HeadLocker — Jay Shannon
My Lockdown 2010 Predictions
Our resident philosopher, Jay Shannon, breaks out the crystal ball, tea leaves and lucky coin to try to figure out TNA’s All-Steel Cage Pay-per-view.
OK, I hate this Pay-per-view. The cage usually blocks a lot of the action and we are at the mercy of the camerament to shoot between the links to see the fighting. Wide-angle shots are pretty much out of the question. Grumble.
Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, let’s look at this Gimmick PPV. Some of the matches aren’t half bad. Some are completely awful.
The Katz Files
Lockdown Preview & Predictions
The Kingfish Arnie Katz gets you ready for TNA’s April pay per view with an entire card conducted inside the cage.
Lockdown, one of TNA’s better gimmick ideas, comes as the promotion is seeing some glimmers of hope. The last two PPVs got good critical notice, if not strong buy-rates, and the 1.1 rating for the second hour on the 4/12 iMPACT is also a positive sign.
Let’s look at the matches:

Funk’s Corner (by Dory Funk Jr.)
Gene Kiniski, “Give Him Hell Kid”
Giant Gene Kiniski caught me with a double leg pick-up and spun me around in a “Giant Swing” (Grabbed me by the ankles and spun me 360 degrees around and around). I could see the ring light at the Amarillo Sports Arena spinning overhead then I nearly passed out but came to as Gene slowed the Giant Swing and dropped me to the mat. Gene jumped on top of me with a rear chin lock and said, “Here comes your mother, kid. She is coming to help you. Dorothy is coming to ringside.”
