Reby being so open with the Hardys side of this kerfuffle is the best part. Cuts out all the corporate speak.

Yeah, except now the end result is the Hardys cutting generic lifeless promos just like everyone else on the WWE roster.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Davey and Matt Sydel would have been so fun to watch on 205 live if they hadn't hosed everything up and burned bridges. Poor Eddie though, he kinda took all the flak from Davey Low-Ki'ing himself and is stuck in TNA.

I've met Matt and Reby backstage in a really casual setting tho, Matt is an absolute pleasure to be around but Reby was a little weird/hard to work with. I still hope she gets back control of the #Broken gimmick because that seems like it'd be really cool to see on Smackdown or something with all the pseudo broken stuff they've tried to do with Wyatt. I think Matt is just kinda happy doing the occasional DELETE and throwing in his broken speech style every now and then. Jeff is in his own world and just happy to be in front of an audience again?

Reby's a diva in the best and worst possible ways. Could be a big deal with WWE lets her and the Hardys keep doing the broken gimmick as they want to do. Hell, poach Jeremy Borash while they're at it.

Dave, on the board, says a lot of the TNA regulars are not going to India. This means they'll miss weeks of TV, and I believe the entire build to Slammiversary.

I get the feeling WWE would have taken Borash long ago if they really wanted him.

They pushed him strong but he didn't win the TNA belt. He was the last Ring Ka King champ, though.

yeah true, long as he's getting paid (which is a big assumption) he's probably in a fairly decent spot all things considered. I'm assuming also he lives in or near Orlando

It's a rather involved story, but Borash made a significant amount of money off of British Bootcamp.

quote:

The trademark application that Matt Hardy filed for “Broken Matt Hardy” in March has been given an initial refusal by the US Patent and Trademark Office. PWInsider reports that the registration application was denied because it “identifies only the name of a particular character/personal name” and doesn’t function in a way to “identify and distinguish applicant’s services from those of others and to indicate the source of applicant’s services.”

Essentially, what this means is that Hardy filed the trademark without naming any services (such as DVD sales, merchandise and the like) that it would be associated with. The application only listed “Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer.” Impact also filed a trademark request for “Broken Matt” on April 28th that is for “DVDs featuring wrestling performances, interviews with wrestlers, backstage happenings and behind-the-scenes information; wristbands; commemorative photographs; posters; trading cards; clothing, namely, shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, caps, visors and arm sleeves; entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler; entertainment services, namely, ongoing wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered live and recorded for the purpose of distribution through broadcast media; and toy action figures and accessories therefor.”

Hardy has six months from today’s refusal to respond before the application is abandoned.

I think Abyss has always been big even in his pre-Abyss days, but he accentuates girth more for the Joseph Park role, while with his Abyss gear it's made to more just make him look big.

It's one thing when it's Tito Ortiz coming out to no reaction, but you have to think that even the deadest crowd would have popped for that theme and his appearance if it happened on Raw (once they realized the siren wasn't for Cesaro).
