Hell, you could even have him come in as broken straight away and say that's how he became after Mr Meekmahhhn fired him all those years ago. Lol at him being exposed though when you've got people like Dean "I'm so crazy but not really I just do this shitty clothesline" Ambrose right at the top of the card. Shifty gimmicks don't matter if you can talk yourself out of them, and Matt certainly can.

I think the most convincing thing you said in there was that there are plenty of shifty gimmicks already near the top of WWE. That's actually a fair point. I still don't think Broken Matt would work in WWE. It's a "no one is really watching this" ironic gimmick that works in a backyard fed.

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?"
