Backstage News On The TNA Electric Steel Cage Disaster

[Butoden]

Members of Team 3D and LAX knew the Electric Steel Cage was not going to work at the Lockdown PPV when they saw how it was being setup hours before the PPV was to go on the air. TNA management assured everyone that it would work.

As many saw on the PPV, TNA chose to run a "humming" sound of electricity over the PA system in the arena. TNAWrestlingNews.com can report that the sound was later turned down 10 minutes into the match, but was still said to be a major distraction for the live audience in St. Louis.

It should also be noted that sparks were supposed to shoot up off the cage when someone was "electrocuted", but that didn't end up happening. Instead, the lights flashed and the wrestlers involved were told to shake violently as if they were being electrocuted.

The match was indeed a disaster, the commentators tried their best to cover up with weird stories but yeah.. the fire russo chants were too loud and the light flashing and stuff was just stupid :whacky:

Agreed, this was one of the worst ideas in wrestling history. Whoever in management said that was going to work needs to be fired immediately!
