Last night at TNA Lockdown Mick Foley became the new TNA Champion after collecting a surprise victory over Sting in the main event.
The match itself was a memorable one, which combined old style in ring work and story telling from the two veterans, along with typical Foley style bloodshed – which did in fact result in him needing 27 stitches after the match.
The attending crowd were pleased with the result, with “you’ve still got it” chants echoing around the arena. There is no doubt that Foley will savour this championship just as much as the one he won from The Rock in the WWE over a decade ago.
The pay per view itself proved that TNA can indeed pull off a good and enjoyable pay per view, unlike what many of the recent shows have been. The never ending run-ins and swerves were gone and in their place, good and enjoyable surprises!
Along with the Foley victory, former WWE star Bobby Lashley made his debut for the company, brining in an extra worker of note to the company. Jeff Jarrett and Dixie Carter announced that Lashley would indeed by working a full time schedule in the company, alongside his MMA commitments.
As well as that before the lethal lockdown match, Samoa Joe was seen talking to somebody with a towel over their head, which is certainly likely to be revealed as Tazz!
Team 3D, Brothers Ray and Devon struck back at their critics who refer to them as over weight and clinging onto their past glories with a superb match against Beer Money, in a performance that stands up alongside their efforts in ECW and WWE.
In the Lethal Lockdown match Jeff Jarrett’s team defeated that of Kurt Angle when AJ Styles pinned Booker T.
