5 Best Broken Matt Hardy Moments in TNA Impact Wrestling
By Dj Beal
5. The Beginning
One of the biggest keys to an amazing result in wrestling is the build. The creation of Broken Matt Hardy began in more humble roots to his popularity. He was hitting his stride as a baby face that finally achieved his dream. This was after being ridiculed over his entire career because he wasn’t as athletic or flashy as Jeff Hardy. Matt finally fulfilled his destiny as the World Champion at Bound for Glory in his hometown of Cameron, North Carolina. His family filled the ring and it was truly a deserving moment.
Ethan Carter III filed an injunction in his power struggle to get the championship back. This set up the World Title Series, an exclusive tournament to crown a new champion, which led to these two meeting in the finals once again. The path couldn’t be any more different for both superstars but EC3 regains the World Championship. Matt Hardy would request one more match and beat EC3 in one of the best heel turns in recent history.
After becoming iconic, Matt Hardy would be questioned by his brother Jeff. The two would battle in a series of matches but their Last Man Standing Match would end in epic fashion. Jeff Hardy would hit a Swanton Bomb on his brother Matt from the rafters and this would render him broken. Throughout the next few weeks, Hardy’s accent would change and he would talk unconventionally but Jeff Hardy’s involvement with the Broken Brilliance would the be last family member.
