Matt Hardy: Michael Hayes Is The Most Influential Person In Our Career, No Doubt

The Hardys have high praise for Michael Hayes.

Throughout the history of wrestling, many stars have praised Michael Hayes for helping them ascend the ranks in WWE. Specifically, The Hardys believe that Hayes is the most influential person in their entire careers.

While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, the duo explained how Hayes helped them come up with a big spot for a tag team ladder match with Edge and Christian.

Matt Hardy: “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.”

Jeff Hardy: “Or into the Twist of Fate.”

Matt Hardy: “Michael, that kind of sounds like some, some cartoon shit. 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.”
