10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Sept 9)
6. Jeremy Borash Watched WWE's Wyatt Family Compound Segment With A Smile
The ongoing drama between Matt and Jeff Hardy has been entertaining, but is certainly some of the most bizarre wrestling television TNA has ever produced as a company. Known as the 'Final Deletion', an extravagant brawl between the brothers was aired on Impact Wrestling in July. Mere weeks later, WWE presented The New Day vs. The Wyatt Family at Bray's own compound.
There were clear similarities between both segments, something that didn't escape the attention of Jeremy Borash. It was he who produced TNA's original, and he told Wrestling Observer Live this week that he watched the situation between New Day and The Wyatts on Monday Night Raw with a smile on his face.
Fascinatingly, Borash also said that he knew for a fact that WWE had copied the TNA idea, but that he didn't want to say his source. He did disclose his pleasure at seeing the McMahon family mimic a concept he had created in another promotion on their flagship program.
There's always been talk about TNA copying WWE, but Borash believes it was the other way about post-Final Deletion.
