Matt Hardy won the TNA heavyweight championship when he defeated EC3 in a Last Man Standing match on last night's (Jan. 19, 2016) episode of Impact on Pop. He did so with the help of not just his wife, Reby Sky, but Tyrus, who turned on EC3 to join up with Hardy.
To ensure his heel turn was consistent across all platforms, Hardy then went off on one hell of a rant on Twitter:
10 FYIs for internet nobodies about your new TNA World Champion, The Premier Performer on the Planet.. #BigMoneyMatt, The ICONIC Matt Hardy

1) I am the ONLY World Champion that matters in the professional wrestling industry. All other recognized champions are inferior to me.
— Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) January 20, 2016
2) Fans don't care that I killed myself for this biz. I came back from the dead in 2011 to become wrestling's #1 talent. GO TO HELL, MARKS.
— Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) January 20, 2016
3) I loathe you. My wife, @RebySky, somehow hates you all even more. You're all selfish, disrespectful & ungrateful hypocrites full of shit.
— Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) January 20, 2016
4) I am done with EC3. On all platforms. #BLOCKED Even if he ever does return to the ring, he'll never be the same. pic.twitter.com/3agdGhmBvx

5) I will not even look at any tweet directed at me from any of you insolent underlings that does not begin with "YOUR GRACE" or "MY LORD".
— Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) January 20, 2016
6) I offered to pay #Tyrus DOUBLE what EC3 paid him. He did it for much less. @EthanCarterTNA has burnt all of his bridges. EC3 has no one.

7) The MATT HARDY BRAND is bigger than the @impactwrestling brand.. I will be treated as such by TNA's management. pic.twitter.com/YWBkDntAW2

8) Do not approach or bother my family or me in public. If you pester me for a photo or autograph, be prepared to pay $500 for it.
— Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) January 20, 2016
9) I am the only option for Number ONE in the 2016 #PWI500. The ICONIC Matt Hardy & my brand is the most important entity in this industry.
— Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) January 20, 2016
10) I've now got my priorities straight. 1-ME 2-My family 3-Make my bank accounts more massive by milking every dollar out of TNA & the biz

You in for this?
