Smackdown was alright, but this week, Raw was definately the better show. LOL @ Khali going down to Show's KO "Punch of DOOOOMMM", and Taker against Festus was good. I think Festus earned Taker's respect, but it was stupid to do a ref bump, imho.

Oh, and back to the other topics: Trips should win the WWE title, as a face, he's been a heel more often, and he works as a face, cause there's so few on Raw, and he needs to stay on Raw cause he would be wasted on Smackdown, cause who would he main-event with besides Edge, Taker, and Kane? And good for Bret that he's willing to at least take WWE up on their offer to do a return, but of course on his terms.

And yes ROH is considered and will forever be considererd Indie until they get more exposure, television, and more ppv

Just like Shawn, Triple H won't go to Smackdown... If he does, I think he would've been drugged... I myself don't even understand why they ever turned him face, he's a great heel... He has the look, the attitude and the creed. As a face, he stays "heelish" and when he tries to be funny, he fails.

I agree and disagree. He's great as a heel yes, but this face turn has been good. Plus if he stays as one or the other for too long, even his character gets stale.

And unlike you, I do find him to be funny, I guess you've got no sense of humor!

All faces gets stale.

CHEERS!

lockdown predictions:


QUEEN OF THE CAGE
Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky vs. Salinas vs. Rhaka Khan vs. Traci Brooks vs. Christy Hemme vs. Jacqueline vs. Roxxi Laveaux

i think it will come down to traci vs roxxi, and traci will win.

CUFFED IN THE CAGE
Latin American Xchange vs. Motor City Machineguns vs. Rock N' Rave Infection vs. Scott Steiner & Petey Williams vs. Eric Young & Kaz vs. Black Reign & Rellik

i would like to see mmg win. but i think scott and peety will take the w.
just as long as rellik and black reign dont win, im happy.

WOMENS TAG TEAM MATCH
Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed vs. Gail Kim & ODB

i want gail to win, but i think kong and sheed will win to set up a gail/odb feud.

FORMER PARTNERS COLLIDE
BG James vs. Kip James

i dont care. both of them suck. imo, match shouldn't even be on the card.

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

i would like to see roode win....but i think it will go to booker..ending their feud.

X CHAMPIONSHIP XSCAPE MATCH
"Black Machismo" Jay Lethal (c) vs. Curry Man vs. "The Guru" Sonjay Dutt vs. Johnny Devine vs.Shark Boy vs. Consequences Creed

guru is gonna attack lethal settin up a feud between them (they have been hinting at this for a while)..i expect lethal to retain, but creed to make his presence known.

LETHAL LOCKDOWN
TEAM TOMKO (Tomko, AJ Styles, Team 3D, James Storm)
vs. TEAM CAGE (Cage, Sting, Nash, Rhino, Matt Morgan)

as bad as i want team cage to win, i see team tomko for the win. ...i smell a rat within team cage...

TNA World Heavyweight Championship
KURT ANGLE (c) vs. SAMOA JOE

JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE

i swear, if angle wins, i will stop watching tna. im serious. im sick of total nonstop angle.



even after joe wins, i don't see him as champ for long. hell have it a few weeks (maybe) and drop it back to angle. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

although, maybe not. since angle and aj are likely to start feuding soon.

QUEEN OF THE CAGE
Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky vs. Salinas vs. Rhaka Khan vs. Traci Brooks vs. Christy Hemme vs. Jacqueline vs. Roxxi Laveaux

Not to sure I think either Traci or Roxxi

CUFFED IN THE CAGE
Latin American Xchange vs. Motor City Machineguns vs. Rock N' Rave Infection vs. Scott Steiner & Petey Williams vs. Eric Young & Kaz vs. Black Reign & Rellik

MCM or Petey and Scott

WOMENS TAG TEAM MATCH
Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed vs. Gail Kim & ODB

I think Kong and Raisha cause I don't think TNA would drop Raisha's gimmick by her taking off the veil and reveling that she's acutally a white person.

FORMER PARTNERS COLLIDE
BG James vs. Kip James

Don't care

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

Again Don't care

X CHAMPIONSHIP XSCAPE MATCH
"Black Machismo" Jay Lethal (c) vs. Curry Man vs. "The Guru" Sonjay Dutt vs. Johnny Devine vs.Shark Boy vs. Consequences Creed

Sonjay


LETHAL LOCKDOWN
TEAM TOMKO (Tomko, AJ Styles, Team 3D, James Storm)
vs. TEAM CAGE (Cage, Sting, Nash, Rhino, Matt Morgan)

I think team cage

TNA World Heavyweight Championship
KURT ANGLE (c) vs. SAMOA JOE

Joe is gonna win i'm just about 100% sure.

Triple H is currently having a great run as a babyface. He's just one of those guys who is so good that even if he's a heel, lots of fans will cheer him. Just like guys like Angle, Flair and Rock.

I'm sure he'll be awesome again as a heel soon. I do like him WAY better as a heel.

Lockdown Predictions:

CUFFED IN THE CAGE
Latin American Xchange vs. Motor City Machineguns vs. Rock N' Rave Infection vs. Scott Steiner & Petey Williams vs. Eric Young & Kaz vs. Black Reign & Rellik

Here's hoping Steiner wins. According to what I read, even though they're in teams, there's supposed to be a single winner, not a team.

WOMENS TAG TEAM MATCH
Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed vs. Gail Kim & ODB

I think the whole point of this match is to keep Gail and ODB hot while not taking away from Kong's title reign, so I see Kim pinning Raisha.

FORMER PARTNERS COLLIDE
BG James vs. Kip James

Here's to hoping Kip wins. I can't really say I can predict this one.

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

I predict this will suck, and Booker will win.

X CHAMPIONSHIP XSCAPE MATCH
"Black Machismo" Jay Lethal (c) vs. Curry Man vs. "The Guru" Sonjay Dutt vs. Johnny Devine vs.Shark Boy vs. Consequences Creed

Consequences Creed wins, of course.


LETHAL LOCKDOWN
TEAM TOMKO (Tomko, AJ Styles, Team 3D, James Storm)
vs. TEAM CAGE (Cage, Sting, Nash, Rhino, Matt Morgan)

Sting and Kevin Nash didn't make returns to wrestling to lose. Team Cage wins.

TNA World Heavyweight Championship
KURT ANGLE (c) vs. SAMOA JOE

Obviously Joe will win.

K, here's my predictions before Lockdown goes on the air:

Knockout Tag Team Match
Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed vs. Gail Kim and ODB
Winners: Gail Kim and ODB
ODB pins Saeed in a match that might actually show some blood and violence.

Cuffed in the Cage: (for the record, I wanna say this is a dumb gimmick match)
MMG vs. LAX vs. Rock n Rave Infection vs. EY and Kaz vs. Black Reign & rellik(that's killer spelled backwards. lol) vs. Steiner and Petey Williams
Winners: As much as I don't like it, Steiner and Petey.
How: Steiner will cuff Petey and take out whoever is left...

BG James vs. Kip James
Winner: BG James
How: With the hype this match is getting, this damn well better deliver. lol BG wins with the Pumphandle and Shake Rattle and Roll

Mixed Tag Team Match:
Booker T and Sharmell vs. Robert Roode and Peyton Banks
Winners: Booker T and Sharmell
How Sharmell kicks Roode in his jaw, and takes out Peyton Banks

Queen of the Cage:
Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky vs. Salinas vs. Rhaka Kahn vs. Traci vs. Jacqueline vs. Roxxi Laveaux vs. Christy Hemme
In the Cage: Roxxi Laveaux and Angelina Love
Winner: Roxxi Laveaux
How: The Voodoo Queen wins with the VooDoo Drop (am I the only one who thinks this move is wicked as hell?)

X-Division Xscape Match for the X-Division Championship:
Jay Lethal vs. Curry Man vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Johnny Devine vs. Shark Boy vs. Consequences Creed
Last two in: Lethal and Dutt
Winner: Sonjay Dutt
How and Why: Ok, I wanna say publicy that I do not like Dutt's new gimmick as "The Guru", or this heel turn he's making by trying to steal SoCal Val, but I have always respected his abilities between the ropes, and it is his time to be X-Division Champion, so Sonjay Dutt walks out new X Champ.

Lethal Lockdown:
Christian Cage, Sting, Kevin Nash, Rhino and Matt Morgan vs. Tomko, AJ Styles, Team 3D, James Storm
Winners: Team Cage
How: I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Matt Morgan picks up the win over Brother Ray.

TNA World Heavyweight Championship:
Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe
Winner: Samoa Joe
How: Angle is going to start off stong in this match, but Joe is going to turn the tide, and catch Angle in the Kokina Clutch for the submission and the win.

great ppv.

only downside was the kip and bg fight.

Woo-hoo! 6 out of 8 right for LockDown!! lol

.....sorry.

Anyone else notice that during Rellik's entrance, they started playing the wrong entrance videos?? First, the MCM, then LAX, then Rellik. I was so looking forward to see Rellik in LAX!!!!!

Sources have informed us that the word going around backstage at RAW in London today is that next week's RAW, which is a three-hour event, will be built around a one-night "King Of The Ring" tournament. From what we're hearing, the belief is that the whole tournament will be held over the course of the show next week, with all tournament matches being held that night. We have not gotten this confirmed, but it's believed it will be an eight-man tournament.

yea i noticed that. i was like wtf, lol.


and did you notice the "cena sucks!" chant when joe locked in the stf? lol.


rellik and black reign need released from tna. they suck.
so do bg and kip james.

the only real downside to the ppv (besides the james battle) was..dun dun dundun dun dundundun dun! super eric! thats so friggin retarted. all it took was the 1 min "super eric" was in the match to toally make the match look like a joke.

other then that, thumbs up

Agreed. Epic fail.

Hmm interesting.
Well if the KOTR only uses the RAW roster... It'll probably be an 8 man tournament, and feature Chris Jericho, JBL, John Cena, Triple H, Umaga, Shawn Michaels, Ken Kennedy and probably either Carlito or Santino. Cena will probably win it.

As for the Cuffed in the Cage match, I think it's beyond human logic to book Scott Steiner, the number one contender for the next PPV main event title match, into losing a match that ended up getting won by a comedy character. The Motor City Machine Guns, Steiner and Petey and LAX, all wrestlers that are supposed to be taken as serious threats to titles in TNA, took the backseat to Eric Young, the joke character.
What the hell. How are Rellik and Black Reign supposed to look like powerful insane monsters when SUPER ERIC takes them out all the time?
What bullshit.

I just wanna say something quick: I am extremely happy that my favorite diva,Mickie James,won her 4th WWE Women's Championship tonight on Raw. And I hate Todd Grisham or whoever that guy was that Mickie kissed...

Anyway,congratulations Mickie James. A job well done.

And is Jericho gonna Special Ref HBK's match at Backlash or not? P.S: Congratulations to Jericho on defending his I.C title against Umaga.

Ok, I want to make something clear. They are making a damn near mockery of the King of the Ring Tournament. Here is something that used to mean something...something that would have a month, month and a half buildup. Winning King of the Ring was almost as good as being WWF Champion, and most of them have gone on to capture said championship at some point in their careers. Now, it's squished down into only 8 people over one night instead of like what? 32 people over a month period, culminating at a King of the Ring PPV? This is a joke, and I really couldn't give two shits about who wins it. Thank you.

i think you forgot who you were talking about.

wwe makes a mockery out of everything. they even mock mocking.
those mother mockers!

Meh quit your bitching, there's nothing wrong with it.

Lockdown was a good ppv, not as good as last year's show though. Glad Joe won the title.

Raw was also good. I was happy that Mickie James won the Women's title. And Orton ruined a not too bad main-event, which Triple H clearly carried

I dont understand why the consistently feel the need to put JBL in main events. I mean the guy isnt a jobber by any means, but is he really the caliber of Trips, Orton and so on? His hair is terrible and he's obviously out of shape. Go back to the booth JBL. He's a good heel though.

Indeed, he shouldn't be in the title picture though.
That thing is that he is damn good on the mic, whenever he wanted to be face, he was great at it(remember the APA?). He is rusty in-ring right now, but we know he can be good(remember the APA?). Also, if you need some stiff work, he's the man and one of the few that they let get stiff from time to time.

well, looks liek the tna game has been pushed back :/

all of the vids that have ben released, and it even says on midway.com, that it was a summer 2008 release.

but the latest vid from ign (and posted on tnawrestling.com) says september 2008 :/

figures.

So, Mike Adamle replaced Joey Styles last night on ECW. Can't say im too happy about it, but he did an alright job, imo for being thrown in there like that.
