TNA Releases Genesis Pay-Per-View Video With Footage From Roode vs Hardy Main Event, Baffles Everyone

by Geno Mrosko on Jan 10, 2012 10:00 PM EST in TNA

Oh, TNA.

If we're to accept the premise that this company doesn't care much about pay-per-view (PPV) buys and instead chooses to build its shows towards Impact on Thursday night's on Spike TV, how on Earth is it a good idea to give away the result of the Genesis PPV main event on YouTube two days before Impact is set to air this week?

The Internet has changed everything, I get that, but what good can come of this? Does anyone want to watch Impact this Thursday now because of this video? They don't tease showing footage on Impact, they don't give you a taste and then tell you to come back for the rest later; they literally give away the goods on a useless YouTube video posted at a random time.

It's mind boggling.

The promotion for Impact this Thursday is that Hardy is going to have something to say about what went down and how he doesn't like it. Tune in, folks, Jeff Hardy on the mic! Should be explosive!

Not that you care (because, you know, TNA has created a culture that dictates you shouldn't) but you can click here for results from the Genesis PPV.

TNA defined

A company that turns the blood and sweat of it’s phenomenal talent into cash, which is wasted by the tragically inept decision making of management. See also WWE.

I hope to Christ TNA is put out of its misery soon.

It’s not even funny how badly this company is run.

Yes I too hope people lose jobs

Good lord

Wait, what?

I had a few at dinner tonight, but did TNA really just give a middle finger to those who bought the PPV? Is this how a self respecting company is run? They just gave up trying I guess. Why anyone buys a PPV from these guys if they are just going to post it? I wish WWE would just buy the X division and let the rest of the show crash and burn.

So go forth, my brethren, and proceed to mark the f*ck out

TNA has no clue

It’s been all downhill since Dixie first pushed her way onto television (despite saying she’d never do it) and then it plummeted when Hogan & Bischoff joined the fray.

I feel bad for Jeff Jarrett.

Jesus Christ, Jeff Hardy

Stop painting your face, you look like an idiot.

Yeah I don't understand the face paint either. I guess I took a break from watching wresling when he started that.

Is there a point to it? Does he want to be drug induced Sting? Or has he just been to so many raves he can’t help himself?

Face painting isn't Jeff Hardy's problem.

Jeff Hardy is Jeff Hardy’s problem.

The face paint was one of the main reasons I liked Jeff Hardy when I was younger

I still like it even though I’m not a Jeff Hardy fan anymore. But this latest version is way too over the top.

Built to Fail.

I’m starting to think that TNA is nothing more than an elaborate insurance scam. Made to look incompetent and therein lies it’s true design, it’s purpose.

lol

is this TNA’s attempt to join in on the trolling fun?

Well

I for one am slightly interested. I haven’t kept up consistently due to its increasing awfulness, though I have a general idea of what’s going on usually. This gave me a recap though, so I know what’s going to be going on Thursday, and it made the feud look interesting. Seeing as I didn’t see the Pay Per View, I might have forgotten completely about the feud until next Tuesday or something.
