TNAs Timing Is Awful

[The Small Show]

Alright, I'm watching TNA iMPACT from last night and can't help but think about how stupid TNA are with their timings. The first commercial break occured the second Jeff Hardy punched Abyss. Then, When the broadcast returns, No-one mentioned what happened next. So, We just assume that Hardy kicked Abyss out the ring then everyone went to the back.

This isn't the first time.. There's been tons of times where the show has ended strangely (Like where Hardy and RVD are battling Abyss, Abyss gets thrown out the ring. He pops his head up and the show ends). What a lot of twont.

This is beyond annoying.

I thought this was in regards to storylines. Like how they threw the belt at RVD, but yet a month or two later he's gone. I don't mind the cutting to commercial break in the middle of the action, but i wish TNA was a little more consistant with the storylines.

It's classic WCW, you guys.

Don't you remember how Nitro used to end?
"What!!! Goldberg's here!!!!" *Goldberg runs down the ramp towards the ring, show ends, before he reaches the ring*

@Gates: You could be correct since this has happened only in the past few months and it's beyond annoying. It's just at the exciting bit of a segment (Where the segment was going to) and the show either concludes or goes to a commercial break. The next time the shows on, There is 0 recognition regarding that event. It's wrong and disrespectful to the wrestlers and fans watching. How can TNA Expect us to forget things like that?

TNA has always had really poor placement of commercials. So many perfectly good matches have been eviscerated by TNA's inability to properly format at television show.

It's TNA being TNA lol.

But seriously, I do remember wCw doing it. But back then I felt it was a good way to leave you with kind of a cliff hanger, you couldn't wait until the next week to see what happened/was going to happen. But the fault with TNA is they never explain what happened or why.

Now, as long as TNA doesn't get PPVs cut off mid-match of a main event they should be fine lol.

Something else that's completely wrong.

TNA PPVs air on ExtremeSportsNetwork over here and it airs in 3 hours (With commercials, so some is edited out). The commercials aren't at the end of the matches, but more during the entrances and just as the bell rings. How stupid and lame is that? TNAs programming is lame in the UK. Their PPVs are on a different channel to the normal shows.
