Reby Sky embarked on an epic, blistering rant on Twitter on March 10, after tensions surrounding the departures of Matt and Jeff Hardy boiled over.

"LMAO F*CK YOU GUYS," is how it all started. Reby was incensed that new Impact Wrestling president Ed Nordholm tweeted his gratitude towards Matt Hardy just hours before attempting to DELETE his BROKEN character with the threat of legal action. Reby then destroyed the new regime, decrying Impact as "petty little b*tches" for barely acknowledging three-time TNA Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy in a video package documenting the history of the company.

Reby had a point. Pretending that Jeff Hardy didn't exist was petulance of which WWE would be proud, and it's quite apt. TNA/Impact Wrestling has spent its lifetime trying - and failing - to mimic the Stamford powerhouse. It has borrowed its stars, sports entertainment scripting tropes and even the very worst of its commentary ethos - almost like it had no choice. To indict TNA as a clueless wrestling company, it doesn't even know how to plagiarise correctly.

Reby didn't stop there; she accused the company of going after a man who purportedly wasn't even under contract (Señor Benjamin), Jeff Jarrett of sending "nonsensical drunk" text messages as a contract renegotiation tactic, and the company being generally so inept as to let all of its top stars leave. Chris "Chris Adonis" Masters is their replacement, so it's not as if she was wrong.

"F*ck that owl," is how Reby signed off, creating a catchphrase in the process.

Impact Wrestling was already facing an uphill struggle for relevance in what has turned out to be a difficult transition process. Reby has now buried it six feet under.
