20 WTF Moments From TNA Impact (August 26)

4. That Ridiculously Abrupt Commercial Break

After Jeff Jarrett comes to the ring and it appears that Dixie is about to accept his proposition, Drew Galloway interrupts, telling Dixie that he has something to tell her and all of the TNA fans. But of course, because it's TNA, the show has to cut to a ridiculously sudden commercial break, with even Josh Matthews saying, "What do you mean we gotta to go to a break right now?" This basically proves both the benefits and the drawbacks of taped TV: they can shape the edit to fit commercial breaks, but it lacks the immediacy and electric atmosphere of a live broadcast. Wouldn't it have made more sense to shove the commercial break in during either Dixie or Jeff's entrances rather than when Drew was about to break a major revelation?
