Not only that, but the angle on their replay (which they've had literally DAYS to fix) clearly showed AJ's shoulders pop up off of the mat before the three-count.

And now AJ (suddenly wearing a shirt) and Tomko are arguing with Cornette over the controversy... the controversy being that Super Eric "interfered" in the match, not the shoulders-up thing. Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh. Everyone in this company is written as if they're reeruned.

So that's one cheapish but understandable title change, and one title-devaluing (as if being in TNA isn't enough) change. Beautiful.
To enjoy wrestling, the main thing is to suspend disbelief. But to enjoy TNA, you have to suspend disbelief and then proceed to punch yourself in the face until you are reeruned.

On a better note, only 2 days until ROH comes back to Chicago and I get to see the Motor City Machine Guns vs. The Briscoes, the rematch one year in the making. I'm also pumped for the Vulture Squad (Jack Evans, Ruckus & Jigsaw) vs. Age of the Fall (Jimmy Jacobs, Tyler Black & Joey Matthews). And the title match between Nigel McGuinness and Kevin Steen should be good, although since they are building Claudio Castagnoli as the next big challenger, I really doubt Steen has a chance of winning.

It would be amazing to see what Gabe Sapolsky (head booker for ROH / Paul Heyman's protege in ECW) could do with TNA, given the level of talent that they are wasting right now (and he booked quite a few TNA roster members in ROH and actually utilized their talents effectively).
