TNA World Hvt. champion Sting and Mick Foley are faced with a significant challenge of following several other cage matches at the Lockdown PPV on Sunday. Foley says he's not going to try anything too dangerous to involve the crowd in Philadelphia, but he's been forced to be extra creative in the match planning.

"The Philly fans are always a wild card, but I actually think that having actually grown up with a lot of those people that they're going to cut me a little slack," Foley told IGN.com in an interview to promote the PPV. "They're going to expect to see a good match, but I think they realize that no one really overcomes the tag team of Father Time and Mother Nature."

Foley acknowledged Sting and he being under pressure to deliver a main event-worthy match on the PPV card. He says the pre-match planning for himself will include coming up with creative ideas beyond the classic "rake the forehead across the cage wall" spot for their cage match.

"There will be a lot of pressure by the time that Sting and I get out there. The people will have seen a lot," Foley said. "So I'm going to get out on the road with some of my favorite tunes and I'm going to let my imagination run wild. And I'm pretty sure that when I get into Philadelphia for Lockdown and the steel cage doors slam shut that I'll have a pretty good idea of what I want to do."

Foley says he's working on his next book, which will chronicle the build-up to this match against Sting. Foley says it will be similar to the book he wrote in WWE leading to the One Night Stand PPV match in 2006 involving Tommy Dreamer, Terry Funk, and Edge.

"Part of what made the last book a good read I think was that it detailed the constant battles I would have with the WWE creative department and with Vince McMahon," Foley said. "Those battles don't really exist in TNA for me."
