Poll: Is Final Deletion/Broken Matt Hardy brilliant or awful?

Personally I was legitimately very sports entertained by this match/segment/whatever.

Wrestling doesn't have to be super serious all the time.

 

[Shadowmancer]

I was underwhelmed

 

[M]

They're just ripping off Jojo's Bizarre Adventure at this point and it's great.

 

[Deoxyribonucleic A.C.I.D.]

My thoughts:

1) Wtf is this shit?

2) It started out corny, but became akwardly good.

3) It lacked emotion. Everything looked corny. Big flaw.

4) Why does Matt win every Hardy vs Hardy feud?

5) Why wasn't this match perfomed as a Falls Count Anywhere match, in a special devised arena, in front of a live crowd?

6) If you wanna pull a Hollywood, you need actors to sell the scenes. Jeff and Matt are great wrestlers and can sell you a match, but, as it was clearly seen here, they can't sell a scene. This felt underwhelming.

7) Since Matt and Jeff aren't good actors, this needed a narrator/commentator in order to sell it better.

Overall thoughts: Meeh. Very mediocre. It reaches the realm of BS, but not quite there.

EDIT: It felt like a shonen anime, only that those are better.

Matt sounds like a Jamaican kid with Downs who is pretending to be in Game of Thrones.

This whole thing is terrible. Even the "match" was crappy. Only redeeming quality was when Matt was running from the fireworks & exclaimed "A dilapidated boat!". I laughed hard.

Other than that, it was bad. And not in a good way.

 

[King Patrick Star]

I voted both. It’s brilliantly awful, and awfully brilliant at the same time.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

I enjoy campy and gimmicky as much as anyone. I thought the 16 man elimination match on Raw this week was fun so I gave this match a chance. It was fun but I can completely understand others frustration. The editing was brutal. It was almost like a highlight package for a match no one has ever seen before. It also was ten minutes of complete unrealistic bullshit. Like Kevin Owens pop up power bombing Mark Henry level bullshit just for ten straight minutes. How many backwoods yokles are going to blow them selves up after watching that match. What was that shit with the guy with the taser turning out to be the guy that he tased? When did Jeff Hardy get magic powers? Did that Swanton even connect on the ladder? Why isn't Jeff Hardy in traction after that?

But it was fun. I really liked the music. They also got me to watch TNA for about a half hour. All the talking before that was definitely brutal.

- TNA stepped away from their norm. I'll give them credit for taking a risk.

- The idea was nice enough for a one off spot. While I could find enjoyment in the match it is not something I want to see repeated anytime soon.

- WWE should steal the no commentators concept. It was nice not having to listen to Mathews.

- Hands down best part was Matt's reaction when Jeff retaliated with a fireworks arsenal of his own. His face when he yelled "Oh Shit" was priceless.

This was basically a backyard wrestling themed sequel to Sweeney Todd, filmed by two people who have lost their damn minds.

 

[Rayne]

Y'know, I heard people talking about this, for whatever reasons they may have, and had to go hunt for it online to watch it myself. When was the last time TNA did anything like that? (Not counting the Shelly Martinez suicide dive.)

So, props to TNA. Brilliant move here. This ain't an art form, it's about getting eyeballs on product.

 

[Khalifa]

Do the Hardys own a % of TNA because I couldn't imagine anyone but the Hardys saying yeah this is happening. In saying that I rather enjoyed it for a changeup. It's ridiculous and I dont want to see it again but I'm not gonna lie and say I haven't been finding myself enjoy it more than I hate it. I suppose because it's so ridiculous but it's still a better alternative to any other normal Hardys feud.

 

[Navi]

I voted "Brilliant" but would rather there have been an "Weird and Unique" option added.

Watched it this morning on Youtube and it is definitely outside the normal. Why do I think the Wyatt's New Day is going along the same lines. Anyway, both couldn't act their way out of a wet paper bag but it sort of worked here.

Also got the feeling of a bad Ed Wood movie, but I loved Plan X from Outer Space so not sure if that's an insult or not. Props to them for thinking outside the box though, and thank God this feud is over.

 

[Барбоса]

It was like what people who hate wrestling think wrestling is based on the Attitude era

 

[Poop Master Flex]

This match made me want to watch TNA even less than I already did. For that it gets an awful.

 

[Rayne]

Try not to overthink this, people. It's a television program. Did you watch it? If you didn't watch it, are you talking about it? TNA wins.

TNA needs to do whatever they can right now to get attention for themselves, and they sure haven't done it by being a lower-budget imitation of the WWE. Why not have two established names shoot fireworks at each other? Do they have something to lose here? If the powers in charge of TNA thought they'd get higher ratings by having two guys jerk each other off for two hours on Tuesday nights, people here would be arguing over whether they should be using an oil or water based lube.

So by the metric of getting people to talk about TNA, this is the best thing they've done in years.

 

[Poop Master Flex]

If the talk doesn't equate to people watching past the Matt vs. Jeff match then in no way can this be considered a success. If TNA's ratings go up next week then I rescind my statement but they won't so I won't have to.

So is TNA the one who puts out the reports that they're on the verge of losing everything every year? Because that certainly gets people talking.

 

[Spidey Revivey]

I kinda liked it. Very Adult Swim-like.

 

[Wally Dangerously]

This was great.

 

[BaconBits]

This poll needs more options. It wasn't brilliant, and it wasn't awful. It was entertaining to me, but it's not worthy of hyperbole.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

I think it qualifies as both brilliant and awful. A masterpiece of the purest shit I've ever seen in a wrestling product.

 

[OYDK]

Ok, I found that fucking awesome.

Perhaps it doesn't belong on a wrestling program but it was the most entertaining and unique thing I've seen on TNA like, ever.

So kudos to them.

 

[Rayne]

They honestly could have used that to promote their product, if there were better brains writing the programming. Think back to ECW's antagonizing TNN. (And before anyone says it, ECW's collapse has about nothing in common with TNA's ups and downs, besides the ironic coincidence of Spike being a long-downstream child of TNN). ECW collapsed due to talent raids and fiscal mismanagement, but their peak of interest was when they were putting on good shows, right at the end of their TNN run.

That of course, is if there were better brains running the booking, but this is at least getting people talking. If anyone carries over from this, great; but it's not something that's going to drive anyone away who's already watching. In that sense, brilliant.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

The cut scene before the match and the fire works were awful in an awesome way. It's horrible and surely won't bring TNA out of the shallow grave they're in but it was entertaining in a one off never again way.

 

[rbv13]

For those saying this is the worst "match" they've ever witnessed please go watch the GWF Bungee Cord match or if desperate just toss a dart at WCW '95.
