Matt Hardy Reacts To WWE Superstars Coming 2TNA Matt Hardy, His
Heel Run & More

On WWE Superstars coming to TNA: I think it’s nice to see
someone, like Drew for instance, get to go out and show everyone
his full potential. When he came to WWE as The Chosen One and I
was working with him, they had a lot of grand plans on the table
for him. But I don’t know what happened along the way, there was
some sort of monkey wrench thrown in or whatever. Then he
ultimately ended up doing the 3MB gig and it just didn’t allow
him to live up to his potential. He was becoming typecast in a
certain role. It’s one thing that’s great about TNA because some
characters may not have gotten great opportunities at WWE. They
actually get the opportunity to realize their full potential on
Impact Wrestling.
On the start of his heel Mattitude run in 2002: It was
interesting. I look back now and I liked a lot of the things I
did, they were very entertaining. Sometimes it was hard for me
to get booed in some arenas and I realize why when I look back
now. You know how the saying goes, man, if you knew then what
you know now. My approach to being a heel now would be different
now, so drastically different. I feel like I could be a great
heel. I actually feel like there’s more money in a heel Matt
Hardy as a singles competitor than a babyface Matt Hardy as a
singles competitor. I have a good grasp on what it takes right
now to be a heel and what it takes to make the wrestling fans
dislike you and want to see your opponent whoop your ass.
Looking back, it was good for me because I was able to go out
and show that I was a solid singles wrestler and entertaining in
a singles role. It gave me a chance to showcase my own
personality. But looking back, I could’ve been such a better
heel. I think I was just in that mindset where I had just split
from Jeff and everyone knows that Jeff was much more of a
representation of what the Hardy Boyz were meant to be than I
was. He’s the guy that is the natural daredevil and he does such
beautiful, graceful, athletic moves. He is more of an extreme
guy than I am. Once we split, he continued down the Hardy Boyz
path and I had to do something drastically different. In my
mind, I just wanted to be good and to succeed. I wanted people
to like what I was doing with my act. I just wanted to make sure
that I was going to be established and successful, that was
probably my priority even over being a heel at that point.
On the best heel in wrestling right now: Eric Young is an
excellent heel. I think Eric Young is a really, really good heel
because he does things intentionally so that you don’t want to
cheer him, you don’t want to get behind him and you don’t want
to support him. Kevin Owens is good. I worked with and against
Kevin in Ring of Honor when I was there. Kevin Owens is good
because he is very good at seeming normal. He’s a father and he
loves his kids and his wife, you would think that describes a
babyface. He’s able to turn things around. He’s able to do the
things that seem cowardly, although he’s projecting an image of
being tough. Kevin really knows who he is and that’s important.
If you’re a wrestling character, especially as a heel, you have
to understand who you are and you have to understand how the
crowd views you. Kevin is really, really talented in doing that.
Kevin Owens and Eric Young, those are my two top heels right
now.
My note.
Like Matt said in this interview when you have stars like Bram
and Ec3 who was part of NXT coming to TNA and changing their
style and gimmick up. You can not say TNA are just going off
there name ..
EY is a great heel and he is one of the best in TNA and he is
different, He does what he wants when he wants..

EY is seriously underrated! For years he was used as a comical
character and now hes been pushed into a stupid feud with Chris
Melendez over a prosthetic leg!
