Lethal Lockdown Match
Team Angle (Kurt Angle, Booker T, Scott Steiner, & Kevin Nash) vs. Team Jarrett (Jeff Jarrett, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, & Christopher Daniels)
Winner: Team Jarret
Twist: After the match the lights go out as Team Jarrett stands in the ring. Music plays and here comes Bobby Lashley. Lashley looks to the ring and the lights go back out.
TNA Championship Match
Sting (c) vs. Mick Foley
Winner: Mick Foley (New Champion)
I'm worried for TNA. Foley is champion...that's not good. On the plus side for them. Angelina Love is Knockout Champ, finally someone other than Awesome Kong. And Christopher Daniels is back, plus Bobby Lashley just showed up. But Foley as champion...oh god.

I am ALL for Mick, but what a god-awful decision to put the belt on him. The mans barely in a condition to wrestle, nevermind actually carry the belt.
As for Lashley..meh. Kinda shoulda figured he'd go to TNA one day.

Wait, so the best belt in their company is on a guy who said he wouldnt wrestle much. The ppv looked great as a whole but that just ruined it, lol they should just scrap the belt.
Lashley turning up is a fucking huge surprise. He's doing great in MMA and i dont know why he'd want to go to TNA.

he's in TNA cause I believe it is not to far from his training camp and also he can keep training for MMa while doing some small TNA matches.
However, I think he should stay focused on MMA. He was doing great and one or two more fights (he needs real good ones) and he could be in UFC actually fighting some good guys.

While I doubt TNA pay is anything near WWE pay, it's probably consistent. And that might be a reason he's there. Because I don't know how consistent or good MMA money is when you're not really big yet.

Whats with everybody saying putting the belt on Foley is a bad idea? I'm relieved to see Foley have the belt because I was getting so sick of seeing Sting with it. Plus after Sting beat Kurt Angle for the belt, who like never loses, who else could he logically lose it too? Foley, the guy that's had very few matches in TNA.
Plus with the frame of mind Foley is supposedly in, in TNA putting him inside of a cage against Sting would completely play to Foley's advantage. However, I can't see Foley's reign lasting an incredibly long amount of time, because with the guys gimmick, all he should really be good at fighting in is hardcore, super violent matches, and if he were put into a normal wrestling match, he should have almost no chance especially against a guy like Angle, Joe, or Styles.

I agree that having the belt off Sting is good. I've felt he should have lost it since January. Angle's had more than one shot at it, and should have defeated him for it, Sting can't produce consistently good matches anymore. He's too hurt. Now I'll only condone having Foley as champion if it's transitional, which I hope it is. If this is the only way they'll take the title off of Sting and get it on someone good like Angle, AJ, Joe, Daniels, someone. Then so be it. I just hope it doesn't take too long.

On the subject of Lashley, from what I know he's still going to be heavily involved in MMA. The reason he turned up at TNA is unsure recently, but the best guess is that he signed a short-term deal with them. And Archangel is right in that, since his training camps close to where they tape, he can continue training for MMA while making appearances for TNA. But yeah..apparently ESPN absolutely ripped Lashley for appearing on TNA.
And the thing is, Sterling, that the gimmick matches take even more energy to pull off than Singles wrestling. Foleys been going at it for years now..ECW, WCW, NJPW, WWE, TNA..I have, and always will be, a fan of Foley, but the man is getting on, and he's taken god-knows-how-many insane bumps, and I don't want to see a headline for a premature Foley death anytime soon. Foley hasn't run out of steam yet, but the trains getting too damn close to the station

Yes, it takes more energy to pull off a gimmick match. But less skill. Foley can take hits like there's no tomorrow, but when it comes to pulling off a great technically sound match, he just can't anymore. Not that he was Mr. Technical before, but still. While it takes more energy, it takes less skill.

Foley hasn't run out of steam yet, but the trains getting too damn close to the station My response wasn't based off of "how good is Mick Foley as a wrestler" it was more of a kayfabe response as to why having Foley win the belt was a good idea and how it was better to have him defeat Sting opposed to anybody else. I'm not going to try to say Foley is the best wrestler ever, but I'd certainly prefer him holding the belt opposed to Nash, Steiner, or even Joe again to be honest. |

Joe I would prefer. I think, were he as good as he used to be, I'd love Nash as champion. Actually, I think I'd love seeing Nash have a title run instead of Foley or Sting at all. Maybe that's just me though. What I really want to see is for Daniels and/or AJ to get a title run. That's a World Title feud I want. AJ and Daniels. Have one turn heel and go to MEM, probably AJ. Then he feuds with Daniels who is leading Frontline.

The thing is when Joe had the title TNA did a shit job of making him look good whilst he had it. I think either Joe, AJ or daniels should be given a shot with it and have this MEM feud over.

I'm not a big fan of the MEM feud either. But my brother mentioned the other day having AJ join them. And if they feel it necessary to keep the feud going, I think he's right and that's what should happen. They need to have someone who's good and who people care about in MEM. Because right now it's basically Angle + Some old guys who can't wrestle anymore.
