Well to be honest I would be pissed if I were AJ. First of all to give their dream match away on free tv with no advertising or hype or feud or anything. Second because RVD just comes in after a few months after his debut and takes his belt away and makes the Pope look weak in my opinion. No feud or hype or anything and RVD wins the belt. Fucking fuck.
Sadly, it was only a little over a month. RVD debuted on the Mar. 8th show I think. Yeah, some guys (Christopher Daniels) work their asses off in TNA and never get the belt.

I'd be pissed if I were him.
TNA decided to take the belt off him whilst he's in a major heel run, just to give it to someone who debuted on march 8th.

This, 100% this....
No. They're not going to put Pope over RVD if they couldn't put AJ over him.
I sure it was Hogan's call, it was probably one way Hogan got RVD to sign to TNA; "Oh yeah brother, you'll totally have the world title within the first month of you showing up!"
This was stupid to do. Like it was said, no build up nothing. Lets also set up a continued feud between Pope and AJ and then scrap it the next night.
Honestly I could see AJ having somewhat of an ego in TNA, but like I said certain guys on the TNA roster deserve to have one while in TNA, but I seriously doubt it's his ego that made him pissed off. They should of just left Jeff and RVD in the upper card/ semi-main event and no where near the title. I seriously doubt giving RVD (or Jeff for the matter) the title will boost their ratings.
Yeh I'm pretty appauled at the decision to give RVD the title. So many things were wrong with this, as some of you have said:
-Ho hype, no build up. None. A title match AND title change was the LAST thing I was expecting the night after Lockdown.
-The match wasn't that epic. It wasn't a championship match, tbh.
-The celebration was WAY OVER THE TOP! The thing I thought when I saw the confetti come down and what not, was AJ Style's win way back when. Seems like a little kick in the gut, imo.
-Completely shit over a fued between Pope/AJ. I mean I wasn't huge on the fued, but the last two matches AJ's had, have had no continuing fueds.
-Made Pope look weak, especially after Lockdown's defeat.
-Made AJ look weak. RVD wrestles a match earlier in the night THEN defeats AJ? C'mon guys. Let's make RVD this machine that'll tear through the best athlete in TNA, AFTER wrestling one match...
Big bad move, imo. It's a shame, because I was actually enjoying this Impact, tbh. Oh well...

AJ could just shut up. He was pushed to the moon, with RIC FUCKING FLAIR in his corner, yet he still failed to get over. They gave him numerous chances, a lengthy title reign and competitive matches. He should have lost the title earlier.
^ya I'm thinking the same thing.
Yeah it was definitely the wrong move for AJ to drop the title ONE night after he retained it in a PPV. I wouldn't care if it was John fucking Cena. AJ should have at least cheated RVD out of a victory to set up a feud.

Build-up does wonders for a feud. The match could suck but the build up to said feud really does wonders. Anyone remember the Lethal/Dutt/So Cal Val feud?

AJ was given INCREDIBLE treatment from the hands of TNA. He's got a fucking nerve to be pissed.
However, the match was a bit stupid and really made a few people look super weak.
Hogan CAN regain this though. Try and make it seem AJ was just off the back of a big match, he wasn't at 100 percent? Ya know.

If I were AJ Styles, I'd be pissed too. Knowing title reigns for AJ he won't hold the gold for another four years. Not only that, but AJ Styles is TNA's homegrown superstar. And to have RVD go over on Impact says a lot about how good TNA is, and what being the top dog in TNA means, practically, not shit.
TNA always mishandles AJ's major pushes. I remember in 2005 when he won the belt from Jarrett at Hard Justice then ended up dropping it to Raven at KOTM.
First of all, AJ should have never turned heel. That was the first mistake. AJ cannot play a heel. His promo skills aren't that great to have him take on the task of getting the fans to hate him. Making him the "next Ric Flair" was another mistake. They ended up making him look like a fool frosting his tips and giving him a Flair robe. What was supposed to be an impactful heel turn actually turned into a role much like Prince AJ, which was another debacle.
