There are those claiming that TNA's vignettes involving Matt and Jeff Hardy hark back to the mini-movies produced by World Championship Wrestling in the early-1990's. There's a theatrical quality to the skits that many just can't take seriously, but one WWE Hall Of Fame inductee in particular absolutely loves what he's seeing.

Writing a fresh blog post for his official website, beloved former WWE announcer Jim Ross said that he couldn't get enough of what TNA were presenting with the Hardy brothers. Focusing on Matt, JR said he deserves a lot more credit for completely reinventing himself as a 'classic villain', and that the whole 'Final Deletion' concept has been unique.

Jim Ross is an authoritative voice on pro wrestling, so it may surprise some that he enjoyed such an outlandish idea. Somewhat shockingly, he then went on to say that the 'Final Deletion' scrap stayed true to old school values and presentation aspects, making it much more enjoyable.

The presentation has been undeniably different, and it appears as though that appeals to Jim Ross.
