After an initially unsuccessful run in TNA back in 2011, Matt Hardy's return to the company saw him achieve infinitely more notoriety and praise, with virtually all of that stemming from his descent into the Broken Matt character.

Engaged in a blood feud with his, ahem, blood, Matt and Jeff squared off several times in the summer of 2016. This all led to the now infamous Final Deletion segment - a pre-taped mini-movie bout filmed at Matt Hardy's home.

With Matt victorious, Jeff became "deleted" - and in his place stood Brother Nero. Over time, the angle became so entertaining that the Hardys aligned once more and became a babyface tag team again. Producing more and more outlandish pre-tapes, the Broken Hardys became the talk of the wrestling world and soon captured the TNA Tag Team Titles in another pre-taped production (Delete or Decay).

The productions became so popular that, following another extraordinary pre-taped match at Bound For Glory, an entire episode of Impact Wrestling was taped at the Hardy compound. The special broadcast was titled Total Non-Stop Deletion, and featured various weird and wacky spots that was car crash viewing at its finest.
