THE MONSTER BLOG: BY ABYSS

It's "The Monster Blog", a weekly column by TNA Wrestling superstar "The Monster" Abyss! Check back each week for a new entry from Abyss:

Well everyone, the teams are set and let the war begin!! Thats right, both of the teams in the Lethal Lockdown match at Lockdown have been announced. As a matter of fact, they were both revealed at last Monday’s Impact on Spike. Team Flair once again could not help themselves and interupted our in ring interview last Monday only to reveal to Jeff Jarrett, Hulk Hogan and myself that their team was in fact completed. Standing alongside of Flair and part of Team Flair will be Desmond Wolfe, Beer Money (James Storm and Robert Roode), and the icon Sting. Now don’t get me wrong these guys make up a very formidable and strong team. Hulk and I wanted to wait to introduce our final two team members, however, Flair would not let that happen so Hulk and I had to speed up our game plan a little bit and introduce our final two team members, who joined us in the ring that night for the assist and reveal as members of Team Hogan. Thats right!! Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam not only came to our aid but also are joining Team Hogan alongside Jeff Jarrett and myself to round out Team Hogan. I believe we have the strongest team ever to compete in the Lethal Lockdown match. We will be victorious and finally put Flair and his teammates down for good. It will happen April 18 in St. Louis.

Lockdown to this Monster has always had a special meaning. Being one of the TNA originals, I’ve been here for over seven years and have competed in every Lockdown pay per view event in company history. As a matter of fact, my favorite memory and perhaps my favorite match of all time was the very first Lockdown pay per view event held in Orlando back in 2005. It was my first main event slot on a Sunday pay per view ever. It was against AJ Styles and we tore the house down that night. Like I said, to this day, it’s one of my favorite matches ever. It seems like just yesterday which goes to show how fast time goes when your having the time of your life. This year’s Lockdown is primed and ready to go and provide countless memorable moments. I can hardy wait to get to St. Louis. Hopefully I get a chance to see you all in St. Louis. Don’t forget about the fanfest on Saturday April 17. Join us for that if you can as it is always a great afternoon of hanging out with the TNA roster and getting up close and personal with all of us!

By now, I’m sure you’ve all heard the big news. TNA is moving to 8 - 10 PM on Monday’s nights permanently!! That’s right, the show now begins at 8 pm ET. I think this is an incredible move and will allow ALL of our fans to enjoy the greatest wrestling product in the world....TNA Wrestling. As always, we thank you ALL for your support and don’t forget to spread the word to all your friends about our big move to Monday nights and to 8 PM.

Well everyone, that’s all for this week. Tune in next week for the final Monster blog before the big Lockdown Pay per view. I’ll have some found memories to share with you regarding past Lockdown matches of mine and others. Take care everyone and I’ll talk to you next week. Bye bye.
