Listen up!

Class is in session.

Still have that "WrestleMania" hangover? Well, TNA hoped to cure it this Sunday with a gimmicky pay-per-view called "Lockdown." It was a show featuring cage matches only, kids. Excited? Or do you think it's overkill?

That's just one of the questions we're tackling on the Professor Wrestling podcast this week. Download Episode 72 RIGHT HERE. Cheap plug out of the way, let's get on with my stellar picks:

Queen Of The Cage Match: Angelia Love vs. Velvet Sky vs. Salinas vs. Rhaka Khan vs. Traci Brooks vs. Christy Hemme vs. Jacqueline vs. Roxxi Laveaux
What Should Happen: In this one, the eight contestants brawl outside the cage. The first two that manage to get in the ring then have a match. That being said, I'm reasonably certain Christy Hemme and Jacqueline will be the finalists.

What Will Happen: Hemme will be the cage queen.

What Did Happen: Roxxi Laveaux beat Angelina Love in the cage.

Challenge Match: Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed vs. Gail Kim and ODB
What Should Happen: Awesome Kong is the women's champ, so it makes sense that Kim and ODB will get a pin.

What Will Happen: Bank on it: Kim and ODB will win.

What Did Happen: Kim and ODB got the victory.

Challenge Match: Kip James vs. BG James
What Should Happen: The former New Age Outlaws/Voodo Kin Mafia finally go against each other. BG/Road Dogg is the babyface, Kip/Billy Gunn is the heel. Kip needs the win the most, so he should go over.

What Will Happen: Kip will get the cage win.

What Did Happen: This one went to good old BG.

Mixed Tag Team Match: Booker T. and Sharmell vs. Robert Roode and Payton Banks
What Should Happen: Again, Roode and Booker slumming in a garbage match. Sorry, but I'm just not into this. What should happen? Bathroom break. Booker deserves better booking.

What Will Happen: I predict Booker T. and his lovely wife, Sharmell, will prevail in this caged wrestling extravaganza.

What Did Happen: As predicted, Booker and his bride had their hands raised in victory, as Sharmell pinned Banks.

X-Division Championship Match: Jay Lethal (c) vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Curry Man vs. Shark Boy vs. Johnny Devine
What Should Happen: The X-Division is now TNA's comedy dumping ground. Every performer in this match knows what he's doing, so the match should be fine. Other than Devine, however, every contestant is a clown. Curry Man is really weird. Shark Boy has been retooled to ape Steve Austin. Jay Lethal is the second coming of Randy Savage. I'm guessing this one will go to Dutt, who is destined to feud with his pal, Lethal.

What Will Happen: Sonjay Dutt will be victorious.

What Did Happen: Mr. Lethal retained his X-title.

Lethal Lockdown Match: Tomko and A.J. Styles and Team 3D and James Storm vs. Christian Cage and Sting and Kevin Nash and Rhino and Matt Morgan
What Should Happen: This should be fun, right? Why shouldn't it? There's a lot of experience in the ring, guys who have been around forever and ever. Storm and Morgan stick out like sore thumbs as far as guys who just don't fit in with the rest, but that's the way it goes. One of these two will be pinned, probably Morgan.

What Will Happen: The bad guys -- Team Tomko -- will take it.

What Did Happen: The good guys -- Team Cage -- won it, with Rhino pinning Storm.

TNA Championship Match: Kurt Angle (c) vs. Samoa Joe
What Should Happen: The storyline dictates that Joe has to win or he has to walk away from TNA. That takes the mystery out of this one.

What Will Happen: Samoa Joe will win the TNA title.

What Did Happen: Samoa Joe pinned Angle cleanly. He's your new TNA champ.

That'll do it. For the record, I had three right and four wrong for "Lockdown" -- not exactly perfect, but do you notice how I always nail the main event match? It's why I get the big money.

That's it!

Class is dismissed!
