Jason Jordan is gonna get Reigns over. Crazy. Also, he has to be in the IC title three-way. His double Northern Lights was HUGE. He's getting good out there.
Also, Reigns is an idiot for not going to the ring immediately after Angle made the tag title match no DQ. It's The Shield. Group attacks is kinda their thing. Still wish The Bar did anything for me outside the last two minutes of their tag matches.
Matt already made Bray look obsolete with one promo. They should be a tag team and then a stable when Brother Nero returns. It can revive Bray's character. The crowd was insane for Broken Matt.
Elias doesn't even need to wrestle. Just be the Singing Guy. Maybe be someone's muscle.

Serious question: How many people really know the "Broken/Woken" Matt Hardy character? Wasn't Impact getting less than 400K viewers per week? How was the crowd so into in when that represents 1/8 of a regular RAW show?
Kevin Kelly: "Mr. Austin, would you like to comment on Wade Keller's Take that endorsing the XFL hurts your anti-authority character?"
Steve Austin: "Oh shit, he actually said that? I thought the boys in the back were ribbing me!"
Kelly: "No, he really said that. Did they tell you the part about you sitting in the stands, looking all skeptical?"
Austin: "AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah... oh man that was too much."
I haven't watched TNA/Impact in years, maybe since The Main Event Mafia. But because of social media and RIGHT HERE ON THIS VERY BOARD, I know about Brother Nero, Reby, Senor Benjamin, the epic outdoor spectacles, drones, etc.
WWE crowds were yelling "delete" as soon as the Hardyz came back to the WWE. Admittedly, those Mania week crowds are rabid, vocal, deep-dish rasslin fans ...
But I think some of last night's live reaction was many audience member's initial exposure to it and their possible legitimate delight in some fresh batshit gimmickry.

Maybe less than 400K? I know by the end, it was pretty clear it wasn't actually helping the Impact week to week numbers. It did seem to be one of those things that became popular with wrestling fans in clips on YouTube and elsewhere. It also doesn't seem to take a lot of wrestling fans to make a lot of noise.
The Broken stuff definitely took off on the Internet. I didn't watch Impact at all, but as the Broken insanity went further week by week, I'd definitely see it on YouTube and talked about all over online. It was very viral. I just hope Vince somewhat lets Matt do his thing and doesn't try to take it over and ruin it.
Originally posted by graves9But only on the Impact Wrestling you tube channel right? Many you tube accounts put up the final deletion.
None of those other accounts have more than a few thousand views. Even the bigger accounts within the IWC have less than 20,000. When you search for Final Deletion, the official TNA video is the #1 hit. There's no point in watching bootleg versions when there's a perfectly fine official version.
The IWC isn't as big as people like to imagine it to be.
Well I commend Edge for being opotmistic but I don't think he was quite enjoying himself with the whole thing. You know,no Bret etc. Plus most people in that room knew that the best match was not TLC 4(a beautiful spot fest...
