The reason why Impact didn't end as planned

As if it weren't obvious by watching, ProWrestling.net recently confirmed that the original plan for the ending of the TNA Impact show this past Monday night was scheduled to see Jeff Hardy hit his Swanton Bomb off the top rope onto AJ Styles to set up their program for next Monday night.

The main event went too long, however, and the cameras went black right as Hardy was ascending to the top rope for the final spot on the show.​

Sums up TNA pretty much.

Why do you bother posting in this section?

TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA!

Seriously, their production is so shitty it's unbelievable. How they can make such a stupid mistake is mindboggling.

It doesn't matter how it ended, they lost 25% of their audience in the last quarter hour. That's a HUGE fuckin problem. What's the point of having a main event if you can't even have people stick around for it because the offering had been so terrible to that point? If that isn't an indicator of how poorly the promotion is booked, I don't know what else to say, TNA is ran by the dumbest bunch of fools in the business today.

TNA really, really needs to start advertising outside of Spike, because outside of 1,000 Ways to Die, Spike sucks fat donkey schlong as a network. Buy some adspace on Comedy Central, Adult Swim and ESPN. Promote. Promote. Promote. Let people know AJ is grappling with Hardy, advertise RVD and the lot. Fuck, they stand no fuckin chance if they don't promote themselves, let alone the people who tuned out during the main event last week might not tune back in this week.

You gotta spend money to make money imo.

Too true. It also wouldn't hurt TNA to send some of their less utilized talent on promotional tours in different towns. Have them appear on radio shows, at autograph signings.

Another thing that sucks about TNA is nothing is promoted for next week or anything in the future. Case in point-the X division ladder match. Was that even mentioned on Impact? Also when the hell did Abyss become number one contender to the world title at Destination X?

The last segments/matches are always the lowest. Like the last half hour always drops in the ratings.

^^^ But theirs dropped and the E's increased. The huge problem is that there's more than a good chance that those people tuned out tuned into Raw. Not only is TNA's garbage hurting them, it's benefiting WWE.
