Lockdown (2013) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion, which took place on March 10, 2013 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. It was the ninth under the Lockdown chronology and second event in the 2013 TNA PPV schedule. The event broke ground for TNA's largest domestic attendance record of over 7,200 fans, beating their previous record at Slammiversary 2012.〔 From 2005 to 2012, the tradition of Lockdown events featured every match taking place inside a Steel Cage. Beginning with this year's event, Lockdown was modified to featuring standard matches, and cage matches were reserved only for the high profile bouts. Lockdown was also moved to March for the first time since its inception in 2005. Eight matches were featured on the card. The main event match had Bully Ray defeating defending champion Jeff Hardy in a Steel Cage match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. In the other high profile bouts Team TNA (Sting, James Storm, Samoa Joe, Magnus, and Eric Young) defeated Aces & Eights (Devon, DOC, Mr. Anderson, Knux, and Garett Bischoff) in a Lethal Lockdown match, and Wes Brisco upset Kurt Angle in a Steel Cage match. ==Background== Lockdown featured eight professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. During the November 29, 2012 ''Impact Wrestling'' episode, the location and date for the ninth annual Lockdown event were announced as the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas on March 10, 2013. In a press release, TNA President Dixie Carter stated, "We have been waiting to play San Antonio until we could bring this great city a big televised event." Tickets for the event went on sale on December 7, 2012.〔 From January to March 2013, the ''Road to Lockdown Tour'', which TNA holds every year, toured many different cities across the United States and United Kingdom for live events and TV tapings to build up to the Lockdown event. As part of TNA's business initiative to reduce the number of pay-per-views produced per year, Lockdown was moved to March, leaving Genesis, Lockdown, Slammiversary and Bound for Glory as the remaining live PPVs on their schedule. Like every year, TNA arranged their ''Lockdown VIP Weekend'' featuring their fan-friendly ''Lockdown Fanfest'', giving the opportunity to fans to get close with their favorite wrestlers for autographs, photographs and conversations on March 9, 2013, a day before the event. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lockdown (2013)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
