The Brilliance Of Broken Matt Hardy

[@darylcastillo1439]

This man got several people, words, gestures, and items over when he was broken. A truly iconic gimmick.

[@DonaldMeyers-v8c]

Lol. It's a dilapidated boat!

[@LouieV6]

The dude managed to get something that many considered to be the worst gimmicks in professional wrestling over , and revived his career as a singles competitor. You gotta give it props.

[@speedwaynutt]

The Gimmick that brought a lot of eyes back to TNA.

[@xxreyoxx]

Broken Matt was real actual character work and development. Young character wrestlers should take notes.

[@Briansgate]

Broken Matt was fantastic, and the Lake of Reincarnation was a great gimmick that should have been used more effectively. Imagine Matt gets hurt, goes into the Lake, and someone else comes out. That person just keeps wrestling as Matt Hardy, so the character is never off tv, then when its time for real Matt to come back, then just go back into the Lake and have real Matt come back out. And just do that continuously.

[@Day9294_]

This is such a cool freakn idea!

[@siegfriedc2332]

Still cracks me up when Abyss fell into the lake, and turned into Joseph Parks.

[@christianJ8869]

Brother Nero......... I KNEW you'd come....

[@TheDrunkLawyer]

I still say this occasionally when someone shows up late 😂😂

[@siegfriedc2332]

I say this whenever my nephew plays Devil May Cry as Nero.

[@toadster464]

Everyone forgets that Bray Wyatt was thrown into the Lake of Reincarnation, went on Hiatus and came back as the Fiend. Coincidence, I think not!

[@Drail2089]

He had the tag run with Matt after the lake in 2018. Only after Matt left to get surgery did Bray go on hiatus to develop the Fiend

[@justinditzler4168]

No one forgets

[@JehariStarr]

The Broken Matt persona was one of the best wrestling gimmicks ever in my opinion. It really felt good to see Matt finally get his chance in the spotlight and gain popularity during that time, since all of us loved Jeff way more than him over the years. And although I’m pretty sure there were people that did like him, Jeff was just way more popular with the audience. But the moment that character was born, he became a superstar himself and was no longer in his younger brother’s shadow. He truly deserved it.

[@Day9294_]

I was one of the few people that liked Matt over Jeff. Matt is awesome. Loved every version of him. And this broken matt thing was freakn great. The expedition for gold was one of my favorite things ever too

[@lmdiazzz088]

i can tell this man is an entertainment genius just by watching this clip

[@joaquinvilla2986]

I miss that gimmick of broken matt

[@MrKurtBarlow]

I have two shirts from this gimmick. So transcending.

[@craigdale5611]

He was VERY strange he was like a crazy dehinged matt and the british and jamacan accent is so true. I also went around screaming `DELETE DELETE DELETE' 😂😂😂😂

[@gerardovega4641]

Ppl underestimate the brilliance of Matt hardy!

[@Parlimant_Strifey]

what is Matt talking about, that is just another side of Matt's origin story. It is no gimmick, trying to put down his Broken Matt personality like that by calling it a gimmick. His best friend, Vanguard-1, would be very disappointed by this other Matt Hardy personality. Broken Matt is constantly excluded from doing interviews lately.

[@BrndnNZT48V2.0]

Wonderful was the first one that came to mind. I use it in bad situations as sarcastic remark to make myself laugh so i dont get overly upset.

[@MadKing762]

Still to this day there’s some words I have in my everyday vocabulary because of broken matt😂😂

[@360entertainment2]

Matt’s a huge inspiration for me, love that guy!

[@zachsmith1634]

Jeff was always my favorite, I never really cared about Matt. Until he debuted Broken Matt and then he became my favorite Hardy. At least while he doing Broken Matt. When he is other versions of Matt, I don’t really care lmao.

[@Joel-ym3ij]

Broken Matt feud with Bray Wyatt got be to watch wrestling again. It was so over the top and facinating promos.

[@Slick5150]

When I first saw the Broken Matt Hardy stuff, I thought it was one of the stupidest things ever. Then I became more indifferent to it but once they got to the wacky stuff like Matt talking to animals and Jeff Hardy acting all crazy that's when I was like " yeah I like this now" 😂😂

[@mrlaidbackgaming4353]

We need Matt in wwe2k25 💯

[@mrbransformer4184]

They practically invented the Cinematic match!

[@mrbransformer4184]

Hopefully this interview is never deleted

[@bashcrash9148]

Bring back Version 1

[@sbj97]

🐐🐐

[@gregoryryan44]

Final deletion was so good. A dilapidated boat and shooting fireworks. A+. Good times. George Washington the giraffe? Hahahah

[@philiphanan1493]

I miss the lawnmower of deletion.

[@360entertainment2]

I wish Paul Bearer were still with us so he could’ve had a conversation with Broken Matt!

[@sbj97]

🐐🐐🐐

[@krissanders987]

That character was so entertaining. I only watched TNA cuz of that character.

[@StrongArmEntertainment]

I always wondered how it started

[@dontcareisaidit]

We need a clip of Matt and jeff Goldblum doing that 'yehehehehehehssss' back and forth lol

[@aallen9287]

Oh lord, someone make a ten minute clip of this PLEASE 😂

[@JayCord00]

He should be in this gimmick still, it was the only gimmick he had, that was good in single.

[@scarfade1635]

Yes laugh reminds me of paul bearer

[@aallen9287]

Broken Matt was hilarious and I enjoyed it in AEW. Yeah, I like goofy wrestling 😊

[@Day9294_]

I wish broken matt would have appeared in aew with a crowd. He made his debut in an empty arena. I hated there wasn't any people there chanting delete with him

[@aallen9287]

@Day9294_ , same. What could have been.....

[@neilsmith9066]

He actually looks bad from the leg drop from the ropes. He looks like he's had spinal surgery

[@davidbullock1101]

Stop! That was, wonderful. Delete!

[@SnowWhiteTheU2]

It was always cheesy to me, no shade.

[@Off_Brand_Mex]

Brilliance? That shit was cringe af

[@yousefreno2089]

Broken Matt Hardy is thee worst Matt Hardy in my opinion.

[@kameronmartin6974]

Gimmick sucks

[@scrubsscrubs694]

That was one of the worst things I've seen in a wrestling ring. One of the final straws that had me stop watching wrestling for good

[@Day9294_]

Why? That was one of the best things ever. But then again, I like goofy gimmicky stuff in wrestling. Makes it fun to me

[@planexshifter]

Brilliance!?!?!? GTFO of here

[@kikiki4592]

Broke Matty was the worst thing I had seen in pro wrestling in ages. Indy level at best.
