Jeff Hardy suffered minor burns on his face when James Storm threw the fireball at him at last Tuesday's TNA Impact taping (the segment aired on Monday's Impact). A TNA source notes that the company had a stunt expert work with Storm and Hardy throughout the day of the taping.

However, it actually took Storm three attempts to blow the fireball at Hardy, so there was heavy editing done to the scene that aired on Impact. The substance that Storm was spitting got on Hardy's face during the second attempt, so when Storm blew the actual fireball the third time it ignited the substance and caused the burning.

Powell's POV: Hardy isn't at risk of missing any time due to the minor burns. The source felt that the problem with the fireball was "100 percent" attributable to Storm given that they had practiced it several times with the stunt expert.
