This makes me picture Dixie living in the Offices, packing up all her clothes and stuff and heading to a van. Down by the river. i just picture her climbing out of a dumpster with one of those hobo stick backpack thing. Dean Ambrose: "Hey, I told you before, get your own dumpster!!" Eric Young: "This one's also taken!"

If you guys really think WWE will do the Broken Hardy gimmick.......you obviously didn't remember what they did with the Dudley Boys We remember, but Broken Matt Hardy is more valuable than Bully Ray and "just sorta there" Devon. Not to mention, odds are pretty good that Bubba didn't particularly fight to go solo, whereas Matt has a history of actually trying to stick to his guns with WWE or have them at least meet him halfway, like when he came back during the whole Lita fiasco and got to keep his website when they wanted him to axe it, since most of the talent at the time were not allowed personal websites. It's also the kind of thing Full Sail would eat up with a spoon.

With the way that NXT is in need of talent right now, I can easily see Galloway getting signed again. I figure they'd stick Galloway on SmackDown. It has its own need for new blood and he's someone who already knows the WWE style well and is able to play both a face and a heel to good effect, so he'd be a quality addition to it.

I don't really get why WWE hasn't signed Galloway. They are gathering up every UK talent they can find, but not the free agent that at least has some main event size and decent enough talent? But then I'm still waiting for them to also sign Magnus as well. This entire TNA buyout by Anthem has been so quizzical. It's sort of like what happens when someone buys a company and makes basically no changes to the actual onscreen product. At least not yet. I do think the Hardys doing this wacky stuff is at odds with the more traditional minded regime coming in (Jarrett, Mantel). The issue with them doing this Broken stuff in WWE however is that it has zero context for those who haven't watched TNA. There has been no drastic changes cause of the simple fact that Anthem bought TNA cause they just wanted TNA to keep going so that continue to have the shows appear on the Fight Network. This and the tape library. Being from Canada, since September, on the Fight Network, there has been so many flashback shows. I'm not complaining cause there's a lot of stuff available but that has been Anthem's main focus. Also JJ and Mantel are just coming in so they are not going to change everything overnight. It's really after the countless back-to-back tappings that we are gonna see what they want to do with the product and if they want to change it. Personally I just want to know of Anthem has given JJ the greenlight to hire several new talent. Cause this has been TNA's problem of having the same guys over and over. And if they can offer good deals for good talents either in the indy scene or even WWE guys. The most important signing has to be Galloway.

If they see money in something, there are exceptions to these rules.

Drew Galloway, Impact Grand Champion, is working without a contract? That doesn't seem like a great idea. Is there any idea in TNA that's not a great idea? Anyways, my takeaway is, until Gaburak, Dixie, and Ryder are out of the company completely, there's nothing changing here. The cancer's still there, just in remission. And I really hope that they do try to merge GWF's uselessness with TNA's incompetence and try to actually make a Raw/SD Live brand, even though they're stretched as thin as it can get.

I'm predicting GFW becomes TNA's developmental. So basically Jarrett would be asking Anthem to fund them so Jarrett can put on there own shows? Jarrett hasn't had a stand alone show for GFW in I don't know how long. I like the fact that they are talking about airing the GFW tappings for Vegas that is 2 1/2 years old and half the talent are in the WWE now.

Replace one cancer with another. Rid themselves of Ditzy, Gabrick, and Ryder, only to bring back the cancer of Jarrett and Mantel. They just need to add Russo to complete the "classic" trio who sent TNA into a steady downward spiral.

Broken Matt Hardy works in TNA because most of the time, they got free range to do whatever the hell that popped in the Hardys' heads. And because the cheap budget in combination with the surrealism make a Sharknado. Putting that in a very polished WWE will kill the geek charm that it has. Plus not all fans will understand the gimmick and be wondering why the Hardys acting more batshit insane than usual. Also the gimmick falls apart when it has to done live without pre-tapes. It's like a ECW gimmick in terms of it is amazing in front of the small arena crowd but falls apart in the big leagues without getting overhaul for the mainstream crowd. I'm predicting GFW becomes TNA's developmental. How can you be a developmental territory when you're the wrestling equivalent of vaporware? GFW is the Duke Nukem Forever of pro wrestling. And like that game; by the time it is released, no one will care and it will be highly flawed.

AJ Styles and the Club.Not TNA but outside creation. Yeah, the Club may be referenced and used at one point, but WWE seems to be okay with New Japan. They will not be okay with a TNA gimmick, even if it does span other federations as well because it would require too much of Matt Hardy's input and WWE doesn't want anyone but their own writers (except for part-timers who make crap ton of money). No, WWE will go back to the old Hardy Boys and treat them just like they treated the Dudley Boys.

That felt like a re-introduction video with them showing the moment that a lot of people changed their minds about Drew because he went Berserker mode.
