Jeff Hardy Says Sting Deserved A Wrestlemania Moment

In an interview with Ring Rust Radio, Jeff Hardy gave his thoughts on Sting getting a match at Wrestlemania and more. The interview took place before the 3/28 episode of Impact and Wrestlemania. Here are highlights:

On his cage match with James Storm: “With this one there is actually a roof on the cage. It’s kinda like the Lethal Lockdown match, I don’t know if you’re familiar with the Lockdown pay-per-views from the past, but there’s a top on this cage. So there is no escape whatsoever. There are weapons hanging from the roof, we went in there and we tore it up as you will see this Friday. The show is all about Hardy’s revenge. I’ve been out for a month, James Storm knocked me out with the cowbell, I hit the stairs and was unconscious, and I get my revenge this Friday.”

On Sting getting a Wrestlemania match: “I think it’s overdue and about time he gets that WrestleMania moment because he deserves it. I saw the Wyatt promo on Raw, which I loved, then I saw the whole Vigilante vs. King promo for Triple H and Sting’s match. I got goosebumps from it, I wasn’t even a wrestler at that point I’m just a fan. Sting was one of my first and biggest influences. One night in North Carolina when I reached out and touched his shoulder, he had the face paint on, and I didn’t know why but I loved it. I wanted to be just like him and I was only 11 years old. Now that he is going to be in a match at WrestleMania blows my mind. I can’t wait to see how it turns out but I know it will be great I am sure. Every time I was in the ring with him it was just a blessing for me to be in there with a role model and a guy I looked up to so much. I can’t wait to see his moment in WrestleMania.”

On how long he will keep using high-flying moves: “It’s always how I’m gonna be till I can’t do it anymore. It’s kinda of a day by day, match by match process with me. I’m pretty sure I know what my body is capable of doing and getting away with without getting seriously injured. That’s the main thing is to avoid that big, serious injury. I feel confident in whatever I come up with in my mind that I can pull it off. I always go for it unless someone shuts me down. As long as I am able to wrestle I will always be that Jeff Hardy style people know and love until I can’t. ”
