BROKEN BRILLIANCE: Hardys Leaving TNA
Galloway also leaving. Looks like Dixie leaving has actually made TNA worse somehow Been rumors for a while that WWE were interested in the Hardys again, but I wonder if they'd be interested in the new wrestling in Japan if they weren't offered a good deal or anything? |

The other rumours I've been hearing is that Double J wants to make TNA more traditional again, so the broken shit would be watered down anyway. At least this way it'll be in the biggest stage if they did go to WWE.

I feel like Galloway in his old "Drew McIntyre" persona probably has more potential to succeed. I hope they re-sign him and put him on SD!. He could be a breath of fresh air for the IC division there.

I'm with Vito...not interested in seeing the Hardys again in WWE. They had their time as a team and Jeff won the big one, but I don't want to see them be treated as a novelty act that return for a few months and disappear à la The Dudleys.
Also it's highly unlikely either would ever get a big singles push, especially in the "New Era". |

I could only accept The Broken Hardys in WWE if they're continuing the Expedition for Gold.
They still need to beat the Club, Alpha, and New Day to be the best tag team in all of time and space. |

Just give The Hardys creative control over Main Event. Let them book all kinds of wacky shit like what used to happen during NXT when it was still a main roster show. I'd actually go out of my way to watch it.

Hell, just give them a Network show. It needs content anyway and it'll be better than Holy Foley.

The backend business stuff in TNA appears to be much, much worse than when Dixies was there. Fuck me.

Give him creative? Why would they do that? Rediculous to even ask.

Well he's done the best creative that TNA have had in years, so it's well worth asking, especially when there are other interested parties that will probably offer more money, sounds like it was the first step in the negotiation. Easy to just say no as I wouldn't want to give that to anyone in my company either, then just keep negotiating
The response and everything after that is the fucking crazy part. |

Nope, not really. There is no reason not to ask for it. Sounds like TNA are just worse without Dixie if that were even possible. Negotiation continued after being told no, so it couldn't have been that bad. They just acted like a cunt which set Jeff off and Matt was still negotiating even after that and got sent a stupid deal.

Could see if this was a purely financial move considering TNA's new owners already stated they wanted to bring costs down but TNA management still being just as bad with new owners is not a good sign.
Figured out of all the potential free agents, the Hardys had the best chance of staying. Matt liked the creative freedom given and Jeff liked the less stressful traveling schedule. Seems really dumb considering the Broken stuff got TNA a lot of exposure last year. Not their fault the rest of TNA couldn't carry the load so they couldn't really build off of it. |

If they go to the WWE, I guarantee pretty much the only thing that stays is Matt Hardy saying "DELETE". The rest would be gone.
For that reason I see them staying on the indies or Japan for awhile, just so they can keep doing their shtick a bit longer. |

Looks like Matt Hardy might not be able to bring over the Broken gimmick to the WWE or any new company he signs with.

Looks like a lot more wrestlers could end up bolting when their deals are done. PWI stating the 10% cut TNA wanted from the Hardys for non-TNA events is going to become the standard for all new contracts.
Same for royalty payments getting slashed and paychecks getting tweaked to now be per date instead of per show. Means if TNA/Impact decides to do a bunch of tapings in a day, they only have to pay the talent once and not per episode they appeared in for those tapings. |

I know the Hardyz would be great on smackdown, however Raw would benefit greatly having The Broken Hardy Boyz on the Raw Tag Scene, honestly and have the Revival be called over to Raw.
