TNA has posted a video of World Champion Matt Hardy reading mean tweets about himself, a takeoff on the popular segment Jimmy Kimmel does on his late night ABC show.

– A fan asked Matt Hardy and Twitter when he and Jeff are going to jump to WWE and feud with WWE tag team champions The New Day. Hardy asked if New Day are those guys who wear the “strap ons” on their heads, a reference to their unicorn horns. Big E saw the tweet and responded with the following, opting to take the high road:

To each his own. Twitter wrestling beef between people who work for different companies is childish. Be well. https://t.co/8Qz6TyBz4H

– 2K Games has published a patch for the “Future Stars DLC Pack” which was previously corrupting players’ WWE Universe saved games.

– The following matches are scheduled for tonight’s episode of NXT on the WWE Network:

• NXT champion Finn Balor vs. Apollo Crews (non-title)
• The Vaudevillains vs. The Hype Bros

TNA world heavyweight champion Matt Hardy recently responded to a fan who tweeted that Triple H is closer to his prime at the age of 46 than Hardy is now at 41. Hardy came back by saying Triple H is an “OK” wrestler, and took the opportunity to take a shot at NXT as well. He criticized NXT for being on an “internet network” and not “real TV.”

Here’s what he said on Twitter:

You must have missed my 5 star match last Tuesday, internet nobody. I'm currently pro wrestling's #1 talent. https://t.co/nevxSS70Gh

Hardy then took a shot at NXT, which currently airs exclusively on the WWE Network:

Matt Hardy defeated Ethan Carter III in a Last Man Standing match on Tuesday night’s episode of Impact Wrestling to capture the TNA World Heavyweight title. Hardy had vowed to leave TNA if he did not walk out as champion.

Matt gained a championship, but sold out his integrity to get it. EC3’s bodyguard Tyrus betrayed his employer and sided with Hardy. Matt’s wife Reby handed him a hammer during the match, which he used to knock out EC3 en route to victory. It was the first clean loss by EC3 since joining TNA. After the win, Hardy cut a promo in the ring declaring this the new era of “Big Money Matt.”

Big Money Matt went on Twitter after the win and delivered “10 FYIs for internet nobodies” including:

1) I am the ONLY World Champion that matters in the professional wrestling industry. All other recognized champions are inferior to me.

— MATT HARDY (@MATTHARDYBRAND) January 20, 2016

2) Fans don't care that I killed myself for this biz. I came back from the dead in 2011 to become wrestling's #1 talent.

GO TO HELL, MARKS.

— MATT HARDY (@MATTHARDYBRAND) January 20, 2016

3) I loathe you. My wife, @RebySky, somehow hates you all even more. You're all selfish, disrespectful & ungrateful hypocrites full of shit.

A new TNA Champion was crowned at Friday night’s Impact Wrestling tapings from Bethlehem, PA in a match that featured an unexpected double turn.

Matt Hardy defeated Ethan Carter III to become the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion, turning heel and aligning himself with Tyrus. EC3 turned babyface after suffering the first clean loss of his TNA career.

The Hardy-EC3 match featuring the double turn angle and title change, which TNA has been hyping this week as a “Career vs. Title” match, is expected to air on the Tuesday, January 26th episode of Impact Wrestling on POP TV.

TNA star Matt Hardy recently spoke with Jim Varsallone of The Miami Herald to promote Impact Wrestling’s premiere on Pop TV this week. Here are the highlights of what he said about:

TNA’s Move To Pop TV:

“[The deal] means a lot to me because TNA is going to continue to have a home in America,” Hardy said. “We would have been OK, in theory, if we would have just had our overseas programming, but if you’re an American brand, you need to have American television.

“So it was a big deal, and it’s important, and I really think the Pop TV people understand and have a good grasp of what it takes to make professional wrestling successful on their network — much better than the Destination America people did.

“So it was a big deal, and it’s important, and I really think the Pop TV people understand and have a good grasp of what it takes to make professional wrestling successful on their network — much better than the Destination America people did.

“I think Destination America just thought, ‘Wrestling is a very popular sport/entertainment type industry. We can put it on our network, and viewers are going to flock over and watch the program, and it’s gonna make money.’

TNA Needing Fresh, Original Ideas:

“One of the most important things Impact Wrestling needs to do to evolve — or for that matter any wrestling promotion — is you have to take into consideration not just the casual fans but also the smart fans. There’s so much information accessible to everyone now because the Internet is so powerful; social media is so powerful. You have to play off both of those. You have to cater to two different fan bases.”

“You need original ideas. You don’t need rehashed ideas. You don’t need to do the same thing in a different capacity over and over again, because wrestling needs something fresh, something original, something different. Me, personally, that’s the direction I want to take. I’m certainly going to do my damnedest to get some new original content and cross over some unchartered waters that’s never been touched before.”

https://youtu.be/Lxt29S5pe2k

It looks like TNA has changed their original plans regarding the conclusion of their multi-week TNA World Title Series tournament.

TNA announced that the semifinals and finals of the tournament will be airing live (which may be on a few hour tape delay) when the promotion debuts on POP TV on January 5th.

The semifinals remain Bobby Lashley vs. Ethan Carter III and Matt Hardy vs. Eric Young. In the original tournament, Lashley beat EC3 via count out and Hardy beat Young, with Lashley beating Hardy in the finals.

Whatever the new direction is remains to be seen, however the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that their original plans for the conclusion of the tournament have been changed.

We’ve all seen Jeff Jarrett successfully execute his patented guitar shot to the heads of his opponents many times. This is what it looks like when it’s not successful. On Sunday we showed you what Matt Hardy’s head looked like in the aftermath of this, and now you can watch the actual incident take place in the video above.

As previously reported, Matt Hardy took a nasty hit with the edge of a guitar in a match with Jeff Jarrett at WrestleCade IV in Winston-Salem, NC. The guitar didn’t break on impact as usual because it was off-center. Instead, Hardy took the corner of the guitar right to the top of his head.

As a result, Hardy was hospitalized and received 38 stitches. He won’t miss any time from the ring.

TNA employees remain very optimistic that the company will land a new cable TV deal in the United States in 2016. They also hold out hope that next year will be a new launching point for a better overall position in the TNA company.

– Shane Helms continues to be praised for his recent work as an agent in TNA. Helms was responsible for the Bound For Glory main event with Matt Hardy vs. Drew Galloway vs. Ethan Carter III for the TNA World Heavyweight title. Additionally, Tommy Dreamer has been getting more agent work in TNA, as he most recently served as the agent for the “Bound For Gold” match at this year’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view.

After capturing the TNA World Heavyweight championship on Sunday night at Bound For Glory, Matt Hardy has announced he is vacating the title.

Ethan Carter III announced on Monday that he has filed an injunction against TNA as a result of how Hardy won the title. The injunction would prevent Hardy from appearing on TNA television with the belt and Matt decided the TNA audience deserves a champion who can be present on Impact Wrestling.

TNA will be issuing a statement on Wednesday about the future of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

• CM Punk INJURED While Training For UFC Debut — How Long Will He Be Out?!

Ethan Carter III released the following official statement on social media regarding the “injunction” storyline with new TNA World Heavyweight Champion Matt Hardy.

My Official Statement Regarding ?#?BoundForGlory? and the ?#?injunction? against Matt Hardy as TNA Heavyweight Champion.

Hello,
My name is Ethan Carter the Third (the third of my name,) the only undefeated World Champion in TNA History and, as preposterous as this is to say, the only undefeated former World Champion in Wrestling History.

For the two years I’ve been in TNA I have thrived and succeeded. Like many, I started at the very bottom, I had to earn my successes. Fortunately I was blessed with determination, resolution, a formidable skill set, and most importantly, unwavering fan support. Through these gifts, the world watched on 7/01/15 EC3 (me) defeat the greatest champion of our time, Kurt Angle, and culminate a life’s work by becoming THE World Champion.

One does not take that honor lightly. As my reign as champion began, I made a promise wrestling fans across the globe that the sanctity of that title would be upheld. The World Title would be contested with one thing in mind.

FAIR COMPETITION.

Well FAIR COMPETITION is not what transpired on 10/04/15 in Charlotte, NC.

Collusion is defined as “secret cooperation for an illegal purpose” and in the court of public opinion, allow me to present you with the facts.

-The owner of the company, with her own interests in mind, change the originally scheduled EC3 v. Galloway World Title Match, to a triple threat AFTER the contracts were signed.

-The owner of the company changed the official of the contest without giving the champion more than one week’s notification.

-The official is not only a disgruntled former employee of the champion but also the FREAKING BROTHER OF THE CHALLENGER.

-The official was directly involved in the match’s conclusion by assaulting the champion.

Those are simply the facts.

These facts, this evidence of collusion, was enough that my legal team saw and was granted an injunction via the seventh circuit court that prevents Matt Hardy from appearing on Impact Wrestling as TNA World Champion.

Matt Hardy has two options now. Relinquish the title back to my possession, striking your win from the record books, and I will see it fit you have a one-on-one match in a fair setting, or, never appearing on TNA Television again.

I am the champion this company needs, and even through this tumultuous time I still feel deserves.

Justice will be served.

Thank you,
Ethan Carter III

Matt Hardy became the new TNA World Heavyweight champion at Sunday night’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view.

Jeff Hardy served as the guest referee and was directly involved in the match finish. Ethan Carter III started arguing with Jeff for not counting his pinfalls on Galloway and  Matt. EC3 low blowed Galloway and dared Jeff to disqualify him, but it was a no DQ match. EC3 brought a chair in the ring and was about to use it on Matt, but Jeff grabbed the chair and hit Carter with it.

Jeff then hit EC3 with the twist of fate. Matt Hardy hit a twist of fate of his own and Jeff counted the pin to make Matt the new TNA Champion.

Afterwards, Matt celebrated with his wife, son, father and Jeff.

NXT Champion Finn Balor made waves on social media on Friday when he tweeted a photo of himself at TNA Headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee.

TNA star Matt Hardy has since responded, noting that Balor was at TNA HQ in hopes of participating in the X-Division match at tonight’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view.

Matt Hardy recently took part in a A.M.A. session with the r/SquaredCircle community on Reddit to promote his new shoot interview, available at TheWrestlingBundle.com. Below are some of the highlights.

On the most painful spot he’s ever been involved in: “Probably when my abdomen ripped in half, allowing my intestines to thrust outside of it. Indescribable pain. There’s been too many painful moments throughout my career to truly rank them though.”

On the best thing about no longer working for WWE: “The absolute freedom that it allows me. I make my own schedule. I work when I want to, I take off when I want to. The WWE is the best-an incredible company-but if you’re there full-time, it really consumes your life.”

On if he prefers being in the same company as Jeff, or if he enjoys when he’s allowed to do your his thing: “I love working at the same place as my brother, it’s an added bonus. But yes, sometimes it’s nice to have separation between our wrestling characters, as it’s hard for Matt & Jeff Hardy to be in the same promotion & NOT team as the Hardy Boyz. I love performing as a singles and it helps me highlight what I feel like are strengths of mine that aren’t always on exhibit when Jeff & I team.”

On the most grueling ladder match he has ever been in: “My toughest Ladder Match was the one vs E & C that happened the first night WWE was on TNN. All 4 of us (Me, Jeff, Adam & Jay) were all terribly hurting & physically spent from the Cage Match the night before at Unforgiven. We weren’t supposed to wrestle AT ALL that night, yet ended up in a brutal, long Ladder Match that day. I remember none of us were overly happy with our performance that night–we just weren’t physically able to produce the kind of performance that we wanted to that evening.”

On the current status of TNA: “First off, I love working at TNA right now. The locker room & working environment is great & the freedom that TNA allows it’s wrestlers is unparalleled. What happens with TNA & Dest America in the future? I’m honestly not sure. I hope they continue to work together. If not, they’ll look elsewhere for domestic distribution. Internationally, TNA is doing phenomenal business. I’ll openly admit that TNA is in a rebuilding phase after the Hogan-Bischoff era. There may be bumps in the road, but TNA is not going out of business & will soon be starting another period of growth.”

On if he has ever accidentally wrestled with stuff in the pockets of his cargo wrestling pants: “HA! You are absolutely right, they are handy to wear backstage. Great observation! I always put my hair-tie in my right pocket of my pants before wrestling–that’s a strict ritual of mine. I was one time about to make a coffee & had my match bumped up to be earlier. After taking a superplex, there was packets of Sweet N Low in the ring that I’d never taken out to put in my coffee.”

• BROCK LESNAR Says Vince McMahon Is BETTER Than Dana White, Explains Why …

TNA Wrestling performer Matt Hardy recently spoke with Sean Ross Sapp of Wrestling Inc about a wide variety of topics. Below are some of the highlights of part one of their two-part interview.

On his match at tonight’s Impact Wrestling and being in such a high-profile position at this stage in his career: “It’s always an honor to be in a top position. When it comes down to it, I’m a kid who came from a small down in North Carolina and the dream was to become a professional wrestler. Obviously my brother and I have been very successful, but I still have a passion to be as good as I can be. I realize after 24 years that it’s hard to be as athletic as I used to be, but I feel like I have a lot of mileage in the tank. To go into this Full Metal Mayhem match tonight and challenge for the world title is very special. I guarantee people will walk away from this match in disbelief that Matt Hardy is still doing these things when he’ll be 41 in a month. That’s my goal coming out of this. I feel like no one can represent TNA better than I can right now.”

On both of The Hardy Boys wrestling at age 40 despite people thinking they wouldn’t due to their style in the ring: “I don’t know, man. I never try to predict the future. Even when we started with the WWE and were doing regular matches, the pace, the moves. We were doing splashes and Jeff was taking flat back bumps to the floor, and our finish was a legdrop/splash. The veterans who watched our matches said we wouldn’t be able to walk by the time we were 35. It was very scary. To still be a part of that right now and be able to do the things I do, I’ve had to totally change my thing. It’s a lifestyle, and you can tell the changes I’ve made in the last year. I really just try to work hard and stay passionate about things. I’m very lucky, I think.”

On still working crazy stipulation matches this late into his career: “Honestly, I didn’t expect it. I’m pleasantly surprised that I feel as good as I do. I try to be a statement for someone who is a regular person in this business and their longevity. I’m living proof that it can happen. I’ve been through struggles and survived. I was with the Young Bucks this weekend and we were talking about how intense Kevin Owens’ schedule was. For 12 years I was doing ten days on, four days off, then 5 days on, a day and a half off. There’s no way to describe the damage that puts on your body, especially if you wrestled a high impact style like I did. These TNA TVs are a little challenging sometimes because we have several days back-to-back. We did that recently. It was aggressive and tough for me. As soon as I was done, I’d get back to the room and sleep for an hour, then I’m up training, stretching, staying in survival mode. I really had to change my game. I have to make wrestling my lifestyle and what I build my schedule around.”

On his thoughts on TNA as a whole: “I encourage fans to check out TNA on Destination America not just tonight, but each week. We have a lot of really great programming and wrestling, and I think maybe some older fans who fell away from the brand would really enjoy it.”

Longtime WWE seamstress Julie Youngberg, who is the wife of Shannon Moore, has been involved in a spat with Reby Sky — the wife of Matt Hardy — on the internet recently. Youngberg had been hacked recently, and accused Hardy and Sky of being responsible.

She wrote the following on Facebook:

“So great news. The police came over the other day who are working on my case of the person/people who are hacking me, stalking me, making up horrible lies, slander, etc and are trying to break up the beautiful marriage Shannon and I have. Funny enough the cops traced the emails back to a town none other than Cameron NC!!! Hmmm…lol, Just a little more time before they crack the false name the acct was opened under but they are working on it. Let’s just say what comes around goes around and sorry assholes Shannon and I love each other way too much to let psychopaths like you with nothing better to do with your lives or time than to try and ruin ours. Your pathetic and sad excuses for human beings. If I were you right now I’d be extremely nervous for the outcome.”

The spat then got personal when Youngberg insinuated that Hardy’s newborn baby is not actually Matt’s.

Sky then called Youngberg out for her comments and accused her of having an extra-marital affair:

Finally, Youngberg posted the following message on Saturday night regarding her comments benig racist:

“For all u people who think I said something racist lol….what I said was “my hackers wife”….according to our police investigation of being harassed 4 the passed 6 years, those emails have been now discovered to have come from Caneron NC….so unless u are the hackers wife there’s no reason to have an issue.”

Dixie Carter came out and announced Jeff Jarrett as the newest inductee into the TNA Hall of Fame…

Josh Matthews and The Pope made their way to the announce table…

EC3 made his way out with the TNA title, accompanied by Tyrus. Next out was Bobby Lashley to massive cheers surprisingly…

2. Bobby Lashley beat Tyrus. Lots of “Funkasaurus” chants early on. EC3 joined the guys on commentary. Lashley performed an impressive electric chair drop on Tyrus, and then finished him off with the spear…

Pope and Josh headed to the back…

Austin Aries made his entrance. He made it clear he was not in a good mood. Little kids gave him the “What?!” treatment, ugh. He talked down Bully Ray, which prompted him to then make his entrance. They went back and forth, with Aries claiming that he deserves to be number one contender to the TNA title. When that was shot down, he brought up the Dirty Heels deserving a TNA tag title match then. Bully Ray responded by offering an X Division title match. Aries disagreed with that offer. Rockstar Spud then made his entrance to a great response. They bickered about Option C. Aries says that Spud has nothing to show for himself in TNA, then challenged Spud to a match to prove himself. Bully made the match official, with the stipulation that if Aries loses then he leaves Impact Wrestling. Aries agreed, but if he wins he wants the right to the “Rockstar” name because Spud doesn’t deserve it. Aries then nailed Spud with a cheap shot and headed to the back.

2. Eli Drake beat Drew Galloway. Galloway took the fight to Drake in the entrance isle. Drake rolled Galloway up and held the tights for the win. Drew chased him to the back after.

Ethan Carter III made his entrance again. He cut a promo bashing Jeff Hardy and his broken leg. He then mentioned Matt Hardy taking his brother’s place but not being championship material. Jeff Hardy made his entrance to a huge pop. The crowd chanted “Welcome Back”. Jeff ran down EC3 with insults and prompted the crowd to boo him. He introduced his brother Matt, who was out next to a similar reaction. The crowd chanted “Matt for Champ!” Matt discussed his brother and himself discussing stipulations for the title match. Matt jumped to ringside and started pulling out a table, a ladder, and then a chair. The crowd went crazy for the T.L.C. idea but also chanted that they wanted more. Jeff took a seat in one of the chairs and announced it would be a Full Metal Mayhem match, and Bully Ray agreed to no outside interference. They had a staredown to end the segment…

Bram made his entrance holding Mr. Anderson’s detached microphone. Mr. Anderson was out next and ran down to the ring to fight. Anderson scored the win with a small package. Bram followed him up the ramp and laid him out with the microphone.
