Tremendous Tirades Throwback – TNA Lockdown 2006

PPV Pre-Show!

This is different. The pre-show is pre-taped this year. I guess they didn’t want to mess with pre-show matches and then being rushed to put the cage up.

Tenay and West are standing in the ring with the cage up running down the card. I think that they painted the cage black, or the pre-tape cage is black.

We get a video package, highlighting various matches.

JB discusses the Cage vs. Abyss match, and we get a video history of the feud, including the camera work of Alex Shelley.

Tenay and West now hype Lethal Lockdown, with Team Sting (Sting, AJ Styles, Ron Killings and Rhino) vs. Team Jarrett (JJ, Scott Steiner and America’s Most Wanted © (Storm and Harris). Two men start, and then when the cage fills up with all the men, the ceiling (with weapons hanging from it) will lower and the real mayhem begins!

We get a video package detailing the Sting vs. JJ feud.

Next is a video package featuring the LAX vs. James Gang feud.

JB is back to preview the Sabu vs. Samoa Joe © X Title match.

Video package is show hyping the match.

JB hypes the Team 3D vs. Team Canada Anthem/Flag match, with the usual video package.

West does the final hard sell for the show.

They play the really cool video that they used to close Impact.

TNA Lockdown begins…NOW!

The PPV opening video is the really kick ass video they have been plugging all week on TNAwrestling.com.

Team Sting celebrates as we fade…

-Best Match: X-Cup Preview Match: Team Japan (Goto, Minoru and Black Tiger) defeated Team USA (Dutt, Lethal and Shelley) @ 12:12 via pin ***¾
-Worst Match: Arm Wrestling Contest: Bullet Bob defeated Konnan (Per Stipulation LAX were strapped 10-times by the James Gang) (N-R)

The 411: Overall there were no bad matches, and a lot of solid to very good ones. Even stuff like the arm wrestling wasn't bad, which is could have been horrible. It was short and the crowd loved it. While there were no MOTY candidates, the show is very enjoyable to sit back and watch just good matches, with some crazy spots and bumps to make, I think, everyone happy. We'll go thumbs up and 7 out of 10.

Final Score:  7.0   [ Good ]
