WTF? From the horrible split screen where you couldn't see anything, missing Matt Hardy falling off the cage and possibly breaking his arm, missing Angle's moonsault, the weird Christy Hemme upskirt shot and catching Flair blade, they were off all night. I haven't caught a PPV from TNA in a few months, so what happened?
Oh, almost forgot the "walk with camera at your ankles through the crowd shot" which made it so you couldn't see the matches.

TNA's production crew is awful and has been for a while. Live shows expose how terrible they really are.

They definitely need to get rid of the production crew and get people more talent. I'm wondering if they're not only skimping on paying talent, but production as well, and getting what they paid for.
If I was Matt Hardy, I'd be pissed. I'm guessing it was a planned spot, but risking yourself big time and have the camera not even catch it, I would have been livid.

I thought the big draw of having Bischoff on board was that production quality had gone up? So it's still awful?

They also watched the whole setup for Daniels to hit abyss with a trash can lid... but cut away right before the actual swing...
And having a shitty angle on live when Daniels dove off the top...

Its been sucking as of late, the Impact where Daniels returned looked like an indies dvd. Yesterday had a lot of bad points.

I'm watching it, now, and For some reason, during Madison Rayne's entrance, they focused on a sexist sign that reads:
"Women Are Good For
Jello-Wrestling Pudding-Wrestling
Pro-Wrestling Hair Cutting"
The sign is made all the more baffling by the fact it was a woman holding it.

I saw that too, and they went back to it after Mickie had won. One thing I caught too was the word "Crimsom" when Crimson came out.

The split screen camera never works, id rather see a quarter of the action clearly, then all of the action jumbled up.
I don't mean to be ...mean... but seriously elephant man face needs to be the new cornette face.

That one cameraman was all about getting Pope's ass on screen for as long as possible.

And this is what? TNA's 70th PPV?
How long does it take to get it right?

It was horrible last night.
For the third consecutive PPV they have guy blading on camera. Really?
It was funny though, all the sudden I saw Matt Hardy fall from the top of the cage on the side of the screen and had no clue what the hell happened.

Didn't see the show but if production cues were off chalk it up to how difficult shooting live is. If they were "Titan Trained" and had the benifiet of 30+ years of TV/PPV/wrestling production as the entertainment with a sprinkle of wrestling federation has, they wouldn't be as prone to production botches. I will never root for live Impacts for this reason. Road shows taped a few days out yes, but Live is expensive and difficult

The whole company is like that. The commentary is very "who gives a shit?" and concentrates more on Taz's mistakes and rambling than anything else, the matches/booking/writing feel disjointed, its just an overall down period for TNA.

I love how they basically zoomed up the Pope's cornhole. Glad I don't get TNA PPVs in HD.
