I see TNA really capitalized on the momentum they had from the first Final Deletion.

I think it is more likely than not to be better than the finals of the Cruiserweight Classic.

If anybody hasn't been keeping up, TNA has kept up their pace of turning at least one person per week. This week it was Moose after he just showed up as a lackey for the top heel, last week it was Drew McIntyre. And it seems the Hardys are full faces in this feud.

There were two very comical moments on the most recent episode though. Maxwell playing Jeff's theme song on a mini-piano and wifey literally chasing Rose Marie around the house with an actual sword. Nobody has actually attempted to murder someone with a sword in professional wrestling since the Bezerker.

So someone on SquaredCircle reddit created a nice montage video of the evolution of Matt Hardy from the jobber days to Team Extreme to V1 to feud with Edge to being Broken.

My goodness, he was so dang bland for the most part of his career. The only times he looked interesting was during V1 and, obviously, him being broken.

last week saw mrs hardy chasing the decay person through the house with a sword, maxel playing jeffs music, and apparently coming up we have matt having jeff fight a kangaroo that the soul of smokin joe fraizer resides in as an effort to make jeff a fighter rather than a spot monkey

i really think you all should watch it
it was similar yet totally different to final deletion

its more like a b-movie in a horror genre instead this time but still with all the absurdity

also i loved it

The kangaroo was amazing. Are we supposed to believe they killed off Jeff Hardy though?

The other stuff....I commend them for trying new stuff and attempting to make some of it look more MMA like. The press conference was a nice change of pace. Thought it might actually go off without physicality too. That new belt is a convoluted piece of ridiculousness though.

I was not aware there was a Lake of Reincarnation. It appears Jeff Hardy is still alive.

Just watched this. Really, really wish I would have made time earlier. So many

s.

Here's a nice take on the whole project:

THE FINAL DELETION IS AN (UN)IRONIC MASTERPIECE

Had no idea where else to put this since this seems to be the defacto TNA thread and I can't even find the other one, but I've become somewhat of a regular watcher (or at least DVRer) again mostly due to Broken Hardy.

If you strip out that it was lol TNA and watched it with no outside influences this week, ECIII and Eli Drake might have had one of the best back and forth promos I have seen in quite a while this week. Really made me want to see these two fight.

Whenever I've had time to check out the show since Billy took over, it generally has been good from the creative and structural side. But they just don't have the horses anymore; the roster is so weak compared to ROH (plus the sprinkling of New Japan guys), not to mention WWE main. Sandow is even shockingly even worse in TNA than he was as Macho Mandow.

Yeah, Sandow has been exposed in TNA. He's a mid-carder. Hoping Cody is able to take the ball and run with it though.

Pretty funny how they can't call him Cody Rhodes, but they can say "Cody and Brandi Rhodes" when he comes out with Brandi because WWE doesn't own the term Brandi Rhodes. Cody is doing better than Sandow but I'm not sure how many TNA appearances he will make. He is doing the ROH PPV in December and did the What Culture PPV the other day.

I'm expecting a similar crash and burn for Cody. He did the "undashing" Cody Rhodes and "Dashing" Cody Rhodes very well. But failed miserably at portraying any long-term main event gimmick.

If Cody is doing the super indie thing and wrestling everywhere, he won't have to have a long term main event gimmick in that sense. The most successful indie acts in recent history include a white guy who thought he was a generic luchador and two guys coming out to Hanson songs and talking about getting 5 star matches and Dave Meltzer; not exactly serious gimmicks.

Meltzer just tweeted that Billy Corgan is suing TNA.

There seems to be a lot more to the situation. Rumor going around that Billy and Dixie got into a heated argument and Dixie's husband assaulted/put his hands on Billy to back him off. Dixie's husband is part of the lawsuit and Billy has successful gotten a restraining order from both of them.

So apparently on last night's episode a bunch of wrestlers came out to no music because the license with the composer had run out and they didn't renew it. I think it's safe to say that TNA is at an all time low.

So, in light of every behind-the-scenes drama that TNA is going through, atm, and I'm not one that want to wish for a company to die, quite the opposite actually, but, WHY WON'T THIS COMPANY DIE!!!!

If only this company die, and another new company is born and gets a good TV deal and takes in all of the workers and employees from TNA and gets compensated nicely and on time and be not run by incompetent people. That would be dandy.
