I have to admit, at first I liked the angle, it was the start of Bad Influence and I was excited to see if AJ and Dixie were having an affaire, which I think was the original payoff, I liked the build up, Dixie going ballistic cursing at the cameras, her husband Serg going apeshit (although AJ sold that fn punch too much), the angle sounded awesome on paper.... Then apparently they didn't want to have Dixie cheating so they switched it to Claire, who according to the AJ and Bad Influence shoot, she was supposed to be Dixie's niece and a hot girl, but apparently they didn't wanted a Carter being a junkie, or the girl being hotter than Dixie, which gave us that girl...we've all suffered to that abomination, but I think the part that pissed me off more than anything was the fact that the actress playing Claire quit and it got unresolved, the one thing I hate more than crappy wrestling angles are loose ends.
I think that the angle started up great but it went too shit as soon as Dixie changes everything

Dixie didn't have an issue with it being a Carter but her parents did. They also didn't have an issue with it being a hot girl. TNO just went the cheap route and hired a Universal Studio employee.
AJ was extremely pissed that she quit though as he thought the angle could have em been saved and he buried Claire on live TV for quitting.

I love everything about that angle and it continues to feed my Addiction to this day so I will hear no hatred of it!

The only true highlights was Bad Influence trying their best to save the shitty angle and people online honestly defending the Claire Lynch Saga as legit when even TNA recognized the stupidity of the angle and gave up trying to make sense of things.

I hear Bischoff got a raise for the bit about AJ supposedly fathering her baby, even though fans hated it.

Kaz and Daniels were great, and the baby shower/front row moments where you see the girl playing Claire subtly snap were great too. Kaz and Daniels didn't TRY to save it, they SAVED it. It made for some absurd fun at a time when TNA had just gotten back on track as being a mostly action-based promotion. It made the Styles-Daniels rivalry fresh again by being so weirdly cartoony, made Kaz's personality finally shine through and helped make TNA's summer 2012 the peak of their week-to-week programming.
