What is TNA doing right?

TNA apparently have done it again. This angle with Jeff Hardy really could have been used to create some definitive face/heel lines. Jeff Hardy could be the most hated man in the business, and Abyss and The Pope being aligned with him could have really become heat-machines, as well. But we've already had Pope turn face again. Didn't he just turn heel the other week?

If I were booking this storyline, I'd have had Bischoff try to win Rob Van Dam over to their side. Bischoff could give RVD a title shot...against AJ Styles. TNA TV Title match -- RVD vs. AJ Styles. Technically, RVD would be the face in the feud, but there would be drama between whether or not RVD will also sell his soul to the devil, and AJ Styles can get heat by suggesting that RVD would, and that this is house that the guys in Fourtune built, etc.

Meanwhile, Mr. Anderson is trying to earn a spot back in the company for Kurt Angle and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for himself. Anderson takes out Nash and Sting without much effort. Samoa Joe is also after Jarrett, who also finds himself the target of Eric Young. You could also turn Orlando Jordan face with Young. I know people aren't that high on him, but TNA loves him, and it is far more couragious to present a bisexual weirdo as a hero rather than a villain in today's world. You can have a Booker T/Goldust-style relationship develop between Young & Jordan.

Eventually, RVD does sell his soul to Bischoff, and aligns himself with Jeffrey Nero. Not as a shock, but as a piece of development for RVD's character. I'm wondering whether it would be more beneficial to bring in Matt Hardy as a face to oppose his brother, or if Matthew Moore should also join "Them."

It's not the best angle ever, or anything, but there is potential and quite a gripping story behind this Hardy heel turn. But TNA are just chopping and changing everyone so there's no point getting attached to any of the characters.
