Matt Hardy Discusses His TNA Status, EC3 Feud, Working With ROH
And More

Matt Hardy recently spoke out for a new interview. You can check
out the audio and some highlights below:
On his feud with Ethan Carter III: “Everyone calls him Ethan
Carter The Third. I actually like to refer to him as “Ethan
Carter The Turd.” It’s very accurate. We actually have a world
title match in a Full Metal Mayhem match, which is TNA’s version
of a TLC match. About 4-5 weeks ago I talked with Ethan Carter.
I came in and wrestled Kurt Angle and he said, “If you take this
match with Kurt Angle, and accept my offer to wrestle Kurt
Angle, I’ll give you a title shot.” Later, he bailed on that
title shot. I had to go to the fans, I had to go to social media
and I had to get a little campaign going myself using the hash
tag #Matt4Champ. Once that started, TNA management gave me the
opportunity to face Bobby Roode in a Tables Match for the #1
Contender (to the TNA World Title) when we were both ranked in
the top five. I won that match. And now, “The Law” Bully Ray has
given me the opportunity to pick the stipulation for this match.
So I picked Full Metal Mayhem and also Tyrus is banned from
ringside. To say the least, Ethan Carter is very nervous about
this. You should look forward to this match tonight. I promise
you, you’re going to get thirty minutes worth of action that’s
going to keep you on the edge of your seat and is going to blow
you away. Almost twenty years after this entire ladder, table,
TLC madness started I’m going to go in there and put on a
performance like none other. The kind of performance you won’t
see from any of the other pioneers of the TLC match, anyone not
named Hardy, I can tell you that.”
On the current situation with TNA’s status: “I’ll be honest. If
you follow one my best friends in life, Shane Helms, on Twitter
at the end of the eight day taping run we just did he kept
making jokes about #BadMorale. I really feel like TNA is doing a
good job of trying to keep the positive, optimistic, hard
working people around. These last eight days of television were
absolutely great. I know we did television all the way up to
Bound For Glory. We did some stuff for the IMPACT after that. We
did a variety of things. Everyone knows, it’s no secret, there
have been a couple of issues with Destination America and IMPACT
Wrestling but that deals not done yet. It’s continually going
on. IMPACT Wrestling is so successful right now internationally.
Even if we did lose domestic TV, which is a big “if.” Even if we
did lose that then we’re still going to continue to run. We’re
still going to be fine, we’re still going to exist. TNA is not
going anywhere, it’s not going out of business. My goal, right
now, is to do everything that I can to help TNA succeed
domestically. I’m trying to be really hands on. I’m being hands
on from a creative aspect to a talent aspect. I’m trying really
hard to help the younger guys by saying, “We can do this,” or,
“We can do that.” Shane Helms has been incredible as an agent. I
can’t tell you how good he’s been. He helps bring the best out
of talent. He improves their in ring work but is also helping to
improve their personas. He is tailor made for that job of being
a producer. There are some of the troops there that are really
dedicated to giving back and helping the business and that’s
what we need. We need people to have positive attitudes. We need
the creative people to listen to the guys. TNA is very open to
working with everyone now. Obviously there’s the interaction
going on with GFW. We would love to work with Ring of Honor, if
that was possible, but I think Sinclair are wanting to do their
own thing. I get that too. With TNA, it’s tarnished a little bit
in the some people’s eyes but we are working everyday. The
group, the handful of guys that are there, we are working
everyday to make TNA a better place because professional
wrestling needs IMPACT Wrestling. The up and coming wrestlers
need a place to work where there are veterans. So they can learn
and get better and the business really does need it.”

TNA shouldn't have to work with anyone else! Why work with GFW
or ROH or AAA or Wrestle-1? I know some will say 'exposure' or
'business sense' but ROH doesn't do it. NJPW doesn't do it. TNA
should have their own identity and vision.

With this GFW shit . TNa are not getting anything out of it .
GFWS are getting on TV but what are TNA getting from it ??
Nothing they need to work on their own and make their own brand
work before doing cross branding and they are shit at it anyway
as we have seen before in the past they don't no how to work
with other brands that well...

I wouldnt say Jeffs always been a bigger star than Matt. Jeffs
been given more opportunities & pushes, mainly due to Matts
injuries/personal issues
