Broken Matt Hardy recently spoke with Ring Rust Radio in promotion of this week’s Total Nonstop Deletion event on Impact Wrestling.
You can read a few highlights below, as well as listen to the complete interview in the player above.
Matt Hardy on how they had to try and top the success of the past ‘deletion’ angles and maintain positive momentum:
With Total Nonstop Deletion, my main goal is to give people the two hours of the most fun wrestling they have ever seen. I promise when you watch this show from beginning to end it will be the two hours of the most enjoyable entertainment you have ever seen in professional wrestling. The Apocalypto match, for the fans that loved the Final Deletion, especially the last five or so minutes when they saw the insanity that happened to myself and Brother Nero, you are going to see 50 minutes of that in Apocalypto. I can promise you this, the 50 minutes of Apocalypto, the main event that you will see next Thursday on Impact Wrestling, it will be the most entertaining 50 minutes of professional wrestling or movies that you have seen as long as you can remember, probably your entire life.
Matt comments on the idea and benefits of a working relationship between Ring of Honor and TNA after appearing on-screen at Final Battle:
I honestly think it would. I think if there’s a way for these places to work together and it was done smartly and correctly, then yes. I am someone who was able to get on the Final Battle and have Vanguard 1 hack their satellite feed and now a bridge has been built between the companies. The companies have to talk to each other now. All I can do is build a bridge. I can’t force people who are in charge or the powers to be to let talents walk back and forth on it. Yes I think if done right it could be very beneficial and I think anything that is new and exciting and fresh in the wrestling industry is a win not only for the company that it exists in, but also the wrestling fans.
Matt Hardy comments on fans buying into Total Nonstop Deletion and the ‘Broken’ angles, and leaving the negative past of TNA behind with new investors:
I just think that the whole issue with TNA is they are having some overall issues with management, but I think we have a new opportunity. I know a lot of people haven’t met the Anthem people or the Fight Network people, but I think it is going to do wonders for the company. I think in many, many ways they have a fresh slate as far as management for the company. On the talent side, it is greater than ever. The locker room is extremely talented and I think they are extremely willing to go out there and become the success that they have the potential to be. For me it starts at Total Nonstop Deletion. Like I said, there’s going to be so many things that you see in the show that are going to be a first and will blow your mind and that you’ll never be expecting. It’s going to be shot differently, it’s going to look differently, and the fans in the arena are going to look differently as well. This Apocalypto match, and I say this with sincere honesty, I think it’s going to be the most entertaining 45 minutes in professional wrestling that anyone has ever seen. This match will change the way people look at the business and it will change how the business evolves going forward in the future.
