Matt Hardy calls out wrestling veteran’s ‘false claims’.
For over three decades in the industry, Matt Hardy has remained one of the most respectable athletes in the wrestling industry. With experience in WWE, AEW, and TNA, Hardy has won multiple titles and accolades. Extremely successful in both singles and tag-team wrestling, he was at the receiving end of a rant from a veteran.
Recently, Hardy called out veteran Perry Saturn who ranted out to Maven in an interview about Matt Hardy complaining to his WWE bosses bout Saturn being a stiff worker. The current TNA tag-champ denied these claims and called them out as ‘false’ on his X(Twitter) post.
This is abjectly false. I’ve never legitimately complained about anything during my career – Including working with snug workers, my booking or working with people I don’t see eye to eye with. People who actually know me & my character absolutely know this. I’ve certainly never complained to Vince about anything, LOL.
I also never worked with Perry for 6 months, either. I’ve worked with him probably a couple dozen times over my entire career, mainly in Radicals tag matches. I will admit that when asked the question of who’s the most difficult person I’ve ever had to work with, I’ve stated Saturn. That’s the truth.
Upon coming to WWE, he tried to take over & dictate what Jeff & I would do whenever he worked with us. I pushed back & made it clear we’re the Hardy Boyz, we have to do “Hardy Boyz” things in our matches. It felt to me he was trying to compensate for being part of a group that consisted of the incredible talents Eddie Guerrero, Benoit & Dean Malenko.”
The Radicalz consisted of Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko & Perry Saturn.
Matt Hardy Opens Up More On The Claims, Says It Is Their Responsibility To Defend Themselves
Sharing more on his X(Twitter) post, Hardy shared more of his thoughts and claimed it is their responsibility to defend themselves when charged with false accusations.
“I’m very disappointed in Perry for manufacturing this story. I honestly feel sorry for him, I know he’s been through a really difficult journey in the last few years of his life. I wish him all the best & hope he can find happiness & remain healthy. Life’s too short to harbor anger & resentment, so that’s something I never do in my advanced age.
It is also our responsibility to defend ourselves if someone falsely tries to paint us in a negative light. That’s why I wanted to set the record straight with a response. I am here to set the example that it can done with grace & without name-calling.”
Extremely active on the internet through his podcast videos, the former ECW champion has not backed down from sharing his opinions. And, this time, when Hardy was himself at the receiving end, fans saw him charge those accusations.
