Matt Hardy talks about lack of success of his new character
Top wrestlers try to bring interesting characters inside the ring. He believes that the character can work well as more fans get to know about it. Here is what he has to say:
“The Broken Matt Hardy character is a very fan driven character. “It was just very hard for it to work as it should have without fans in the venue. Obviously the whole world was in the midst of this pandemic, so we just changed courses and I went to a more reality based character in Big Money Matt. We took a step back from Broken Matt, and who knows? Maybe now that fans are back, you’ll see Broken Matt again down the road.”
As Jeff Hardy is released from WWE he is getting a lot of challenges from Young Bucks for AEW. He was also asked about the potential of this new character Broken Matt/Brother Nero pairing. According to him he doesn’t mind if it happens soon. “It would be fun. “Broken Matt and Brother Nero are a tag team made in heaven.”

Matt Hardy concludes the reason of his success
Matt Hardy has been a 20 year veteran in wrestling. If we talk about his career in AEW he is yet to grab an important title yet. During this interview he was asked what the reason of his success is. Even his brother has a long and dedicated career. There are a lot of factors involved but this is what he thinks is the major factor:
“Luck. I draw it up to luck. “I guess both my brother and I, we’ve been very resilient I feel like. So many people that were vets at the time, when we first started wrestling and the style we wrestled with, which is almost the modern day style today. Especially doing all the ladder matches, table matches and TLC matches, so many people thought ‘you’re not going to be able to walk by the time you’re 40’, because we did so much more than they did back in the day.
It was also kind of the ushering in the new style of pro wrestling in many ways. So I think it was just taking care of ourselves and also luck. It’s one of those things where we’ve both been very lucky. And just trying to be smart with our decision making on when to take a calculated risk and when not to.”
