I wonder if the pics are going to be the Flair/Elizabeth "obviously superimposed" faire? That might be fun.
You've pretty much taken the words out of mouth. That's actually a big part of why when I recently gave TNA a trial (I think I watched the exact same episodes as Lock Jaw, or whoever was watching TNA at the time), they turned me off when they went from Kazarian being this interesting character who was being blackmailed by Daniels to being completely against AJ for no reason at all.

They did some interesting booking in a Handicap Gauntlet Match, actually. Styles challenged them to this because he is a babyface and meant to have more guts than brains. I thought they were going to go with Kazarian losing the first fall to Styles and then Daniels coming in and picking up the scraps like a good heel. That would have worked. What they actually did was have Daniels wrestle the first fall, and then Kazarian attacked Styles causing a DQ elimination for Daniels, which seemed to really bug Daniels. But then Kazarian won the match for himself and Daniels. So you can kind of see how Kazarian was throwing Daniels' plan away -- trying to hold onto whatever "manhood" he could in the situation -- but still achieved Daniels' goals for him.

Then TNA had Kazarian just sort of snap out of that interesting character and cut a promo essentially saying that he was jealous of AJ Styles. The "dirt" had essentially been dropped, and Kazarian was no longer "forced" to do Daniels' bidding, and was a heel by choice.

It actually turned me off TNA -- not because that angle was the only thing I was watching for -- but because it's nonsensical booking like that which completely ruins the illusion for me.

But I do hope that they go the fake photographs route with this, and Daniels is just playing games with Styles. Especially if it leads to Dixie Carter paying for a segment of TNA where a photograph authenticity expert comes in to talk to the Impact Zone. I'm a sadist like that.
