Pro wrestling legend and TNA star Matt Hardy spoke with Fightful on a number of topics, including how WWE Hall of Famer Michael “P.S.” Hayes is the most influential person in the Hardys’ career.
Hardy said, “Michael is the most influential person in our career, no doubt. But one spot that, I think, evolved from his original suggestion is—he was talking about the ladder match. The first one we were doing the tag team ladder match with Edge and Christian. He said, ‘Hey, can we do something where maybe, Jeff, you were standing on one ladder and it was over the other ladder, like a seesaw and it say you jumped off and you stepped on it and the other guy goes flying. He could do like a big splash or a big Swanton.”
On his reaction to the spot:
“‘Michael, that kind of sounds like some, some cartoon s**t. It’s like what they were doing with cartoons. That’s Wile E. Coyote stuff.’ But then like from that initial pitch that he threw out there, that’s where we did get the see saw spot.”
