TNA or Matt, it looks like Matt's got a pretty sweet estate, how much loving money did TNA pay him, or WWE for that matter? Dude must have been smart where it counted, saving his cash while Jeff used it to make aluminum mummy friends and dumb trailer park art

They didn't need to, one of the Hardy's has one already because they use it to film Jeff's stupid riding stunts.

Someone told me that the Hardy's pretty much paid for this completely out of their own wallet.

Protip: The Hardys are rich as gently caress, largely because of that sweet, sweet Attitude Era money.

In all honesty they're probably the two most likely to be paid on time, every time, in TNA because if Jeff Hardy leaves the company is right hosed for anyone resembling a draw. Not that Jeff Hardy is a draw in TNA especially, but he's the only one there that will ever get anyone to a TNA show, with respect to Baraka Dax or whatever.

Like the story I'm hearing is that TNA filmed a contract signing segment, they were going to use, and the Hardy's went off and did their own thing and then gave it to them. They pretty much have the freedom to do whatever they want, and the whole feud has been done by them.

Yeah Matt especially seems to have quite a lot of pull within the company. I imagine the signing of Everett and Lee, as well as Helms being in a prominent onscreen role in 2016 are all largely his doing. No way does Big John Gaburick know who Trevor Lee is.

Jeff is a huge mover of merch for them. When he left the 1st time, his merch was still ranked as a top seller 6 months after he quit. The Hardys are lords of turd mountain.

Whoever filmed that definitely spent too much money on a drone and is trying really hard to justify their purchase by using it for shots that don't need it.

Like the fact that they used a drone to film Lashley in this gym...

I suspect at least part of it is that WWE puts its whole crew on the road for 300 days a year while a TNA commitment is only 3-4 grueling taping days every 2 months. No wonder Mike and Maria look so relaxed.

When I read, "Shocking final moments of #IMPACTonPop," I assumed that meant they'd been dropped from their station (again), and this was the final TNA segment to air on tv. I'm a little bit heartbroken that isn't the case. This would've been the perfect ending to the TNA saga.

I don't know about TNA as a whole but I like this Hardy Boys soap opera/performance art thing going on for sure. This is why movies and shows that try and wink at the camera and know they're bad have trouble with the "bad, but we're doing it on purpose" thing. You can't beat the magic that comes from someone putting their hearts into something genuinely and it turning out to be such a trainwreck.
