The Hardy Boyz are currently the reigning TNA World Tag Team Champions, seemingly having fun with what is going to likely be their final run alongside one another, or within the industry altogether. At 51 and 48, Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy are well aware that their in-ring careers are winding up, and in an episode of his “The Extreme Lifetime of Matt Hardy” podcast, Matt reflected on what he plans to do once he hangs up his boots.
“Put me within the position of booking and helping out with booking,” Hardy proclaimed, adding that he knows learn how to make stars and knows the fact of being on top and the autumn off that comes after. “I ultimately see myself in a creative position; I ultimately see myself in a production position. … I’m a ‘lifer,’ like that is just what it’s. I mean, even once I’m unable to wrestle in ring, I will be around doing this s**t, giving back.”
Hardy then expressed that he’ll probably be higher at producing matches or in creative than he ever was as a wrestler, and suggested that this was why Vince McMahon tried to get him to make the transition sooner than he desired to. “I really like this s**t and I’m captivated with it!” he exclaimed. ” the way in which things went, especially coming back to TNA: Jeff and I having this huge groundswell of recognition and this huge resurgence and this TV deal happening? I feel like we’re at the correct place, the correct time.” Moreover, Hardy praised Tommy Dreamer and Delirious’ work in TNA’s current creative, and would love to hitch them as an element of it.
