For those not in the know, here's a recap I ripped off which tells the tale of how we got to the point of this epic conclusion:

I've not watched regularly since 2011 (since, ironically, the Jeff Hardy thing at Victory Road), but I've managed to catch a great deal of this feud and here's what I make of it:

Jeff Hardy had an "I Quit match" with Matt Hardy in which he did a super-duper ultimate Swanton Bomb from a staircase in the arena onto Matt through some tables, causing the "I Quit" match end in a no-contest because they were both fucked up and had to be carted out -- go figure.
Some time later, Jeff Hardy was attacked by Willow, which was weird (the whole feud is weird, just go with it) because Willow was actually an alter-ego created by Jeff Hardy that he wrestled in TNA as for a period of time, and yet he was being attacked by his own alter-ego somehow. And then there were MULTIPLE Willows attacking Jeff, and it was finally revealed that the main false Willow was, in fact, Matt Hardy, sporting a new, rather interesting look.

So, at that point, crux of the feud became that this super ultra special awesome Swanton that Jeff did during the "I Quit" match completely "broke" Matt Hardy. And when I say, "broke", I mean, "caused him to grow out and poof his hair and dye a streak of it blonde, call himself "Broken" Matt Hardy, refer to Jeff exclusively as "Brother Nero", and use a goofy, exaggerated EVIL~! accent he didn't have before like he was doing a bad Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd impression".

This has resulted in god-tier acting from both Matt AND Jeff, and even Reby Sky (Matt's legit wife and mother of their child), who's appeared in some of the vignettes and is now Matt's heel valet. One such segment involved Jeff going to Matt's house to sign a contract for a match, only for Matt to lure Jeff into a barn with a wrestling ring in it (and a round wooden table, for no apparent reason at that point) to sign said contract, and then Reby pops in, pretending to throw her baby at Jeff (turns out it was a doll) as a distraction so that Matt could Side Effect Jeff through the aforementioned wooden round table (hey, there WAS a reason for that!).

Anyway, they've had some matches and some fights and the already-explained Oscar-worthy acting, and now it's all come to a head in what is being called the "Final Deletion" -- or, as Matt said it, "THA FINAAAAAL!! DAAALEEESHAAAAN!!!". By which he means, "the 'final deletion' of Jeff Hardy", because Matt's been claiming that he's been solely responsible for all of the Hardys' success in wrestling, and to that end, this "Final Deletion" match will not only take place in the Hardys' hometown of Cameron, NC, but it will also be for "control of the entire Hardy brand".

So, that's the best way I think I could sum up the feud as it's happened so far. Do yourself a favor and look up some of the segments if you can, because this is some kind of fucking wrestling fever dream.

Russo approved!

So nobody is actually getting deleted?

Guess that rules out either Matt or Jeff trying to attack the other with a giant eraser.

Watching Impact for the first time in years. Thoughts so far: I like the way TNA is filmed, feels more 'up close' and 'less refined' than WWE (in a good way). Honeycomb logo looks cheap and needs to go. Maria has 'crazy eyes' now and I wish Lashley wasn't on the show, never been a fan of his.

Honestly, the most disturbing thing from that whole episode was Bram making out with that chick in full clown makeup.

I guess I can understand just sitting back and enjoying something without thinking about it, but I watch a WRESTLING program to see WRESTLING. That last "match" was a terrible WRESTLING match. They just really seemed to gloss over the reason anyone knows who they are. At least in Lucha Underground, while the stories are ridiculously over the top, the WRESTLING action is top notch.

It seemed like he finally "relaxed" on the mic alittle bit. He was a lot better than he's been in the past.

Bobby Lashley shouldn't talk. Mic skills haven't improved in 12 years.

I actually think he's gotten ALOT better this year since they have given him a mic. I just think it's his "tone" if it's the right word. He just is a soft spoken guy.... and it seems off considering he's 6 foot something and looks like he's chiseled out of stone.

Jim Ross enjoyed The Final Deletion
On the Final Deletion match from Impact: “Enjoyed the TNA presentation on Tuesday night on POP TV headlined by the unique and creative Final Deletion Match featuring brothers Matt and Jeff Hardy. This bout had some terrific production elements including no commentary and a ‘spot on’ music bed running throughout the presentation. This was fun to watch because it was original while still sticking to many of the old school values and principles that many of us enjoy. I applaud both Matt and Jeff for their creativity, their efforts and their desire to present a unique, pro wrestling bout that had a great story going in which provided viewers with significant anticipation and they then delivered a strong performance and outcome. The Final Deletion match was one of the most unique and entertaining concepts that I’ve seen in years. Plus Matt Hardy deserves praise for re-inventing himself as a classic villain for this presentation and Jeff, of course, is simply one of the great performers that our biz has seen in decades. I’m proud to call both brothers my friends and they were two of our greatest signees in WWE while I was working in talent relations.”

Watched the match. Since when did TNA turn into WMAC Masters?


(I have no idea if anyone will get that reference, but tossing it out there anyway.)

+88,000 viewers for a ridiculous looking Hardy vs. Hardy battle put on by a promotion that people have ignored/buried for the past year and a half is kind of a lot, Droford.

They got less people to watch than watched the first episodes on POP and they needed a dumb gimmick "match" to pull that off. It'll be back to 300k next week.

What manner of video was that supposed to be, Brother KIRO? It was not amusing in the least, and the picture being confined to the bottom right, over a larger blurred video was an affront to my vision.

My verdict is that video needs to be DAHLEETED

I don't know I think people will want to see more of Broken Matt Hardy. Might not stay at 410,000 but I'd imagine it would be higher than average.

Let us not forget, though, that Matt Hardy is not the first wrestler who had a penchant for DELETION:

No Matt just came up with the Broken Matt Hardy character out of nowhere after their I Quit match and has just recently became really committed to it.

Think that was done to throw off Youtube and you aren't the first of your kind to have your vision stricken by this setup Brother Jaw.

Why must you hate fun?

Seriously, it isn't like it is backyard kids trying to get some sort of notiriety. No, this is intentionally B-movie material. I keep expect to see silhouettes of Servo, Crow, and Mike/Joel. This is the logical eventuality of Lucha Underground vignettes. This self-deprecating bullshit is far and away worlds better than the UNINTENTIONALLY bad regular bullshit TNA regularly produces. That's part of what makes this work so well.

Seriously. I already know TNA can't be trusted to run a normal wrestling show that will hold my interest. I've given them opportunity after opportunity and it always ends with me feeling like I've wasted my time.

I am SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to tune in if their entire show was over the top, ridiculous shit like this.

They have gone full e-fed.

The bump is one of those good/bad type situations, the good being it was pretty larger in terms of percentages but also bad because of how small TNA's viewerbase is on POP TV.

Wonder if the Director's Cut being released very quickly might be a reason for why the bump was just 88k viewers. Almost all the real hype for the show was just for the Final Deletion so them releasing the video is sort of like Hulu replays for RAW. No need to watch the show if you missed it since the most important thing is officially online.

lol it is pretty much the worst thing I've ever seen. In saying that, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Don't think I could ever watch it again though.

The directors cut was made public accidentally. The official link was DAHLEETED pretty quick.

I guess I just don't "get it." A lot of people are saying how much they've enjoyed this, and I'm just scratching my head wondering why the hell anyone would be okay with wasting 17 minutes of their life watching this crap. In fact this made me wonder if this is how non-wrestling fans see "normal" wrestling shows. I get that wrestling has in the past and always will have a goofy, nonsensical side, but this crap took that to a whole new level. I found myself feeling legit embarrassed for the first time ever about being a wrestling fan. I know it's meant to be B-Movie material, but I just can't understand why they'd want it to be B-Movie material. Maybe it's just that I don't get the love of bad movies to begin with. Crap like Sharknado has never appealed to me and always seemed like a waste of time and effort. Meh...

Pretty sure that's the point. It's so ridiculous that it's funny. Have watched it 3 times now and laugh my ass off at it every time.
