Matt Hardy addresses backstage issues in AEW and wrestlers using social media to “vent”
During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Matt Hardy said the following in regards to backstage issues in AEW…
“The best advice I can give anyone is if you have an issue with something or someone, go to them directly and talk it out. When people harbor resentment towards someone else, that’s when bad things happen. You have to get it out. You have to be forthright and really address these scenarios and situations. I feel like as a veteran, I am trying to help expedite that process. There’s a lot of guys like Jericho, Jon Moxley, and Bryan Danielson. They’ve all really stepped up and had these super positive productive meetings and we’re gonna continue on that path. I think we’re gonna get there and everything’s gonna be good.”
Hardy also commented on wrestlers airing dirty laundry on social media…
“Social media is one of those things. It’s like a double edged sword in many ways. I say it all the time. The best thing about social media, it gives everyone a voice. The worst thing about social media, it gives everyone a voice. If you have an issue with someone, you have to go face to face with them, and that’s the only way anything ever gets settled. Social media, once again, can be great because there are guys who can advertise whatever they’re doing. They can promote their abilities. They can promote their promotions, whatever, those are great. But also, there’s so many people that get upset and angry and then that’s an easy way for them to lash out, and that’s an easy way for them to vent, but it’s the wrong route to take.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
