Perfect Impact Reporting from Lockdown 2009

So we just finished watching Lockdown Live in Philly.

Off the top off my head I can say that the Team 3D match was almost like watching old ECW Dudlet Boys matches. I didn't get fire....but that mattered very little. The match was a brawl but great for getting the crowd into it....

The X-Division match was pretty cool....the IWGP JR Tag Title match was impressive....and Foley winning the title was pretty cool. Especially when Team 3D came out to congratulate him....I'm standing about 30 feet from Team 3D right now.

All in all it was a better than Wrestlemania.

More from the rest of the group later....

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 1 Hour!

Watching the Impact that aired on Thursday....

Spike Dudley and Balls Mahoney are at the Impact Zone....Why?!?!?!? They showed up to wish Team 3D luck at Lockdown....they had an indy show in the area....

Foley interviewing Cactus Jack is fucking amazing.....Cactus is pissed off at Foley for being lazy....Sting comes out....Sting wants to know if this is an act....MEM music hits and Foley attacks Sting....and he starts asking for random entrance music....

Spike and Balls are attacked by Beer Money.....Team 3D comes in after Balls and Spike are busted open.....they call out Beer Money....they are calling for a Philly Street Fight.....

Angle is out for the main event against a mystery opponent who is.....CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!!! And Daniels beats Angle....but Angle wants a different decision because his shoulder was up....and Jarrett does...

Next up is Lockdown....and my predictions....I DID IT!

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 2 Hours...

Watching April 9's Impact....

Sting calls out Jarrett....he wants to know why Foley was allowed to book a match between Joe and Sting.....Jarrett is the one "calling the shots" in TNA.....Sting wants a warm up match for Foley tonight.....Motorcity Machine Guns come out to the ring....Shelley calling out the fact that Foley is in charge....Shelley wants the MMG against Foley for a handicap match as a warm up for Lockdown.....

JB is with Foley....Foley is proud of the fact that Jarrett is taking the reins of the companys again....Foley says he is going to tweak the match....

A Jeff Jarrett DVD....hmmmm....not so much....

Don West is still heel marking....ironically he is talking about people discriminating against Bashir and then says that with Bashir's background he could snap....Bashir pins Suicide after a DDT on the X-Division title....

I love the blood effect on the cage in the video for Lockdown....

Rhino is offering to train the Petty Officer that came down at Destination X to become a wrestler....

The Rough Cuts with Team 3D have been pretty cool....I like shoot interviews normally and this is an interesting take on it...

Foley's tweak on the match is a First Blood Match with Sting as the special guest enforcers...and Jarrett at ringside for some reason...."Have a nice evening"??? Did he get hit with a lawsuit for the Have a Nice Day thing?

Booker talks about Sharmel being taken by Joe....

Joe's tattoo isn't real??? Damn....I guess Steiner wasn't lying about the facepaint...

The governor is Daffeney???? Cool.....

WHY ARE WE WASTING MORE FUCKING TIME ON THIS STUPID ODB DATE THING?!?!?!?!

MMG is offering to put up the IWGP Junior Tag Titles against Foley.....

Nash interferes in a match involving Beer Money and Steiner and Team 3D comes in to protect them....

Foley vs MMG....first blood match....Ref tries to stop the match because of some blood on Mr. Socko....Foley wants to bust someone open.....Sting hits Foley with a chair....which busts Foley open and the MMG win....Foley and Sting go at it....

One more episode....2 hours....I might actually get this done on the drive to the arena...

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 4:30

Part 2 from March 26....

Foley 'thought' he was protecting the life of Jarrett when he saw Sting with the guitar...lol....does this mean Foley is not doing Hardcore History anymore? :-(

So the Lethal Lockdown Captain's Gauntlet match results in Angle and Samoa Joe being captains and Joe's team wins the advantage.....so I was right that it was going to be Frontline vs MEM....

Don West is such a fucking MEM mark.....

3 more episodes left with 4.5 hours before Lockdown....

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 4:50

March 26 Impact.....

Best start ever....announcing that the title is on the line for Sting vs Foley.....not that I think Foley will win....just having it on the line is amazing....

Then announcing the Lethal Lockdown match being With the team captains being determined by a cage gauntlet match.....interesting.....though I'm 90% sure it will end up with The Frontline vs The Main Event Mafia.....especially since a large majority of the MEM is in the gauntlet......and why is Angle calling everyone jabronis? So it's going to be Angle and Jarrett as the captains since Jarrett is going to be in the match.....

Why is that Survivor winner in TNA? I still haven't gotten an answer....

You know people were chanting Fallen Angel for Suicide at Destination X.....I wonder....maybe I was wrong about it being Kaz? The match with Kiyoshi was really good....

The video package for Lockdown is amazing and showcases the talents of the TNA production team....

A little Tazz reference from Team 3D.....

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 2:50

Yep....another episode....Watching April 2 right now.....

Joe doesn't want to be the captain of the team....AJ is asked to take the reins and he says no...he says that Jarrett should be the captain....Steiner comes to the ring and starts talking about his personal relationship with Jarrett.....trying to recruit Jarrett into the Mafia....

Team 3D being challenged by the MEM security....lol....

The Foley interview with Tenay was briliant....losing his mind is always a great angle....

Yay! Another Dr. Stevie segment....A fucking I'll Show You reference!!!!!!!! All I needed was a "You'll See!" and I think I would have fucking passed out....BRILLIANT!

Team 3D beats the MEM Security and then get beat down....Beer Money comes in and saves them in an odd sense of honor and respect....I actually have more respect for them now....

MEM is in the ring and Foley is in the rafters with a barbed wire baseball bat....and he booked a match for Sting (non-title) against Samoa Joe....

I get another Dr. Stevie segment....with the Governor???

I love the video package for Lockdown...it has Christian taking so much abuse....

Maybe I will get an answer as to why there is a Survivor winner.....Nash shows up...talks to her sexy...I guess there is consideration for her investing into TNA....whatever....

The fact that watching Samoa Joe wrestle the way he is now gives me goosebumps is awesome....I don't know why it happens, but it does.....I think the irony of there being a Nation of Violence where Joe is the only member is really funny....why is a steel chair the weapon of choice for wrestlers?.....Joe takes Sharmel out of the arena.....and the episode ends.....

2 Episodes left...2 hours and 50 minutes to watch them in.....

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 5:40

My phone's email has a character limit....I didn't realize I typed that much.....Still on March 19

Samoa Joe has Bashir hanging from his feet and tells him to go back to where he comes from....HE'S FROM AMERICA....WHY DON'T PEOPLE GET THAT???? Joe beats on him with a Kendo Stick....

Gee a ref bump in the main event.....Foley chair shots Sting for the pin....I think Sting got hit harder than I thought since he thinks he got hit in the back of the head....Sting challenges Mick at Lockdown....for the title maybe???? Foley gives the best promos......Getting a little mankind on us there.....I can only hope it's for the title.....That would be great.....

Well 8 hours/4 episodes left to watch in 5 hours and 40 minutes.....

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 6 hours

I was asked to have breakfast with Danae and Keith so i lost another hour....I will get this done....March 19 on deck.....

So we get Angle and Sting vs Jarrett and Foley.....ok.....

The Motorcity Machine Guns are the IWGP Junior champs....interesting.....the match between MMG and No Limit was really good.....

Beer Money Inc vs Team 3D for the TNA and the IWGP tag tean titles at lockdown....even more interesting.....

Angle is retardedly paranoid....it is a good angle....

Is there a good reason for why Samoa Joe is facing Bashir? Not that I mind him beating on Bashir...just doesn't make sense.....

Why do the Beautiful People get so much airtime?

At least they addressed the fact that the Legends Title was fake but Booker allowed it to be defended and lost....Booker is still unintelligible...and Styles points that out.....

Why is Don West a Main Event Mafia mark?

Why is she still called the Governer? Why do I care?

Part 2 coming since my phone email has a character limit.....

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 8 Hours

Just finished watching Destination X.....

Styles wins the Legends Title from Booker.....

Ultimate X match was great as it should be....with Suicide winning the title....

Angle vs Sting was ok. A little clusterfuckey, but a decent match. Of course Angle blames Jarrett and Foley for losing....

Samoa Joe limping away saying he scarred Steiner was actually ominous.

On to the next Impact....

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 16 Hours

It's 4am and I just turned on Destination X....Which means 13 hours of programming to watch in 16ish hours....its gonna be a marathon....

Beautiful People vs other people....who cares....

Matt Morgan vs Abyss.....must have sucked to lay in those tacks for that long Abyss.....

WHY THE FUCK AM I WATCHING A DANCE OFF ON A PPV????

Dear God...JB needs a new job....

Are you fucking kidding me....15 minutes of this bullshit....

Gee what a shocker...Kong won....

Don has kind of dropped the heel angle for the time being....

Samoa Joe vs Steiner....holy shit Joe looks so vicious....

I'm about half way through Destination X when AJ Styles and Booker are going to have a match....but I am falling asleep so I think it is time to pause and come back after some sleep....

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 17:20

Still catching up.....March 12, 2009

Sting gets to pick someone and Angle gets to pick someone and they fight.....fun....of course there will be chaos....whatever....

Why is there a Survivor winner on TNA....they tried that on fucking WWE....

Don West started out not at the announce table and now he has joined it....still as a heel....

Gee...we go from The Beautiful People to My Pi Sexy?? I don't even care how to spell it....Holler...

Now I can get behind doing these montages of wrestlers during the show....but why aren't they showcasing the guy who just wrestled at the end of the next segment....

I love fast forward....since I watched episode after episode so I don't really need to watch the recaps.....

Cornette goading Booker into a match with Styles was well written...

Angle with a if you don't understand English don't come to the country....

The fact that Tenay and West keep referencing the fact that Tenay thinks people should take it to the ring and leave it in the ring makes me think that they are going to be fighting....

A talking Abyss is pretty fun to deal with....I wonder why they always gave him a handler....

Mick Foley at the announcers table because Don West walked out again....lol....

I literally laughed out loud when ODB mounted JB.....

Somehow I sincerely doubt that Foley would get laid out by a steel pipe if the man can fall off a table through a damn table....but that's the game they want to play...

You know Booker talking normal still doesn't make him any easier to understand.....

I've decided that I am going to get TNA Mobile now that it is free and once I am caught up.....

Once again....they are showing us the LAX montage video after they have finished wrestling and a whole other segment has finished.....

heh...."Rocco" from MEM security is recruited by Angle for this pick your avatar match because Angle can't get anyone else to represent him.....I could totally replace Rocco....I weight the same as him and I am bigger...

I have to get behind the fact that if Sting wins he is going to be taking over the MEM and not leaving the MEM.....it would make a better swerve....Sting could have sent "the hit" to take out Mick to make it look like it was Kurt....

Hmmm....Double J as the Guest Ref and Foley as Enforcer.....interesting.....I think that is where Sting is going to swerve and tell everyone that Jeff and Mick are working for him.....

Next up...Destination X.....13 hours left.....

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 21:30 Hours

Ok, I have 17 Hours of TNA to watch with 21:30 left before Lockdown starts.

I haven't had a whole hell of a lot of time to watch TNA between school and such.

Things to note: Don West losing it on Tenay was cool. Especially since they were discussing letting him go form the company. Though I don't know who would replace him, but that matters very little to me unless it is Michael Cole.

Angle vs Sting in the empty arena was....odd. I mean it apparently got huge ratings, but it wasn't that great. It was a little different, but that was about it. I love the fact that they are fucking with the MEM while they are still a fairly fresh faction. It makes it seem like they aren't too invested in the outcome of it.

Joe showing up with a knife at Steiner's throat was fun. I also think it is funny that they have only been showing his profile that doesn't have the tattoo.

Suicide wanting the X-Division title is interesting.....He moves a lot like Kaz....maybe....

I love the recaps of Ultimate X matches.

And Foley having the Hardcore Rememberings is great.....makes me want to go find some of the things that he is talking about.....

Dan West being a heel is kind of cool.....

Petey Williams losing the Beer Money match and being let go was disappointing. I hope that he is moving on to something else like ROH or something.....

I didn't care about Lance Rock....

The mini interviews with the rasslers is cool....

James Storm slapping Roode in the ass and then coming back to slap Jackie was funny....

Booker losing the stupid accent is great.....

The Spend the Night with ODB contest is weird.....and creepy.....

I think the MEM track suits is stupid....them coming out in suits was cool.....

There is so much talking now in TNA....I remember when there was like 5 minutes of talking and tons of wrestling....why when they switched to 100% more television time did they switch to 350% more talking?

I just saw a sign saying "Bring Back Sabu".....

I hope that we get a Don West vs Mike Tenay match in the future.....

The Nation Of Violence idea is pretty cool.....

Arresting Styles.....hmmmm.....and then Don trying to sell it as serious is silly....though Tenay saying that you should settle these things in the ring...that is funny....I always wondered how wrestling organizations put over the fact that the wrestlers were willing to forego assault charges just to get in a ring with they guy who assaulted them.....

Oh yeah....the Dr. Stevie segments are great.....I hope that Dr. Stevie turns out to be Stevie Richards.....that would be cool.....

I think it is funny that Cornette took back the title belt from Booker T...the 'rightful holder' of a fake championship that TNA has decided to honor......

The fact that Beer Money Inc is playing stupid is pretty funny.....they actually almost thought that Team 3D was referring to some other tag team besides them.....

That was mostly from March 5......

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up: Against All Odds 2009

So Mobile blogging sucks....I gotta figure out a better solution...

So the first 3 hours of my last 24 is Against All Odds. Here goes.....

So Petey Williams vs Scott Steiner....how can they justify not letting Williams actually fight someone he can properly showcase his talents against?

Steiner hits a Steiner Screwdriver ..... Who thought it was a good idea to let Steiner potentially cripple Petey?

So AJ Styles is back....I barely noticed he was gone.....

How did Matt Morgan have a streph infection in his shoulder?

Ok, the four way match for the Heavyweight Title was pretty bad. Sting wins with a Scorpion Death Drop on Bubba Ray that had a horrible set up.

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up that was from Twitter

My Loudtwitter shipping isn't working again. So here is everything from the last 2 days I have been Twittering. I have 24 Hours of TNA programming left...2 PPVs and 9 Impacts to go....

5. For the record, Jarrett did not get either of his shoulders up after the Angle Slam because his shoulder blades were down. 3:28 AM Apr 14th from txt

6. That was such a bad roll through to give Angle the win I almost think it was genuine. 3:30 AM Apr 14th from txt

7. Lol. A 6 way count-out. How could Cornette not have the authority to restart a match if he is the commish? *Shrug*3:48 AM Apr 14th from txt

8. I want a flaming tack glass table. . . . . and of course I don't get it. 3:50 AM Apr 14th from txt

10. Watching the TNA Impact from January 15. . . . curtain jerking a Heavyweight Title Match?12:37 PM Apr 14th from txt

11. I forgot I was right in front of a computer. . . . . easier to type here. . . . 12:44 PM Apr 14th from web

12. Trying to recreate the NWO is a bad idea. . . did TNA need a "heel" faction to get everyone to rally against?12:46 PM Apr 14th from web

13. Well yeah of course it helps. . . . but this is the NWO, tactics and all. . . . just not as original. . . . 12:47 PM Apr 14th from web

14. So Kip is back to being "Cute Kip". . . . fun. . . . 1:39 PM Apr 14th from web

15. Ok, watching the January 29 Impact and the fact that Main Event Mafia has taken over is brilliant. 1:51 AM Apr 15th from txt

16. Booker and Nash commentating is a beautiful thing. Steiner as the ring announcer is funny. 1:52 AM Apr 15th from txt

17. Crap. The best part of the whole episode was the commentary. I'd rather listen to Booker as Black Snow than Don West (or Michael Cole)about 23 hours ago from txt

18. So it went from great entertainment to talking about tough cowboys. . . . with just a little cameo from James Storm. . . :-( about 23 hours ago from txt

19. I think it is sad that now I am speeding through the rest of the show. . . . I would be listening to every word from Chet Lemon and Black Snow. about 23 hours ago from txt

You know what would be great?

If Loudtwitter would do what I set it up to do. I have a bunch of Twitter messages that should have been shipped over to this blog and they weren't.....hopefully I can get this resolved soon.

What did Diabolik do today?

What did Diabolik do today?

23:30 Al Snow in TNA? Interesting....

22:15 Just finished the November 27 2008 TNA Impact. The last 5 minutes made the show worth watching....

Diabolik's TNA Wrestling Catch-Up Turning Point 2008

Yeah so the PPV starts out with the cut down version of the montage recapping the Respect issues....the MEM come out of a limo and everyone walks past JB...except Steiner who decides to talk...dear god...at least he is 85% understandable....

So there is a X-Division ranking match....I just wonder if they are actually going to stick with it and use the rankings rather than just give shots to whomever might want a shot....I always thought that was the best approach...give someone a shot at a title, if they lose they move to the bottom....if they win the former champ gets a rematch and then the loser of that moves to the bottom....now the irony is that the Motor City Machine Guns are not in the match because they have a Tag Team Title Shot....but they really should be unless they are not doing singles stuff anymore...I love the fact that Eric Young beat Jay Lethal to take the top spot in the X-Division and get a title shot...he really showcased a lot of ability in this match...not a bad promo from Eric Young....when he is serious it can be intense...though I like him more jovial....

It's funny that they would have the Motor City Machine Guns disrespect Mick Foley by telling him they don't care about his accomplishments....are we getting another factions splitting from the New Blood...I mean TNA Originals?

So the end result of this whole rigamaroll is that The Main Event Mafia won every match...shocker.....

Whatever...silliness....there you go....
