TNA’s WWE-Inspired Name For Hard Justice, iMPACT! Edits

— Apparently playing off WWE’s one night reunion show five years ago for ECW alumni, One Night Stand, TNA Wrestling is promoting its own reunion show as Hard Justice: One Last Stand. There is a commercial running on cable and satellite providers promoting the event as such. The commercial features TNA footage of ECW alumni such as The Sandman, New Jack and Raven. We noted that the current planned name for the ECW faction in TNA is ‘The Riot Makers’. Of course, that can always change. Furthermore, an audible “ECW!” chant is heard at one point during the commercial. Years ago when Shane Douglas ran the ECW reunion show Hardcore Homecoming, WWE’s legal team demanded they edit out the fans’ “ECW!” chants off the DVD release. We’ll see if WWE goes after TNA here shortly.

— As noted last week here on the website, the conclusion to last Thursday’s iMPACT! was greatly edited. While nothing major was cut, the segment went far longer than what was broadcast.

— As reported earlier, last Thursday’s episode of iMPACT! scored a 1.09 cable rating, with 1.44 million viewers. The rating stayed steady throughout the show as it drew quarters hours of 0.96, 1.04, 1.14, 1.11, 1.16, 1.12, 1.08 and 1.09. The show did a 0.72 in Males 18-49 and 0.51 in Males 18-34.
