The following contains a potential spoiler regarding Thursday's TNA Imapct television show.

TNA wrestler Orlando Jordan kissed a man prior to his match with Samoa Joe at the TNA Impact taping on Monday. Jordan was escorted to the ring by a man and a woman. He had his arms around both of them and then kissed each of them prior to his match.

Powell's POV: This didn't go over well with everyone backstage in TNA, as there are some within the company who felt they, well, crossed the line. It will be interesting to see whether TNA follows through by airing this on television or if those opposed to it will talk company officials out of it. One TNA worker offered the opinion that the angle will turn off viewers of Spike TV, which is geared specifically to men.

It's also worth noting that while I was a guest on the PWTorch Livecast on Monday, host Wade Keller mentioned that it was possible one of the reasons TNA went with the 8:00 p.m. CT start time for TNA Impact is because they would have more freedom to run adult-themed storylines. I'm not sure if the two stories are connected, but it's logical for TNA to target fans who are dismayed with WWE's PG programming.
