"to counter that, the latest money thrown onto the JQ Japan bonfire is another example of the same old-same old. Maybe I am being too optimistic."
AJ will also be vindicated on JQ Japan. We should get the opportunity to celebrate that vindication in this topic if it keeps going for long enough.
The only risk to AJ was if he was prematurely axed before the result of his tough decision could flow through. He has not been axed and the results are now starting to flow through. So he gets to do the victory dance. Sorry it may not be what you wanted but thats the way it has panned out.
I didnt want Germany to win the World Cup but they did and I cant change that. Just have to move on.
