I definitely thought Austin vs HHH 3SOH was ***** as was Benoit/Angle that you mentioned. I thought Michaels vs Flair was as well but I don't think you can blame WWE for it not going on last, a guy like Flair wouldn't have had it.

I think Angle/Joe has the potential for ***** as long as there's no interference and a perfectly clean finish - asking a lot from TNA though.

Joe/Angle-****1/4-****1/2
Lethal Lockdown-****1/2

I was at the show live so these easily could change, especially Joe/Angle. Incredible double main event.

Some people aren't appreciating cause of it's slow build and style, but it was pretty incredible. My rating could easily go up since it's hard to gauge live for match ratings sometimes.

Easily one of the most realistic pro wrestling matches of all time, right up there Wrestlewar IMO.(Not saying it was better, but felt just as real as that match did)

Caldwell and Keller from PWTorch gave it **** 1/2. I believe it was Caldwell that said "it could have been much better with at least 5 more minutes since it seemed really short." When you rate a match **** 1/2 and then say it could have been "much better", that says a lot.

They both gave Lethal Lockdown *** i believe. How was the rest of the show?

I thought it was fun until the ankle lock reversals started.

I heard the match came off bad on TV from 5 diffrent people, Angle vs Joe that is.

Me personally i wasn't even excited for the match.

*** is incredibly harsh for Lethal Lockdown, I thought it was the best one yet. Meltzer called it "spectacular" and I tend to agree. I stand by the rating pretty wholeheartedly.

The rest of the show was pretty good and nothing came off really bad.(Even the matches I expected to be bad weren't that bad.)

My ratings were

Xscape Match-***1/4-***1/2
Queen Of The Cage-**1/2(The beginning was silly but Roxxi/Angelina worked a pretty good match. Roxxi was also super over, like seriously over huge.)
BG/Kip-**(Pretty much what I expected.)
Cuffed In The Cage-**3/4(The gimmick played out better than I expected even tho the finish was predictable)
Kong/Melissa vs ODB/Kim-**3/4-***(The match was good but it only got about 8 minutes. Still enjoyable tho, I wanna see Melissa wrestle without that outfit on tho)
Booker/Sharmell vs Roode/Banks-***1/4(Again it went kinda short, but the work Roode/Booker did I thought was really good. They kept the girls out into the end and it played out pretty well)

And the other 2 matches I already rated, any of these could change and probably will when I see them on DVD.

I really can't believe anybody would give LL ***, **** at the very least IMO.

Well matches like that are especially subjective since some people just don't like hardcore/gimmick type of matches.

I thought it was the best one yet and the last 2 I had at **** and ****1/4 respectively.

Lethal Lockdown was also the big reason why some people got restless for Joe/Angle, it was so awesome and Joe/Angle was just an entirely other type of match.
