I'm watching a replay of only the tag team "match" Trevor Lee is getting fat, poor guy TNA is already getting to him. Well, that won't bother him again, because he's dead now.

I either really hated that or just f***ing loved it.
I'm honestly not sure which.

Broken Matt taking a shot at HHH for burying people with the thumbs up and smile afterwards had me legit laughing out loud for a good minute or so. That needs to be a gif.

Hand on heart, it did zero for me. Really a total miss.
Okay, apart from Road Warrior Animal shouting up at Ricky Morton on a cherrypicker. That part I like.

I said already about this but something about this just fell short of the previous 2 and idk how to really explain why but just something about this one just comes off as less memorable than the other ones. It might be that first half that really exposed the limitations of this IMO where it really hit home that trying to fit the broken matt gimmick and all its parts into a traditional wrestling show just does not work at all. I agree. It was great in some parts but it was lacking in others. I think the previous ones were better because things we really didn't know what was going to happen; Roman candle wars, Vangaurd-1 interactions we now expect. It also got really confusing with the different tag teams getting involved. Also it can't be said how much Josh suck announcing and shilling ruined it. Dude truly sucks like no other.

I thought it was awful. The War was a step down from the Final Deletion, but good lord this felt like a fall off a cliff. This was built on the idea that the Hardys had to beat the best teams in the world, and they got... nobody. And it made me realize that there are only 2 actual teams in TNA, plus the sometime pairing of Everett and Lee.
It felt dire to me. The 3 Count bit was the only thing I actually liked, and even then I felt like Trevor Lee could be doing much better things.

In my headcanon, the truck driver is the guy who stops Sting in the opening cutscene of WCW/NWO Revenge.

I don't get it...I couldn't even get through the entire thing.
I know there's a audience for it but it's not me.

I kind of wish there was a bit more...I don't know, star power. Like, as cool a cameo as the Bravado Brothers were, the promise of the Briscoes and Young Bucks, whether through rumours or Hardy teasing, kind of made it feel a bit flat. It probably wasn't going to happen but if you're building a match around the best teams, you need to find better teams that could cameo.
I mean, come on, not even Shark Boy and D-Ray 3000? The Naturals? Dive further into TNA's history to make it feel more massive.
Overall, it was alright. I never really was on board with any of the Deletion stuff but this was the one I least got annoyed at so that's well done there.
Having said that, Lashley/Edwards brawling throughout was pretty damn funny.

I got a kick out of a lot of the earlier Hardy stuff but have said for a while that there's a point where it'll run its course and for me that was last night; the entire thing was a huge letdown, and to the degree where I honestly kind of wished I'd not bothered watching it. What always made the Hardy stuff so engaging was the escalation and the inventive craziness of one thing and another being added to the mess. But this time it wasn't really anything new, it was just them hitting all the notes they hit previously without bringing in anything new and exciting.
I guess the best way to describe it for me is like an unintended movie sequel; nobody planned this far ahead but it made money so they're going to do it, but the spark that used to be there is gone and in its place we just kind of have the same general idea with a lot of the same joke setups. Just a retread for the sake of a retread.

To each his own. In regards to this I don't try to "get it" I just enjoy. It's brain melting fun.
"Matt Hardy you broken son of a bitch let me down" had me rolling

I do think this got a bit screwed by Dixie vs. Billy as that pushed by the taping dates a few times. We lost out on Smokin' Joe vs Grado because of that and I have to wonder how many teams they originally had booked ended up having to cancel because of other commitments.

The HHH "diss" was probably my favorite part. Like, it was such a softball but I still laughed hard at it.

Apparently, Billy had actually worked out some deal for the Bucks of Youth to actually appear.

I dunno, it's kind of perfect that something as stupid and hammy as this was built on them facing and beating top guys and it ends up with them beating a bunch of (no disrespect) nobodies and old guys.

The main question I have is... Exactly how much of Animal's time is devoted to wandering the woods with his face paint on looking to mock people stuck in cherry pickers?

I didn't agree with Batista before, about Hardy jumping the shark, but after that show - Hardy has jumped the shark.
2 hours of Hardy shenanigans is too much. If they want to do this again, best to splice it into the show here and there, not just have a full episode surrounding it. I became tired of it after 40 minutes in. They've run the gimmick into the ground.
