TNA LockDown will air Sunday, April 15, 2007 live from the Family Arena in St.
Louis, Missouri. As of this writing about 4,000 tickets have
been sold for the event, making it the largest U.S.
live gate for TNA. The card is stacked
from top to bottom and this is the second pay-per-view in its history to run
outside of either Nashville or Orlando. Here is a preview of the matches for tomorrow
night.
Lethal LockDown
Team Angle
(Capt. Kurt Angle, Samoa
Joe, Rhino, Jeff Jarrett & Sting)
Vs.
Team Cage
(Capt. Christian
Cage, Scott Steiner, Tomko, Abyss & A.J. Styles)
If you were a fan of the old WCW War Games gimmick match,
then this is the closest match we have in the modern era. The only way to win is to have all 10
combatants in the ring at the same time and then you must score a pinfall or
submission to win the match. The man
that gets the win will be the number one contender for the NWA World
Heavyweight Championship at TNA Sacrifice next month. If Christian Cage (current champ) gets the
fall, then he has the next month off from defending the title. So many scenarios can play out in this
one. Here’s what I think the booking in
TNA will do. Kurt Angle will get the win
and get the title shot. He’ll go on to
win the title at Sacrifice and thus set up title matches on either TV or PPV
with the likes of Sting, Jarrett, Rhino and Tomko. The reason he won’t give one to Joe is
because Joe will go through the aforementioned talent like nothing whereas
Angle will struggle to beat them. So at
Bound For Glory 2007 (yeah, until October) we’ll see the pay off match of Samoa
Joe and Kurt Angle. But hopefully this
current feud between Joe and Angle will be better than the first go-round.
Predicted Winners: Team Angle
Electric Cage Match
NWA World Tag Team
Championship
LAX (c) Vs. Team 3-D
My favorite tag team this decade is by the LAX. I just think they have the greatest team
chemistry that I’ve seen in a long while.
And having Konan as the mouthpiece adds to their creditability. Team 3-D will go down as the best tag team in
history based on their popularity and success.
And yes the NWA tag titles are the only championships that elude this
hall of fame team. That’s why I see 3-D
winning the belts this Sunday, thus cementing their legacy as the greatest tag
team of all time.
Predicted Winners: Team 3-D
Xscape Match
X-Division
Championship
Chris Sabin (c) Vs.
Jay Lethal Vs. Sonjay Dutt Vs. Alex Shelley Vs. Shark Boy
This is just going to be a fun match to watch. All five of these guys can go if they are
given the time to do so. And since this
is a 3-hour pay per view, they’ll have a lot of time. I see Sabin retaining on account that none of
the other guys are ready for the X-title.
And that’s a not a knock on their talent by any means.
Predicted Winner: Chris Sabin
Blindfold match
“Wildcat” Chris
Harris Vs. “Cowboy” James Storm
The former America’s
Most Wanted partners will no collide in blindfold match. No I know that blindfold matches have not
been the best so why have it? I think
this feud needed more heat in it for it to get over. I have always thought Harris would be the
more successful singles guy out of the two but he’s been nursing injuries and
Storm has taken that singles role and done pretty okay. I see this feud continuing and I see Harris
winning.
Predicted Winner: “Wildcat” Chris Harris
Jerry Lynn Vs.
Christopher Daniels Two of the best X-division wrestlers that have ever graced a
ring will go at it. Is there anything
better? These can go and even if they have
a half-asses match, then that’d be better than what we usually see in today’s
business.
Predicted Winner: Christopher Daniels
