Angle/Joe part 100 could've been ALOT better if it wasn't for the fact that they thought it was a f***ing MMA match rather than a TRADITIONAL WRESTLING MATCH. YA KNOW!? HEADLOCKS AND ALL THAT!? The first 5-10 minutes were annoying untilt they finally started hitting some actual moves. Keep MMA in the octagon and wrestling in the ring, as much as I DO like MMA, i don't want to see two of the best WRESTLERS compete in a f***ing MMA matchup. It's like asking Kobe Bryant to be a f***ing Wide Reciever just because he runs up and down a court, it's ridiculous! I don't mind SOME MMA influence, you know like... strikes, submissions and stiff kicks here and there but not the majority of a major PPV main event, a wrestling one at that! EITHER WAY, it was an OK match, certainly not everything I wanted it to be, maybe they'll have a rematch on impact with more wrestling than MMA this time around.
ANYWAYS. Good PPV all around. Guess Xscape was the best match of it, followed by Lethal Lockdown. Queen of the Cage was ok, mainly because i hadn't seen anything like that before, as was Road Dogg/Billy Gunn (YES I STILL CALL THEM THAT). Everything else was sorta forgettable though, yet enjoyable.

Hey Aaron, Josh LeBlanc here and I want to give my feedback on tonight's Lockdown PPV. For feedback to my thoughts, email me at breakingtheskin11@yahoo.com!
First and foremost, I am going to touch on Curry Man and Shark Boy. Shark Boy's "Stone Cold" gimmick is actually entertaining, and Curry Man's spot off the top of the cage was a great way to start off the PPV. I liked Consequences Creed but felt like he should had done more in the match. Kind of lame that Sonjay was the first guy eliminated in this match, especially since he is one of the best X-Division wrestlers.
Christian Cage and AJ Style's spot ontop of the Lethal Lockdown was breath-taking. I was leaning forward in my seat, scared for both of them. I actually thought AJ was going off the side of the cage there for a minute. D-Von was bloody, Morgan took a beer bottle to the head, and in the end Rhino hit the Gore for the 1,2,3. Good match and it's nice that TNA put over the good guys here.
Last but not least, Joe VS Angle. Wow. Angle's shoot-fighting style mixed with Joe's brutal clotheslines and leg kicks really set this one off. Angle kept mounting Joe and laying it on thick with the punches, and a few times it felt like you were really watching a MMA fight. The end of the match took the cake, with Angle constantly going for the Angle Lock, and Joe going for the Crippler Crossface, and Joe tripping Angle into the rear-naked choke was just amazing. Joe hitting the superkick followed by a huge Muscle Buster was a great finish and the crowd was really into Joe winning the TNA World Championship. Angle did the job and made Samoa Joe look like a million bucks in the end. THAT'S what professional wrestling is about. TNA's slogan is correct.
TNA is wrestling.
I'd give tonight's PPV 4/5 stars. The women's matches were solid, the X-Division was lacking but decent, the Tag-Team handcuff match was entertaining thank's to Frankie Kazarian's abilities, Lethal Lockdown accomplished it's purpose, and Angle VS Joe was stellar. Great PPV by the guy's over at TNA. I'm interrested in next month's Sacrifice PPV already.

Well first of all it was a good show! I thought the handcuff match was kinda boring except for the moves that Kaz put on and man did Scott Steiner kick some ass early. The X-Division match was ok, would liked to of seen more high flying action but it turned out ok and ended out with a super dive by "The Black Machismo" . Ok now the Queen of the cage...well the concept was kinda cool, i just didn't like how they had to fight into the cage..we couldn't even see most of the action because they were all spread out around the ring but the Voodoo Queen became well..the Queen of the cage! Kip James and BJ James was a waste of air time. ODB/Kim vs Kong /Saeed was good and this Saeed chick can sure wrestle..too bad we couldn't see ODB take the vail/mask off Saeed. Booker T vs Robert Roode looked like all the previous matches except that it ended different, i wonder if Roode will get rid of Payton or just treat her like he did Traci? Lethal Lockdown was crazy insane action, couldn't believe the ladder was on the top of the cage! Angle vs Joe was way different then the past matches only because of the style that they were fighting in. Marcus Davis gets the finger from Kurt too funny..lol. Karen was ever vocal with secuity. In the end it was Joes time !
