~Ring of Honor released their latest edition of the ROH Videowire a couple of days ago and it features a one-on-one interview with current ROH World Champion, Nigel McGuinness.
I thought the interview was well done and I liked the fact that they addressed pretty much all the criticisms that have been thrown at McGuinness since his title win. Plus, I think the nickname "McLariat" is pretty funny.

3/13 TNA Impact Results
~The show starts with TNA Management Director, Jim Cornette announcing the double main event for TNA’s next PPV event, Lockdown (all the matches during this event take place in a steel cage). He says TNA World Champion, Kurt Angle, will face Samoa Joe with the title on the line. Also, Cornette announces that Christian Cage and TNA Tag Team Champion, Tomko, will be captains of two 4-man teams that will face each other in a match.
-Cornette calls out both Cage and Tomko to the ring. When they get there, Cornette tells them that they have to have the names of the people on their teams in two weeks. Cage then takes the opportunity to talk some trash to Tomko, who doesn’t like that too much and the two start brawling. AJ Styles runs down to the ring to help his partner, Tomko, and then Kevin Nash comes out to help Christian Cage.
-Curry Man beats Petey Williams to qualify for the X-Division Xscape Match at Lockdown.
-Samoa Joe comes out to the ring in a suit and says he’s gonna win the TNA title at Lockdown and if he doesn’t he’ll leave TNA.
-Rellik & Black Reign defeat Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin (The Motor City Machine Guns). After the match, “Super” Eric Young comes out and clears the ring.
-Kurt Angle (minus the tube socks) submits Kaz in a non-title match.
-After the match, Karen Angle, Kurt and AJ Styles’ wife, comes to the ring and tells Kurt she wants a divorce. Kurt says that it’s a great idea because with her gone, he can focus on his title match against Samoa Joe. Wow.
-Jimmy Rave, Lance Hoyt & Christy Hemme (The Rock and Rave Infection) beat Homicide, Hernandez & Salinas (LAX)
-Gail Kim defeats Velvet Sky. Kim then gets beat on by Sky and her friend, Angelina Love.
-Kim eventually managed to get out of the ring but runs into TNA Women’s Champion, Awesome Kong, who whips the floor with her until ODB chases her off with a chair.
-Christian Cage & Kevin Nash beat AJ Styles & Tomko in a non-title match via DQ when Team 3D comes out of nowhere and just messes everything up to close out the show
You really can’t go wrong with an Angle/Joe main event, I’m looking forward to it. I hope Joe finally gets the belt.
Super Eric Young is super cheesy but for some reason, I think it’s cool.
I think the Rock and Rave Infection is also a pretty fun gimmick. Check out their Guitar Hero guitars.
I thought LAX were the #1 contenders for the TNA Tag Team titles. But, from the looks of it, AJ Styles and Tomko aren’t even going to defend the titles against them at the next PPV. And having them lose to the Rock and Rave Infection just kills all the momentum from their win at Destination X.
Despite that, Hernandez, that guy…I’ll just let the clip speak for itself.
It’s time for the weekly Kong beat-down.
No Canadian Destroyer from Petey Williams on this episode, which is a shame.
Continuing with the theme of disappointment, the Machine Guns losing to Rellik (which is “killer” spelled backwards) and Black Reign (the.worst.gimmick.ever.) was just *sigh* ridiculous. These guys should be the tag champs but instead, they can’t buy a win.
Kurt Angle’s reaction to a probable divorce was just, classic.
