Yeah, "DoubleJ, Founder of TNA", he's annoying, but he's no more of an egotist than any big wrestling promoter, Bischoff, Heyman, any McMahon etc all have gotten in on the act without anywhere near his in ring justification - I find Shayne main eventing MUCH worse

[Jayesh87]

Are Carlito and Primo really brothers?

[MrMichael]

Foley is the new champ

Not even sure he was meant to, they were doing what looked like a double drop to the floor and Mick lost his grip too early. A bizarre fight really, lots of blood but no really decent spots.

Bobby Lashley imade a TNA appearance.

Taz was also teased.

Overall Lockdown was pretty good, if perhaps not living up to its potential completely, although the all cage thing does limit a lot of matches imo, and having the NewJapan titles up in both tag bouts meant those results were too predictable as neither could change hands.

Standout moments - Kong attempting a top-rope flip and AJ Styles diving through the top of the cage only for those beneath to miss the catch, almost killing him. Oh, and Love genuinely getting knocked out by a botched crossbody and winning the knockout title without knowing where she was.

Yep, one of the few real brother combos in WWE. Raw is in London tonight. Spoilers are out now I think, but cos I don't have to get up tomorrow, I'll avoid em and stay up and watch I think

I wouldn't call Heyman egotistical in comparison to McMahon or Bischoff. Heyman was unbelievable in the amount of work and effort he put in for one of the most under-rated wrestling businesses which showcased the lucha libre style that WCW nicked, the dark and hardcore storylines which became Attitude.

Jarrett gets on my nerves because from my understanding, he doesn't have the majority share of the business yet has total writing control and has little to back that up. For all the criticism we give for Triple H for monopolising Wrestlemania's and various TV main events, at least the guy can actually talk and wrestle a bit whilst Jarrett is no where in the same category. Ultimately, both should be took behind the woodshed and shot and allow Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle become champions of their respective companies.

Worth downloading? I might watch after my exams finish. I'm not committing three hours to watch some dross when I can revise.

Raw was ****. Bad promos, botched matches, rubbish stories.

I agree, Raw was awful, how quiet was it when HHH/Orton were on? At least the Cena booing was hilarious

Thats always hilarious. Its a right FU to McMahon who tries and forces the audience to like him with **** promos and crap gags which would be embarrasing if Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake delivered it.

Yeah, that's fair enough actually

Mmmmm, personally I would say so, there were a few moments that are worth skipping past, but overall it was resonably entertaining.

Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, the next two WWE tours over this way will be called The DX Reunion tour and The Undertakers Rest In Peace tour.

So looks like we'll have one more round of telling people to suck it and the big rumour is that the RIP tour is Undertakers retirement tour. If it is, I'm going.

Backlash on now, not sure if anyones watching

New ECW champ in Christian and he had a backstage chat with Edge too, good to see them together.

Jericho beat Steamboat, who put in a good performance

Kane beat Punk, match was ok

Jeff beat Matt, dragged a bit and was lame

Santina had a wardrobe malfunction and confessed his love for JR, (Mr BBQ Sauce man as (s)he calls him)

Now HHH/Batista/Shane vs Legacy is on, its been ok so far

[johnly]

and to round it off, two more title changes. Orton pinned HHH for the WWE title after punting him in the head, HHH gets carted out.

Edge beat Cena in a decent last man standing match for the world heavyweight title after Big Show chokeslammed Cena into a spotlight for the 10 count.

Each show has a world champ, were back to normal. I expect HHH to disappear now and for him and Micheals to come back for this last DX run thats rumoured. Or maybe not

[Joe King]

I watched the World Title tag team match. Massive bodge up at the end

During the HHH match last night they rang the bell early, oops some ones getting fired. At least there wasn't as many botched moves last night as there were at Wrestlemania
