Steel Cage Match
The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Brian Kendrick & Homicide

The tag teams didn’t waste anytime getting at each other. Shelley and Sabin were dominating at the beginning of the match. Brian Kendrick’s forehead was opened up early on. He kept punching Shelley in the gut as he was put over upside down. Homicide climbed up the cage and won the match. Wow. What a short match. It definitely could have been better with the talent they had in the match.

Steel Cage Match
Kevin Nash vs. Eric Young

I missed the beginning of the Nash vs. Young match. Big Sexy defeated Eric Young. Nuff said.

X Championship Steel Cage Match
Kazarian vs. Shannon Moore & Homicide

This match probably made the best use of the steel cage so far. There were a few highlights of the match. Homicide made the double cutter off of the top rope with Kazarian and Moore on each arm. Homicide was taking on both Kazarian and Moore. Kazarian and Moore fought on top of the top rope. Question…What is Shannon Moore’s gimmick. I know he is into the punk thing, but I’m definitely not feeling it. In the end, Kazarian won the match. However, I wasn’t feeling the match.

TNA World Heavyweight Championship Steel Cage Match
“The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero vs. “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles (c)

Referee Earl Hebner orders Rick Flair to the back and AJ Styles is pissed off about it. This match ended up being 13 minutes long. This was a good match with a lot of good energy from the crowd. Styles worked on Pope’s left knee in the beginning. He attempted a springboard inverted DDT, but Pope countered by slamming AJ against the side of the cage. As the match went on, Styles and Pope had a pretty decent back and forth. Styles nailed a beautiful springboard 450 splash and went for a pin with no success. Styles was shocked.

Lethal Lockdown Steel Cage Match

Team Hogan: Abyss (captain), Jeff Jarrett, Jeff Hardy & Rob Van Dam vs. Team Flair: Sting (captain), Desmond Wolfe, Beer Money (James Storm & Robert Roode)
Roode vs. Abyss.
RVD walks calmly in to the match. Yeah, sure. There’s no urgency. The pace picks  when Van Dam throws Roode into the corner and kicks him in the gut. RVD rolls Roode into a monkey flip and a rolling thunder.

Enter Desmond Wolfe accompanied by Chelsea.
Roode works on RVD. Wolfe works on Abyss. Team Flair seems to have the upper hans. Wolfe and Roode work on RVD. They throw Abyss against the side of the cage.

Jeff Jarrett comes into the match hitting anything that moved. He smashes Roode and Wolfe heads together and then throwing them against the steel cage. Roode counters by catapuling Jarrett against the steel cage. Wolfe attempts to steel the hall of fame ring from Abyss. James Storm walks in looking physically defeated from the opening match. He puts down a beer before entering the cage. He spits alcohol into Abyss’s face to blind him and then goes to work on RVD. Jarrett lifts Roode up and keeps him upside down to let the blood rush to his head before slamming him down.

Jeff Hardy’s Music hits, but he doesn’t appear. Backstage, Sting hovers over Hardys body with a bat in his hand. Jeff Hardy is eliminated.

Sting enters with a baseball bat in hand. The weapons are lowered into the ring.

As the match goes on, there is chaos. Abyss gets some thumbs tacs and tries to chokeslam Sting. He is unsuccessful and Beer Money attack Abyss from behind.

Enter Jeff Hardy. He brings a kendo stick with him and attacks Beer Money, Inc. RVD gets on top of the corner rope and does a frog slash on Desmond Wolfe. Abyss finally chokeslams Sting on the thumb tacs. Hardy climbs to the top of the cage. He challenges Beer Money to climb on top the cage. They climb up and Hardy greets them with a trash can lid. Storm grabs the lid and hits Hardy. They grab a table that is lying around on top of the cage. Hardy kicks Storm in the nuts and continues using the kendo stick. Twist of fate on storm and lays Roode on top of the table. Jeff grabs a ladder, climbs on top, and a swantom bomb on top of Roode.

Rick Flair runs into the match and beats up Abyss. He attempts to steel the hall of fame ring from the hand of Abyss. Hulk Hogan enters into the steel cage with a baseball bat. Eric Bischoff comes in to calm Hogan down. He gives Hogan some bras knuckles and Hogan goes to town on Flair. He opens him up with blood spewing all over him. Flair is furious. He takes of his t-shirt. Hogan gives him a few punches and Flair falls into the thumb tacs. Abyss pins Wolfe. Team Hogan win the match.

This PPV had its good moment. I enjoyed Anderson vs. Angle. However, I will not call this a great PPV. I felt the last match would have been great if Bischoff followed up with a heel turn. I was a little disappointed that Bischoff handed Hogan the brass knuckles and then the match is over. I guess I was expecting a heel turn and creative decided to do something different. Another point that needs to be made is about the amount of blood that was spilled. I guess it was cool during the attitude era. Now its a little bit annoying to see it every single match. Tone it down, please!

Notes:

New York Street Fight
Team 3D & Jesse Neal vs. Syxx Pac, Scott Hall & Kevin Nash

Team 3D and Jesse Neal dominate over “The Band” at the beginning of the match. Neal hits Syxx Pac over the head with a trash can and then grabs a kendo stick to attack Pac with. Brother Devon takes on Scott Hall and Brother Ray takes on Kevin Nash as the crowd chants “tables, tables!” One thing I have to say about Scott Hall in this match. Why is he in sweats? Did he get his wrestling attire from Mick Foley? I’m thinking he could be dressing a little better. Anyway… Syxx Pac is laid out on the table Team 3D has set up. Bubba “The Love Sponge” comes running down the ramp to distract Brother Ray. Syxx Pac climbs up from the table and on to Brother Ray. Brother Ray ends up top of the broken table and Syxx Pac pinning him for the win. After the match, Syxx Pac humps Ray’s face. I would have an opinion on this match if I actually cared.

Eric Young runs down the ramp with a kendo stick. “The Band” runs out the ring. Eric Young challenges Kevin Nash to a cage match at Lockdown.

Shannon Moore vs. Kazarian

This match was pretty much equal. Shannon Moore was looking pretty good in this match. Doug Williams comes down the ramp to join the commentary table with Taz and Mike Tenay. Williams made a few funny comments about Moore and Kazarian’s use of high flying moves.  Shannon Moore flew off the top rope onto Kazarian who was standing ringside. the jump was pretty impressive. In the end, the match concludes in a time limit draw. Williams grabs a mic and rips the two performers. He said that the two were pathetic and that he was going to wipe them out come Lockdown.

I Quit Match
Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky

Velvet Sky turned the Leather and Lace match into a “handcuff Angelina Love I Quit Match”. Velvet Sky beat the crap out of Angelina Love and kept asking her if she would just give up. Love screamed “No!” each time. Tara runs out to save her tag team partner and releases her from her handcuff’s. Love goes to offer her hand in friendship to Tara. A moment goes by before Tara walks away from Love.

TNA Tag Team Championship
The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Matt Morgan (c) & Amazing Red (c)

The start of the match seemed to be in favor of Morgan and Red as Morgan threw Sabin and Shelley off the top rope. The Motor City Machine Guns were pretty much squashed in this match. Reg hit the code red on Chris Sabin and scored a win for the team. Matt Morgan didn’t like that Red had taken the win. It hurt his ego a little bit. Then, Morgan decided to do away with another tag team partner and put the carbon footprint to Red’s face. Maybe Morgan should be his own tag team partner?

Robert Roode vs. Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy took some punishment from Robert Roode as he was thrown into the steel steps. Roode led Hardy back into the ring for a bombs away knee drop from the top rope. Another knee drop to Hardy’s neck. He puts Hardy into a sleeper hold. Hardy hits Roode int he face and kicks him in the face. Hardy comes back. A few cloths lines and then a front suplex. He almost makes the twist of fate, but Roode counters. Hardy comes back again with a stunner. Hardy prepares for the swanton. James Storm tries to interfere. Hardy does the swanton and pins Roode for the win. James Storm attacks Hardy while drinking a beer, after the match. He spits fire into Hardy’s face. RVD runs in to save his partner. Roode attacks RVD from behind and Beer Money, Inc. stands victorious against their rivals. This was a good match, but I guess I am a bias towards Jeff Hardy.

“The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero & “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal vs. AJ Styles (c) (w/Ric Flair) & Desmond Wolfe

Abyss and Lethal are out. Hogan evens the score by taking out Wolfe from behind with a steel chair. The match turns into a one on one with Dinero facing Styles. The match didn’t last very long when Flair gets out of his wheel chair and and hits “The Pope” from behind with the world title. The match is disqualified. Team Flair comes down the ramp to beat up “The Pope” and throw him over the top rope. Hogan shows up and stands around to stare down Team Flair.

Overall, this episode was a bit … blah. Yes. I said it. It had its good moments. It was somewhat entertaining. However, I would have loved to have seen “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero & “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal face AJ Styles & Desmond Wolfe. I felt that TNA fans were cheated out of a good main event.
