Matt Hardy, Sasha Banks, Mick Foley, More React To Boneyard Match At WrestleMania 36
Matt Hardy has weighed in on the Boneyard Match from WrestleMania 36.
Matt Hardy may not have been the first to do cinematic style wrestling matches with the Broken Universe in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, but he is largely crediting with popularizing the style over the last few years. And the Boneyard Match between AJ Styles and The Undertaker in the main event of WrestleMania 36 reminded many fans of Hardy’s vision with the Broken Universe.
Hardy took to social media to comment on the match.
My twitter feed exploded.
Thanks for all the love, folks.. I’m truly honored. Cinematic matches 100% work with the right characters, scenario & fanbase – I envisioned them as a new branch of pro wrestling years ago.
Much like TLC did, The #BROKEN Universe will leave its mark.
