Private Party spent a great deal of their AEW run connected with the legendary Matt Hardy.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Private Party recently sat down with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard. When asked what the biggest thing they learned from their time with Matt Hardy, Isiah Kassidy said the most important thing he taught them was to have fun and to remember that pro wrestling business is a business.
“That’s my guy. I think everybody knows that I am a Hardy Boyz mark,” Isiah Kassidy said. “Matt and Jeff. But I was specifically a lot more with Matt than Jeff. But I think the most important thing Matt taught me was, just to have fun. Have fun and remember this is a business. And I try to apply that to everything I do going forward. And also be more aggressive and yeah… Just show that we could fight.
“We could do all the cool stuff, show that we could also fight,” Kassidy continued. “There is so much [he taught us], I still talk to him to this day. I think the most important thing that stuck with me is just, ‘You could do all the high-flying stuff. Everybody’s seen it already. But you got to show people that you can fight. Show people that you can fight.’ And that’s about it. There’s so much I could say.”
Showing Matt Hardy more aggression
As for Marq Quen, he wishes he had shown more aggression during his time with Matt Hardy.
“I’m gonna say, I wish I showed… When we was with Matt, I wish I showed more aggression,” Marq Quen admitted. “When I was with Matt, and it’s just like, AEW when it came up, it was just like, wow this whole thing is like a dream. And then us being with Matt it was just like, ‘Whoa… This is even…’ It’s proven that it is a dream.
“And Matt used to always say, ‘Show aggression. Show aggression, show aggression.’ And I felt like, we would turn it. But we didn’t turn it up to the ability that we could do,” he added. “So that’s one thing that I wish — I would say to myself that I would’ve improved when we was with Matt more. I wish I could show how I could whoop some ass. Rather than just do a 450 [Splash].”
