Last year everyone was talking about Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero, which was great for Impact Wrestling, because at the time the two characters were part of their brand. Matt and Jeff Hardy worked hard to get people talking about TNA, and they even spent their own money to produce entertaining programs such as The Final Deletion and Total Nonstop Deletion.

It seemed that The Hardys did nothing but good things for Impact Wrestling, but now the company is trying to claim ownership of the Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero characters, and they recently filed to trademark several terms related to the Broken Universe.
The battle over the rights to the gimmick is ongoing, and fans are patiently waiting for the day when Broken Matt Hardy finally arrives in WWE. Matt has been teasing that he will make the transition eventually, but it’s tough watching him do Broken Matt Hardy mannerisms on Raw knowing that he can’t go all the way with it.
A fan recently tweeted at Impact Wrestling to say that the only ones losing in the war over the gimmick are the fans who resent Impact for not allowing the brothers to use the gimmick.
Matt Hardy decided to join the conversation by saying that their actions show that Impact Wrestling doesn’t care about the fans.
Shows they DO NOT care about the fans. @EdNordholm wants to keep MY creation, the #BROKEN Universe, hostage from fans who wish to see it. https://t.co/AREDlSQ9Qn

The fan certainly isn’t wrong about how Impact Wrestling’s actions have made people resent the company, as tweets such as the one below are becoming far too common these days.
#ImpactWrestling trying to take credit for #BROKEN Matt Hardy is like Burger King trying to take credit for The Big Mac. #BoycottTNA
