“Broken” Matt Hardy Discusses The State of TNA, Returning to WWE

TNA superstar “Broken” Matt Hardy was recently a guest on Jim Ross’ podcast, “The Ross Report.” He discussed a number of interesting topics, including the current state of TNA, as well as if he would be open to a return to WWE.

It is no secret that TNA has had a number of ups and downs in recent months. Things seem to be in turmoil, due to the recent litigations with Billy Corgan, however, Hardy is confident that things look bright for the company.

“Well, currently, what the situation is, is that a company from Toronto, Canada, Fight Network, their parent company, Anthem, is coming in and they have purchased the tape library; they have purchased the majority shareholder stake in the company and they will be majority owners, owning 90% or more of the company. So they have very big plans and they want to take this and help Impact Wrestling reach its fullest potential. And there is a ton of potential there. There are many great mortal men and women that are on the roster there in addition to my immortal self.

And those people that are there, I’d love to see them gain those opportunities. Over the last couple of years they have been so unstable in such a volatile situation because the current management has just not been able to get things back on track and budget the money the way they need to do it. So fortunately, my broken brilliance has manifested this year and they have built up some momentum and we have seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

Now with the Anthem people coming in, I think it is going to change things and it’s going to be run in a very different way and I think it’s going to be a very good and a very productive 2017.”

Because of the success of the “Broken” Matt Hardy character, many have wondered if a return to WWE would ever be in the cards.

“That is a very interesting question because I know McMahon, he sees my broken brilliance and he would love to do nothing more than to draw it to his show because he knows, right now, it is currently the hottest entity in the professional wrestling business.

But I will say this, if the Impact Wrestling, and the TNA, if they want to retain our services, it will cost these Anthem men, many, many dollars and it is going to cost them a percentage of the company because I have to steer the ship, I have to drive. If they do not meet my demands, then I guess that is a possibility.

But I would only go to that McMahon if he knew what the deal was. If he tried to double-cross me in any way, shape, or form, then, I would render his ass obsolete, and then, I would delete him! Yes.”
