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.

Why would Angle/Joe not be as good if the crowd was split? Usually that's a good thing for the atmosphere.

[Optikk]

Joe vs Angle will be a VERY good match. I can imagine a lot of close pins, and a lot of submission style, and mat-wrestling here. I just hope we see a few spots from these two, like Angle slams from the top of the cage, and what note. I pick Joe to win here in maybe a **** match.

Lethal Lockdown should also be quite good. I see another one of Russo's swerves here with Kevin Nash turning on Team Cage. I hope that we see a lot of blood in this match. I can imagine Matt Morgan doing a lot in this match. I think Team Tomko will win here.

The X-Division cage match here should be good. I definitely see a LOT of spots here but Sharkboy being in this match is a fkn joke imo. Best bet is that they were going to put Elix Skipper in this match, but he has to do some other things on the 13th. I can see Machismo with the win here, leading onto a feud with Dutt for Sacrifice.

Not looking forward to the mixed tag match between Roode/Peyton and Booker/Sharmell mainly because mixed tag matches are boring. Plus, I'm not sure if Sharmell can even wrestle. (If she can, please correct me ) I can definitely see Roode here doing something with Sharmell until Booker interrupts, or Sharmell kicks him in the balls or something. I see Booker coming out with the win here.

The Kip James/BG James match will probably be the most boring match on the card. Not really expecting much here, but it should be a good one for a toilet break. I think BG will win here.

The knockout tag match should be good. TNA women's wrestling is always good. I usually skip the WWE ones but TNA ones, never. I'm interested to see Saeed in this match, and hopefully she does a bit of wrestling, but I dont know how she'll do that with the veil. I see Gail and ODB winning here.

The queen match is going to be quite interesting. Lots of women fighting in one place = cat fights imo. To get into the ring would be quite hard when they have to climb the cage. It'll probably lead down to Roxxi and Angelina Love or Velvet Sky, with Angelina Love, or Velvet Sky winning here due to some kind of interruption.

Cuffed in the Cage is going to be a fucking joke. I bet it'll take up maybe a max of about 15 minutes, so I imagine that the number of people in the cage will drop like flies in the first 5 minutes leaving the last few minutes for good wrestling and spots. To get 12 people in a ring surrounded by a cage, and to have a good match will be hard, so i'll be interested to see how they do it. I see Super Eric winning here. It's pretty obvious he'll win IMO.
If I was them, I would've just done some kind of knockout gauntlet. 2 superstars start in the middle, with all of the others fighting around the side. (They could decide the participant entry order by having some kind of lottery) Then every 2 minutes, one of the superstars from the outside have to enter the ring. If they can't enter within 30 seconds (they could be totally knocked out on the outside, or somebody is keeping them from getting in), they are out of the match. If they get in within 30 seconds, then the 2 minutes for the next person starts counting down. The winner is the last man standing in the ring. That way, we'll get some wrestling in the ring, but also brawls on the outside.

Predictions for Lockdown sure to go wrong:

TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe
Joe will most likely win with the Clutch in the MOTN.

LETHAL LOCKDOWN
Team Cage vs. Team Tomko
Betrayal by Morgan will allow Team Tomko the win.

XSCAPE MATCH
Jay Lethal vs. Curry Man vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Johnny Devine vs. Shark Boy vs. Consequences Creed
Lethal and Dutt will be the last two men in, but Creed will impress while Devine is most likely the first out.

QUEEN OF THE CAGE
Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky vs. Salinas vs. Rhaka Khan vs. Traci vs. Christy Hemme vs. Jacqueline vs. Roxxi Laveaux
Last two in will be Roxxi and Rhaka Khan

Booker T & Sharmell vs. Robert Roode & Payton Banks
The feud has to end so I'll go with Booker to win it.

BG James vs. Kip James
Don't care about this one so I just picked Kip since he might get a mini-push after this.

CUFFED IN THE CAGE
MCMG vs. LAX vs. Scott Steiner and Petey Williams vs. The Rock N' Rave Infection vs. Young & Kaz vs. Black Reign & Rellik
Steiner doesn't have to win this since he'll face Joe at Sacrifice so I expect Petey to win it to continue the Steiner's apprentice role.

Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed vs. Gail Kim & ODB
Hopefully we'll see a curb stomp on ODB.

Well there is alot of people doubting that Joe as a champion now would work and that it should have happened ages ago. I've noticed that Joe reactions are a little less then what they used to be, but he still is over with the crowd.

I feel if Joe was more over with the Crowd, people watching would also feel that Joe as champion would work now. However if the crowd was more pro Angle, then it makes the first point questionable again. I like split reactions myself, I expect there to be Angle chants, just rather they were more pro Joe on the night

[Louie85TX]

i'm so tired of people doubting joe cuz yea it's very late but atleast the time is hear so think about the positives and he is still over atleast and the reason fans are split is cuz kurt is great too i mean a mega heel but his character is way better now than it was since he first debuted and the title has finally now become prestigious/important and a huge build up so of course a split crowd which is good

[TripleG]

I fully expect the net fans to trash Joe's title win saying that it means nothing because its too late. It seems like they are already saying it.

Fine then, Ric Flair's retirement means nothing because that should have happened 10 years ago.

A mean thing to say, but it sounds just as silly doesn't it?

[M.S.I.I.]

Nobody can win.

If Joe wins, then it's too late, too predictable, and nobody cares anymore.
If Joe loses, then their shitting on Joe, they don't believe in him, and TNA sucks.

I honestly don't care anymore. People are too critical about shit, and have an argument ready for any outcome.

-----------

Anyways, I think the Knockouts are going to surprise people again on the show.

[stinger-splash]

My Lockdown predictions:

Joe vs Kurt Angle
In a classic match, Joe will win after the Coquina Clutch. The ref will hold Angle's hand up 3 times, 3 times Angle won't be able to put it back up and Joe will be your new TNA WHC.

Team Tomko vs Team Cage
I'm expecting another great match, probably it won't last as long as last year because Joe vs Angle will goe at least 15-20 minutes. Somebody will make a swerve, probably Nash. I think this match will set up some new feuds.

Kip James vs BG James
The Rough Cuts made me interesed for this match. I think BG James will end the feud with the win.

Booker T/Sharmell vs Robert Roode/Banks
Sharmell will use a leather strap to hit Roode and Banks. The ref tries to stop her, but Sharmell will whip his ass too which leads to a DQ win for Roode/Banks.

Queen of the Cage - Roxxi Laveaux
A reverse cage match? It will be Roxxi or Traci Brooks vs Velvet Sky or Angeline Love in the end. Not looking forward to this one tbh.

Handcuffs match - Petey
Another stupid gimmick match, not looking forward to see this mess.

Awesome Kong/Raisha Saaed vs ODB/Gail Kim
This match will deliver. I don't know what to expect yet, but I can't wait for Melissa's debut.

X-Scape Match - Jay Lethal
This will be a great, x-division match. Looking forward to see Curry Man, C Creed and the further Lethal vs Dutt teasing. Probably it will be Lethal vs Sonjay or Devine in the end.

Can't wait to see:
Joe vs Angle
Lethal Lockdown
X-scape

This should be good-great:
Booker/Sharmell vs Roode/Banks
Kong/Saaed vd ODB/Gail
BG vs Kip

Don't expect much of:
Cuffed in the Cage
Queen of the Cage

[Taroostyles]

I've realized something, as long as Joe/Angle is given atleast 20-25 minutes and is interference free, then it's worth the price of admission alone.

Plus, then you have Lethal Lockdown and Xscape which round out a great top of the card. The rest could be meh-good but I'm not worried about it anymore.

But if Karen Angle somehow becomes a factor after all this "it's just Joe and Angle" talk and all the build, I will seriously be boycotting TNA.

Not saying it's gonna happen at all, just how pissed I'll be if it does.

[stinger-splash]

I have a feeling Angle vs Joe will go at least 20 minutes and without interferences. It will be a absolute classic match. You can expect a 5 star match. Crowd will be red hot.
