I was getting that vibe too. I would much rather have Lashley as champion over MVP based on the matches that they both put on, I do find Lashley more entertaining in the ring than MVP.
SPOILER! Major Spoiler for Late June Tapings

EY absolutely needed to lose the title, he wasn't gonna shake the stigma of "the dude who just won the belt because Dixie watched Wrestlemania 30" with the way he randomly won the title after years of being a horrible comedy character...... but there were merits to EY winning the title. Even though he was dealt a bad hand the dude did make the most of it, his charisma SEEMED lacking but it still really easy to get behind the guy in both promos and matches in a way that's rarely seen in wrestling. He just had that ability to draw me in, and it just doesn't make much sense to me. Hope he gets the belt again in the future in a way that isn't a complete farce.
So we have a good talent dealt an unplayable hand losing the belt to... Lashley, who has neither the upside or the downside of the EY reign. But this title reign won't be about him at all, it's all gonna be about MVP with Lashley standing to the side, just as it always was, and now he has a big shiny belt and that means that MVP has the "power that comes with it" or some other garbage that nobody cares about. I suppose his reign will be just like MVP's was planned to be, except we get Bobby Lashley matches instead of MVP matches which is a HUGE upgrade. Sounds good to me.
But all I can imagine is that this is gonna be a transitional reign onto Bobby Roode.

Yeah, I can't understand the chumps who post spoilers and threads about something big that will air in an hour or two. I mean, it's just Blue. Can't you just wait 60 or 120 mins?
It's usually people like that who are anti-TNA. They read something someone wrote somewhere, and judge TNA according to it. I'm not bashing the dude who opened the thread here, I don't care about it, I just think that is just a moronic thing to do. SPOIL yourself (and possibly ruin it to others) something that will air in 60 mins. Not day or a week, but 60 mins. Unreal.
I know I've only been back for the last couple weeks, but an EY loss to MVP would have been a show-stopper. Who in god's name would care enough to cheer OR boo?
Lashley at least is in-ring capable and we know MVP is going to do all of his talking. I just wonder what babyface they throw at him first, there are some good options.
