Matt Hardy wasn't a big fan of the angle he shot for a long-expected rivalry with his brother Jeff in WWE back in 2009.
During a recent edition of his podcast, The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the wrestling legend and AEW star spoke at length about his 2009 feud with Jeff Hardy.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the show where he looks back on the memorable Hardy Boyz feud from WWE's past.
On how he and Jeff didn’t like the burning the house down portion of the angle: "The whole thing of burning Jeff’s house down. We never liked that. We’d never do a callback to that. But I remember thinking during that angle, I was like, me being jealous of my brother, who’s historically more popular than me? Sure, I can see that. Or, if I had his fireworks go off or do things to embarrass him. But like, burn his house down?"
On thinking that could have worked better if it was in the broken universe: "I think that might be a little jumping the shark because we’re trying to play this angle as serious. You know, it’d be different if it [had been] a broken universe angle."
