Thing is, Anderson turning (back) heel isn't even the stupid thing.
In fact, having him join Immortal is pretty necessary because of the other stupid moves.
Stupid Move #1 - Planning the biggest angle in the company with guys that are not under contract. Because TNA couldn't secure Nash and Booker to reform the Main Event Mafia to fued with Immortal, they revealed Fortune as "they 2.0" and turned them face. In doing so Immortal became much weaker.
Stupid Move #2 - Putting your faith in (and your World Championship on) a guy with known drug problems is always likely to end up with the same result. Jeff turned up to the PPV high on somas (allegedly), was "screwed" in a match and quickly dropped from Immortal. This left Immortal with Hogan and Bischoff (who don't wrestle), Jeff Jarrett (already in a fued), Matt Hardy (who nobody cares about anymore), Gunner/Murphy (glorified jobbers) and Rob Terry (useless roid-monkey). Add in Bully Ray (fat, over-the-hill, over-selling sack of turd) and you have a pretty shitty stable with no real headline talent.
Enter Ken Anderson.
Pretty sure we'll see ANOTHER swerve before this is said and done. Whether it be the reveal that "The Network" doesn't exist and was just a ploy to get Anderson to join Immortal or it's revealed that Anderson was using Immortal to win back the title. I'd bet on Anderson being a face (again) by the time the storyline is done.
