Sometimes life imitates art and sometimes – especially in professional wrestling – life itself becomes art. Over the past week, Impact Wrestling<\/strong> lost six of its biggest stars of the past year, including current Impact Grand Champion Drew Galloway<\/strong>, “The Miracle” Mike Bennett<\/strong> and Maria Kanellis<\/strong>, and perennial Knockouts Champion contender Jade<\/strong> (also known as Mia Yim<\/strong> in Shine, Shimmer<\/strong> and other indie promotions). But it was the announcement that the Broken genius himself, Broken Matt Hardy<\/strong>, and his “nefarious” Brother Nero, Jeff Hardy<\/strong>, were leaving Impact.<\/p>\n

While it was common knowledge amongst the internet savvy wrestling community that the Hardy’s Impact contracts were drawing to a conclusion in February, most assumed that the new owners of Impact, Anthem Sports<\/strong>, would be re-signing the duo. After all, when even the most die hard fan thought TNA and Impact Wrestling was on it’s last breath, it was the Broken brilliance of Matt Hardy that seemed to captivate the wrestling world and suddenly bring back viewership to numbers like they hadn’t seen in ages. The Final Deletion<\/strong><\/em> – and it’s subsequent shorts – became “must see” TV for wrestling fans. Impact was becoming cool again. And with The Hardy’s on an Expedition of Gold, winning tag titles at various indie promotions – including Konnan<\/strong>‘s The Crash Lucha Libre<\/strong>, which Impact was forming a partnership with – it seemed like the Hardy’s were indeed sticking around to help Impact to greater heights in 2017.<\/p>\n

But on the morning of February 27, Reby Hardy<\/strong> – Matt’s wife and member of the Broken Hardy Family the past year on Impact – began tweeting the following, seemingly airing some rather dirty laundry about her employers.<\/p>\n

While it didn’t take a rocket scientist to read between the lines, many gave it little real thought. After all, Reby was known for being a little hot headed sometimes. But within hours, Ryan Satin<\/strong> at Pro Wrestling Sheet<\/strong> broke the news that sent the internet and social media platforms into a tizzy. The Hardy’s were officially leaving Impact Wrestling.<\/p>\n
