Matt Hardy has shared his thoughts on the possibility of Vince McMahon returning to the professional wrestling business. Speaking on his “Extreme Life” podcast, Hardy said he believes there could be “some mad fact” to the recent reports that McMahon is looking to get back into promoting.
Hardy stated that wrestling is “in his blood” and that he could understand why McMahon would want to be back in the “captain’s chair” after being forced out of WWE.
“I think there could be some mad fact to that. I mean, I feel like Vince… all his life, he has known entertainment, he has known pro wrestling. He has wanted to be a promoter, and he became the greatest promoter in the entire industry… So, I mean, it’s in his blood. And I know he is probably frustrated with some of the things, you know, that have gone down. Obviously, a lot of it is of his own doing… but I can understand why he would want to be back in the limelight. He would want to be back in the captain’s chair trying to run a show or promote it. And do I think it’s something that is possible or feasible? I think it’s something he would attempt to do. Will it happen? Will it come to fruition? I don’t know, but I do see this as being something potentially he wants to do. I think it’s something he kind of yearns to do in all reality.”
When asked how he would feel about it as a former performer under McMahon, Hardy noted that Vince’s ongoing legal issues would be the deciding factor.
“I mean, what happens is what happens. You know, first and foremost, I think he’s got to just deal with these legal issues he has. He has to get this addressed, and then just depending on how those turn out, I mean that makes all the difference in the world.”
