Overly Critical Man Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Wait, what happened to the EC3/Matt Hardy match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 That was on a "One Night Only", I think. TNA, who tapes so much in one week that they can live half a year off of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Coaster Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 They announced to the live crowd that they'd be taping the EC3/Hardy Last Man Standing match tonight (Friday). For some reason they taped a match between the two of them for the One Night Only:Rivals ppv instead this night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Coaster Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 They just taped the Last Man Standing match. Matt wins the title with the help of Tyrus in a double turn. I should add: I think they were going for the double turn. Hardy definitely went heel with a post match promo. I'm assuming EC3 turns by default. He tried to get a face reaction as he left the ring.

mattdangerously Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Fucking hell, that's awful. Why waste EC3's first loss on Matt Hardy and fucking Brodus Clay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Wow. Just... wow. The one thing they had was EC3's megapush as a heel and they just threw it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 So, let me get this straight... they had EC3 get this mega undefeated push, and he carries his end up. They base everything around him, then take the title off him without him losing. Then they run an angle where EC3 gets a court order to keep Hardy off TV, so he surrenders the belt. Then because they don't know if they have TV after the New Year, they take this massive amount of matches and cut it together into a tournament, then have EC3 win the tourny. Then they put the belt *RIGHT* back on Hardy, with a double turn, which makes no sense in any context, ending EC3's streak in the name of World Champion Matt Hardy, who seems to be past it and really shouldn't be World Champ... And this promotion wonders why no one takes it seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Who's in charge of creative these days? Is it Corgan or Big? Whichever, this is stupid. Having said that, heel Matt Hardy >>>>>>>>> face Matt Hardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Who the wha? Storyline, irrc. One of the McMahons (Steph?) claimed that Bryan cheated on Brie with a personal trainer. Didn't go anywhere and was quickly forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Heel Matt Hardy is pretty good. Too bad they are going with a Hardy vs Hardy feud which will be terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeball Wizard Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I really don't understand why companies keep putting those two against each other, have they ever had a good match together? And if they haven't, does anyone really think they're going to start now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overly Critical Man Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I thought their Wrestlemania match was pretty good. Or maybe just the ending was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I had a feeling that Reby was going to be the person mostly responsible for this heel turn. I was worried that she was going to do this entire stuff with the baby in her hand which would have made the angle go from dumb to disgusting pretty quick So now he is called Big Time Matt which is apparently about his wealth and not his waistline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Matt has wealth? He might want to wait until the checks clear before making such bold statements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
