How dumb, impatient and reckless are TNA management?  Just five weeks after TNA had Jeff Hardy drop their World title to Mr. Anderson at the Genesis PPV, so he wasn't their World champion when he was scheduled to plead guilty on his longstanding drug charges on January 20th, what did TNA do at their next PPV Against All Odds?  If you guessed correctly that they rashly put the title right back on Hardy, even though such a short reign buries Anderson, then obviously you've been paying attention to their booking incompetence.  Moreover, Jeff Hardy in fact didn't plead guilty on that date, the hearing was delayed again until February 16th due to a disagreement on the terms of Hardy's plea bargain.  Yes, TNA management were indeed dumb, impatient and reckless enough to put the World title back on Hardy just three days before his next drug hearing, one he might have to plead guilty in.  Legal problems be damned we mustn't deviate for more than one PPV cycle from Eric Bischoff's and Vince Russo's script!  I guess they're banking on yet another continuance, but eventually both their and Hardy's luck must run out.  Tune in to Cageside Seats on Wednesday to find out the latest on this seemingly never ending legal saga.
