The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 I am...but that's not news. One of the things I've liked about Lockdown in the past is that it forces the wrestlers to be a little more creative...since some cage spots will already have been done. As far as I'm concerned...all 3 previous Lockdowns have been fun shows...and I expect this one to be as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 It is imperative that Joe goes over clean and decisive tonight. That Karen Angle crap about her being at the PPV tonight had better be a double swerve, as in we think she is there to swerve SOMEONE but she ends up doing nothing at all. Can they really have Karen run in again and cost Joe the match? They just did that booking recently and it sucked hard then. And having her cost Kurt the match only cheapens Joe's moment.

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Maybe Joe is Karen's new man and he'll turn heel thus killing not only the match but his character right out of the gate. ... Yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eirejmcmahon 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 You are aware of the previous works of Mister Vince Russo, aren't you ? Even with that said, there's no calculating how dumb you'd have to be to script anything other than a clean win for Joe in this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 I wish they still did preshow matches. now it's just a half hour of nothing I haven't seen before. ...although with the way they crammed everyone on this card the match would have to be like...Elix Skipper vs. ... ... ...poor Elix...

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 He's still on the roster page...but I doubt they'd bother having him under contract. Unless it's still running from a previous one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 I should say it's amazing to me that they couldn't work him into the XScape match. The guy has the most memorable spot in the history of the company...that happened...in...a...cage... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scroby 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 You know, I really love TNA's video packages. They're always put together well. Ok so what's the deal with all the Irish stuff for the pay per view? A lot of green. It seems like they were heading for some kind of irish theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 I got pretty pumped during the Angle/Joe package. Of course now I probably get to watch it again because I think they run the same 15 minutes twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Oh...you know why they should have had Skipper in the XScape match? Becuase they could have had spots where he and Curry Man worked together and then Don West could have said "These two guys work remarkably well together" or something. I'd have popped for it.

RedJed 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 I'll definately be ordering tonight, mind you with a sack of herbage and Bongzilla by my side.... The card seems more stacked than any TNA ppv in a long time, AND the build for most of the card has been better than I've seen since BFG of last year. Joe/Angle has been the best TNA main event build EASILY since Raven/Jarrett. Every single week of build for this has been tremendous. Some have already mentioned it, but I'm thinking a Nash heel turn to cost Team Cage the match is definately in order. Nash's persona is borderline heel already, so they might as well go full tilt with it and even up the heel side a bit, especially if Styles probably goes face pretty soon (as well at Tomko maybe?) Sounds like TNA has almost legitimately sold out this arena tonight, so that should make for a hot crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which would make one hope that they understand screwing up the Angle/Joe match would kill the town. Don't kill towns that like you. Kill Orlando because they don't pay. Actually...don't kill any town...but if you absolutely have to...do it in Orlando. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scroby 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Is TNA starting to use the "You walked in and shot straight to the main event!" thing? I just noticed it was mentioned during the Joe/Angle package and the Booker T/Roode package. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 I'll be in the chat room to see if anyone else cares enough to do the same. I'll look around and post what I can find in there. This could be a great show or an absolute failure, and it all depends on very simple booking decisions. I guess it just depends on what mood the kooks are in tonight.

fazzle 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 For the first time in....years, probably, I'm actually interested in a TNA show. But I still don't buy Joe winning the title for a second.

A lot of green. It seems like they were heading for some kind of irish theme. I was wondering about that when the first PPV commercial aired a while back.
