. "Promised Land" made me laugh because I downloaded it for free not knowing what it was. When I was one of the 14 people to see The Rocker, I sat there trying to figure out how I knew that song and it hit me, the song by Will Arnett's band was on Rock Band.

Just got around to playing this. Despite not doing to well with the controls and getting a little frustrated in some match-ups, I'm enjoying it. Probably solely because I am playing as comic characters that aren't likely to get a solo game. The one thing I do have to say is I had pre-ordered the collector's edition way back before even all details were announced and I don't really like the packaging. There is some cool stuff inside but the packaging just feels rather cheap to me, which it didn't seem that way on the outside.

I finally have had time to catch up on my games, so I popped in this. I did the ReelViewer thing just to get the couple achievement points on it, but I couldn't find anywhere to delete the one I downloaded. I rather not take up space on my hard drive with it, anyone know if there is a way to get rid of it that I am missing?

So, I am guessing this is the thread the throw this in, but I just picked up Front Office Manager off a clearance rack for $20 bucks. I didn't open it yet because I feel the game most likely will drop cheaper some point in the near future, but am still kind of interested in just jumping in. Thoughts anybody?

I downloaded a bunch of new songs the other day. I saw a free one and downloaded it and it turned out it was from one of the kids on Nickelodeon. Oh well, it pops up in a game it should be an easy score with my limited talent at this game.

Oh, no worries. I understand why a lot of people don't have faith in the show anymore. I was just throwing in my opinion to try to spark up some discussion.

Not surprised to see 17 Again on top. I guess people are getting down on Statham as I know I haven't heard great things on his past few. I saw a preview for Crank 2 on a Blu-ray I was watching the other day and it seemed pretty cheesy, but I still have the first one on my "to watch" list, so I can't fairly judge.

While the show is not anywhere near as good as it was in periods in the early days and early 90s, I think it has potential to get better these days. I think right now has the best cast and stuff that the show has probably had in the past decade. The early 2000s it got very unwatchable, now it can be hit or miss. There are somethings that have potential too, which I don't know how to change. I know I was watching the Seth Rogen show a couple weeks back and there was one sketch which was a great concept, but then after the concept, they just didn't know where to go with it. I was talking to some of my friends that said the same thing. I really like some of the people on the show, but out of the past four additions two of the four cast additions seem good (Elliot, Wilson) and the other two (Moynihan and Watkins) kind of make you wonder how they got on.

Yeah, I was disappointed. I would figure that theme would be stock music, so I don't know the rules or anything on that. I still need to check out the Bushwhackers and Earthquake. For some reason all the downloads took so long for me, I was Smackdowned out by the time I got a chance to get everyone. Just tried out a couple and moved on.

So I got the DLC 2 pack. Only used Doink and Vader so far. Was worried at first because Doink had no music or video, but when I used Vader he had his WWE music and video. Haven't tried the others yet. Nice little add-on for a few bucks IMO. Plus, there is a free update to use the DLC online, so maybe that means they are working on transporting them into the Legends game.

I think I'm going to start proving to people I am not wearing a wire in the same fashion Dwight did.

Tazz has released his departing comments:

Taz's has posted his Facebook message like he promised. I post it here because I say it is clear that once his break is done, he plans on coming to TNA in a non-in ring role. Unless he is pulling a Jericho...

Just saw the pics too... link is http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/sdvsraw09/dlcgallery2/ It says that this is available on both PSN and Xbox Live on Thursday (tomorrow).

I believe what Bonaduce said was Dixie Carter told him she wanted to put him on the pre-show to try and draw people into ordering the Pay-Per-View and he didn't mind because his main goal wasn't to have a big national media thing, he was moreso looking for attention locally in Philly.

I'm liking the match-ups if they can stay where they were when I last looked at the standings. In the East, I haven't seen much of them this year, but I am thinking the team that everyone would want in the first round out of the teams that are in right now would be Philly. I know Detroit isn't the same, but I still wouldn't want to run into them in a series. I really think that Hawks/Heat could be a fun little series too, and interesting to see which one of those goes on to Round 2. I am sure the league marketing department is pushing for James vs. Wade, but I'd like to see the Hawks move along this year. I usually root for the Celtics and the Suns, but seeing no Suns this year, the team I'd like to see do well in the West is Portland. Just because I like the guys on that team.

That's true. I've just been so bored with Tazz in recent years, I just kinda forgot about him. I've heard a few things about maybe TNA before, but what role would he take? I think I remember him saying he wasn't planning on getting back in the ring. Would they throw him in with Tenay and West? They already have too manny authority figures and I couldn't really see him managing anyone. You are probably right though. It's probably someone who held a World Tag title somewhere. Ken(ny Dykstra) Doane should be just about ready...

I know, this is fairly common knowledge. I'm just astounded he's going to talk about it openly on ESPN That's what I was thinking. I've heard it before, but I don't think there has ever been anything as in depth as this ESPN one is supposedly going to be. Same with Benoit. I don't think he has publicly even acknowledged Benoit to my recollection since it was confirmed Benoit was responsible for the deaths. I set my DVR up last night because I am curious. Same with the creative meeting and backstage segments, even if they are short, it is just something that hasn't really been seen much before.

Found this on the news portion of IMDB:

This Tuesday at 7:00 PM on ESPN, Vince McMahon is going to the guest on E:60. He is supposed to talk about being abused in his childhood as well as openly and "frankly" discussing the Chris Benoit incident from 2007, as well as including Stephanie McMahon taking the interviewers on a backstage tour showing all kinds of wrestlers behind the scenes. The cameras were also said to be allowed in a creative meeting.

Taken from Rajah: Any ideas? I don't remember hearing of anyone coming soon...

I thought I had read most of this thread and don't think I saw it mentioned anywhere, but I was reading a recap of JR's blog and he made an apology about a comment he made about Heath Ledger during Rey's entrance. He apologized for offending anyone saying he didn't mean it, he was just so overwhelmed during the show and stumbled and said something he shouldn't have. I hadn't heard anything about this until then. Can anyone fill me in on what he said?

I don't get on my X-box a lot these days, but I got on last weekend to play and had seen the DLC was finally available. I had been saving points for the DLC since like December so I purchased it and it acknowledged my purchase but wouldn't download. It gave me some error message and said it would attempt later. Haven't been back on since, so we will see how it goes. As for DLC 2, I am always for more people. When I was searching to see if I could find pics or anything, I saw things with people complaining. I'd like these characters, I'm just doubting I will ever see them for my X-box.
