The reason they didn't announce that the match had a twenty minute time limit was probably because of the whole Somoa Joe thing a few weeks ago. And I believe that in TNA all matches have some time limit, though it's not announced. I agree that they should announce it before every match and maybe they should go back to having a clock on the screen... but I think that that would make us always think that time is going to be a factor, and although that adds an interesting element I think it would also take something away from the match.
Angle's cut didn't really look like nothing to me... It looked like he was laying in a pool of it when Hardy had the Boston crab on him. To each his own I guess. Bischoff announced that the match had to have a winner before Angle had the cut, before the two were too exhausted to go on. Had Bischoff said that the match was going to be a draw and then a few minutes later added ten minutes to the clock, or something of that nature, then it would be stupid. But he didn't. It made perfect sense what they did with that match.
I don't see how it was awful booking. We're talking about it aren't we? It was as interesting finish. What would WWE had done? Had both men be counted out and then we'd find out what they're gonna do about it the following night on Raw via an email. Yeah.. it could be way worse! lol
A lot of you guys seem to hate TNA just in general. Jeez, just stop watching it then. If you really cannot appreciate what they're doing, then don't watch it. ROH is on weekly, and WWE has plenty of other shows to keep you entertained.

That was actually the first time I'd seen a full TNA event like ever, and I will not be watching more, so don't worry about that. My point with the crowd is that they were lapping up every bad angle, every awkward spot the PPV had to give them, they didn't com off as hardcore fantatics they came across as morons to me anyway.
As for what you could do instead oh I don't know a double pin on a german suplex works just as well, hell if Bischoff wants to get involved have him restart only for another double pin to occur, it's not great but it's a lot better than what happened. Time limit draws should never ever happen on PPV, ever. Period.
And for the record having people talking about what happened does not mean it was a great thing. IE Finger poke of Doom.
