Matt Hardy was recently interviewed by Olivar Alvar of Cultura Colectiva, when he was on a recent WWE promotional tour in Mexico. Despite being retired from in-ring competition, he still makes appearances and actively works as an agent. He will be appearing for WWE’s Supershow in Mexico City in December. He talks about, among other things, his Halloween Special, reinventing himself, being successful. This is what he said:
His experience working in Mexico:
“I love Mexico. Sure, the United States is between Canada and Mexico, but I’d much rather come down here to wrestle, if possible! I love the culture, the people, and [the] food! I’m a big fan of Mexican food. So, I just like being here to see all the amazing architecture and hear about its amazing history. And it’s so easy to come too: you don’t have to travel all around the world to do so!”
On being successful:
“I think in this day and age it’s really important to evolve and to change—now more than ever. Simply because the fans have such powerful voices today, and they are more relevant since everyone can have their say. People also have a short attention span in 2018, things move so fast. As a wrestling character or persona, I think it’s your responsibility to constantly change. That’s the only way you can become “hot” or do something good. That’s where I’m at now: I’m getting ready to evolve and get to the next stage.”
Advice for the future:
“I think the most important thing if you have something you’re truly passionate about and you want to go after it and become successful at it, is that you have to make it a lifestyle. You can’t “half-do” something. You can take a half-measure if you’re chasing a dream. What you must do is go all out, really believe in yourself, and have hope, faith and confidence that you can actually make it. And you really can: in this day and age, the individual has much more power than ever before because there are many more tools that’ll allow you to chase your dreams—especially in the entertainment industry. Just give it everything and you can make it happen.”
