Report: Matt Hardy On Rejected Weekly Segment Idea
Matt Hardy pitched many ideas to WWE, but those did not end up happening. He is no longer with WWE and is looking back at everything.
Hardy spoke to the latest audio update of PW Insider Elite, where he revealed that WWE approved two more Broken specials in January, prior to his departure.
“They were still actively looking to sign me or looking forward for anything to do with Edge. I mean it was hard and I was set that if I was gonna stay there then I was gonna be Broken Matt because during that time when Jeff was gone in the last 10 or 11 months I submitted so many ideas that I thought were great things you know.”
“For instance, one of the ideas I gave them — because they have so much content 3 hours or RAW, 2 hours of SmackDown. I wanted to do something for 15 minutes. I wanted to come out and address the authority when they did the thing where they said they’ll listen to the fans over a year ago, right?”
“My idea was I was gonna address these guys and have a dialogue with them and they were gonna say what do you want do you want your release, do you want to be fired? I’d say no I wanna stay on the show because I think you’re going back on your word some and I just want 15 minutes of the show called the Broken Block and I wanna take guys like Ali, Chad Gable, Apollo, guys who don’t get used much and take them and have badass matches and actually I’d go away for a while and come back as Broken Matt I had all these things planned out.”
“I didn’t want to be the champion. I wanted to do all these things to help other guys. You know and a little variety to help the show as well.”
He will be making his AEW debut soon enough and it is likely the company will be more open to his ideas.
