 PPV event held on April 4, Lockdown was rated lower as WrestleMania was given a 7 out of 10 by Dale Plummer and Nick Tylwalk. Regrading the overall event, Clevett felt the all cage match format was "too much of a good thing". He went on to state that by the end of the event he "was tired of seeing the cage", however that Styles and Abyss "quickly brought my interest back with a brutal and fun bout that ended off the show on a positive note." When speaking of the TNA X Division Championship match, Clevett wrote that he felt it "was technically a very good match," but he "expected more considering the talent involved." He, however, felt that the psychological aspect was "excellent" regrading the two former Triple X partners countering each other's moves. Clevett's highest match rating of 8.5 out of 10 was given to the main event, while his lowest of 2 out of 10 was given to the Prince of Darkness match. The Lethal Lockdown match was given the rank 5 out of 10, while the X Division Title match was given an 8 out of 10. Wade Keller

The Prince of Darkness match was given the lowest ranking, at a fourth of a star. Keller commented on the main event as not being "bad at all, but not quite at a four-star level." He felt that if there had not been "any other cage matches or stunt bumps, it might have been four-stars-plus." Regrading the Lethal Lockdown match, Keller believed the bout " felt rushed." As for the X Division Championship defense, Keller stated that it was a "good match." When speaking on Candido's injury, Keller stated it was "absolutely brutal looking" and felt it was an "obvious full snapping of his ankle bone." In a review by Ronnie LaFianza for the website 411Mania, Lockdown was rated an overall 8 out of 10. The main event was given 4 and three-fourths stars out of 5, the Lethal Lockdown match 2 and a half stars, and the X Division Championship defense 3 and a half stars. LaFianza felt the event "just seemed to get better and better as it went on," however he felt it was a "pretty average PPV leading up into the main event." On September 20, 2005, TNA Home Video
