Broken Matt Hardy Talks About Wyatt Family/New Day Blasphemy

During an in-character interview with the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast (transcript credit wrestlinginc.com), “Broken” Matt Hardy spoke about the blasphemy of the recent New Day/Wyatt Family brawl on RAW. Here are highlights:

On focusing on the entertainment aspect of pro wrestling: “Now, I have extended professional wrestling. I think professional wrestling has almost been stale over the last few years because these outspoken, arrogant ants, they like to get on the Internet, they type in the keys over and over and they’re very opinionated. They have made wrestling into something where it is like ‘five stars is what the match should be’ or ‘it’s terrible’ or ‘it has to be some kind of athletic contest full of spot monkeys’. That is what these people want. I am bringing wrestling back to a different universe, where it is more entertainment. I am going to base it off entertainment and I put the ‘fun’ in ‘dysfunctionality’.”

On the New Day/Wyatt Family segment from RAW: “I saw that blasphemy, that sacrilege. Nero, Wyatts, I know what they’re doing. Oh, they are copying. They are mimicking. They saw the greatness of The Final Deletion. I went out and I deleted Brother Nero, the man who was a thorn in my side. They tried to jump on it, thinking they could use WWE and McMahon and his money to produce some masterpiece that could blow away what we put together as Final Deletion. That is not what is going to happen because ours was truly heart and soul.”

On Lashley and the TNA title: “I think the next person on my list to delete will be Bobby Lashley. The man who currently holds the title of the world in TNA. I deserve to be the champion of the world. I am the only man at TNA that can carry that title and actually hold it the right way. At the beginning of the year, that is how I started the year off as holding the title of the world. And now Bobby Lashley is walking around with my title and that is possibly the only thing that can make me whole and stronger, even stronger than I am now currently, holding that title.”
