I think that I saw WCW play a replay of the finish of a Sting/Luger match in the first hour when it was supposed to be the main event on Thunder once. At least TNA hasn't done that yet.....have they?

At least it made for some great entertainment in the Impact thread.

They aired an ad hyping Angle/Lashley on March 20th. That would usually be fine but there was one issue. The main event of this show was a #1 Contender's match. Angle hadn't even won the title shot yet. |

On this week's Impact, the main event was Angle vs. Roode vs. Young in triple threat match for a shot at Lashley at the next Impact. About 20/30 minutes into the show they aired an ad for next week's Impact... which highlighted Angle vs. Lashley for the title. Brilliant. |

Hasn't TNA been spoiling their own shows for months now?

This was Destination America's doing with that commercial, not TNA. And Destination America should be ashamed of themselves for doing that. Also, which ever individual did that should be fired.

TNA/Destination America/both/whomever, previewed the upcoming 3/20 Impact's World Title match between Lashley & Angle, before the #1 contenders match between Angle/EY/Roode on this week's show happened. |

But what really makes it facepalm worthy, is that they did it, not once, but twice.

I'm not even surprised. I'd be more surprised if they didn't spoil it - they seem to take great pleasure in spoiling their future shows.
I mean, why even bother airing the number 1 contenders match? we already know who wins. Just shoot a sit-down interview between Lashley and Angle hyping up their title match for next week. What a waste of time the match is when you render it null and void by spoiling it.
What a f***ing idiotic company. I swear it's run by a bunch of raccoons pressing buttons at random.

S**t like this is just inexcusable. Wonder how many people just said OK and turned it off after the first half hour. No point sticking around for the Main Event.

And this is what happens when you don't have someone who knows how to format TV and book segments properly in a position of power.
I'm not saying I know how but I'm confident that I'd watch a video package advertising next weeks main event, look at when it would air and say "Hey, there is an issue here" and I'm just some dude with no TV experience.
The fact this happened on a taped show that someone should probably be proof watching is pathetic.

Well I think you just proved they don't need somebody who knows how to format TV, they just need to hire people who aren't f***ing idiots. |

It's more upsetting to me that Kurt Angle is still main eventing in 2015.

Spoiling your own main event is like getting fired on your day off. Just stupid, y'know?

I bet Destination America never spoils upcoming episodes of "A Haunting". But I will.
The ghost that haunts the stay-at-home mother of two turns out to have died in a Civil War battle.
