For me, they're coasting at "acceptably entertaining" for now, but they haven't even touched the stuff that makes the Broken universe awesome. Hopefully they'll actually get there. I do share the worries that they'll wind up hitting one note way too hard, as at this point they've done that with half of the roster in one way or another.

So far they're ruining it. They don't truly get the gimmick and the presentation is too wwe-centric. They're beating the laughing thing into the ground, even adding the laughing and voice overs into his theme. They're making the woken thing into a one trick pony. Matt hasn't even begun to scratch the surface of the gimmick in the wwe and it's already lame.

As someone who never thought WWE would even use it if Matt got the rights, I must say for all the negative WWE has done, their nailing making Matt a total loon and its been a hoot to see.

I refuse to believe WWE can ruin a concept that got over in a different company.

It's still Matt Hardy at the end of the day.

WWE half-asses everything, so it’s no surprise that they’re half-assing this by reducing it to a goofy laugh. I doubt that we ever see the Hardy compound.

The other aspect is seeing Jeff get involved whenever he's back

I don't watch TNA, so I can only judge Broken Matt by his WWE persona.
And it's the lamest shit ever. Dude makes Bray Wyatt look cool in comparison.

They've basically turned it into a catchphrase gimmick without any of the wacky shenanigans. All he does is laugh and say delete without doing any weird shit in his house.
Also the music is cool but I HATE the trend of needing a spoken word catchphrase at the start of music. I assume Rock's theme was the first one to do it? Like Miz's theme would be cool if went "Quiet on the set...I Came to play!" instead it goes "Quiet on the set....THEN says AWESOME...THEN starts the song.
Matt's theme has him laughing....THEN says he's woken...THEN has a piano intro....THEN starts the actual f***ing song. If they were making a theme song for Austin now it would probably start with OH HELL YEAH....THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE COS STONE COLD SAID SO.....AUSTIN 3:16 says I just whipped your ASS.... and he'd already be up on the turnbuckle for the 3rd time before the glass even broke.

That reminds me of my favorite shitty catchphrase theme. Undertaker's long long footsteps Dead Man Walking theme. Only because it ruined video game victory cutscenes. Undertaker wins! *Clip. clop. clip. clop. clip. clop.* |

The vignettes made it great in TNA. Him starting as a heel there also did wonders. He’s now a “crazy” babyface doing schtick with Bray Wyatt. He needs the drones, compound, family & senor benjamin to make the whole thing work.

Or has he always been this lame? Admittedly, I stopped watching TNA long before this gimmick began, so all I really know is that he had a drone and a gardener, and he said things like "Delightful!", "Delete!", and "A Delapitated boat!" Now, though? All he does is talk with an accent and laugh obnoxiously for minutes at a time. Surely there's supposed to be more to him than this? I feel they are starting to Flanderize parts of the character. Plus TNA gave them bigger parts of the show, what can you really do when you get one segment on Raw? |

The problem in the WWE - in fact they have had with pretty much everybody in the last 5 years - is that most of the time it's mostly matches. They have 30 writers yet the person at the top has decided that writing for 3 hours is too much so they send the guys outthere and just wrestles.
And if people remember that the strenght of the Broken Universe in TNA was skits and promos. I even said it at the time that I didn't think these gimmicks translated well for matches cause when the bell rang, it was two broken old guys Matt and Jeff Hardy. And that is all the WWE does, matches, hence the problem. There is zero creativity in this company.
