Matt Hardy's `Ultimate Deletion` Succeeded Where WWE Once Failed
(GameSpot DS News)
 


On the March 19 episode of Raw, WWE debuted the `Ultimate Deletion,` a pre-recorded (final?) confrontation between `Woken` Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt. After a wide variety of missteps while booking this feud, the WWE, in a rare instance of humility, allowed Matt Hardy to do whatever he wanted for his latest short film. The result was that #UltimateDELETION was the #1 worldwide trend on Twitter on Monday evening.

But over the course of several weeks, WWE killed their momentum with a series of lackluster, unimaginative matches accompanied by repetitive promos, where Hardy and Wyatt would trade off laughing at each other. That got stale in a hurry. Fans love Hardy`s Broken/Woken gimmick, which began in TNA, for its variety, randomness ...
