March 10, 201312 yr comment_5538422 I have stopped even reading their spoilers. Is Robbie E vs. Robbie T for the right to keep the name Robbie? If not, I am disappointed.
March 10, 201312 yr comment_5538429 **Angle/Brisco is in a Cage. Also Roode almost left the company. But did re-sign.
March 11, 201312 yr Author comment_5538433 *Kenny King vs. Christian York vs. Zema Ion for the X Division Title - Fun match live but zero selling or psychology. Holy shit, I thought Kenny King was dead when he failed to get a full rotation on his dive outside.
March 11, 201312 yr comment_5538435 This should been a 4-way with Larry Zbyszko stalling during the acrobatics, breaking up pins, savant kicking motherfuckers, and stealing the pin from Kenny King.
March 11, 201312 yr comment_5538437 I am curious to hear how well Park and Ryans got over the main story of match to the crowd that the announcers were selling. Park having to deal with sight issues from baby oil.
March 11, 201312 yr Author comment_5538438 *Joseph Park vs. Joey Ryan - A nothing match revolving around Ryan's slimy character and Parks rookie gimmick. Live, this match was over and the people reacted to both guys.
March 11, 201312 yr Author comment_5538439 *Velvet Sky vs. Gail Kim for the Knockout’s Title - This might be the best woman's match I have seen live which isn't saying much because I have seen nothing but shitty women's matches. No obviously botched spots live and some nasty spots that kept the crowd awake.
March 11, 201312 yr Author comment_5538441 *Robbie E vs. Robbie T - Bad idea doing a small guy vs. big guy comedy match after the Park match. That match got over with the live crowd. This one didn't. Crowd shit on it and popped when it w over.
March 11, 201312 yr comment_5538444 *Robbie E vs. Robbie T - Bad idea doing a small guy vs. big guy comedy match after the Park match. That match got over with the live crowd. This one didn't. Crowd shit on it and popped when it w over. I wish Bad Influence/Roode & Aries was a straight tag. Could be a MOTY. Maybe Hernandez will join Aces so they have 1 worker I like.
March 11, 201312 yr Author comment_5538445 *Bobby Roode & Austin Aries vs. Kazarian & Christopher Daniels vs. Chavo Guerrero & Hernandez for the Tag Titles - Really strong match live due to Chavo being insanely over live. The crowd went nuts for the Ten Amigos. I have never seen Hernandez get such a huge reaction when he made the hot tag. Nobody botched anything and they kept me interested through out. Thumbs up live.
March 11, 201312 yr Author comment_5538446 If there is any noise during this match itis because there is a Macho Man look alike getting the crowd riled up... Until this LetsGo Angle chant started.
March 11, 201312 yr Author comment_5538448 *Kurt Angle vs. Wes Brisco - inoffensive cage match with some good spots until the finish nobody wanted to see.
March 11, 201312 yr comment_5538453 Why do they keep jobbing out the big guys like Knox and Doc when Anderson is right there and bland as hell?
March 11, 201312 yr Author comment_5538454 Team TNA (Sting & Samoa Joe & James Storm & Magnus & Eric Young) vs. Aces and Eights (Devon & Doc & Knox & Mr. Anderson & Garret Bischoff) in a Lethal Lockdown Match - This sucked live. No blood. Little violence until Sting brought the garbage. Really boring until the big ending. I thought Aces and Eights were going to win so at least they booked the finish right.
March 11, 201312 yr comment_5538459 From Meltzer's coverage: Believe me, Kurt had had far worse matches on big shows with guys with a lot more big match experience. I cant be the only one who thought that was a shot at Mark Henry, right?
March 11, 201312 yr Author comment_5538464 Jeff Hardy vs. Bully Ray in a Steel Cage Match for the TNA Title - And TNA doesn't let us down. They get the biggest crowd they have ever had in the US and make sure that they will never have that many people here ever again. The match was shit but if one of them would have won clean or relatively clean, most people would have been content. The mood in the building was complete silence whatthefuckery. I have no idea what Bully Ray was telling the Hogans because TNA has horrible audio in the arena. I have never been to a show where Russo booked the ending but this felt like Russo to the point I think they secretly hired him back. Oh well, I gave it a shot. I even created a new TNA thread to hype myself up. Never again. Thank god the tickets were free.
March 11, 201312 yr comment_5538467 I actually thought Wes Brisco looked decent in the Angle match. Shitty finish though but that seemed the story of the night with the women's, tag and main event matches all having weak finishes. The X division match was probably the worst x division match I've seen in the short time I been watching TNA. Sloppy as hell and generally just awful. The tag, Park/Ryan and the lethal lockdown all came across as fun matches on tv. Joseph Parks is just brilliant ain't he? It's hard not to love him. The main event was just weird. Bully should have at least done the 'respectful' babyface thing for a while instead of going straight up baddie from the start. Hardy constantly going for the escape was was proper irritating, for me anyway. Throwing out them two aces and 8s blokes for the sake of SWERVE was a bit daft and the ending fell a bit flat. Bully did look like a proper horrible bastard in the end though so job done I guess. But yeah, very Russo like.
March 11, 201312 yr comment_5538468 I reviewed Lockdown with pics here: http://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/tn...results_10.html Overall thoughts: Good show with horrible commentary. Everything was atleast okay and the tag match was very good. Loved the ending. Some shots from the show:
March 11, 201312 yr comment_5538470 I have no idea what Bully Ray was telling the Hogans because TNA has horrible audio in the arena. It was actually a pretty good promo, not quite ECW Bubba, but better than he's done in years. He called Hogan and old bastard a few times, and called Brooke a stupid bitch. And bragged that he got one over on the Hogans. We actually heard a small 'stupid bitch' chant on TV. And said he was the president of Aces and Eights. I wanna know if Will brought a sign that said 'Buy Goodhelmet comps'
March 11, 201312 yr comment_5538472 Meltzer said that they were going for an Hogan joins nWo type reaction. We are almost 17 years removed and people still want to copy the nWo.
