TNA Lockdown Results: Pro Wrestling News Daily

Welcome to the TNA Lockdown Results for April 13th, 2008 including the classic wrestling match between Kurt Angle & Samoa Joe! Keep checking back right here at Pro Wrestling News Daily for more wrestling news, wrestling rumors and wrestling spoilers! If you want to see how well I did with my Lockdown predictions then you can check out my Lockdown Preview.


Pre-show

- There were no matches on the pre-show this time, just a bunch of your traditional TNA Wrestling hype videos.


X-Division Xscape Match

Jay Lethal vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Johnny Devine vs. Consequences Creed vs. Curry Man vs. Shark Boy

- Devine pinned Dutt with a roll up.

- Creed pinned Shark Boy with the CreeDT.

- Curry Man pinned Creed with the Spicy Drop.

- Devine pinned Curry Man with the Divine Intervention double underhook piledriver.

- We're left with Jay Lethal vs. Johnny Devine in an escape match.


Your Winner: Jay Lethal after escaping the cage


Queen of the Cage Match

Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky vs. Roxxi Leveaux vs. Salinas vs. Christy Hemme vs. Jacqueline Moore vs. Traci Brooks vs. Rhaka Khan

- Roxxi Leveaux and Angelina Love were the first two in the cage and hence would compete in a #1 Contender's Match for the TNA Knockouts Title.


Your Winner: Roxxi Leveaux by pinfall after the Voodoo Drop.


Kip James vs. BG James

- Not a very exciting match. Went about 6 minutes.


Your Winner: BG James via roll up


After the match, Kip James assaulted BG James.


Handcuffed in the Cage Match

Rock 'n Rave Infection vs. Kax & Super Eric vs. Rellik & Black Reign vs. Motor City Machine Guns vs. LAX vs. Scott Steiner & Petey Williams

- This point of this match was to attempt to handcuff all of your opponents to the cage. Last one not handcuffed wins.

- Eric Young came out, but ran to the back afraid of the monsters. He came back towards the end of the match as Super Eric.


Your Winner: Super Eric & Kaz when Super Eric cuffed Black Reign to the cage.


Nice story to this match, but the action wasn't as good as I thought it would be.


Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed vs. Gail Kim & ODB

- What a good match! TNA Wrestling once again proves that the TNA Knockouts division is the best women's division in wrestling!


Your Winner: Gail Kim & ODB when ODB pinned Raisha Saeed with a splash from the top rope.


Robert Roode & Peyton Banks vs. Booket T & Sharmell

- Not a great match. Only lasted about 8 minutes. I've been severely disappointed with the in-ring work in this feud, even though the promos and build have been pretty good. Can neither of these guys work an active 15 minute match or what?


Your Winner: Booker T & Sharmell when Sharmell rolled up Peyton Banks for the pin.


Lethal Lockdown

Team Cage (Christian Cage, Sting, Kevin Nash, Rhino & Matt Morgan) vs. Team Tomko (Tomko, AJ Styles, James Storm & Team 3D)

- This ~25 minute match featured a huge spot that saw AJ Styles and Christian Cage crash through the top of the Lethal Lockdown structure.

- Some could argue that this match didn't really advance any storylines in much of a meaningful way, with the finish seeing Rhino pin Storm, neither of which anyone cares much about.


Your Winner: Team Cage when Rhino speared and then pinned James Storm.


TNA World Title Match

Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe

- You can check out my preview of Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle if you'd like. In it I talk about the ramifications of the match mixing MMA with professional wrestling, how the feud has developed and what it all means for professional wrestling. I also give my prediction for the match.

- Wow, what a match this was! This match was amazing, coming in at nearly 20 minutes.

- Many great and believable near falls. This personified the type of realism that is sorely needed in pro wrestling today.

- Frank Trigg just legitimized commentary in TNA. Please TNA, hire this guy!


Your Winner: Samoa Joe by pinfall after hitting the Muscle Buster. Samoa Joe wins the TNA World Title! Samoa Joe wins!


All in all this was a solid offering from TNA. The last two matches, quick action in the X-Division match and the women's match were all solid, though I wish that they'd all been longer and that TNA Wrestling would've gotten rid of some of the other matches. A decent pay-per-view topped off with an amazing main event.


Grade: B+
