Matt Hardy on how he and Jeff Hardy got their credibility

Matt Hardy was interviewed by Zerxes Wadia while Matt was touring India. There, he would explain how he and his brother Jeff Hardy got their credibility in wrestling. He also revealed which superstar he enjoyed working with the most as a tag team, besides Jeff.

 


 

Matt revealed that Michael Hayes taught him and Jeff how to gain credibility as wrestlers. Here is what he said:

“The best advice anyone in the business as ever given me was Michael Hayes. Back when we were first put with him and we were going to get an opportunity to move up he said to me, ‘Sure, you and Brother Nero can do all these beautiful flips and moves and he can jump off your back doing the lovely poetry in motion, but do they really believe that you could beat someone? I need to be looking at you from the front row and knowing you guys can do all these cool maneuvers but also can beat me up.’ That was a way that helped us gain credibility.”

Matt also revealed that apart from his brother Jeff, he enjoyed working with Bray Wyatt the most as a tag partner.

“I would say my favorite tag-team partner other than Brother Nero would be the Consumer of Terrestrial Entities, that would be Bray Wyatt. As far as favorite title reign, that’s a very hard question. They are all very meaningful. I would say the one where we (Brother Nero) returned to the 33rd edition of WrestleMania. It was very special because that was a magical moment.”

Hardy would also explain that his brother was his most formidable opponent. The two have squared off in various matches in many promotions over the years. This includes WWE, TNA and more.

“Brother Nero. When we are together as a team we make magic, but as opposition, he is a very hard person to handle. His vessel is very durable. He’s been doing all of these insane spots and things for over a quarter of a century. He may be indestructible.”
