Yesterday before the start of Smackdown, Matt Hardy released a video on his YouTube channel. The video consists of him and Jeff dipping the TNA tag team titles into the “Lake of Reincarnation”. The team used the old TNA tag team belts which they are still in possession of.
Hardy Family vs. Anthem
Anthem Sports and Entertainment have been attempting to prevent the Hardys from using the #Broken universe in other promotions. The company has placed “TM” (trademarked) next to all videos featuring the Broken storyline on their YouTube page. They have also sent cease and desist letters to ROH and cable companies broadcasting their PPVs.
The Hardy family, most notably Reby, feel they went above and beyond the call of duty for TNA, only for the company to attempt to harm them on their way out. In the notes of the video Matt posted yesterday, he includes the following comments:
“After exerting everything within our VESSELS to make TNA trendy and cool again, we were betrayed by the OBSOLETE OWL. Since we carried the TNA Tag Titles to a CELESTIAL plane, as well as becoming greater than our host, the #7Deities mandated that I REINCARNATE these OBSOLETE Titles.. These titles have now been transformed into something worthy of The Greatest Tag Team in Space and Time.
This video was shot, edited and scored by the BRILLIANT Queen Rebecca Hardy, who also shot/edited/scored several similar vignettes for TNA without ever being paid, credited, or signing over the rights for TNA to use them. Rebecca, like Jeff and I, did many things for this brand because we’re upstanding beings. #HouseHardy will now continue to soar to new heights while the OWL fades away and classifies itself as OBSOLETE.”
