Matt Hardy Says There Was A Specific Vision For The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Death Match

The matchup was an interesting one to say the least as Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarrett battled in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre Deathmatch. The match featured several references to the horror franchise, as the match was sponsored by the upcoming video game release for the IP.

The match would end up even including Leatherface, who came out with a chainsaw as the match reached its final stretch. He would chase away Karen Jarrett during his spot, with him having little actual effect on the matchup.

Speaking on his Xtreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt Hardy was asked for his thoughts on the match.

“There were a couple of things I would have maybe liked to have done differently, but overall, I was okay with it. I was happy with what we watched back, what we saw back when I actually watched it back. There was a company who was paying X amount of dollars for us for the video game and they had a very specific vision and our job was to go out there and fulfill that vision. That’s what we did to the best of our ability. That’s why you saw these weird weapons being used, why you saw the hammer that was very specific for the finish. There were many things that were very specific and we followed that very closely. We did everything they asked us to do and they were ecstatic at the end of the night, so that was a win,” 

“Tony Khan was really into the idea of doing this match, he was really excited about the sponsorship and donating a portion of the money to the Maui charity, which is a great cause. Tony was so into this match, he actually dressed up as Leatherface. He played Leatherface and ran out with the chainsaw. TK was Leatherface,”
