Dutch Mantell Takes Shot at Hardys on Twitter, Matt & Reby Respond
– Dutch Mantell has spoken out again about the ongoing legal situation between Impact and Matt Hardy’s Broken Universe gimmick on social media. After posting earlier this week and suggesting there were “two sides” to the story — which prompted Matt to say he hoped Impact does “the right thing,” Mantell was back at it last night, posting in response to a Tweet from an Impact fan:
@MmmchelleMyBell @TrampCorpse @OmegaMetalqueen @DirtyDMantell @IMPACTWRESTLING @EdNordholm If Matt knew he had a case he'd be trying to get this in front of a judge ASAP. If Anthem was avoiding court, Reby would let us know.

Finally…somebody who GETS IT!! Yes if there was a case to be had, it would already be there. @EdNordholm @RealJeffJarrett https://t.co/5jlZe4onaC

The situation Mantell refers to, of course, is the dispute between Hardy and Impact over the ownership rights to the “Broken” gimmick. Impact claims that they have the rights to the gimmick because of language in the Hardys’s contract at the time which stipulated that any IP created by the brothers belong to Impact. The Hardys have disputed that fact.
Mantell’s post was noticed by Matt and Reby Hardy, who proceeded to post their own sides of the issue. Reby noted that they were trying to acheive “resolution by other means first.” You can see the full comments by Matt and Reby, as well as a final post by Mantell telling Reby to “calm down,” below:
Incorrect, Jeff Jarrett puppet. I know you're a minion following his childish orders to "bash" The Hardys..Is that what u want, @EdNordholm? https://t.co/eNIyJKXMGr

As cute as it is to watch @DirtyDMantell play into the naivety of most fans, no; it is not smart – financially or otherwise to take…

…ANYTHING "straight to court" without trying to reach resolution by other means first. @DirtyDMantell, maybe you should STFU before you…
