Exclusive Interview | Matt Hardy
Matt Hardy is relieved to be the first participant moving into The Round of 16 in the World Title Series. He says the concept is innovative and that he’ll have an unblemished record in the series and go on to become the TNA World Heavyweight Champion.
Hardy says he doesn’t regret giving up the World Title because he never doubted he’d regain it. In his match tonight, he predicts Eddie Edwards will be just another victim to the “Matt Hardy Formula: Bell + Wrestle + Twist of Fate = Victory.”
Hardy says he’d like the poetic justice of facing Ethan Carter III in the finals of the World Title Series to reclaim the TNA World Title – and to end EC3’s undefeated streak.
