The special "Lockdown Countdown 2009" pre-show will feature an exclusive live match between reality television star and Philadelphia radio personality Danny Bonaduce and TNA Superstar "Showtime" Eric Young, as well as the debut pay-per-view appearance by TNA President Dixie Carter. The show will also feature the most up-to-the minute news on the biggest and most brutal wrestling pay-per-view event of the year.

TNA Wrestling has partnered with Internet broadcasters MyContent.com to simulcast the preshow live for the first time in TNA history. The "Lockdown Countdown 2009" live preshow will also be available in Spanish at www.micontenido.com.

"I'm not egotistical, but I'm just not giving one thought to this being my TNA Wrestling debut. Instead, I'm thinking about later this year and beyond, when there's no such thing as TNA Wrestling without my name attached to it. Eric seems like a very nice young man. I would like to apologize to him in advance. What I do to him Sunday at Lockdown is just my job," Bonaduce said.
