for anyone who wants to watch

DallasGirl50 · Apr 17, 2011

You're nice to offer but I'm multitasking this evening and can't watch anything..only match I would care about is Sting's and I bet he loses.

Cowboy Brian · Apr 17, 2011

Angle v. Jarrett FANTASTIC! Wow that was match of the year quality. Wasn't expecting that out of Jarrett. (The match was fantastic, the booking absolutely IDIOTIC I hate vince russo, don't want to spoil it, but checkout this match on youtube, fantatsic, booking was just facepalm.)

Pope v. Joe, Morgan v. Hernandez both have been good aswell.

Thats nice you gave the link. A friend just reminded me they even had a show tonight. Which is hilarious that I forgot given how hard you've been pimping the show for over a week now.

And yet I still forgot. lol

Cowboy Brian · Apr 17, 2011

Booking disappointing as usual with Vince Russo calling the shots, but in the ring this was the best PPV of the year by far.

TellerMorrow34 · Apr 17, 2011

Bad booking ruins even the best wrestling though. So I'm not upset that I missed it. Piss poor booking always overshadows the wrestling.

zrinkill · Apr 17, 2011

Let me guess.

Jarrett hit someone with a guitar

and Flair bladed.

Booking wasn't terrible outside of the unnecessary outside involvement in the already great Angle-Jarrett match, and Hogan coming down during the RVD-Sting-Anderson match did make sense.

Could've been a ton worse with the rumored no-sense heel turns of Daniels and RVD, thank god neither happened.

RoyTheHammer · Apr 18, 2011

The Championship match between RVD, Anderson, and Sting, and the Lethal Lockdown match between Immortal and Fortune were the only ones i caught.

I thought the championship match was absolutely horrible, but the lethal lockdown match was a match to remember, especially with Styles coming out at the end to help 4 win it. Say what you want about the guy, but he's got the perfect attitude and intensity to fit a main eventer. He got a HUGE pop. He and Daniels are two of the best wrestlers in the business right now, and Robert Roode looked damn good as well. Loved the match, glad Russo didn't seem to screw that one up too badly.

Sick of seeing Hogan and Flair try to get involved in the action and continue to "wrestle" though.. if thats what they think they're doing. Its just sad.

Wasn't the same thing said in last months PPV?

The championship match will be fine storyline wise if they cut promo's that they were all too evenly matched and someone needed the advantage of using the steel pipe Hogan brought down, but honestly it was a decent match up
until the point of having Hogan come down to the ring. It made sense from a storyline stand point, but wish it didn't happen.

Lethal Lockdown the main event was its usual high spot fiesta, it was fantastic. AJ truly is greatness, him, Matt Morgan and Mr.Anderson received the biggest pops of the night. Seems the next direction the company will go in is a Morgan main event push, as he said if he defeated Hernandez he'd be going for the Title.

Review of TNA Lockdown From WZ Reader In Attendance

I walk into the arena and right away see that they are using only half of the arena, (the WWE house show i went to last year used the entire arena and sold it out), And had TWO HOLE SECTIONS roped off that fans weren't allowed to sit in because that is where the cameras were. So really it was like 2/5 of the arena.

Fresh from the only arena in the whole world that serves RC Cola products exclusively .....

The crowd was bigger than Smackdown a couple of months ago ... All of the lower bowl, minus the camera area, and 1/2 of the top bowl were full.

Crowd was unbelievably loud and responsive for just about everything except Hernandez and Morgan. My son was starting to look tired, and I asked him if he was falling asleep on me. His reply was "It is Matt Morgan.". Not good at all, but I agree with him. His offense looks weak and his punches obviously are soft and short. Hernandez needs something different ... His time in AAA did nothing for him. Everytime I saw him on AAA TV he not no crowd pops, and tonight was no different.

Most shocking sight: LOTS of OJ/EY "I Love Tag Teaming" t-shirts in the crowd, and the crowd ate their act up. The shirt is just offensive enough to sell so I see this sticking around for awhile.

Very few Jeff Hardy shirts-I saw maybe five total. Saw more Rey Mysterio shirts than Jeff Hardy shirts.

Angle and Jarrett stole the show, hands down. Monster pop for Angle and great heat for Jarrett. Somehow Angle lived through this. Crowd gave both a good ovation out of respect. Kurt deserves a long vacation after that performance ...

Having to follow Angle/Jarrett was about impossible, but Sting held his own. Hogan got a massive pop, and the crowd was shocked Sting won.

What can be said about the main event other than WOW. Everybody had their working boots on tonight, and the crowd ate it up. Daniels earned a full time contract and full time spot in Fortune. Drop the ROH TV Title and come back full-time. He shined tonight. I think that the crowd really wanted to see the Beer Money entrance, but still ate them up, especially when Storm hit Flair with the beer bottle.

Overall this was the best card in Cincinnati in years. I heard no complaints from anyone in the crowd, and everybody seemed to be having a great time. Merchandise was selling, and everybody was alive.

This sounds more how it looked on PPV, wasn't close to 2/5ths of the arena LOL they showed flashs of the crowd nonstop.

More reviews

Instant Reaction - TNA Lockdown PPV 4/17
By Benjamin Tucker, PWTorch TV specialist

3.5 out of 10

This was my first live TNA PPV. And it was, as my friend Rand put it, "like a bad episode of Thunder." This was really bad, and the cage concept only made matters worse.

Live Notes on the show

- The crowd was hot at first, but died down after Bischoff came out and was pretty dead for most of the rest of the show.

- During several matches when the wrestlers were rammed into the cage, the door opened and had to be re-shut.

- The TNA production team pales in comparison to WWE. They have about half the equipment WWE has for sound and lighting.

- Almost no one sat on the off-camera side of the lower level. Maybe ten people.

The crowd was ridiculously loud almost the entire night, that wasn't canned like WWE uses.

^ different one.

After the show ended, Fortune posed and left together. Bully Ray got up very slowly and had to be carried to the back.
I'd say the building was just about half full. Sections that were seemingly unavailable were starting filling with seats, so there must have been a good walk up. However, several rows of seats from the back of the floor were removed probably due to no sales.

One item that sold quickly was an old school poster with the full lineup, sold for only $5. It was nice, although someone stole mine, so thanks Cincinnati.

I'll have a full live report in by Tuesday.

TNA delivers another dud with Lockdown
By MATT BISHOP - SLAM! Wrestling

Lockdown is supposed to be TNA's second biggest show of the year. Instead, in front of a mostly dead crowd in Cincinnati, TNA delivered a complete dud.

I'm not going to go on other sites since I only use PWInsider for news, but i'm more than confident there are alot more positive reviews out there than negative.

Was a great PPV, and for $35 for those that paid delivered a lot more "bang for your buck" than WM with 1 good match at $55.

I was actually just looking for reviews ....... I have not seen a good one yet ..... the ones you posted were only luke warm at Best .....

This is from your own link.

Randall Brown sent this report.

Just got back from Lockdown. Overall, up until the Angle-Jarrett match, I have to say a lot of the show felt kind of "flat" live. As for the crowd, it actually seemed like there was a lot of older WCW fans there. The biggest entrance pops of the night were for Hogan, Flair, Sting, and Scott Steiner. Even Eric Bischoff's music hitting got a surprisingly big pop.

Sounds like what we have Been telling you for months.
