Anyone buying Lockdown?

[PureHatred]

I'm going to be honest. And this is probably going to come off as a TNA bashing threa. but I don't give two licks about this PPV:

Here's the line-up:

NA returns to PPV tonight with their second annual Lockdown event, featuring a lineup of all Steel Cage Matches. The complete lineup for the show features:

*NWA champion Christian Cage vs. Abyss

*Sting & AJ Styles & Rhino & Ron Killings vs. Jeff Jarrett & Scott Steiner & America's Most Wanted - Weapons Hanging from the Roof

*NWA X-Division champion Samoa Joe vs. Sabu (first-ever meeting)

*Christopher Daniels vs. mystery opponent

*Team 3D vs. Team Canada - Anthem Match

*Bob Armstrong vs. Konnan - Arm Wrestling

*Chris Sabin vs. Elix Skipper vs. Petey Williams vs. Shark Boy vs. Chase Stevens vs. Puma - Xscape Match

I've already said I don't care for the LOCKDOWN concept(although who wouldn't want to watch arm wrestling IN SIX SIDES OF STEEL!!!11!1roxorz!) but even w/o the goofy gimmick, there's nothing about this show that makes me want to buy it.

Daniels/Liger would've been a big lure, but that got scrapped.

AJ Styles as a second fiddle worries me. He's the company's biggest 'home -grown' talent, and yet he's been lost in the upper midcard shuffle. Mr. TNA is more like Mr. Lost at the moment.

Their War Games match will probab;ly be a lot of fun to watch, but that's the only thing that jumps out of me. I even thiink Cage/Abyss will be pretty bad, actually.

So here's my question for all the TNA defenders: are you buying this PPV? Am I missing something? Because TNA folowed up a nice debut on Thrusday with a lackluster show that got a lousy rating last week (for those who didn't see it somewhere else, they scored a 0.9, which was dissapointing because their UFC lead-in scored a really good 2.1. TNA completely lost tier lead-in audience apparently).

And now they're following that with what looks like a pretty blah PPV. Bringin Sting back and signing Steiner was supposed to BUILD momentum..lokks like things are going the other way...

I'll be getting Lockdown, but I get every wrestling PPV whether or not I'm really interested in the product or not.

I used to back TNA over WWE non-stop, but they're turning into WCW when it went under choosing a lot of older popular wrestlers over the young guys they already have. I really don't enjoy the WWE right now either, but will be watching Backlash as well.

I'll try(if I remember) to post the Lockdown results as they happen, and what I thought of the match.

Eat Soup!

I won't be getting it...but then, my wife just lost her job on top of me not being able to find one, so that somewhat influences my decisions..=P

I'm still waiting for a TNA PPV worth my money...I have a feeling I will be waiting a while...

As an update, apparently Billy Kidman may make an appearance and there are rumors about Low-Ki being Daniels' opponent. I thiink Kidman is incredibly dull, but Low-Ki would be an interesting addition to TNA at this point. he's had great matches with AJ, Daniels, and Joe in the past.

I'm not getting it, but Low-Ki would be an interesting addition to TNA. Mind you, they'd just probably insert him into Styles/Daniels/Joe and keep the feuds going.
