As many of you have no doubt heard by now, TNA Impact Wrestling's "live" broadcast did not air on Pop until almost two hours later. Here is what happened and for wondering, it wasn't anything that TNA was responsible for. The show was sent from Orlando to Atlanta, GA, where Pop's master control is. The show was then to be sent up via satellite, where it would be sent to the cable and satellite companies and then sent on to your homes. Weather conditions in Georgia, where there was a massive thunderstorm with heavy winds, caused master control to not be able to send the signal to the satellite. The issue was finally corrected at 10:50 PM. As far as why Pop didn't put something else on beyond the loop of commercials, I don't have an answer to that.
One thing I do know is that the entire situation had to be extremely crushing for TNA, since it left them in a position where it appeared they had screwed up and done something wrong and they were completely blameless in this instance. What was extremely sad is that from what I've seen of the show, it was a really good episode of Impact. TNA really were Charlie Brown with the football pulled out from in front of them by Lucy on this one. Just a bad break.
Pop did finally air the show, commercial free, last night and will be running a replay tonight at 9 PM Eastern to make it up to everyone. So, if you want to see the show, set your DVRs.
There was a good reason why the TNA Hall of Famer didn't leak in advance: no one knew who it was. TNA didn't tell anyone who the Hall of Famer was beyond a very small group of people. We are told that Gail Kim didn't know she was being announced as the new Hall of Famer until Dixie Carter announced it during last night's taping.
TNA has another round of Impact Wrestling tapings tonight in Orlando, Florida. If anyone is attending, we are seeking spoiler reports.
