"Orlando Screwjob" Fall Out

So the 01-28-10 edition of Impact was littered with segments addressing the "Orlando Screwjob". I know it was to much to ask for them to ignore it all together. But did they really need to dedicate the bulk of the night it. It's like they're really proud of it, like the writers honestly think pushing it further is good for business.

The only silver lining is that we may be reaching the end of this sad storyline. Hulk apologized to the fans, Kurt made up with Hulk and agreed not to leave, and Earl Hebner was "fired". So now focus can shift back towards Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles. In the end the "Orlando Screwjob" was nothing more then a building block for a feud. But that's what makes it even more pathetic. While the Angle/Styles feud will fade and give way to others the ghost of this Screwjob will linger. It will stand as damning evidence of why TNA is it's own worst enemy.

I understand that repetion is a big part of professional wrestling storylines. The act of ripping off a storyline is not inherently evil. Reworking a past storyline can often lead to good results. The determinate for quality is the reasoning, the logic behind the storyline. TNA's reasons for doing the screwjob are paper thin at best. I feel it went something like this: "Hey look, Bret Hart's coming back to the WWE we should find a way to capitalize on it. Hey wait a minute don't we have Earl Hebner, he was part of that screwjob. We should redo that. That would would really get the fans talking"

It did get fans talking, but not in a positive way. The moment came out of nowhere it was cheap shocker. As a result, the moment will not go down as famous but rather "infamous".
