Matt Hardy discusses working with younger talent in All Elite Wrestling.
Hardy has been working with the younger generation in AEW throughout his run, working with the likes of HOOK, Private Party and Ethan Page since making his debut for the promotion.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Hardy spoke on the importance of giving back.
“I love giving back. When we were younger, I remember that being much bigger of an issue with the older talent. Myself and Jeff, we promised we’d never be those guys. It’s part of the responsibility to give younger guys a rub. Without people giving back, the business withers away. Someone made the older talent. Then comes the time to make someone new. The business has definitely gotten a lot more selfless over the past 30 years,”
“I remember the Gunns as kids from when they were the ages of my own children. Now we’re wrestling them. How crazy is that? Father Time holds back for no one. As you get older, things change, but you have to make the most of it,”

Hardy is currently working with Ethan Page, in a storyline where he is the current holder of Page’s AEW contract.
