It works in the same way Lucha Underground works. If you don't judge Lucha Underground super seriously like you judge the most basic, pure Cornette form of wrestling and instead just look at it as a form of entertainment that happens to revolve around wrestling it's fine.

Same with this. I don't judge by serious wrestling standards. I judge it as stand-alone entertainment. And as stand-alone entertainment it's ridiculous in the best possible way. It's basically Matt Hardy saying "if wrestling/sports entertainment can't be taken seriously in 2016, then why not go the complete opposite direction and milk some entertainment out of the absurdity of it?"
