Matt Hardy Says Vince McMahon Would Be Terrified Of His Broken Universe, TNA Must Find Its Identity
On episode 270 of Talk Is Jericho, WWE Superstar and Fozzy lead singer Chris Jericho interviewed 'Broken' Matt Hardy. In this in-character conversation, Hardy talked about wanting to do more matches like his Final Deletion match versus Jeff Hardy. Also, Hardy discussed what it will take for TNA to keep its momentum.
While Hardy would like to continue to create so-called 'masterpieces' similar to his recent cinematically inspired match against his brother, Jeff, the former TNA World Heavyweight Champion acknowledged that such matches must be used only sparingly.
"I am going to take my broken universe in that direction more for sure. You cannot have every match, obviously, in that setting, in that circumstance. That is not wise. It is just time to change wrestling from, especially when I talk about the Impact Wrestling, the TNA universe, when I address it, it has to change. It has been stale. It has not had an identity. It has been directionless. But I have given it an identity. And this Dixie Carter and this John Gaburick, these people who are supposedly creative behind it, if they don't watch their step very wisely, I will delete their asses next."
When asked what TNA must do to succeed, Hardy professed that the company must find its own identity.
"They have to find some sort of identity. They have had an identity issue, I think, for a long, long time because now professional wrestling has been engulfed under [Vince] McMahon's show and McMahon is above and beyond everything else and anything else that seems so similar to McMahon's show is going to end up coming off like a second rate copy. And I think it's very important and very vital for Impact Wrestling to find their way, find their own identity. And my broken universe is something different that has never been seen anywhere else before. I can tell you this: my broken universe, Mr. McMahon, would be terrified of it. He would be afraid to let me go there. He wouldn't let me shoot the fireworks on his show or he wouldn't let me burn up my brother, Nero. But it is time to go to a different place, a different time, and that is what Impact Wrestling must do to succeed. That is the only way TNA can truly grow, is to find it's own identity."
