Lockdown 2010

Lockdown opens with the announcement the Douglas Williams is stuck in the UK and as such has been stripped of the title. They also note that Syxx-Pac and Eric Bischoff are not at Lockdown.

The show opens with Rob Van Dam taking on James Storm for the numbers advantage in Lethal Lockdown. My Prediction: Although I’d like to see RVD win, I predict a victory for James Storm, giving Team Flair the advantage.
Storm appears to be hesitant to enter the cage and RVD dropkicks the door into his face. RVD dominates Storm on the outside slamming him into the cage and the guard rails repeatedly. He drapes Storm across a guard rail and leaps off the side of the cage with a leg drop to Storm. Storm finally manages to gain an advantage by slamming RVD’s head into the ring steps. RVD hits a spin kick to Storm in the corner. RVD sends Storm into the corner, and hits an inverted atomic drop. RVD sets Storm up on the top ring rope and knocks him off with a sidekick off the top rope. RVD goes for his rolling monkey flip, but Storm moves and RVD gets caught up on the ropes. Storm pulls RVD off the ropes and slams him to the mat. Storm and RVD fight and Storm clotheslines RVD over the top rope into the cage. RVD fights back and hits a spinning kick on Storm. RVD and Storm trade blows and Storm gets sent into the cage. RVD hits a front slam and hits the split legged moonsault, but only gets a 2 count. Storm spits beer in RVD’s eyes and nails him with a DDT for a 2 count. Storm misses the Last Call and RVD misses his first kick attempt, but follows up with a spinning kick. RVD goes up top and hits the 5 Star Frog Splash. He covers Storm to earn the 3 count.

Move of the Match: This has to go to the 5 Star Frog Splash for this match.

Christy Hemme is in the back with Hogan and Hogan says that Team Hogan is going to go out to Lethal Lockdown and tear down the house. Christy asks him about Bischoff and he says Eric will be Eric and he’s done worrying about it.

The tag team match has been changed to a four man Xscape match with the winner taking the third spot in the X Division Title Match. My prediction for the tag match was that the Guns would win, so if Sabin or Shelley wins the Xscape match we’ll call the prediction correct, and if Kendrick or Homicide wins, we’ll call it incorrect.

Homicide tries to climb out immediately, but the Guns stop him. Kendrick goes over and tries to stop them from locking the door so he can make an easy exit, but gets caught with a dropkick from one of the guns. Shelley tries to climb out, but Kendrick stops him. Inverted atomic drop from Shelley to Homicide. Dropkick to the knee from Sabin. Shelley holds Homicide’s head, and Sabin hits the low dropkick to the face. Kendrick gets wishboned and a double kick from the guns. Shelley tries to hold Kendrick while Sabin climbs up, but Kendrick kicks him into the ropes causing Sabin to fall. Homicide nails Shelley with a spin kick and Kendrick hits a low dropkick to a grounded Sabin. Belly to belly by Homicide on Shelley while Kendrick chokes Sabin. Homicide gets a camel clutch on Sabin and Kendrick builds some momentum, and then hits Sabin with a vicious slap. Shelley starts to fight back. He catches both Kendrick and Homicide. Sabin hits an enzuigiri on Homicide and Shelley drops back with a DDT on Kendrick and a complete shot on Homicide. Poetry in Motion forearm on Homicide. The Guns follow up with a second Poetry in Motion back elbow driving him into the corner. A kick from Kendrick drops Shelley, but when he goes after Sabin, he ends up taking a springboard tornado DDT. Sabin gets caught with a neckbreaker from Homicide. Homicide goes after Shelley, but Shelley catches him with a knee facebuster. Shelley tries to climb up, but Kendrick catches him. Sabin comes to his aid and they try to set up for Made in Detroit, but Kendrick kicks Sabin off. Sabin goes after Kendrick, but Kendrick hits a big kick to Sabin and Homicide catches Sabin and hits the Gringo Killa. Homicide signals for a double super back suplex on Shelley, but when Kendrick goes to set up, Homicide climbs up the other side and escapes the cage to win.

Move of the Match: This is hard to call, but I’d have to give it to the Inverted Atomic Drop/Dropkick to knee/Inverted STF/Dropkick to face combo from the Guns. For single moves, however, the winner would be the Gringo Killa.

Eric Young taking on Kevin Nash is next. My prediction: Nash picks up the win (possibly off a distraction from the Band or Bubba the Love Sponge.)

EY and Nash trade blows with EY trying to use his speed and Nash trying to use his power. EY hits a missile dropkick on Nash. Nash rolls out to the apron, but when he stands, EY dropkicks him into the side of the cage. EY follows up with a crossbody sending Nash into the cage again. EY goes to set Nash up for a piledriver, but the referee gets in his way. EY pushes the referee aside and Nash nails him with a low blow. EY keeps taunting Nash to bring the fight, but all it does is make Nash madder. EY starts to fight back, but runs into a chokeslam from Nash. EY starts to fight back again, but when he creates distance, he turns around and runs into a big boot from Nash. Nash picks up EY and slams him face first into the cage. Nash hits EY with the Jackknife Powerbomb and covers for the win.

Move of the Match: The Jackknife Powerbomb from Nash.

Post match, Nash says he’ll be Scott Hall’s partner in the match against 3D.

Madison hits a jawbreaker on Angelina and Angelina tags in Tara. Tara goes after Madison. Madison rakes Tara’s eyes and tags in Velvet. Velvet gets caught with a drop toe hold from Tara.

Move of the Match: Kazarian’s sick piledriver on Homicide. I’ve seen that sort of move before, and it’s always impressive to watch someone hit any variation of it.

Brother Ray says this match won’t be a cage match. It’s going to be a St. Louis Street Fight in which Falls Count Anywhere. The two teams brawl from the start.

Up next is Mr. Anderson and Kurt Angle in action. My Prediction: Seeing as Lockdown would be a great place to end this feud, I see Angle picking up the win.

They announce that this match can only be won by escaping the cage. Anderson and Angle trade blows and Anderson gains the advantage with a dropkick to the knee.

Earl Hebner orders Flair to the back for this match. “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles vs. “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero. My Prediction: AJ retains, probably by escaping the cage, but possibly by getting the pin on Pope.

Move of the Match: The Superman Splash always impresses, but I’ve got to give this to Pope’s DDE Facebuster simply due to the way it looked and how AJ sold the move.
