Matt Hardy Addresses Recent Jim Cornette Controversy
In the world of professional wrestling, rivalries and controversies are nothing new. The latest feud making headlines involves Matt Hardy and Jim Cornette. The exchange between the two began after Hardy praised The Elite’s match against The Dark Order on a recent episode of AEW Rampage. Wrestling fans were quick to take notice, and the situation escalated from there.
Last week, Jim Cornette expressed his views on Matt Hardy’s praise for The Elite in an interview with Wrestling Headlines. Cornette criticized Hardy, accusing him of “selling his soul” for praising The Elite’s match. The comments didn’t sit well with Hardy, who addressed the exchange on his own podcast, The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy.
During the podcast episode, Hardy emphasized the importance of addressing issues without resorting to insults or negativity. He stated, “I don’t wanna be a podcast that says negative things about people. Like, I don’t wanna be a podcast that wishes injury upon other wrestlers that I don’t like, or bad things upon wrestlers that I don’t like. I want to be a positive, productive, inspirational podcast.”
However, this isn’t the first time Hardy and Cornette have clashed. The animosity between them dates back to three years ago at Double or Nothing 2020. Cornette publicly criticized the Stadium Stampede match, in which Hardy and Chris Jericho were involved. Cornette’s negative comments about the match led to Hardy questioning his friendship with Cornette.
“We did that Stadium Stampede over the course of the night before, and they edited it all morning and they worked on it,” Hardy recalled. “Jim Cornette had the audacity to say, ‘because Matt Hardy and Chris Jericho were involved in the Stadium Stampede match, I can no longer be their friend.’ Is this real life? Who says that? Who thinks like that?”
The ongoing feud between Hardy and Cornette highlights the different perspectives within the wrestling industry. While Cornette is known for his traditional approach to wrestling, Hardy represents the newer generation that embraces innovative and unconventional styles. This clash of ideologies has sparked a debate among fans and industry insiders.
It is worth noting that both Wrestling Headlines and Inside The Ropes provided coverage of this controversy, shedding light on the ongoing feud between Hardy and Cornette. Wrestling Headlines conducted the initial interview with Cornette, while Inside The Ropes provided additional insights into the situation.
As the wrestling world continues to evolve, clashes of opinions and rivalries like the one between Matt Hardy and Jim Cornette are bound to occur.
