-- Christopher Daniels worked two steel cage matches last night — the opener as X-Division Champion Suicide and later under his new ring name Daniels in the Lethal Lockdown match.
Kaz was expected to return as Suicide at last night's show, but that didn't happen, so Daniels ended up working both matches.
-- Despite his loss last night, Sting's TNA World Heavyweight Championship reign was the longest reigning run for any champion since TNA launched their own "World title" in May of 2007. This was also the longest singles title reign in his illustrious career.
-- In case you don't know, a number of cable providers are now carrying TNA pay-per-views in High-definition. The cost is the same as the standard feed. The HD shows launched in February with Against All Odds.
-- At only $5.00, the official Lockdown poster was quite popular with the fans of Philadelphia as a number of them were seen walking around the building with it.

-- Christopher Daniels is now going under the official ring name "Daniels." He is no longer going under the nickname "Fallen Angel" either.
-- To clarify, the second "former World champion" rumored to appear at Lockdown last night was not Stevie Richards. TNA only promised fans that they would begin to "unlock the identity" of the second former champion at the pay-per-view, not that he would appear.
-- Former Ring of Honor Champion Xavier was visiting friends backstage at the show last night. Also, several indy workers including Monsta Mack of JAPW worked as "TNA security" to catch Suicide following his dive off the cage to the floor during the Xscape match.
