These are LIVE SPOILERS from TNA’s Spike TV tapings on the road to the Lockdown PPV to be held in St. Louis, Missouri. TNA Management representative Jim Cornette promises a major announcement about Lockdown and the future of TNA during hour one as the Six Sides of Steel was waiting for us as we walked into the Impact Zone. Before we entered the Impact Zone, Bill Banks and Brother Runt were walking through the lines outside interviewing fans and taking photos with children. For people who like her, we were denied a So Cal Val appearance on Impact hour number one. No backstage interviews were shown during the first hour however Kahagas blessed us with his presence. The same cannot be said for Ricky Romeo who injured his knee in the LAX/3D brawl last night.

 

 

Hour one results:

 

Jim Cornette opened the show inside the Six Sides of Steel to announce the main event for Lockdown, a 10 man match in Lethal Lockdown rules. He brought out the team captains: NWA World Heavyweight champion “the Instant Classic” Christian Cage and Kurt Angle. Cornette said they would be able to choose their 4 men between now and the PPV. Cage tried to protest Cornette’s ruling but the TNA theme music played drowning him out.

 

“The Phenomenal” AJ Styles came into the Impact Zone. He had a brace on his neck and left ankle and used a crutch to get down to the ring. He asked the fans and Rhino was the way he looked what he wanted. He said doctors told him his body would never be the same. Styles claimed he wouldn’t have wished this result for Rhino. When Styles told the fans he was unable to wrestle tonight the fans chanted “Thank You Rhino.” Styles wanted Rhino to come to the ring and call Styles’ wife telling him what happened. Styles’ wish was answered and “the War Machine” Rhino came to the ring. Rhino said what made Styles think he hadn’t already called or did he want to be knocked out on more time. Styles said he understood Rhino was trying to help him and he wanted the war to be over. Rhino asked the fans what they wanted and of course the blood thirsty fans said they wanted more. Styles said he understood the fight between Rhino and Christian Cage. Rhino said it was over and shook hands with Styles. Styles went to deck the crutch but Rhino caught it. Too bad he didn’t catch Styles’ boot that kicked Rhino’s crotch into the cage. Styles attacked Rhino but Rhino fought back sending Styles into the cage face first. Just when Rhino got control, Christian Cage hit the ring and then Rhino with a crutch to the neck. Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe hit the ring and Styles hit the bricks. Cage knew what was going to happen so he scaled the fencing and got out.

 

The TNA crew took the cage down in what had to be record time and Jeremy Borash came out with Kevin Nash and his new friend Sonjay Dutt. Nash said Dutt was six weeks of the gas; take that for what you will. It looked like we were going to get “Macho Man” Jay Lethal. Nash and Borash said they would donate $1,000 dollars each to Coaches vs Cancer if Lethal came out. Lethal refused to come out to the ring and his friends. Nash said he produced a song for him to come to the ring with. Lethal finally came out and seemed confused by the new music which seemed “Macho Man” inspired.

 

(1) In a three way match, Jay Lethal defeated Jerry Lynn and Kaz of Serotonin (Frankie “the Future” Kazarian)

 

Kaz jumped Lethal but Lynn rolled him up for two. Just when it looked like Lethal and Lynn were going to work together Lynn got decked by Lethal. Both men took turns trying to beat up Kaz and Lynn got two after a suplex like move. Kaz rolled Lynn up for two but Lethal tried to attack so Kaz hit him with a Northern Lights suplex as he had Lynn pinned. Lethal missed an enziguri and Lynn rolled him up for two. With Lynn down Lethal hit Kaz with a move and got the pin. Sorry I am not sure the name of the move. I am sure that after the match “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels charged the ring and laid all three men out with a baseball bat.

 

 

(2) Alex Shelley and NWA World Tag Team champions Latin American Xchange (“Notorious 187” Homicide and Hotstuff Hernandez w/Konnan & Machete) defeated Team 3D (Brothers Ray, Devon and Runt w/ Johnny Rodz).

 

Being from Detroit, Shelley embraced his thug style and dressed accordingly. Konnan joined Mike Tenay and Don West on commentary during this match. Shelley was going to begin against Devon but smartly tagged in Hernandez. But Devon was ready to fight and hit a Thesz press to throw some right hand punches. Ray tagged but ducked too early for an attempted backdrop and Hernandez kicked him in the shoulder. LAX went to work on a wrapped up left elbow and Ray could only scream in pain. Homicide got too close and was hit with a sidewalk slam. That allowed Runt to tag in and fair well but the fighting went to the floor where Shelley hit Runt with a DVD onto the ring apron. Homicide hit Runt with a chair and then sent him back him back to the ring where Hernandez hit the choke into a throw that sent Runt clear across the ring. All three men hit top rope splashes on Runt but Devon broke up the pin attempt. An LAX double team move backfired and Runt tagged out to Devon who cleared the ring of LAX members. All hell broke out once more and 3D hit Shelley with the Wassup package shot. With LAX out on the floor 3D called for the tables as Machete distracted the referee. 3D hit Shelley with the 3D but Rudy Charles was too busy with Machete and Rodz. As Devon called for the referee to get in the ring, Hernandez slid in from behind and rolled up Devon for the pin. Konnan said LAX had beaten 3D in every match TNA put them in next they were going to take 3D’s legacy. TNA officials had to come out to assist Shelley to the locker room after taking the 3D through the table.

 

NWA World Heavyweight champion “the Instant Classic” Christian Cage and “the Phenomenal” AJ Styles made their way into the Impact Zone. Cage introduced the third member of his team, Abyss. This was weird since Styles and Cage were Abyss’ opponents at the previous two Lockdown PPV’s. I guess Sting felt the same way as he came down to the ringside area. Sting said Abyss was his own team and Abyss was tired of being led around. Sting said the future was there for Abyss’ taking. Cage and Sting began a power struggle over Abyss when Jim Cornette came out. Cornette said next week Styles and Cage would face Sting and Abyss. Sting said why wait let’s do it right now and charged the ring but Styles and Cage bailed.

 

Hour two results:

 

(1) “War Machine” Rhino, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle defeated Serotonin members Kaz, Havok and Martyr (Frankie “the Future” Kazarian, “Hotshot” Johnny Devine and “Maverick” Matt Bentley.)

 

Martyr lost blonde coloring in his hair but kept the face paint. Martyr began against Rhino and didn’t fair well. Angle tagged in and so did Kaz who got hit with a German suplex. Joe tagged in and Kaz tagged in Havok who got hit with a powerslam and several right hand punches. All three members of Serotonin got in to fight but it was Martyr who fell to the Muscle Buster.

 

Team 3D made their way to the ring carrying some luggage. They wasted no time in asking LAX to come to the ring and their request was granted. Ray was wearing a shirt in tribute to Road Warrior Hawk AKA Mike Hegstrand. Ray admitted LAX had their number in recent matches and played as dirty as 3D would have ten years ago. Ray talked about LAX wanting 3D’s legacy which isn’t taken its earned. 3D was going to give them a chance to earn the legacy. In the luggage were the WWE World Tag Team titles, the WCW World Tag team titles and the ECW World Tag Team titles. At Lockdown 3D said they were all in legacy vs. tag team titles. Before 3D left the ring Konnan was rolled out by Machete. Konnan used crutches to enter the ring and face 3D. Konnan said the titles in the ring meant nothing and called his team the TNA Tag Team champions. Konnan wanted an electrified cage match for Lockdown; I think 3D accepted the offer.

 

(2) The Austin Starr defeated “Showtime” Eric Young.

 

The fans were behind Young even as Starr attacked at the bell. Starr hit Young with a corner whip and a dropkick to the face followed by dropping young on the top rope for a back rake. Robert Roode and Ms. Brooks made their way out to watch as Starr missed his elbow drop. Young got on fire as he tossed Starr from one side of the ring to the other. As Brooks got Andrew Thomas’ attention Roode hit Young in the back and set up Starr who won with the brainbuster. After the bell Petey Williams came and got in the face of his former Team Canada partner. Young and Williams were going to shake hands when Roode pulled Young to the floor and then the locker room.

 

(3) Jerry Lynn and “Tennessee Cowboy” James Storm (w/ “the Pride of Tennessee” Jacqueline Moore) was ruled a no contest.

 

Storm and Moore came out for the match but Lynn didn’t come out when his music played. A referee came out and said Jerry Lynn was apparently injured. Storm got the mic saying his two favorite things were drinking beer and beating people up. He was out of beer so he wanted someone to fight him and his request was answered by “Wildcat” Chris Harris. But Gail Kim came out and stopped Harris from getting in the ring. Moore taunted Kim who jumped in and fought Moore as Harris chased Storm to the locker room.

 

(4) NWA World Heavyweight champion “the Instant Classic” Christian Cage and “the Phenomenal” AJ Styles defeated Abyss and Sting.

 

Dave Penzer called this the “Hell Freezes Over” match and I am sure we all agreed with that sentiment. The team of Sting and Abyss never really got on track as Styles and Cage kept Sting isolated from his partner for several minutes. Cage missed a top rope headbutt and this allowed Sting the time needed to tag Abyss as Styles also tagged in. Abyss was in full control of the match as he hit Styles with Shock Treatment but Cage stopped the pin. Styles saved Cage from Shock Treatment but they missed the blind tag and Sting hit a top rope bodyblock on both men. Father James Mitchell came down to ringside with a woman who I am guessing is the mother of Abyss. This left Abyss confused and he ended up following Mitchell and Mom down the rampway. Styles and Cage kept double teaming Sting but all it did was get Sting fired up as he hit both men with the Stinger Splash. Sting locked Styles in the Scorpion Death Lock but Cage got the referee’s attention and “Big Poppa Pump” Scott Steiner came out. Steiner leveled Sting with his trusty pipe and placed Styles on top of Sting for the pinfall.

 

Xplosion matches taped:

 

(1) “Macho Man” Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt defeated World X Division champion “the Future” Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley when Lethal hit Shelley wit ha top rope elbow drop like you know who used to do.

 

(2) The Austin Starr and Robert Roode (w/Ms. Brooks) defeated Senshi and Lance Hoyt when Ms. Brooks got the referee’s attention and Starr hit Hoyt in his package as he was getting ready to hit Roode with a chokeslam. Roode hit Hoyt with a DDT to win.

 

TNA will be taping Impact will be taping three episodes on March 26th before heading on the road.

[Downhome 0]

The mother of Abyss.

 

Well, it was just a matter of time.

 

Ugh.

[Corkscrew_Senton 0]

...Hate...Vince...Russo....so fucking much....

[Silence 0]

More Abyss backstories.

 

[Hawk 34 0]

They still got about 3 more years to reach the convoluted levels of Kane.

[tommytomlin 0]

Aside from the Abyss' mother thing, these sound a lot better than the last tapings.

[qdes 0]

I care too little to even read those spoilers.

[dubq 0]

Well I still like the way LAX always goes over the Dudleys. I really cannot stand the Dudleys. Also - Konnan calling his team the TNA Tag Team Champions? Is this a sign that they're dropping the NWA bit or was that just the way the results were written?

[luke-o 0]

Im guessing they'll crown the winners of the tag team match the new TNA tag champs.

Jim Cornette opened the show inside the Six Sides of Steel to announce the main event for Lockdown, a 10 man match in Lethal Lockdown rules. He brought out the team captains: NWA World Heavyweight champion “the Instant Classic” Christian Cage and Kurt Angle. Cornette said they would be able to choose their 4 men between now and the PPV. Cage tried to protest Cornette’s ruling but the TNA theme music played drowning him out.

 

Hasn't Lethal Lockdown typically been an eight man? It's interesting that their changing it this year. If they put all the top guys in the main event, does that make the second biggest match on the show Harris/Storm? That'd be surprising to me if they put them in that position, though I wouldn't necessarily complain.

 

It looks like there are only two matches on the first show, so maybe, they'll get some time to breathe.

[Zack Malibu 0]

I would think if it's the case, that the LAX/3D match would be booked to be the semi-main.

 

I'm guessing we may also get Petey Williams vs. Bobby Roode in the cage.

[pgi86 0]

Let me see here:

 

Lethal Lockdown

Team 3D/LAX

Petey vs Roode

Harris vs Storm/Harris & Gail vs Storm & Jackie

the usual Xscape match with random X Division guys

Sabin vs Lynn vs Daniels?

VKM vs Hemme`s boys (whoever they might be)?

 

Usually they go for 8 matches so I`m missing one. Any ideas?

[Jacques 0]

Is it just me or is Daniels going to be feuding with Sting after Lockdown? First he came out in a Sting mask and attacked X-Division guys and here he attacked them with a baseball bat.

[Zack Malibu 0]

Daniels vs. Sting would be something different and I'd enjoy it, I just hope they don't go with the whole religious overtones AGAIN.

 

I'm guessing The Bashams could debut at or before Lockdown, unless they're going to do a gauntlet of guys Hemme brings in to put over VKM until The Bashams ultimately beat them.

[pgi86 0]

^ Yeah but wasn`t it reported that the Bashams were going to be brought in only for one shot?

[razazteca 0]

Let me see here:

 

Lethal Lockdown

Team 3D/LAX

Petey vs Roode

Harris vs Storm/Harris & Gail vs Storm & Jackie

the usual Xscape match with random X Division guys

Sabin vs Lynn vs Daniels?

VKM vs Hemme`s boys (whoever they might be)?

 

Usually they go for 8 matches so I`m missing one. Any ideas?

VKM vs Hemme boys in a Kiss-My-Ass-Chapstick-On-A-Pole match and there has to be a movie theme match for the Seretonin something like the Clockwork House of Fun match so Raven can cane everybody again.

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0]

Raven is still under contract?

[razazteca 0]

You say that like he isn't on the booking committee.

[Zack Malibu 0]

I'm guessing that the reason The Bashams didn't come in for the one-shot at Destination X as rumored is because they may be in for more than a one-off deal.

 

I'm also guessing (hoping?) if that's the case that Matt Morgan will be Jim Mitchell's new monster heel.

[cd213 0]

The way I see it is each PPV Christy is going to bring in another Tag Team to go up aganst VKM and loose until maybe she brings in Jericho and Big Show/RVD.

[razazteca 0]

As if she will bring in the Thrillseekers or any big name Canadians from Calgary, Alberta. Too bad all of the buildup looks like exploding scat porn from Brazil.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

I'm guessing that the reason The Bashams didn't come in for the one-shot at Destination X as rumored is because they may be in for more than a one-off deal.

 

I'm also guessing (hoping?) if that's the case that Matt Morgan will be Jim Mitchell's new monster heel.

 

I hope so too. I want to see how Morgan does without that lame stuttering gimmick he was stuck with in WWE.

[cd213 0]

I'm actually really interested in seeing who they bring in to be Mitchell's new monster. I'm thinking that there might be a chance that they will bring in Albert since he is tag champs with Tomko in Japan. I have always been a fan of him seeing as he's not bad for a big guy.

 

And to be honest I also am interested in seeing who comes in as Christy's team to beat VKM.

 

There is a lot of stuff right now in TNA that I'm looking forward to other then that, but there is also some stuff that I am not caring for. For me there is still enough to keep me interested in TNA then there is to have me tune out.

[razazteca 0]

The VKM vs Christy feud boils down to Billy Gunn saying dick jokes and Christy saying how rude.

[cd213 0]

The VKM vs Christy feud boils down to Billy Gunn saying dick jokes and Christy saying how rude.

 

It gives me hope that they will bring in some interesting team, not including The Heart Breakers. I am still hoping for Jericho and Show/RVD, but that's wishful thinking. Maybe even Jericho and Lance Storm.

 

I thought her going off was supposed to lead to a woman's division. Also, am I the only one thinking that once her team wins we will see Christy and her team vs. VKM and a debuting China (Doll)? Actually I don't think it will happen, but you never know.

[TheFranchise 0]

China and VKM would make sense together, yes.

[cd213 0]

With Petey coming out to help EY, does that mean he's the friend that Eric has been talking about recently? Is this going to set up Petey vs Roode for EY's contract with either Petey winning or EY turning on him and staying with Roode saying this was their plan all along?
