"TNA Is Not Going Out Of Business!" - 10 Questions With Matt Hardy
5. So is it because you now have more life experience that you think youd make a better heel?
Not really. The reason why Im smarter, and my body. After doing this for 23 years, Im not going to be the young, athletic guy who can do every single high spot in the book. Im still extremely athletic, but considering what is expected out of the younger talent in this day and age, when you look at the X-Division guys, the cruiserweight guys or any of the Ring of Honor guys and some of the stuff that they do, I cant wrestle a style like that on a consecutive basis. I can still go out and wrestle and tell some great stories, and still take some great chances, but I cant do it four or five times back to back and still be healthy. So Ive got to be smart about how I wrestle. From a psychology standpoint right now, I would be willing to put my psychology up against anyones from a character perspective. As a bad guy, I would go out there and do the things I need to do to make you want to see the good guy whip my ass, because thats what a bad guys job is. So many bad guys in this day and age dont really grasp that concept too well.
