My TNA Monthly Catch-up, Jul - Aug 06

Before I get started I need to say TNA need to finally sort out their running times for their Impact shows and stop taking breaks during matches. It's very unprofessional and lets them down a lot. Does WWE take ad breaks mid-match?

20th jul - Team 3d take a holiday, leaving Brother Runt to his own devices.

27th jul - TNA announcers have memory loss, AGAIN!. And continue to announce Samoa Joe as undefeated. Which he isn't. He LOST the X-division belt to Senshi over a month ago. So he's defeated. They have to get that FACT into your thick skulls. Lost belt = defeated, ok?
Here, read these 2 bits of information.

From Wikipedia:- on the x division belt succession.
Samoa Joe 2 April 10, 2006 Orlando, Florida Singles iMPACT!.
Senshi 2 June 19, 2006 Orlando, Florida Three-Way iMPACT! (see, Joe lost the belt. Defeated)

From Wikipedia:- On Joe's TNA streak.
Although in TNA he has lost two triple threat matches, a four-way match, a battle royal and an Ultimate X match, none of these have ever been won by pinning Joe or by making Joe submit and thus Joe is still referred to as being undefeated in his TNA career.

(a total of 5, count them FIVE matches where he has lost then. Hardly undefeated if he lost 5 matches, is he?)

3rd Aug - Samoa Joe also still thinks he's undefeated as well. short memory, eh? Loved the emegency meeting by the way.

10th Aug - Rhyno shows why you should pay attention, t**t.

Larry Z shows why men shouldnt wear wigs.
LAX are becoming the new Team Canada, #1 Tag team heels.
Runt goes super high flying. Cornette becomes an announcer.

13th Aug - PPV Pre-show. Hemme looking fierce!

Killings demoted from PPV status.

The Sting story is reshown despite the fact that it was shown on the 10th? WTF?

13th Aug - Hard Justice PPV 06 - I think the "fire" during the Eric Young/Jonny Devine was a work, they didn't evacuate right away or kill the tv feed so it wasn't real.

The 4-way tag match. How did Maverick Matt & Kazarian get into that? They are unknowns. Were they filling in because Team 3D are off eleswhere?

How many times did they run that Sting promo because of "technical difficulties"?

Kevin Nash unable to work due to a neck injury, no doubt inflicting whilst bending over to tie his shoelaces.

Runt went back to the oldschool tie dye, shades of ECW days.

They complained about losing time to the fire but they still found time to have pre-match interviews & flashback promo's. B**ls**t. If time was so tight why didnt they drop the Gail Kim/Sirrelda match? Every single match had either an interview or flashback promo before it (sometimes both) so they obviously didn't care about time or they'd have cut back on them as well. The tag belt match was too long by about 15 mins at least.
The Sting/Jarrett match ended in a predicable heel turn by Christian Cage.
