abhunter Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 The broken Hardys were a gimmick that somehow captured lightning in a bottle. Due to its absolute absurdity, its definitely a gimmick that couldnt be replicated, now after months of it being teased and the Hardys sitting on it in legal battle, I fear that the hype and the desire for this gimmick is dead, and I feel that even if they do the broken give me now it wont have the Appeal it once did and I fear it wont be successful.

Lil' Kazu Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 No it hasn't. Is it as over as it was when the Hardys made it's return? No it isn't. Can it get back to that level? Only time will tell. Would it be more likely to get over if Jeff was around? Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Smackage *MOTSP* Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 If it freshens up The Hardyz boring return to WWE then Im all for it But I hope Matt Hardy goes solo with the gimmick, and Jeff goes solo when he returns. The Hardyz as a Tag Team just seems like too much of a nostalgia act in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey D. Jiggy Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 No, not all of it. Maybe the break actually helps its run in the WWE, because we would've been oversaturated by now, had we gotten it from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 WWE has done of poor job of introducing the gimmick...and Matt Hardy has lost his personal momentum as a performer, but the gimmick itself still has potential to bounce back. WWE would be wise to just give Hardy the ball and let him run with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brother Nero part of the Broken gimmick always felt unnecessary though, and that's when the whole thing got way over the top. Broken Matt is fine on his own...that's what TD is saying. Jeff can be a solo competitor as himself...Matt can be a solo performer as Broken Matt...and there is no reason to have them together as a tag team. Honestly, I agree. If these dudes are going out soon...then let them go out by accomplishing a little bit more on their own. Hell...I wonder if Jeff can do Willow, now that Impact has this "Impact doesn't own any gimmicks" business. Never a big fan of Willow...but it might be something he wants to do.

If youd have quoted my entire first post instead of only half of it, youd realise that I said the Broken gimmick would freshen up The Hardyz in the WWE. But I would prefer them to go solo. Perhaps put more effort into having good conversations, and less effort into trying to prove people wrong, k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestInTheWorld614 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I think it started to lose steam while they were still in TNA. I have no idea how far WWE will go with it or what it will be like but I am interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardd Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 MRN sucks sometimes but I agree with him here. The only Indy wrestling and TNA Ive watched this year (not including live stuff in Toronto) have been the Hardy tag matches. In their current state in WWE, yeah. They blow. But before they came, the Hardys as a team were *censored*ing fun. So if WWE let them be how they were, they would be far from a nostalgia act.

Lunchbox Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Think it depends on how much reign WWE give Matt. If they keep the leash short and keep the character somewhat grounded i think it will fail. If they let him go full crazy the way TNA did i think it will be just as great. Like a big part as to why the gimmick worked was everything they did at the Hardy compound and i can't see WWE letting Hardy film a ton of backstage videos like that. Also hope they let him use the same theme song since Reby played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Kazu Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Yeah, WWE has to control everything so I doubt he'll get as much reign as he did in TNA. About backstage videos I see him recording some and putting him on youtube instead of them being on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muur Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Fans have been chanting it even without the gimmick, so until WWE run it into the ground within three weeks it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
