My TNA Monthly Catch-up, Mar - Apr 07

Did ya miss me last month? Nope? Like I care! Ok. Yeah, I know, last months update is WAY overdue. Sorry about that, I won't give excuses why. In life s**t happens and I won't bore you with it unlike certain bleating s**tewads. We'll just cut right to the review. THE CAVEAT! This review is from my Point of View, I call it how I see it. If you don't agree that's not a problem, don't read the review. I won't talk about backstage interviews or c***py gimmicks in the ring that don't advance TNA in any way. It might mean a short review but I only watch THE WRESTLING!

Impact 15th March 07 - Show opens and Jim Cornette tells us about an up coming event for the next PPV stolen right from the Dusty Rhodes big book of wrestling.

Kaz vs Jerry Lynn vs Jay Lethal in a 3-way X-division match. Jay Lethal gets the win.

Homicide, Hernandez & Alex Shelley vs Team 3d & Brother Runt. LAX get the win with some outside help.

Impact 22nd March 07 - Seratonin vs Rhyno, Samoa Joe & Kurt Angle. Team Angle get themselves a pre Lockdown warm-up match. Joe took the win for Team Angle with the muscle buster.

Eric Young vs Austin Starr, Starr getting the win after interference from Robert Roode.

James Storm vs Jerry Lynn. Lynn had been jumped by Chris Daniels prior to the match so this was never going to happen.

Chris Harris comes out with Gail Kim who gets called a slut for her trouble. Kim and Jackie Moore have a mini cat fight and the ref's can't break it up. TNA is in a sad state when the women over a few minutes are more entertaining than the men over the whole night.

AJ Styles & Christian Cage vs Sting & Abyss. Sting & Abyss work together pretty well as a tagteam until James Mitchell lures Abyss away and Steiner uses a "steel pipe" which looked like cardboard to clock Sting & Styles gets the win.

Impact 29th March 07 - Sonjay Dutt, Sharkboy, Alex Shelley, Austin Starr, Jerry Lynn & Petey Williams. Sharkboy elminates Alex Shelley. Jerry Lynn eliminates Sonjay Dutt. Austin Starr eliminates Sharkboy. Petey Williams eliminates Austin Starr. Jerry Lynn gets the win in a good match.

Eric Young vs James Storm. Storm took the win with help from Jackie Moore.

Match for Tomko - Abyss vs Kurt Angle, Angle makes a clean good win, Tomko knocks out Angle & signs for Team Cage anyway.

Impact 5th April 07 - No DQ 8 mile street fight - Rhyno vs Tomko. Rhyno gets the win from the gore in the ring after a mainly out of ring match where Abyss tried to interfere and failed when he hit Tomko with a chair.

VKM vs LAX. LAX got dq'd in the non-title match and Team 3d made the save after The Latino Nation pulled the numbers game on VKM.

Austin Starr vs Senshi. Bob Backlund threw in the towel for Senshi when he was in some sort of modified leg lock.

Cornette announces the card for Lockdown.

Impact 12th April 07 - Jay Lethal vs Chris Sabin. Lethal gets the win in his new gimmick which I refuse to comment on.

Gail Kim & Petey Williams vs Robert Roode & Jackie Moore. Roode got the win with help from James Storm as the 2 women spent the whole match kicking the c**p out of each other.

Lethal Lockdown advantage match - Aj Styles for Team Cage vs Samoa Joe for Team Angle. A decent match with good moves and tactics. Joe gets the win after Jeff Jarrett makes his comeback and joins Team Angle (oh dear, this spells trouble!)

Lockdown Pre-show - VKM vs Havok & Kaz of Seratonin. Kip wins against Christy Hemme's team. Yep, only 1 match in the pre-show.

Lethal Lockdown PPV 07 - X Division X-scape match. A 5 way match for the X Division title. Jay Lethal vs Sharkboy vs Alex Shelley vs Sonjay Dutt vs Chris Sabin. Alex Shelley eliminates Sharkboy. Chris Sabin eliminates Sonjay Dutt. Jay Lethal eliminates Alex Shelley. Sabin gets the win & retains his title by escaping the cage.

Petey Williams vs Robert Roode. Roode got the win after a long hard match.

Jackie Moore vs Gail Kim. Kim wins with the pin from an amazing jump off the top of the cage.

Senshi vs Austin Starr, guest ref Bob Backlund. A pretty dull mat based match where neither man did much very exciting. Senshi won in this long, boring match.

Blindfold match - James Storm vs Chris Harris. You know a fed is scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas when they pull out the very boring blindfold match. You always know at least 1 person will remove the hood and it was predictable who took it off 1st. Storm cheated the win off a superkick without his hood on.

Wrath Of X - Jerry Lynn vs Chris Daniels in his on-going heel turn which I'm quite enjoying as Daniels is always a brilliant heel. Daniels eventually got the win in this decent evenly fought match.

NWA Tag Team title match Electrified Cage Match - Team 3D vs LAX. Obviously everyone watching knows there's sod all voltage going thru that cage and West & Tenay are the only ones thinking there are. To be honest, after the HUGE build up this match got I was really surprised that not a great deal actually happened during this match. With all the play on an electric cage it wasn't used anywhere near enough, the border toss on Devon looked pathetic. I think the fans were getting bored and restless (couldn't quite make out exactly what they were chanting but it didn't sound excited or happy). Team 3d got the win and finally the titles after totally screwing up the 1st attempt at the 3d.

Main event Lethal Lockdown with special guest Harley Race as the keeper of the cage keys. Starting for Team Cage Aj Styles, and for Team Angle, Kurt Angle. Joining them for Team Cage next was Abyss. Joining them next from Team Angle was Rhyno. Joining them next from Team Cage was Tomko. Next in was Samoa Joe from Team Angle. In for Team Cage next was Scott Steiner. Team Angle's next man was Sting. The final man in for Team Cage was their Captain Christian Cage. The final man in for Team Angle was Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett passed the weapons to his team once the Lockdown started. Loved the gore by Rhyno on Tomko thru the cage door!

Angle & Styles were duking it out on top of the cage. Cage got a backfull of thumbtacks. Angle punched Styles off the top of the cage onto a whole bunch of competitors outside on the floor. Jarrett gave Abyss a guitar full of tacks over the head. Jarrett gave Sting the win by offering him the pin on Abyss. What an AWESOME match, s***ting on the competition from a very great height.
