Saw TNA When I Was Bored And Saw Somethin Odd...

[Volare]

Apparently "Miss Jackie" as she was known in WWE/WWF is going up against Gail Kim in a damn cage match at Lockdown.

The other messed up thing is that Team 3D is going for the tag titles against LAX in a ELECTRIFIED STEEL CAGE....


wtf is up with this gimmic crap lol

Comments please.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Lockdown is a PPV that consist entirely of cage matches, that should tell you all you need to know about the creative direction of TNA.

[Theo Dious]

SIX SIDES OF STEEL!!!

Yeah, I'm getting sick of hearing that too.

[Chavo Classic]

I dunno. One of my favourite all time cages matches between AMW and XXX happened at Lockdown... although that was a good few years ago.

[Chavo Classic]

Besides, Lockdown is no more a gimmick PPV than One Night Stand or December to Dismember. When compared with the latter, you at least know you'll get more than three decent wrestlers on the card and a show that lasts more than 2.25 hours.

[The Show Off]

I dunno. One of my favourite all time cages matches between AMW and XXX happened at Lockdown... although that was a good few years ago.

That was at Turning Point.

[Chavo Classic]

That was at Turning Point.

What? Oh, fuck Lockdown then

[The One]

Yeah, Lockdown is a pathedic gimmick PPV, and yet, it boasts some of TNA's highest PPV buys. Sheeple are stupid.

[Volare]

I found out some more about the Team 3D match vs LAX...the elctrified cage is gonna be zapped with about 10,000 volts or somethin...so someone is gonna die I guess :shifty:

[Alf Email]

One of the main things wrong with TNA is they always feel the need to go with these gimmick matches and go lengths to be different but not plain wrestling.

[Destor]

Lockdown is a pretty hot idea. It's like their Royal Rumble.

[Alf Email]

No, not when EVERY MATCH on the PPV is a cage match. The Royal Rumble is one big match. It's different.

[Destor]

Not really, an event relying on the back of a gimmick. Just like War Games back in the day. They just take it to the EXTREAM.

[Destor]

Which works for TNADD fans.

[MLW]

No, not when EVERY MATCH on the PPV is a cage match. The Royal Rumble is one big match. It's different.

The Royal Rumble is also a PPV???

[Alf Email]

As much as I love the Royal Rumble, I wouldn't want to see every match on the PPV be a battle royal. Come on.

[311]

God I fucking hate TNA.

[Destor]

But people do want to see every match in cage. Again the comparison was them building an anual PPV on the back of a gimmick. It's no different than the Rumble, World War 3 (which is probably the most accurate comparison due to the other rings being an active part of the show,) or War Games. It's no different though. The same thing with different execution. And it works.

[Destor]

God I fucking hate TNA.there's something we can agree on.

I see the comparison and I guess it does work for TNA sheep.

[Crossrine]

You think an electrified cage is bad? Compared to some other shit it's nothing. WSX aside, remember the electric chair match in WCW? Where Abdullah the Butcher was strapped in, and he started shaking like crazy and fireworks shot all over the place. Why do all these fucking federations think their "electric" match will work?

[Vastardikai]

Come on, the Chamber of Horrors match ruled! :shifty:

The best part was Cactus' intro, where he came down wielding a chain saw. (I'm not kidding.)

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lockdown worked in 2005. It really did. It was a success, and the matches weren't bad, either. There was the Chris Candido accident, but that was an unfortunate accident.

Last year, the show was mostly good, but there were some matches that didn't need to be in a cage, and I remember thinking that they would have been better off raising the cage for some of them. Just a few.

The people who bitch about every match being inside Six Sides of Steel are just bitching because they don't like the idea, in theory. I can guarantee most of them have not seen it in practice. TNA has actually pulled off good Lockdown events both times they've tried it.

By the way, it's not Miss Jackie facing Gail Kim, it's going to be Jackie Moore (Jacqueline in the WWE). She's a little more competent.

Am I the only one hoping that The LAX retain the NWA Tag Team Championship in their match when the Latino Nation buries under the fence surrounding the ring, and beat-down Team 3D as a group? :shifty:

I'm still waiting for Brother Ray and Devon to bring out a bunch of jobbers which they claim are their "Brothers". The Latino Nation vs. The Brothers Dudley would be a hilarious brawl.

[I'mNotOscar]

There gonna be another arm wrestling match in that fucking cage?

[owenbrown]

Yeah, Lockdown is a pathedic gimmick PPV, and yet, it boasts some of TNA's highest PPV buys. Sheeple are stupid.

Can someone do a lyrics knockoff of Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People" called "TNA Sheeple"? :shifty:

[6to1]

well if that is what the fans want, i like that tna gives it's fans what they want, unlike the other guys who gives us trump.

[BigDaddyCool]

So, let me get this straigh, TNA fans are a blotch on all of humanity?

[Mercury Bullet]

I side with Alienoid, being that Lockdown isn't really all that bad. TNA is an easy target to rip into about stupid gimmick matches, and while the electrified cage match might be a bit retarted the rest of the show, theoretically is fine. It's just a PPV where all matches are cage matches and really it's not all that absurd or ridiculous. A cage match is not something too obscure or 'out there', and soome good matches have happened in cages.

[Mercury Bullet]

No, you aren't. That would be priceless.

[Inadequacy]

I've got my fingers crossed TNA does an electrified grizzly bear inferno piranha dunk tank match sometime...





...on a pole

[Kane Knight]

well if that is what the fans want, i like that tna gives it's fans what they want, unlike the other guys who gives us trump.

Let's see.

Week after week, WWE gets a larger rating on two programs. Their PPV got not only the attention of wrestling fans, but also mainstream attention. In part, and mostly, because of Trump.

Yeah, I guess giving the fans what they want is great...And they can continue to do it in the micky mouse leagues. They can't seem to draw in a larger fanbase, they can't seem to please anyone but the "at least it's not WWE" crowd and the "I'll drop you for WWE given half a chance" crowd.

Meanwhile, when WWE comes up with an All HitC PPV, or a PPV where every match is a Royal Rumble, or every match is a "Money in the Bank" ladder match, we'll talk, folks. This is lame. It's bad enough when a company devalues a match by using it frequently, but this just takes that a step further.

[The One]

...when WWE comes up with an All HitC PPV...

No Way Out 2008.

Of course by that point WWE will have gotten rid of every single actual wrestler other than Cena and Lashley and replaced them with not quite A-list celebs. It will be like Celebrity Boxing...only in HELL IN THE CELL! :mad:

^Khali will still be in the WWE. Three way title unification match, Cena (WWE) vs. Khali (WHC) vs. Lashley (ECW). The match would end in a time limit draw, upon which a three-way brawl would ensue that will last all eternity.

[The One]

Pssh! Khali would eat both of them before the match could reach the minute thirty mark.

[Mercury Bullet]

I think if he could Cena isolated early, he could, but Cena and Lashley could double-team Khali to a stalemate.

[The One]

Lashley would just be smilling and doing his hugging himself pose over in the corner, while Cena keeps running around doing one of his dozen taunts that make no sense, all the while Khali would just be scream/growling while he ate the front few rows of fans beore finally at around the 1:28 time focusing on Cena and then Lashley, as previously mentioned, both would be completely digested by 1:30.

[The One]

Meanwhile JR would be screaming for Stunners and BarBeQue sauce!

Fantastic post. :y:

Honestly can't think of anything to add, that pretty much sums it up. Oh, and fuck TNA.

[Sting Fan]

I dont see how it is so very different to Survivor Series TBH.

Its just a gimmick to make the PPV a bit different.

They kinda did that a few weeks back... The Latino Nation was beating on them but then a bunch of random black guys came out and started fighting them and the announcers were all like "It's Brother Devon's Brothers! The Brothers from the streets of Brooklyn!"-"THIS IS BIZARRE!"
