[M.S.I.I.]

There's no way this match isn't up there with the best matches so far this year, if your talking mainstream (WWE/TNA).

[-Mystery-]

Honestly, I can't put it anywhere near Flair/Michaels or Taker/Edge.

In reality it's just as good as the Christian Cage/Kurt Angle matches, because they follow the same formula for the most part.

Those deserve just as much love as Joe/Angle V, actually.

[M.S.I.I.]

I loved the Cage-Angle series from this year, but I think Angle-Joe V just had everything you wanted in a match, and showed you who the better man was convincingly. And the build was tremendous, and it's the type of build that TNA should have for their title matches all the time.

With Angle-Joe V I'd probably tie it with Edge-Taker, maybe even put it above, but it's definitely right below Flair Michaels.

The Joe vs. Angle match from Lockdown was a great one indeed. The match was quite stiff and I enjoyed it. The clothesline Joe gave to Angle was an awesome thing to see. I also loved the side kick Joe gave Angle. Some people are saying it had an abrupt ending, but I disagree with that I felt it ended nicely. Currently I have the match at ****1/4. Though that was just at one viewing. Ill probably check out again later on this week to get my final rating out of it.

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

I personally preferred Joe/Angle and Lethal Lockdown to either of the WM matches.

Granted, Joe/Angle wasn't for everyone but the realism was so insane. The story it told was pretty much perfect and the way it played out was so well done.

I guess there wasn't enough action for some people, but it was one of the most logical professional wrestling matches I've ever seen.

I also think Lethal Lockdown isn't really getting the love it deserves, I thought it was easily ****1/4-****1/2.

I need to see the matches on DVD but I thought both matches were compeletely different yet similarly awesome. I thought the booking of both matches was just executed perfectly.(Something that doesn't happen often in TNA)

But I can see how some people aren't gonna dig the Joe/Angle match, but I thought it was a classic for sure.

Even though Joe/Angle went for an actual MMA feel, I was kind of hoping they would just have it be stiffer than normal and not do some of it. It was a great match tho, don't get me wrong. I was just kind of hoping Joe and Angle studied Danielson vs. Morishima from MM 2 and Man Up to get a good idea what they should shoot for.

**** 1/4 - **** 1/2

Joe winning the title was a great moment.

Edit: Gonna watch Lethal Lockdown soon

[Leonardo LunchBoX]

I didn't like the match. I feel the MMA stuff was very cheesy and for the 5th match they should have just gone at each other from the get go. Plus Joe isn't a MMA fighter and neither is Angle plus they were inside a cage....just felt like one giant letdown.
