Following Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore's surprising appearances on TNA Impact last night, there are currently unsubstantiated reports that Matt Hardy and Hurricane Helms could consider following Hardy and Moore to TNA.

Bleacher Report reports that Hardy might consider requesting his WWE release to be closer to Hardy and be on the TNA schedule.

Today, Matt Hardy posted two items on Twitter that helps fuel the idea that Hardy is frustrated with the current WWE schedule.

"Two hours into a media morning in Louisville & I remember why I dislike mornings & having to put the 'game face' on when I don't really have it," Hardy said.

Hardy added: "3 more radio interviews & I'm outta here.. Thank God. Oh wait, then I have 12 hours worth of TV to do after, ugh. Whatya do?"

Also on Gerweck they said Matt teased on his twitter about making a faction with Helms, his brother, and Moore calling it the "The Core".


Well considering Matt's brother is in TNA at the moment and Helms is big buddies with the Hardys and Moore it doesn't soon too unrealistic. Plus Matt Hardy is a jobber and Helms is on ECW not really doing much but having a Hero vs. Villain fued with Burchill. Matt should be pissed they killed off all his momentum when they turned him face again. So it would be nice to be rid of the Hurricane and these two would most likely be used better in TNA. But screw that faction crap.

I fully understand Matt's bitterness and his decision to jump if he does. I can't however pretend to be excited about it since he's been atrocious in the ring lately. The Hardys in TNA would be huge from them though.

Helms on the other hand has proven he can play an awesome heel and can be a pretty versatile draw.
If I were TNA I'd be looking at Burchill as well.

Don't know how I feel about this. I'd rather TNA focus on their own talent rather than bringing in a bunch of new guys. That said, with a bigger roster, they'll have to see that they need to get 2 shows to have them all on.

I never seen the hype IWC gave Burchill til recently with his matches on ECW. The guy can go. Since then, I wondered why they never pushed the guy.

Think about it though. How much talent does TNA have worth focusing on?
AJ, Daniels, Joe, Beer Money, MCMG, Pope, Angle... I'd say most of TNA's roster is pretty expendable. They've got plenty of room for better talent and bigger names.

Yeah, but one of TNA's problems are that they try and give the roster as much tv time as possible. That's why when you have one segment, they jump right to another. By 10minutes, you forget about what just happened. That's where pointless multi-man matches come in, short matches, segment after segment. They are forcing too much in 2 hrs. Them getting more talent will either A. Harm them even more or B. Make them realize they need another show.

IMO, they could do with taking a page from WWE and do a massive spring cleaning on talent they really aren't going to use.

Yeah ^^^^ I mean get rid of kayoshi, big rob terry cause he sucks and cannot wrestle. Bring in Kendrick and Burchill there and you have a more better roster already.

They just need a second show. Put the same one on thursday and do a live one on tuesday, imo.

I'd love to see Matt in TNA. Nou, I'm sure he could get into shape on that schedule. I see what some of you are saying, but like nou said there really aren't a lot of prime young guys, they could use more. Burchill would be possibly the greatest young addition they have ever signed if they could get his hands on him. Maybe he could get his fat ass into shape then too. Don't give a fuck about Shannon Moore.

Also, why the fuck remove Mick Foley? He's one of their biggest names and probably the BEST MIC USER on their roster. The only guys I can think of off the top of my head are Deaner, Kiyoshi, Shark Boy if he's still even there. Idk about Jesse Neal or Rob Terry. I want to see where they go at least, Rob Terry is just a beast but he's probably on roids so it may be smart to tell him to fuck off for the sake of TNA's image. I kinda like Stevie and Raven there for some reason, they add something, imo. They just need to be used better I think. So far, they've just been linked with Abyss and are now being treated as jobbers. With Dreamer possibly coming in and Rhyno and Taz/3-D there as well, I think they could do something. But in times of desperation, I'd clean out just all those old ECW guys cept Taz/3-D if needed.

It seems that TNA are trying to bring the historic tag teams to its locker room.
Hardy boyz, Nastey boys, and team 3D. thats good, but I dont think that those old fucks will keep up with the youngsters' pace and it will only be a waste of time imo.

Oh and Helms is going back to his lovely wife.. (she now looks like a filthy whore anyway)

Get rid of Nash, Hall, and Foley? Three of there most recognizable names? Not a smart move at all to be honest here but if Hall no shows or doesn't get in shape or if the three actually do start to reign over the new talents names then I could agree. Also Tomko, Rhino, and Raven? Tomko showed his talent in his last TNA run, Raven just needs his old psycho anti social gimmick back, and Rhino has had his good moments. I'm also a personal fan of Mr. Richards but if they plan on keeping him as Dr. Stevie then goodbye. I'd fire Cody Deaner, Daffney, Jesse Neal, Shark Boy, Doug Williams, Consequences Creed, Rob Terry, Kiyoshi, and The Nasty Boys. But The Nasty Boys is unrealistic.

Just think about it Matt & Jeff Hardy, Shannon Moore and Shane Helms. It could be this reckless devil may care group and call them like The Carolina Boyz or The Carolina Gang. And this is good cause Matt could go back to havin fun cause WWE isn't using him like that and if you watch the Hardy Show you know he is like Jeff and has the devil may care let fuck shit up attitude as well

The list I made is more of guys who aren't really doing anything at the moment or guys that don't fit into the immediate future. Recognizable names don't mean anything when the person can't do much in the ring. I thought Raven's return would mean big things, but he's just in good promos/segments but a jobber in the ring. Same for Stevie. Rhino started off good with his paranoid storyline, he was entertaining again and cutting killer promos. But I just don't like where it's at right now.

As for Foley that's

Definitely not Nash/Hall and Foley. Foley is still working some pretty enjoyable angles and The Outsiders could stand to put over a few of these younger tag teams. I think Beer Money/Outsiders is going to be awesome.

I was thinking the same thing with some kind of stable as well between the four of them. But if you don't think TNA would at least capitalize on the Hardys you're out of your mind. Hardy's vs. MCMG...
