| The relationship between The Hardys and Impact Wrestling has never been worst.
Yesterday (Fri. March 10, 2017) ‘Broken’ Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy defended their Ring Of Honor (ROH) Tag Team Championships at the ROH 15th Anniversary pay-per-view (PPV). PWInsider reports that due to legal issues Hardy was unable to act out his ‘Broken’ gimmick on the PPV, as Anthem issued a cease and desist order to the PPV providers. The report also suggests that this is not an order from Jeff Jarret, but Anthem who believes that the gimmick is ‘their intellectual property.’
Impact Wrestling President Ed Nordholm took to Twitter to thank Matt for his time with the company, and noted that his ‘Broken Brilliance’ will be left behind in Impact:
"@MATTHARDYBRAND Broken Universe will always be here. Kudos to the creative team behind the vision @JeremyBorash @paradysexoxo @Lagana @Billy"
This sparked a vicious Twitter rant from Matt’s wife, Reby Hardy, who revealed that Impact is suing The Hardys over their ‘Broken’ gimmick, and even tried to attack her father as well. She also stated “Good luck explaining to your talent that their pay checks are late (again) because you’re spending all your $$ suing the Hardys.” |

| Hopefully TNA wins so if they ever do come back to WWE we don't have to deal with this lame gimmick. |

| Matt would be a lame duck in the WWE without that gimmick. Jeff would probably have something going for him, however. |

| If he goes back to WWE Matt should be like "Version 73.0.7.20" or something ridiculous like that. |

| Whatever Matt does in the WWE will likely be watered down a'f and probably wouldn't get over as much as it would anywhere else |

| Sad to see it end this way but if they are going to the WWE I rather not have WWE get their hands on it, rather have Matt end it on his terms after all it is what has made him such a hot ticket item. Hate it all you want but the gimmick made Matt a lot of money and made him at least for awhile more Popular than Jeff. They have the biggest contract as short as it is in ROH and that was all thanks to the broken gimmick. call it a meme, call it stupid, call it backyard bullshit, it was a success rather you like it or not |

I'm pretty sure this isn't ending it on his terms if he can't use it because of a lawsuit. Also, saying "hate it all you want, it was still successful" in literally every topic about Broken Matt Hardy won't make the people who hate it have any different of a stance on it. |

I said I rather Have i end on his terms I didn't say it is ending his terms. If anything from what i hear TNA's new owners have been total shit heads to a lot of the talents who have left and some who have stayed, the more things change with TNA the more they stay the same. also Pretty sure Double J probably call them offering some gold bars. Just stating the fact |

The Final Deletion almost seems like a vanity project when you consider Big Money Matt/The Hardys were paying for the Final Deletion and all the other wacky footage from their compound. It certainly did raise his profile I'll give you that. |

| The Broken Hardy's IMO saved TNA for going under. It was the buzz they created and if you look back the highest rated TNA Shows last year had something to do with the Hardyz. Matt reinvited himself, and yes at first I thought it was stupid, but when Final Deletion happen it made a lot of people fall in love with the character. Like Lucha Underground it was something different and people love different, plus when everyone is having fun doing something they love makes it all the better. And the backyard wrestling, no that were matches and events that happen at House Hardy, a landmark for TNA pretty much during their time. Cause when something was going down at House Hardy people watched.
With all this attention Hardy where getting, it got Anthem's attention to buy TNA from Dixie and pretty much save that company for the time being. and you got a lot of TNA old to come back as well...but after everything Hardyz have done for TNA, they and Anthem do this to the Hardyz. Not just trying to Trademark the Gimmicks that the Hardyz, JB and Billy came up with but tried to get money from the Hardyz own merch website. Than they try to get a ROH PPV pulled. And Now thanks to all that, I actually now favor ROH over TNA. For years I would have rather watch TNA than ROH cause I like the underdog, plus ROH bored the shit out of me. But now thanks to Anthems bullshit and Daniels becoming world Champion I rather watch ROH and pretty much could give two shits about Impact Wrestling and Jeff Jarrett.
Honestly Fuck Impact Wrestling. Chance after chance I have given them because I didn't wanna lose faith. And Yeah they have done underhanded stuff before, but to try to do the crap they are doing to a couple of guys who pretty much save their company and try to fuck ROH over. They have finally lost my faith in them ever becoming something. And Also fuck Double J cause he is behind some of this too. His failed GFW, his Gold bar scam, fuck that Memphis midcard piece of shit. Smash 1000 guitar and never drew a dime.
I want the Hardyz to win this not just because I like the Broken Hardyz, but on the principle of thing. The shit they pulled with the Hardyz fuck'em, shit they did with Drew fuck'em, and shit they try to pull on ROH fuck'em.
