Key moments
Jushin Liger
On the
April 8,
2006 episode of
TNA iMPACT!,
Larry Zbyszko announced that
Jushin Liger would face
Christopher Daniels at
Lockdown, with Daniels's
TNA X Division Championship at stake (provided he retained the title in his
April 13,
2006 bout with
Samoa Joe). Later reports from the
Wrestling Observer and
PWInsider claimed that scheduling conflicts and communication errors would oblige Liger to miss the match in order to fulfil his Japanese commitments. On the April 13, 2006 episode of
iMPACT!, commentator
Mike Tenay gave the explanation that Liger had refused to fight inside a
steel cage. Tenay also stated that Liger would be the captain of
Team Japan for the
TNA 2006 World X Cup Tournament. Liger was replaced by the returning
Low Ki, billed as "Senshi".
Raven
In the course of the event, the debuting
Christy Hemme gave commentator Mike Tenay an envelope containing a message from "TNA management" to be read publicly. The message stated that TNA Management would be undergoing an overhaul, TNA championship committee member
Larry Zbyszko had been placed on probation due to questionable conduct, and that his firing of
Raven had been overturned. Raven then entered the arena and attempted to attack Zbyszko, who responded by locking himself inside the
cage until being restrained by security guards.
