Despite the burnout of every match being in a cage, Lockdown has been one of their strongest shows in the past.
I'm looking forward to Roode and Storm just because they will work very hard to have a good match.

Lockdown's usually a good show (and honestly one of the few TNA shows that are actually worth buying). Storm-Roode, Angle-Hardy, & Bully Ray-Aries should all be good matches.
I think the problem TNA always runs into is that WrestleMania pretty much cuts their legs out from under them for 3 weeks and then you have to re-build all these programs in two weeks. If they were smart they would push Lockdown up to the last Sunday of April or the first Sunday in May to give it some space away from Mania.

Lockdown has been TNAs best PPV for the past 5 or so years IMO.
I'm looking forward to Hardy vs Angle
Does anyone know if it is in Impact zone or is it on the road?

Lockdown should be a very solid show. As many have said, it usually is. Lockdown, for me, never seems to fall under a 7/10 range for a show. I don't know if it's ever been a 10/10 AMAZING show or anything, but it's always delivers a good 3-hour PPV.

Lockdown has some good matches booked, but the cage thing wears thin on me and at some point they run out of spots to do. In previous years they've used way too much blood to the point where it's actually hurt my enjoyment of the show. Blood can be effective like this past week with Cena, but it can also be stupid (ref Matt Morgan basically bludgeoning Abyss with a shard of glass, wtf).
I like that there's knockouts matches in the cage, just feels a little different. But the most pointless exercise EVERYTIME is the "Lethal Lockdown" how stupid is this. Let's put in a couple teams that have little or no feud ongoing in a cage. Then lets bring them in at intervals, but stipulate that it's a single fall match, but ALSO stipulate that no finish can take place prior to the cage being roofed and weapons introduced. At least if it were elimination style you could have someone take an advantage prior to the weapons coming in. Not only that having all those guys in such a small space with weapons just becomes an unholy mess.
Team Bischoff vs Team...other Bischoff? Ugh shoot me now.

I think it may be good , but when I think this way it usually isn't .Crimson Morgan I am not looking forward to or Bischoff name vs career or name again whatever the hell it is about . Hope Roode retains with underhanded tactics.

I wish both teams would lose the Lethal Lockdown match so then we can be rid of both Bischoffs.

Damn I didn't know the full card, I was looking forward to this until seeing Crimson vs Matt Morgan listed. Well hopefully the can be comically bad again at least.

In the who cares category, I'm wondering who they let win the Crimson vs. Morgan match and how the finish will be. Neither of these guys really deserve a push. Will they continue the oh so important win streak for Crimson? No matter who wins it just doesn't excite me. I can't see any heel turn for Morgan because Crimson doesn't come over well as a face. If I had to make a guess, I'll say Crimson wins by pulling Morgan's tights.

Does anyone expect a run-in by Bully Ray to screw over Roode to set up a new feud in the Bully Ray push?

My Picks:
“The Blueprint” Matt Morgan vs. Crimson Winner: Crimson
TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP: Robbie E vs. Devon Winner: Devon
KNOCKOUTS CHAMPIONSHIP: Velvet Sky vs. Gail Kim Winner: Gail Kim
WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: Motorcity Machine Guns vs. The JoeNus Bros. Winner: The JoeNus Brothers (I wouldn't be surprised at a full heel turn from Joe & Magnus after the match to keep the fued going for at least another month)
“The Charismatic Enigma” Jeff Hardy vs. Kurt Angle Winner: Jeff Hardy
LETHAL LOCKDOWN: Team Eric Bischoff vs. Team Garett Bischoff Winner: Team Eric (Eric's still a much more valuable TV character than the Magic Man at this point)
TNA World Heavyweight Championship Bobby Roode vs. “Cowboy” James Storm Winner: “Cowboy” James Storm wins in a 4-star classic!
