Matt Hardy Talks TNA Impact Wrestling, Total Nonstop Deletion, WWE

On Thursday, TNA star Broken Matt Hardy will be looking to change the wrestling industry when he teams with Impact Wrestling to produce two hours of chaos being dubbed Total Nonstop Deletion.

Pop TV has been the home of TNA for the last several months, and the highlight of Impact Wrestling week after week has been the stories involving Hardy and Brother Nero. This time, the whole show will be centered on the Hardy compound and the madness that occurs there.

In a recent interview promoting Total Nonstop Deletion, Hardy spoke to Ring Rust Radio about the issues facing TNA, the show's two-hour episode emanating from his home and the invitation he sent to WWE tag teams to appear.

Thus far in 2016, Hardy has helped revolutionize the way people watch and view wrestling, and implementing that style for the rest of the Impact Wrestling roster is an educated risk. While it could easily be overboard and bring the show down, the chance it could revitalize the brand is a chance the company must take.

When asked about the issues currently facing TNA, Hardy spoke candidly:

"

I just think that the whole issue with TNA is they are having some overall issues with management, but I think we have a new opportunity. I know a lot of people haven't met the Anthem people or the Fight Network people, but I think it is going to do wonders for the company.

I think in many, many ways they have a fresh slate as far as management for the company. On the talent side, it is greater than ever. The locker room is extremely talented, and I think they are extremely willing to go out there and become the success that they have the potential to be.

"

While the problems facing Impact Wrestling are clear, few people have worked hard enough to make it better. One of the people staking his reputation on the company is Hardy, and the Total Nonstop Deletion episode is a labor of love for him.

With the chance to lead the company in a new direction, Hardy has prepared one of the wildest and most unpredictable two-hour wrestling shows in the history of the industry. Hardcore and casual fans alike do not want to miss Thursday's episode. Hardy elaborated:

"

It is going to be the most magnificent event ever known to mankind. Anthem, who is the new majority shareholders for Impact Wrestling now, are looking into new things and new interesting and riveting concepts. I was selected to actually promote and book my own show. It's going to emanate from the Hardy compound.

The main event is going to be Apocalypto, a war tag team title match. This match is where myself and Brother Nero must prove that we are the greatest tag team of all space and time. We have invited every great tag team across space and time including champion teams from the Honorable Ring such as the Bucks of Youth and the Vince MeekMahon show [and] we have invited the Day of New.

We wanted all these tag teams to come and enjoy with us. We have had one legendary, iconic tag team—the Rock 'n Roll Express; they are going to partake in Apocalypto. We have many other surprises in store and even a TNA title of the world match. Many, many matches. King Maxwell is going to make his in-ring debut that night as well. It is very rewarding to be allowed to have my broken universe fill the two hours of Impact Wrestling.

"

You heard that right, folks! Broken Matt has invited teams from other companies to Total Nonstop Deletion, including WWE Raw tag team champions The New Day. When asked what it would take to get Vince McMahon to make that happen, Hardy responded in earnest:

"

I don't know. I have offered it to them, and I'm sure in the next week I'm going to be even more intense with the offer. Let's say they would send the Day of the New to Apocalypto and to appear on an Impact Wrestling show. This would be the most grandest, most magnificent Impact Wrestling show of all time. Then maybe Brother Nero and I would go to one of their shows like one of their Raw shows or SmackDown shows.

I am willing to do business and I'm willing to play ball with anyone for I am very open-minded. It is Vince MeekMahon that is very close-minded and afraid to do this, so I don't know. Maybe I have to go there personally and get in his face and delete him to change his mind.

"

Regardless of which tag teams show up for the special episode of Impact Wrestling, Thursday's Total Nonstop Deletion will be one of the most memorable events of 2016. Hardy has shown time and time again that he can produce gold, and now that he has the reins of the entire show, chaos will undoubtedly ensue.

The hope now is that TNA management will see the success from a content point of view and the likely success from a television-ratings perspective and decide to give Hardy more creative control of the product.

With Brother Nero by his side and his wife Reby along for the ride, the Hardy family is revolutionizing the business. On Thursday, Total Nonstop Deletion will change how wrestling fans view the sport forever.
