TNA World Tag Team Champion Matt Hardy appeared on an episode of his “Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast and discussed several topics, including the brutal attack from Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth at Sacrifice immediately following the 10-Man Steel Cage Match.
Hardy said, “Seems like there was a little premeditated swerve, a premeditated attack that happened there. I looked around at the very end [of the match], obviously we won the match, we were celebrating, I got the pinball for our team with the Twist Of Hate on JDC. As we were all celebrating, guys started going out of the ring, headed up the aisle, they were slapping hands with fans. I looked over and I noticed that Ryan Nemeth was in the cage and he was messing with the door. I’m like, ‘What is this guy doing?’ I’m slowly starting to walk to him and ask him, ‘What the hell are you doing, weirdo?’ Before I knew it, I got dropped by Nic Nemeth with his finishing move. It was the silence that came out of the crowd, they threw beer cans in the ring, they were throwing popcorn in the ring. Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth, they proceeded to beat the shit out of me. Ryan got on top of me and actually turned into a real man for like half a second and tried to beat the shit out of me, was pounding my face. Nick was grinding me on the cage and beating me up. Thank god for my ice baths and my cold plunges, I had a real bad black eye, had a slit on my nose, I had a deviated septum — which that’s nothing new, it’s already been broke six times, what’s one more.”
On the return of his “Broken” Matt Hardy persona and the Willow persona for his brother Jeff Hardy:
“I think there is a part of Matt that is Broken in this and I think you will see some Broken Matt before too long. Maybe you even see a Willow pop up, that’s something Jeff has been wanting to do for a long time.”
