** And "And fuck that owl."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The new management that arrived at TNA in 2017 (which would eventually rebrand the company into Impact Wrestling) didn't endear itself to Matt by asking him to virtually sign them the entire ownership of everything related to the Broken Universe, which would result in Matt and co. leaving the company. Matt's wife Reby Sky would sum up the situation in the aforementioned quote in a social media message (in reference to the new management in question, Anthem, using an owl as their corporate logo).[[/labelnote]]

1. Not a YMMV and 2. Bit of a stretch for the comparison.

Broken Matt is pretty much the wrestling equivalent of Gundham Tanaka.

* CrazyAwesome: Broken Matt Hardy is probably the most accurate and literal example in pro-wrestling history. How else do you explain Matt and Jeff wrestling with a kangaroo that has the ghost of Joe Frazier, Matt speaking like [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Captain Jack Sparrow]] on way too many drugs, putting his two-year old son Maxel in a wrestling match which he won, or his father-in-law slash gardener Senor Benjamin being his own personal Q and HyperCompetentSidekick?

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The use of the "Broken" gimmick in Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling was overall poorly received outside of a few standout moments for a few reasons, including it not being as unique in a promotion that generally lets wrestlers carry their own gimmicks, the pandemic meaning an absence of crowds to carry "Broken" Matt Hardy's existing popularity, and an infamously botch-filled feud with Sammy Guevara that both wrestlers came out of looking worse. After this, Hardy switched to his "Big Money Matt" gimmick and took more of a manager role as head of the Wrestling/HardyFamilyOffice, which was better received as a much better fit for AEW's roster, and for being the kind of gimmick that doesn't need big crowd reactions to get over.
