Tonight in Nashville, there will be winners and losers inside the steel cage. The TNA Lockdown 2012 Download will be available officially on TNA On Demand streaming service. Here’s a preview of what matches are announced and predictions on the winners.
James Storm vs Bobby Rhoode TNA World Title Match
There is absolutely no question that here are two men who are both World Champion material and can carry a company. I think that the outcome of this match is not as clear as it seems. TNA has a fantastic opportunity here to give Bobby Roode the final push as the most hated champion in TNA history. If Roode win clean here AND in Tennessee, that would be something that fans will not forget for a few years.
James Storm actually has time and Roode could use a victory more. TNA could take this feud until Slammiversary and build for the long-term, a strong champion and main eventer. James Storm would benefit from a long feud with Roodes also.
A title win against a strong, almost overpowering champion is better and build more intensely for the eventual victory. My prediction is Bobby Roode, even if it’s just pure wishful thinking.
Winner: Bobby Roode

Lethal Lockdown Team Bischoff vs Team Bischoff
Lethal Lockdown, the possibility to pack people in a match and on a PPV card. Gunner, Mr. Anderson, Bully Ray, Austin Aries, Styles, Kazarian and Daniels can bring some Holy Shit spots.
It can certainly be a great match. What will happen with the Bischoffs, will it all ends in a draw and both guys go? Download TNA Lockdown 2012 to find out.
I suppose one can dream, but in the end no one will go permanently gone, as the feud will not end here, unfortunately. Eric’s team will win here however to have the victory canceled by TNA GM Hulk Hogan’s decision at Impact as the win is not clean. Then we get Bischoff vs. Bischoff round 2.
Winner: Team Eric Bischoff

Machine Guns vs Samoa Joe and Magnus
In this match, I am particularly pleased because both are outstanding team. I believe it would be a big mistake for the Champs to lose the title here, just because Samoa Joe now needs a strong run, after he had to wait almost 2 years in obscurity. It would be great if this would create a nice, long feud.
winner: Magnus and Joe

Gail Kim VS Velvet Sky
Shoots me, but I miss Karen Jarrett, the current TNA Knockout does not interest me in their promos. The match can be decent, but no anticipation for anything great here. I expect Velvet to get a proper title run this time around.
Winner: Velvet Sky
Jeff Hardy vs Kurt Angle
TNA Lockdown 2012 Download
Kurt repeatedly demonstrated that he can get out of Hardy a surprisingly good match every time. It remains to be seen how Kurt is handicapped by his injuries, I hope he will not do another moonsault off the top of the cage.
I expect this feud to continue for some time as both guys currently have nothing to “better” and will stay away from the title picture for now. I am taking this on a victory by Jeff Hardy.
Winner: Jeff Hardy
Matt Morgan vs Crimson
TNA Lockdown 2012 Download
Honestly? This match does not interests me and one can only hope this will be a short match. At least it keeps Morgan away from the main event, which we should all be grateful for.
Winner: Crimson.
