Matt Hardy Thinks Fans Overrate Their Influence
During an episode of his podcast, "Matt Hardy’s Extreme Life," Matt addressed fans who urged him to quit wrestling. He expressed frustration, saying,
"People have underestimated me from day one. I’m aware of my role, and that’s just how it is."
He added,
"Why wait? Unlike some internet trolls, I suggest watching last week’s episode. Those critical voices likely won’t make it to Saudi Arabia."
He also noted that no one online is truly shocked or rallying to say, "Matt Hardy shouldn’t wrestle in 2025."
Matt went on to suggest that fans who think they understand wrestling business deeply sometimes don’t know what they’re talking about. Despite the criticism — calling him unskilled or past his prime — he welcomes it and even challenges detractors to keep doubting him.
He confidently stated,
"Keep that up, I love it. And I stand by my words."
Matt and his brother Jeff, former World Tag Team Champions in TNA Wrestling, are now looking for one last run in WWE.
Fan Take: This update is a big deal for TNA Wrestling fans because Matt Hardy remains a passionate and resilient figure in wrestling, defying critics and showing no intention of retiring soon. His determination could inspire a fresh wave of energy and storytelling in the sport, highlighting the enduring appeal of veteran wrestlers.
