As reported earlier, Angelina Love suffered a concussion following an errant blow on the part of Taylor Wilde during her match at the Lockdown pay-per-view. The newly crowned TNA Women's Knockout Champion has posted a blog on her MySpace account (www.myspace.com/angel_williams14) thanking fans who wrote to see if she was okay, not to mention those congratulating her for her championship win at Lockdown. Love also posted an update regarding the ordeal:
"In an update, I did receive a concussion from Taylor Wilde's top rope crossbody. Guess thats her payback for us cutting her hair! I caught her hip bone in my jaw and it knocked me clean out. Unfortunately, I dont even remember winning! When I watch it back, I'll be able to try and put the pieces of my scrambled brains back together! and my jaw!"
Former WWE Tag Team champion Paul London was backstage at the Impact tapings on Tuesday. He was slated to debut with TNA as part of a team with The Amazing Red, who is a former X-Division champion, but it was canceled and London is no longer expected to work for TNA. After tonights taping, one TNA source felt London had probably lost his spot in the company, but things can always change. TNA management was not happy with the way the situation went down, although there arent many details on what exactly did go down.
Theres no word on where this may leave Red in regards to his future in TNA.
Three-time WWE World Tag Team Champion Trevor Murdoch debuted at tonight's Impact taping in Orlando, which is currently ongoing.
This is actually his return to the company as he appeared on the initial TNA pay-per-views in 2002 as part of a tag team called The Dupps.
As part of last year's WWE Supplemental Draft, Murdoch was drafted to the SmackDown brand. However, he was released on July 3, 2008 before he could make his debut on the blue brand. Since his departure from the company, he's been competing on the independent circuit as well as overseas.
You will be able to catch Murdoch's return to TNA on Thursday's episode of Impact.
In addition, former TNA talent Amazing Red is rumored to be returning to the company. Sources close to Red have stated that he too has spoken with the company, and a deal is being worked out to bring him back.
The word going around is that former WWE Tag Team Champion Paul London may be debuting with TNA in the very near future. Sources are claiming that the two sides have spoken and that a deal is expected to be reached.
- TNA Knockouts Champion Angelina Love suffered a concussion after catching Taylor Wildes flying bodypress at the Lockdown pay-per-view this past Sunday. Angelina will likely be featured in non-wrestling segments at the Impact tapings this week.
According to a new report by Dave Meltzer, former ECW and WWE star Taz is coming to TNA and the company will continue to slowly tease it. There were reports this weekend that his deal with WWE was different since it was an announcer contract and it prevents him from making appearances for other TV entities for a while.
The arena was abotu 3/4 full. The hard camera side was practically empty. But they did have a full section taped off for the production crew.
Before the PPV Dixie Carter was in the crowd greeting fans and getting pics taken with the world title (which is very heavy).
My seats were accross from the hard camera about 10 rows up fromt he floor. and I got some pretty good pics with my DSLR. I got stuck with seats right infront of a stereotypical redneck and an stereo typical "yelling at the movie screen" black man, and the two of them seemed to hit it off great and were bets of friends by the 2nd match.
Tenay got some mixed reaction and West got some decent heat.
Danny Bonaduchie messed up several times and had the crappiest swanton/somersault off the to rope, and botched a small package by E.Y.
The Pyros were freakin loud!
The X division match was great, and the ending dive by Suicide to the outside on Kiyoshi hot a "Holy Sh*t!" or "That was awesome" chant... cant remember which.
Madison Raine got some boos. Sojo Bolt barely got any reaction. Daffney goot a goot reaction. ODB is pretty over, the people behind me were amazed at the size of her boobs.
LAX & MCM are way over with the fans. LAX came out first and got lots of cheers. MCM got even more after they won.
Matt Morgan is HUGE. The ref made the blad jobs very obvious, diggin in his pockets and laying in front of Abyss, who took forever to blade. After the ref bump the ref dug in his pockets and pulle dhte blade and morgan rolled over and picked it up and bladed. Stevie got a great pop and "ECW" chant.
Taylor Wilde was not over, but Angelina Love & Velvet Sky were. Kong's flip of the top rope got a "Holy Sh*t" chant. They must have tied Kong's hair pretty well, It took a few mins, they barely got her untangled before the next introductions started.
Beer Money got a good pop, but Team 3D's was deafening! Ray and D-Von entered thru the crowd. The crowd was just pleading for a 3D through a table. After the match, Team 3D thanked the fans that made them famous afterwards and were all smiles.
Angle wore black & gold with his trunks, which added to his heat in with the Philly crowd. The video screen froze during Angle's entrance. Daniel's got a great pop. Booker T's Spinaroonie got a loud pop than his entrance. AJ was over. So was Steiner. Aftere his franketeiner got a good pop, he flicked off the fan and yelled "f*ck you!" several times, yet after the match while walked up the ramp, he and Nash got cheers and Steiner acknowledged them, since he was off camera. The crowd is horrible and counting down dispite the huge countdown ont he screen. I havnt noticed Joe's entrane video since he got his new look, but it was very Taz-esqe, and he was abotu 1 min late for his entrace, whcih I later read he was getting "instructions" Joe came otu with a black towel over his head which I heard many people scream "it's Taz!". (I may have been one of them.) Nash is ofcourse, very tall. Jarrett was mostly over. Joe did many Taz-like moves and Jarrett played with the crowd as if he was goign to hit AJ with the guitar. Afterwards Joe teased he was goign to hit Jarret as he left the ring. And I think he sat in one of the corners practically all match. AJ's leap tru the top of the cage got a huge reaction with a "Holy Sh*t" chant, i believe.
Foey was way over. So was Sting. I dont think anyone really expected Foley to come out the champ. I think he may have disloacted knee cap or somehting he was banging on it pretty hard after a move and walked on it very gingerly.
Team 3D came down and congratulated Foley. Foley thanked the crowd and TNA for giving him one more rememberable moment in Philly with the great fans. He said a few yrs ago he was gettign ready to wrestle in front of 64,000 fans at a PPV, but longed to be infront of the 900 at the old ECW arena. Ray said since the Phillies had tshirts for winning the world series, they had tshirts to celebrate their 22nd tag title reign. There was a limit of 400 shirts and Team 3D signed auto graphs afterwards.
Some guys were out front selling unlicened Lockdown & Mania shirts for $15.
One of the better PPVs I think, maybe it was because I saw it live. The only let down of the night was Bobby Lashley.
Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com is reporting that Bobby Lashley has NOT yet signed a contract with TNA Wrestling.
According to Meltzer, Lashley appeared at TNA Lockdown on Sunday night as a way of getting both sides acquainted with each other. If Lashley ends up signing with TNA, his goal would be to do TNA on a limited schedule and continue with his MMA career at the same time. Since TNA only tapes TV a few times a month, Lashley would probably be able to keep doing MMA while making his TNA appearances.
Three TNA stars in Matt Morgan, Awesome Kong and Taylor Wilde were involved in an automobile accident on Friday night near the TNA hotel in Philadelphia, reports The Sun. Their SUV was rear-ended by a vehicle traveling at 40-50 MPH during a left turn. Morgan and Kong reportedly hit their heads on the windshield during the collision and were later checked out by medical personnel. All three individuals were okay enough to appear at last night's Lockdown pay-per-view.
- Despite his loss last night, Sting's TNA World Heavyweight Championship reign was the longest reigning run for any champion since TNA launched their own "World title" in May of 2007. This was also the longest singles title reign in his illustrious career.
- On the Lockdown preshow, Eric Young defeated Danny Bonaduce. After the bout, Bonaduce attacked Young, but "The War Machine" Rhino came to his aid and hit the GORE on Bonaduce!
- Suicide retained the X Division Championship in the Xscape Match by beating Consequences Creed, Black Machismo, Sheik Abdul Bashir and Kiyoshi
- ODB won the Queen Of The Cage Match, beating Madison Rayne, Sojo Bolt and Daffney
- The Motor City Machinguns successfully defended the New Japan Jr. Tag Team Championship against the Latin American Xchange and No Limit
- "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan defeated Abyss in the Doomsday Chamber Of Blood match, which also saw the TNA debut of "Dr. Stevie" Stevie Richards! Richards refused to let Abyss use weapons during the bout, leading to Morgan getting the win!
- Angelina Love became the new Knockout Women's Champion by beating Awesome Kong and Taylor Wilde when she pinned Wilde following a big boot from Kong, who was trapped in the corner after the Beautiful People tied her braids to the cage.
- Team 3D (in their big return to Philly!) defeated Beer Money, Inc in the Philly Street Fight to become the new TNA World Tag Team Champions, their 22nd Title Reign! Check out Team 3D's new limited commemorative shirt at ShopTNA.com celebrating the win!
- Team Jarrett defeated Team Angle in the Lethal Lockdown Match, which at one point saw AJ Styles jump down through the roof of the cage in a daredevil dive onto the other participants below! Samoa Joe also questioned Jeff Jarrett's allegiance during the bout. However, Jarrett answered when he had both Styles and Booker T lined up for a guitar shot - and he smashed Booker, allowing AJ to get the pin and the win for his team.
- After the match, the lights in the arena went out and a video played introducing Bobby Lashley to TNA! Lashley came out and Kurt Angle was shown laughing in the ring! Is there some kind of connection between Lashley and Angle?
- Mick Foley became the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion by defeating "The Icon" Sting in the bloody and chaotic main event. Foley tried to use his barbed-wire bat at one point, but Sting avoided it. In the end, both Foley and Sting raced to climb over the top of the cage to escape, with Foley hitting the canvas first to win the championship!
In an interview with The Times & Transcript's Eric Lewis in Canada, Trish Stratus had this to say about the WWE Women's Division:
"It is disappointing. I think what it is, they have too many women. And I think they can't even see who's who because there's so many of them. I think they need someone maybe that can focus on the women."
Bobby Lashley arrived backstage at TNA Lockdown on Sunday night at about 10:00 PM Eastern, just moments before his debut with the company. The former ECW World Champions debut was kept a big secret by everyone in TNA, with his late arrival to the building being the ultimate way to prevent spoilers from leaking to the net. Lashley appeared at the top of the entrance ramp at the conclusion of the Lethal Lockdown match while everyone in the ring looked on with shock, except M.E.M. front man Kurt Angle who was smiling.
- As far as the other World Champion TNA promised, they did say they would begin to unlock the identity of that person at tonights show. It looks like they were indeed teasing Taz. Before Samoa Joe came out to the Lockdown match, he was seen backstage speaking to someone getting what Mike Tenay called, last minute instructions for the match. Joe hit the ring and nailed a series of various suplexes - most of them being the signature suplexes of former ECW World Champion Taz.
