Since last week's TNA on AMC debut, PWInsider.com has been asked whether timing issues led to the angle with Nic Nemeth coming out after Mike Santana's TNA title victory was supposed to air on the broadcast but perhaps was lost due to timing issues. In speaking to numerous sources, we are told the AMC broadcast was always slated to go off the air with Santana's victory and everything else was designed to run after so that TNA could use it for social media as a last push to get fans to order the Genesis PPV. So, none of that fracas was planned for the actual AMC premiere.
A personal note - as someone who once crushed the metacarpals in his hand, I have no idea how Frankie Kazarian was able to perform 29 days out of surgery. I've had numerous surgeries of that type and it is a hard, hard rehab and recovery, especially when it comes to getting the range of motion in your fingers back, yet here was Kazarian doing a Texas Death Match. It's pretty insane.
