"TNA Is Not Going Out Of Business!" - 10 Questions With Matt Hardy
2. How did your Stronger than Death slogan come about?
I think Stronger than Death came about for a couple of reasons. One ever since I started out becoming a Hardy Boy, we were always fearless, we were always extreme, and we were always daredevils. Stronger than Death is something that relates to someone who has a fearless personality. As time went on, I grew more and more into who I am as Matt Hardy, as my own personal character. Im not truly the acrobat, I mean, I dont do the high spots that my brother Jeff does, but I am truly a believer that the human soul is a powerful thing, and I think that if theres anything in life that you want to achieve, if you truly believe and you work hard, then you can. And I think the soul does go on, even after the physical body dies. I originally heard this concept of Stronger than Death from Black Label Society, and I just took it and ran with it. Ive been involved in so many crazy wrestling matches and so many traumatic events throughout my life, and somehow Im still alive and Im still able to perform at a pretty high level in the ring, so I feel that Stronger than Death relates to all that.
