TNA/Impact Wrestling

This is where you can chat about the various TNA programs and PPVs.

Pothead is back + too much promos time + crappy hasbeens wrestling + 1 or 2 good matches per show + 1 or 2 KO matches = TNA for the future.

TNA purchased ads in the Huntsville, Alabama market during RAW this past Monday night for their Impact Wrestling tapings this week. As noted before, ticket sales for Thursday night's TNA tapings in Huntsville have been slow.

TNA Wrestling is officially advertising Jeff Hardy for tomorrow's Impact Wrestling taping in Huntsville, Alabama. The top item on the company website is a graphic of Hardy with the accompanying text: "Jeff Hardy returns at Thursday's taping."

Hardy previously announced late Monday night via Twitter that he would be on hand for the event, which airs Sept. 1. It will mark as his first appearance for the organization in over five months.

-- Velvet Sky posted a message on her Twitter account supporting the use of marijuana. The TNA Knockout relayed an informational picture Tuesday night explaining how marijuana benefits each part of the human body.

Weird timing that Jeff is returning right when Matt is getting fired.

I wonder if Russo will try and turn that into some sort of work.

[doolbnoom]

i wonder if JH has actually cleaned up for good or if TNA is trying to boost ratings.

btw- i'm almost done watching Best of Bloodiest Brawls Vol 1 and the matches have great wrestling. yes, the blood part is the "main" theme, but the actual wrestling is very, very good. raven is GREAT- they really fucked up letting him go.

Jeff Hardy is backstage for tonight's TNA Impact Wrestling tapings in Huntsville, Alabama.

Hardy will make his return on the second episode taped tonight, meaning he will return to TNA TV on Thursday, September 8th. This is the same day Hardy is scheduled for court in North Carolina on drug charges. The first episode taped tonight, for September 1st, will tease a big announcement for Hardy's return.

I know it's not funny, but I couldn't help but to laugh at the bolded part.

Over/under on how long it will take after September 8 for Jeff to be involved in another new drug/alcohol/addiction related controversy?

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say by year's end.

I like that Matt didn't ruin a ppv by doing drugs and got fired, but Jeff did and is still working for them.

Thats how dumb TNA is.

[The Great Grape]

Jeff is going to take them to the land of 1.5 and up ratings. Even under the influence, he'll accomplish what every other WWE addition has failed to. You'll see.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Regarding the Sept return of Jeff Hardy , I can only expect he agreed to random drug testing with the company. That from what I heard is what TNA wanted for him to come back.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

That was a great promo and build for Crimson/Angle. Him getting in Angle's face and telling him "I am the Here...and NOW..."

I still hate the Angle heel turn.

[master of read]

here comes angle and his dumbass heel run.

Yeah, it's an obvious double standard.

But we all know why... Jeff Hardy equals money. Until something really bad happens, that fact is probably going to outweight any other concerns in TNA's minds.

10-20 years from now, I can't wait for WWE to put out a Rise and Fall of TNA dvd set (to go along with ECW, WCW, WCCW, and AWA). I'm sure we'll get all sorts of fun commentaries on how TNA is handling this stuff.
