The Heel Turn: Hope Impact returns to its glory days

There's been more bad news for the troubled Matt Hardy, as he was nailed with yet another DUI to go along with a similar incident just a few short weeks back. In addition to this, his girlfriend Reby Sky allegedly called the police on him, which lead to a drug raid. This is definitely not the road Hardy wants to be taking, as he was recently released from Impact Wrestling, and it's unsure whether the WWE will ever rehire him.

It's sad to see both Jeff and Matt making the same mistakes, as they were a tag team who had all the talent in the world. There is perhaps a positive thing in this whole situation, as Matt has apparently agreed to enter a WWE-sponsored rehab program. Hopefully Jeff follows his lead, and the two brothers manage to get their personal lives back on track before their wrestling careers are completely destroyed. There could be some interesting new storylines brewing in Impact Wrestling, as Impact champion Kurt Angle is relishing his newly gained power due to aligning himself with Hogan. Angle has taken it upon himself to force the members of Fortune to compete against each other to determine a number one contender for Angle's championship. Tempers are already starting to flare within Fortune, and it seems highly likely that at least one of them will turn heel in the near future. My money would be on either Christopher Daniels or Robert Roode to be the ones to betray their friends. Hopefully it does not turn out to be AJ Styles, as they've already tried that with his "Flair Jr." gimmick, and it did not go over well. That persona just does not fit Styles; he's always been better as a face. In fact, Styles is the "face" of the company, so why change the formula any more?

More changes could be in the works regarding the future of Immortal running the show. Hogan is rumoured to be turning face soon, which Sting has been pushing hard to make happen. Hogan's contract with Impact Wrestling is also expiring soon, so either he leaves or returns to being the classic good guy Hulkster that we all know he can be. This, of course, would leave Bischoff as the main boss of the heel stable. It's very surprising that Immortal hasn't already split into two factions, as Angle and Jeff Jarrett have spent the last year trying to kill each other, only to find themselves in the same "family." I guess that's just another creative oversight from Vince Russo. A little bit of time explaining exactly how Angle and Jarrett are now cooperating would be a big help to the fans.

The "Network" is still heavily involved in Immortal's business, which causes Hogan and Bischoff no end of aggravation. A great direction for this particular storyline would be for Dixie Carter to reveal herself as one of the network execs. Carry this through to Carter regaining control of her company, as the majority of longtime TNA fans have not been pleased with Hogan and Bischoff being in the company, and this would be the perfect opportunity to bring Impact Wrestling back to their glory days.
