Jeff Hardy Interview Part II
Hardy said it killed him having to watch Matt go out there and give up the tag team titles, but watching Matt chase the TNA World Title was great because he knew Matt could do it. Then he wound up working for EC3 and made sure that he got his power meals and made sure Tyrus watched Sesame Street, but he didn’t regret putting his fate in Matt’s hands and the thing with EC3 could have been much worse. Jeff wasn’t going to let EC3 push him to the limit like he had and hit EC3 with the Twist of Fate, then watching Matt finally win the title in North Carolina was the best. It was very fulfilling, especially after he was the reason Matt had to give up the tag titles. Jeff thinks Matt having to give up the World Title was an honorable decision, and regrets that his interference caused Matt to give it up, but he’ll be the one chanting Matt’s name the loudest when he wins the tournament.
