I still this PPV would benefit better from just having the Lethal Lockdown match in the cage and the World Heavyweight in the cage and the rest of the matches being normal matches. If Joe wins the title and that's a big if then he should hold it for at least a year seeing as how they've screwed him at every turn so far and held off way too long for a title reign for him.

[- AF -]

Too many Knockout matches. 3 Matches involving Knockouts. Thats no good.

[sillymunkee]

48 people all together on the final line up. Thats gotta be a pricey PPV for TNA to put on. Im excited just based on the non exsistence of the "electrified" cage.

[mojack420]

looks like a soil card and i personally cant wait to see CLM get a chance in the ring and kick some freaking ass. I will buy it just for that match alone.

My Predictions:

TNA World Title

Samoa Joe vs Kurt Angle(c)

TNA X Title Xscape Match

Johnny Devine vs Curry Man vs Shark Boy vs Sonjay Dutt vs Creed vs Jay Lethal

Lethal Lockdown

Team Tomko vs Team Cage

Booker T/Sharmell vs Roode/Banks

Kip James vs BG James

Kong/Melissa vs Kim/ODB

Queen Of The Cage

Brooks vs Love vs Velvet vs Rhaka Khan vs Roxxi vs Jackie vs Salinas vs Christy(I think it will be Tracy/Khan at the end)

Cuffed In The Cage

LAX vs MCMG vs RNRI vs Kaz/Young vs Reign/Rellik vs Petey/Steiner



Overall, the card is very top heavy but still should work out. Joe/Angle, Lethal Lockdown, and the Xscape matches all need to deliver tho.

The Great

Joe/Angle
Lethal Lockdown

The Good

Xscape match
Melissa debuts in the womens match

The Ok/Average

Mixed tag(should have been Roode/Booker)


The Bad

BG/Kip
Queen Of The Cage
Cuffed In The Cage

[TripleG]

My predictions and thoughts:

First of all, TNA went to extreme lengths to cram everybody onto this card. If you take Lethal Lockdown, Cuffed in the Cage, Queen of the Cage, & Xscape all together, you have a total of 36 wrestlers in 4 matches. Wow. Personally, I would have preferred Queen of the Cage to be left off and try to spread the guys out a little more, but what can you do? Overall, I think the card looks like we could get an action packed show with Two main events that should deliver.

TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Kurt Angle (c) vs. "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe

- I'm very interested in this match. Number 1, Joe needs to win and that's who I'm going to pick. But I think this match also has potential to be the best match in their feud. Hopefully it delivers. The whole MMA thing I keep hearing about has me both intrigued and worried. Hopefully it all goes well as I know both guys are good enough to put on a great match.

My Pick - Samoa Joe. TNA. It's time!


LETHAL LOCKDOWN
Team Cage (Christian, Nash, Sting, Rhino, Morgan) vs. Team Tomko (Tomko, AJ, Team 3D, Storm)

- This will also be very good. Keep your eye on Matt Morgan because I think they are going to let him shine. I'm going to go ahead and predict the order in which they come out.

The match wtill start with AJ & Christian. Tomko's team will have the advantage, and Storm will be out next. Then in this order, Rhino, Devon, Sting, Ray, Nash, Tomko, Morgan. I think they are going to save Morgan for last so he can make a huge Impact upon his arrival.

Now the face team has always won Lethal Lockdown. I don't see that happening this year. I think Team Tomko is going to get the win through some betrayal from one of the members of Team Cage, most likely Morgan. But this should be an awesome match and will probably be the most violent of the night.

My Pick - Team Tomko

MIXED TAG TEAM GRUDGE MATCH
Booker T & Sharmell vs. Robert Roode & Payton Banks

- Aside from the two main events, this has been the best built match on the card. Roode has gotten the best of Booker at their last few PPV encounters whether it be hitting Sharmell at FR or pinning Booker at DX. Booker is going to get his revenge and I think they'll tease Roode hitting Sharmell again only for her to get some kind of revenge on him.

My Pick - Booker & Sharmell

X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP XSCAPE
"Black Machismo" Jay Lethal vs. "Guru" Sonjay Dutt vs. Shark Boy vs. Curry Man vs. Johnny Devine vs. Consequences Creed

- I was predicting this to be the crazy spotfest of the show but with Cuffed in the Cage added and seeing who is in that I don't know. This should be one of the better matches on the show though. I'll pick Lethal to retain and for it to further the buildup for Sonjay/Lethal down the road. If anybody is going to take the title, it will be Sonjay, and I predict that it will actually come down to Lethal & Sonjay.

My Pick - Jay Lethal.

FORMER PARTNERS COLLIDE
Kip James vs. BG James

- Build up has been awesome with the Rough Cut segments, but I'm not expecting much out of the match. I have a feeling that this could be BG's last match in TNA just because of the way he talked about it on the last Rough Cut segment. So I'm going to pick Kip to win what will probably be the weakest match on the show.

My Pick - Kip James

KNOCKOUT'S TAG TEAM MATCH
Gail Kim & O.D.B. vs. Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed

- I'm looking forward to seeing what Saeed brings to the table in TNA. She has a big reputation from the Indys as Cheerleader Melissa, and I think this match will be used to showcase what she can do. Since Kong's title isn't on the line, I'm going to pick the faces to win just to balance out for all time times Kong beat them. And since she's been billed as a manager to Kong, I see Saeed taking the fall for her team.

My Pick - Gail Kim & ODB

QUEEN OF THE CAGE MATCH
Jackie Moore vs. Roxxy Laveaux vs. Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky vs. Rhaka Khan vs. Traci Brooks vs. Christy Hemme vs. Salinas

- This match is basically a reinvention of the reverse battle royal, but I think that concept is much better with a cage, because fighting to get into a cage (I'm assuming that they are going to be climging up and in) is much harder to do than fighting your way into a ring. Anyways, this should be chaotic outside the cage and settle down into a singles match inside. I'm going to say the two girls will be Rhaka Khan & Traci Brooks. I think they might want to build Rhaka Khan as a legit match for Kong, but Traci's been getting more attention storyline wise, so I'll pick her. The only other girl I can see winning this thing is Roxxy.

My Pick - Traci Brooks

CUFFED IN THE CAGE
The Motor City Machine Guns, The Latin American Xchange, Rock & Rave Infection, Black Reign & Rellik, Super Eric & Kaz, Petey Williams & Scott Steiner

- This match sounds fucked up. How in the hell are they going to get 12 guys in the cage and get 11 of them handcuffed? But looking at who is in this match, I think it might top the Xscape in terms of insanity. Kaz? LAX? The Guns? X Division Guys? Heavyweights? I mean this looks like just a clusterfuck of chatotic proportions. I know I just made that sound like a bad thing, but I think if they make this just a wild spotfest, it could be a highlight of the show.

Now I think it would make more sense if six guys started in the ring with the partners handcuffed outside. Two handcuff keys are placed in Two corners of the ring and have the men fight for the keys. Once the two keys are collected, the other four teams are eliminated and the winners can uncuff their partners resulting in a tag team match to close. Evne that sounds crazy, but oh well.

Anyways, I have absolutely no idea, so I'm just going to pick Kaz to win it.

[Taroostyles]

Yeah, perhaps if they ran Cuffed somewhat like Lethal Lockdown than it wouldn't be as clustered.(New team every few minutes or so)

But I doubt they do that since it would kinda take away from LL's luster. I can't see having all 12 guys in the ring with handcuffs being any good.

I don't even see how it could be a spotfest with that many guys in the ring at once, if there's tagging maybe but there probably isn't gonna be enough room for that many guys on the apron anyway.

I know it's a way to get alot of guys on the show, but it's just too much. I can't see why they would think anyone wants to see this.

They should have just booked LAX/MCMG/RNI II and given the fans something they could have actually enjoyed.

TNA had been laying off the gimmicks a little bit, but this undercard has 2 of the worst gimmick match premises yet.(Right up there with Fight For the Right, Feast Or Fired, and Fish Market Streetfight. And all those horrid Xmas gimmick matches)

[TripleG]

Actually I'm going to change my prediction. Scott Steiner is going to win Cuffed in the Cage since he's getting the title shot at Sacrifice.

By the way I feel sorry for Elix Skipper. He's the only guy on the active roster that didn't get a spot on the PPV. Poor guy.

Skipper's on and off with the company.

[A7XLP]

My predictions are a little different compared to others.

Kurt Angle vs Joe
I really hope that the fans at Lockdown are cheering for Joe. It should finish with a submission and Angle has to be bleeding. I don't think he has bleed intentionally for TNA for a while - this is one of the matches where he should.

Winner Joe

Team Cage vs Team Tomko
This match should have some good spots and the crowd should be into this. I really hope this is a good match, all the previous ones have been.

Winner Team Cage

Lethal vs. Curry Man vs. Dutt vs. Devine vs. Shark Boy vs. Creed
I think it will be either Dutt or Lethal, either way their feud can progress from. Creed should get most offence in this match to put him over. I can't see Curry man, Devine or Sharkboy picking up the win tonight and rather just have rolls to entertain the crowd.

Winner Dutt

Angelina vs Velvet vs Salinas vs Khan vs Traci vs Hemme vs Jacqueline vs Roxxi Laveaux
The camera men are going to be all over the place in this one. I can't see this working, not much moves can be done on the outside. Hopefully the 2 in the ring can actually wrestle and make this into an Okay match. I predict Roxxi and Velvet Sky in the ring and Roxxi picking up the win. I don't see an angle coming off here besides Roxxi and "the beautiful people" which is why I chose them. Salinas and Hemme are probably they only other ones who are likely to feud in this match.

Winner - Roxxi

Booker T & Sharmell vs. Robert Roode & Payton Banks
Hopefully this feud will be over with, if Roode wins I don't see it ending. I'm not really into this feud but get why others would be.

Winner Booker T and Sharmell

BG James vs. Kip James
They are most likely going to continue this feud, and so I chose the heel to win but hoping BG wins so that this feud is over.

Winner BG James

MCMG vs LAX vs Steiner & Petey vs RocknRave vs Young & Kaz vs Reign & Rellik
All they have to do is make their point that Super Eric isn't scared of Reign and Rellik (thats killer spelt backwards btw) after that they should both get cuffed and out the match. LAX need to be showcased again in this match, or maybe Rock N Rave so they can feud with LAX like they were meant to. However I would like LAX to feud with AJ and Tomko already.

Winners LAX

Kong & Saeed vs Gail Kim & ODB
ODB shows who Saeed is and Kong should Awesome bomb ODB and picks up the win after that. Thats how I see it ending. Should be an good match, would be better if she wasn't Saeed as I think that gimmick limits her wrestling ability.

Winners Kong and Saeed

Thats it, I predict it would be an okay PPV, I don't see the Angle/Joe match being good if the crowd is split or if its to MMA. They are both smart enough to know how a good match should be put on.
