Matt Hardy Reviews Broken Rules Match From NXT Halloween Havoc

On the latest episode of Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy, the TNA star talked about The Hardy Boyz dropping the NXT Tag Team Titles to DarkState in a “Broken Rules” match at NXT Halloween Havoc.  DarkState defeated Matt and Jeff at Saturday’s show to reclaim the titles. You can check out some highlights below:

On the match:

“It was a good experience. I thought Halloween Havoc was a very solid show, I thought they did a good job from top to bottom with the matches. I feel like the things they wanted to get accomplished in all the matches, they made those things happen. So I ended up being happy with it.

“I know ours — because those matches are so chaotic. They’re just so full of chaos. Sometimes when you have those matches, and if you’re down selling or there’s a lot of other action going on that you’re not aware of, you almost aren’t sure how it is. I actually got to watch the match back yesterday, when I was doing cardio, when I got home last night. And I watched the match back, and I was happy with it. It looked better than it felt initially.”

On Producing the Match With DarkState:

“I think they’re all, if given a fair chance, are going to do well. They have good attitudes. They absorb stuff, they’re attentive, they’re open-minded. I think they’ll do well as far as that goes. And you know, I like kind of what they’re doing, this whole renegade deal. Where they’re all different, and they all look so different, and it’s a real unique thing to have here. And it’ll be interesting to see if it can turn into something special.

“And at the end of the day, that was our role. We weren’t wanting to go out there and say like, ‘Hey, we signed up for this match. We’re Broken Matt and we’re Brother Nero, but obviously we’re crazy too.’ I don’t think anyone’s gonna say broken Matt is not a crazy man at the end of the day when it’s all said and done. And with Jeff Hardy, that goes without saying; he is just insane. We went out there, it was Broken Rules, or anything goes. and it was four against two and we probably knew that. I guess maybe we should have had The Dudleys. We should have bought The Dudleys some tickets out there just to sit in the crowd to watch her back, maybe after our big match. Or maybe we should have asked Je’von and Leon to come out and have our backs, whatever. But you know, we just went at, it me and Jeff. And that was the kind of story, trying to overcome the entire State of Dark. And then when it was all said and done, we fell to the numbers game.”
