My Thoughts on RVD, Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles

[Swiss Ultimate]

So I tried to watch as much of TNA as I could last night. For the most part I managed to catch the important parts between bouts of violent masturbation.

*RVD's haircut makes him look really weird and old.
*Jeff Hardy's entire schtick now is going crazy with a magic marker on his face.
*RVD and Jeff attempted to do that "a lot of offense that is countered and dodged" thing that used to happen in ECW in the 90s. It didn't look good to me though last night.
*The match actually ended up being pretty good. This is an awesome way to tell the fans at home that: even the WWE's washed-up wrestlers are better than our home-grown talent.
*RVD is a total dick to his supposed "best friend". After the match, instead of helping him up and shaking hands or even, gasp, raising Jeff's hand in the air as a show of respect he just celebrates a bunch and smiles a lot. Asshole.
*RVD and Jeff Hardy watching their match together and talking is a half-ass way to accomplish what my previous note would have done. Nobody wants to hear Jeff talk, damn it!
*AJ's earrings look really stupid, as does his feathered hood.
*A great match between TNA's Home-grown Hero (albeit a heel now) and RVD (ECW's and WWE's reliable ring-veteran), and who goes over? The guy with the strongest ties to the competitor of TNA.

Was it unexpected? For me, yes.
Was it smart? Meh, it was something. If RVD is onboard with TNA and plans on being with the company for the next 6-10 years while maintaining his current level of popularity...yes. So, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Was it worth jobbing AJ Styles? If RVD had not already wrestled a grueling match a mere hour before, maybe, but AJ Styles looks weak as hell. He couldn't beat a tired, bloody RVD on his worst day, why expect him to do it ever?

AJ Styles face-turn? Magic face-powers are the only way I see him recovering the title. However, with Samoa Joe's (celluloid) return, I don't see too much time being devoted to AJ. I could be wrong but, the main-event scene is pretty crowded with Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Rob Van Dam, Samoa Joe, Hulk Hogan (wrestling or not), Ken Anderson, Jeff Hardy, Matt Morgan and...uh...that might be it.

I enjoyed the show though, just can't help notice how the company seems to be falling apart. I wonder how much money they'll spend suing Jim Cornette.
