Memories are a bit hazy, so it may be out of order.

SPOILERS February 21 (U.S.)/Feb. 24 (U.K.)

(1) Rockstar Spud beat Robbie E. when Robbie T. wouldn't give Robbie the clipboard. A tug of war ensued and Spud rolled up Robbie for an upset. E. slapped T., then E. ran away when Big Rob hulked up.

(2) X Division champion Rob Van Dam beat Kenny King to retain the X Division Title. RVD won via five-star frogsplash.

(3) James Storm & Chavo Guerrero & Hernandez & Joseph Park beat Bad Intentions & TNA tag champions Bobby Roode & Austin Aries in an eight-man tag match.The heel team didn't get along, leading to Roode and Aries walking out. This led to a bunch of finishers on poor Kaz and Daniels. Chavo picked up the win after a big splash from Park on Kaz.

(4) Samoa Joe beat Garett Bischoff via DQ. Wes Brisco interfered, leading to Angle coming out and evening up the teams. He then announced it was him vs. Brisco at Lockdown.

Hogan came out and named Bully Ray as no. 1 contender. Ray came out shocked and noted he had partially torn his quad muscle. He had an idea of he, Hogan, and Sting against three members of Aces & Eights later on. Hogan accepted.

(4) Velvet Sky pinned Gail Kim in a four-way match also involving Miss Tessmacher and KO champion Tara to win the Knockouts Title. This was an elimination match, though I don't think this was announced. Gail firstly beat Tara, Velvet rolled up Tessmacher, and then finally Velvet hit her sit-out pedigree to win.

(5) Mr. Anderson & D.O.C. & Devon beat Hogan & Sting & Bully Ray in a six-man tag match. Hogan no-showed when his music played, making this a handicap match. As Bully and Sting were taking advantage, the other Aces & Eights members brought out Brooke and Hulk. Hulk had taken a beating. Bully then came to their aid, leaving Sting to fall victim to a big boot from D.O.C. for the win.

Afterward, the locker room emptied to save Sting as all Aces & Eights members beat him down.

Overall, really good fun double set of tapings. Currently set for Lockdown is Hardy vs. Bully for the TNA Title, Angle vs. Brisco, and Team TNA vs. Team A&E in Lethal Lockdown.
