Matt Hardy is old now and out of good ideas so now he's just another attitude era wrestler angry that aew exists.

He is sadly now victim to the Always Bad curse, but I'll never forget that time he tried to get Hangman sign a contract and got switcherooed!

The casual fan is such a casual fan that they care about backstage issues and Punk drama, enough to not want to watch AEW because Punk is an innocent man who totally didn't start any of this poo poo.

Big Money Matt was an incredibly fun character and I wish he'd stuck with that instead of this depressing tag run with his equally cooked brother.

Matt was pretty great at reinventing himself for awhile, like V1 (in the beginning at least), big money Matt in ROH and of course broken Matt. He’s been out of gas for awhile but I don’t blame him for that; the Hardys reunion that flamed out kinda stalled him there for a bit.

I have fond memories of Matt in the Falls Count Anywhere and Stadium Stampede matches 4 years ago, the Christian matches that were really good despite him being immobile and that Bucks/Hardys match from DON 2022. The last Hardy Compound match was funny and some of his backstage skits are funny. I do think it says a lot about today's fans and today's journalists that his view that AEW's backstage drama detracts more than WWE's backstage drama is probably one that would win a poll if you asked random fans on X Dot Com (formerly Twitter).

You can also pretty much credit him for modern cinematic matches really. The idea is pretty dead now that no one cares about covid anymore but he should probably get a lions share of the credit for them being a thing in the first place.

He’s right about leaving Punk in the past though.

They should sign off at the end of every episode of Dynamite with the phrase "Furthermore, I consider that CM Punk must be destroyed".
