Matt Hardy recently spoke about working Extreme Rising, Zack Ryder and more. Here are the highlights…

Why he decided to go to Extreme Rising: "I heard about the first show they had. Sometimes you hear about the ECW reunion shows and think it's just been done to death. But these guys are trying to create something different by using some ECW original guys and using guys who can wrestle that sort of style, like myself, to create an alternative product, which can only be a good thing."

Differences between today's TLC matches and series featuring the Hardys, Dudley Boyz and Edge and Christian: "Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart had the first ladder match but it wasn't very publicized, but when we had the series with the Dudleyz and Edge & Christian, we thought one day there would be kids who would go on to do things bigger and better than we did but with the state of the WWE today it hasn't happened and i don't think it ever will happen."

Thoughts on the Edge/Lita situation leading to his release from WWE in 2005: "I made mistakes during that time. I did try and handle everything and be as honest as possible. As hard as it was, it was a pretty exciting time with a guy coming back after being fired and with the power of the internet, they fought hard to get me back. Regardless if it was hard personally and emotionally working with Edge and Lita, it was great TV."

Feelings on his push upon his return to WWE in 2005: "I definitely think the WWE could have done more with me. I was in such a mindset to take my career as far as I could and just go, go, go. But with the WWE, if it's something they've not created then sometimes it doesn't get as much love and attention as something that they came up with themselves. I think i was a victim of that in someways."

Comparison with Zack Ryder: "It's like Zack Ryder. I remember him coming and telling me about his ideas for the YouTube videos and you know he got himself over and I'm sure saved his job at one point. But because it wasn't a WWE push, it seems like they're holding back on him and i don't think he is being pushed for as over as he is."

Matt hardy needs to go away

Feelings on his push upon his return to WWE in 2005: "I definitely think the WWE could have done more with me. I was in such a mindset to take my career as far as I could and just go, go, go. But with the WWE, if it's something they've not created then sometimes it doesn't get as much love and attention as something that they came up with themselves.

I don't know anyone in their right mind who would contradict the bolded part of the statement. If Extreme Rising can avoid making the same mistake with not only Hardy but anyone else on their roster they have a chance to succeed.

It is really easy to not notice Matt Hardy... I don't see any of the stuff he does unless y'all post it here.

statement yes, Matt Hardy a part of me thinks he just is bitter about the run his career had

Somehow anywhere he shows up, he seems to draw though. I don't see it either, but people want to see him.

Matt Hardy is on all these east coast indy shows. FWA, PWS, and more. I doubt IMO that he will come into Extreme Rising and make a big impact on that company or make a change to the wrestling business.

Now, Extreme Rising is a nice idea.

But they should take the nostalgia thing out as fast as possible and go with a new theme/idea/gimmick/whatever for their company. i would continue to use the old ecw guys, but they need a good direction.

honestly, Ill have to go to the NY show, and see the other shows.
