UPDATE: Reby Hardy continues to “attack” iMPACT! Wrestling/Anthem over The Hardys situation via social media: She tweeted the following over the weekend, regarding the “Broken Universe” IP:
Ayy @dish. You’re the only cable provider who pussied out to TNA’s threat. DO BETTER by wrestling fans who support you & the talent !

UPDATE: TNA sending “spooky” letters to cable providers threatening to sue if they air Hardys. Trying to screw ROH & ruin wrestling for fans

Hardys just EXISTING & providing for our family, mind you. I think they believe they own our birth certificates at this point…

TNA trying to ruin wrestling for all fans out of spite, but CONTRACTS ARE UP.
*YOU* let them expire, REMEMBER ? You don’t own these boys !

Irony is, Matt’s contract did not include exclusivity; could have legally appeared on ANY televised program WHILE UNDER TNA CONTRACT…

Don’t ever want to hear anyone talk about “burning bridges” when this move, which fucks ROH & cable providers, leaves the most ashes behind

TNA would rather destroy biz relationships with ROH & cable providers for the sake of trying to fck the Hardys. Think about that ! pic.twitter.com/uatbrCxHxg

Who is going to want to work with you now ? I mean, with the exception of GFW guys coming to IMPACT tapings for $20 towards greyhound fare..

As of this writing, iMPACT! Wrestling and Anthem have declined to comment.
ORIGINAL: As previously reported, TNA Wrestling/iMPACT! Wrestling sent a 15-page cease and desist letter to Ring of Honor regarding Matt and Jeff Hardy’s use of The Broken Hardys gimmick. Rebecca Hardy (aka Reby Sky) then blasted Anthem Media and iMPACT! Wrestling in a series of tweets earlier today. You can check out her tweets or read some of her statements collected together below:
“There’s so much more I want to say, but will refrain out of respect for people who don’t want their personal biz out in this mess. For now. What I don’t understand is why a company already fighting an uphill battle would make their own war path even steeper. Trust, I haven’t had one person (affected by this) respond with, “hey, maybe you should chill”. I’m not the only 1 who feels this way only difference is I have nothing to lose by putting it all out there. And the boys ? Yeah, THEY GOOD. Bet. They’re going to be JUST FINE But don’t come for hard working, loyal dudes who have done nothing but right by u in & throughout shady biz & expect silence. Bc I don’t GAF. Everyone else out there can call it what they want, but I go hard for my family & what I believe is right… ..& even harder when something is WRONG. And these MFers are dead wrong for this. Not about the $. Not about the gimmick. It’s the PRINCIPLE.”

OK, I had to pop back on to LOL at @IMPACTWRESTLING blocking fans on twitter. Y’all know you can’t afford to lose any more, right ?
— Reby Hardy (@RebyHardy) March 11, 2017
Be nice, guys. You’re out here hurting feelings, apparently ok, now I’m done.
