The Final Deletion remains the Broken Hardys' most famous moment, but this December 2016 show was the duo's magnum opus.

Held at the 'Dome of Deletion' (read: Matt's back garden), Total Nonstop Deletion saw the TNA roster gather for all manner of wacky matches and angles. It was dominated by Tag Team Apocalypto: a chaotic clusterf*** of a bout that saw the Hardys, Decay, and countless others battle all over the property, concocting a smorgasbord of wacky spots in the process.

A blow-by-blow account can't do this wonderful mess justice, but it was full of highlights. Crazzy Steve falls into a volcano at one point, and wrestling legend Ricky Morton gets stuck atop a crane at another. Road Warrior Animal shows up purely to laugh in Morton's face. Jeff Hardy, of course, jumps off a bunch of high things. Matt and Shane 'Hurricane' Helms literally bury Andrew Everett and Trevor Lee. The Hardys attack said X-Division wrestlers with fireworks. A boat - yes, a boat - breaks up a pinfall.

What more could you possibly want from professional wrestling?

It ends on a happy note, though, with Reby Hardy announcing she's pregnant with Matt's first child. Full credit to all involved for crafting this deranged masterpiece.
