Impact Wrestling’s President: Ed Nordholm was recently a guest on The LAW: Live Audio Wrestling. Nordholm spoke on a wide variety of topics. The topic of interest was about the ‘Broken’ gimmick and the current dispute between Impact and the Hardy’s.
Nordholm claims that WWE has no interest in using the ‘Broken’ gimmick in WWE. This is based on conversations that he has had with the company:
“Oh, of course. I was open to speaking before and I’m open now. We’ve offered many times to find an arrangement with the Hardys that would allow them to continue to use the gimmick within reasonable parameters as to what’s important to us and what would be important to them. I understand with the dynamic of their move to the WWE and drama with which they created that launch – I understand their plan to create maximum “heat” in that period from when they announced to us that they weren’t going to sign the contracts, to the date that they revealed their new location. But I kinda half-expected that once that had been achieved, the thing would die its own natural death because as far as I know, the WWE doesn’t want the gimmick, and indeed, from every conversation I’ve had with them, I’ve been told they have no interest in it.”
Matt Hardy tweeted this a few hours later. Many fans think it is a direct response to Nordholm’s comments:
Wrestling fans, esp avid online fans, are astute.
When you attempt to serve them manure & claim it’s filet mignon, they’ll call you on it.

Looks like things are getting uglier and uglier.
Let us know what you think in the comment section below.
Are you sure that wasn’t in response to the uproar over Jinder winning the title?
Vince turn down a proven money making gimmick? This person clearly doesn’t know a thing about wrestler or VInce McMahon.
