"we're sticking with this match until it's conclusion!" And then they take two commercials?  Did somebody not tell TNA that "sticking with the match 'till the end" doesn't mean "take multiple commercial breaks"? |

They mean that theyre sticking with it as long as it takes to end, ie it has overlap past 11:00

Yeah I hate it when they do this which is why I'm glad I don't watch it when it airs.
WWE is bad enough when they do it but I hate the extra annoying thing TNA does by coming back from commercial for like five seconds just to go back to commercial again.
did WCW use to do this? I remember they went to commercial during matches while WWF hardly ever did but I don't remember.

Honestly - I'd like to see them try their hand at product placement in an effort to reduce hte number of commericals.
I'm not sure who their advertisers are right now, but it wouldn't be too hard for something like having the Wolfpac coming out to the ring chugging some 5 hr energy drinks or something.

WCW actually once broke to another SHOW (The New Adventures of Robin Hood) during a main event between the Giant (Big Show) and Hogan, and came back to the match during commercial breaks of that show. It was just a one time deal to promote that new show. |

I like the quick look-ins during commercials. It's something no other wrestling company has done.

i for one flipped to Raw every time there was a commercial break on TNA and EVERY time that i did, sure enough, Raw was on a commercial too...
now, that doesn't mean that they didn't go to/come back sooner from said breaks, it means that there were AT LEAST the same amount of commercial breaks on WWE's end.
i don't think it's fair to dog TNA for that, when WWE is at fault as well.
with the problems that TNA has right now trying to get their act together and put on a good show on Monday nights i for one don't hold the amount of commercial air time against them.

No no no I'm not dogging them, just the way they worded it made it funny was all. I understand that WWE takes a lot of commercials as well and they're necessary, just the whole wording behind it was funny was all I was saying  |

It was just a one time deal to promote that new show. The beautiful thing is that they tried to legit play it off that Hogan and Giant had a 35+ minute bout, continuing on throughout Robin Hood being shown. |
