Matt Hardy continues to own. Brother Nero has been deleted.

They're back to Thursday nights again.

Supposedly they're getting sold but who knows.

Absolutely nothing else in TNA matters at all.

The announcers flipped their poo poo way harder for D-Lo Brown. Plus this was Tito's 2nd(third?) time in TNA.

No, Cruz was dating Leva Bates. His tag partner was Jay Rios. He's who Mia is talking about. Cruz and Rios were Los Ben Dejos while Mia & Leva were the Lucha Sisters. They all kinda were together doing angles in FIP and stuff at one point before all the drama happened.

I checked out of TNA sometime around the time Kennedy went over there. I look in occasionally and it always seems like some traveling circus run by insane people that I can't really follow. Fun stuff but not something I care to follow with regularity.

But then this Broken Matt Hardy thing went viral and I just... I need to know more.

If I understand correctly, Matt cheated to win something, Jeff confronted him, they feuded, Matt took a Swanton Bomb from the ceiling or something, he came back with furry hair and British accent and wanted to "delete" his brother who he calls Nero. They signed a contract in a barn, they fought in a yard with fireworks, and then Jeff Hardy got "deleted" on social media. Is there ANY context for the hair and the accent and what deleted means and what is happening?

TNA's Indian partner, Sony Six, made a comic about TNA. Hold on to your animes

quote:

Sony Six (a part of Sony Pictures Networks India, SPN) is taking innovation to a whole new level by launching its first-ever digital comic strip for one of its wrestling properties, Total Non-Stop Action (TNA).

The inaugural comic strip featured on the digital platforms (Twitter and Facebook) of Sony Six on August 3, 2016. The initiative features some of the biggest names in wrestling who are associated with TNA. Some of the key characters include Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, EC III, Gail Kim, Bram, Lashley, Moose and President Dixie Carter.

Diamond Comics, one of the largest publishing houses in India, has been roped in to make some real-life images of the wrestlers. The digital initiative aims to reach out to the target audience through unique content on social media.

The TNA comic strips are inspired by superhero comics who are larger than life and promise to generate a lot excitement for the viewers. The comic strips will serve as a preview to the TNA Impact show for the coming week and the rivalry portrayed between the wrestlers will then continue onscreen for some explosive action.

The comic strip will have a vocal altercation between EC III and Miracle, as they threaten to take down the other one down at the TNA Heavyweight Championship. The comic strip will be a teaser to EC III and Miracle’s face-off in the Bound for Glory playoffs, thus increasing the excitement levels for the upcoming episode.

The channel has taken the digital route to reach out to teenagers and the youth, who are more equipped with the medium. The strips promise to capture the imagination of a young audience through this distinctive form of storytelling for wrestling entertainment fans in India.

Rajesh Kaul, President, Distribution and Sports Business, Sony Pictures Networks, said, “At SPN, we are looking at innovative ways to reach out to our consumers and keep them engaged at all times. Through the digital comic strip, we aim to build and sustain that interest and excitement for TNA.”

He added, “Wrestling has been an integral part of the Indian sporting culture for many years and now, is now growing rapidly in the fight sport category on a global scale. Today’s youth is in awe of the whole ‘superhero culture’ and hence we have used this digital initiative as a medium to reach out to our target audience.”

TNA boasts some of the biggest international wrestlers, and has also roped in India’s Mahabali Shera. TNA Impact Wrestling is telecast every week on Tuesday, at 1700-1830 hours on Sony Six and Sony Six HD. The digital comic strip was released a week prior on the social media pages of Sony Six and Sony Six HD.

As far as I know there's no explanation for the accent and hair streak aside from the fact that he is BROKEN, also you forgot the drone army he sent after Brother Nero just to distract him enough for matt to gently caress up his lawn. Never forget the drone army. Or Vanguard One and it's holograms.



Drone warfare

Vanguard shows Matt his next deletion target

Hardy's accept Young Buck challenge

Looking at recent videos Matt Hardy seems to enjoy threatening to eat things now, he recently threatened to eat EC III's cats.

Imagine if when you were 10 you were asked to play a great supervillain.

Now imagine that said 10-year old you was put in the body of a well-off 40-year old.

Broken Matt Hardy is the character Matt Hardy playing what the character would think an amazing supervillain would be.

I don't know which offends me the most : the terrible color scheme, the ugly photo tracing art, dude in the middle's trapezius, the lovely footer and its 1992 font, or the Impact logo.
I think I'll go with the Impact logo, I'm still surprised someone thought "yep, this is good, this is our logo" post 2010. Then again, it's TNA.

This is a surprisingly accurate depiction of TNA's product. All we get is weird posturing by a bunch of weirdly drawn guys and the actual action, how ECIII gets knocked out by Moose, happens between panels.
