Most wrestlers have cemented their legacy through their in-ring work, but Matt Hardy became famous for his creativity behind gimmicks and in-ring storytelling. Over the years, Matt Hardy has constantly reinvented himself by introducing unique gimmicks for his character.
His Broken Persona is perhaps the craziest and most dangerous gimmick of his entire career. While it was created when Hardy entered the forties, one cannot ignore its popularity back when it was first introduced in IMPACT Wrestling.
The gimmick matches that he brought along the gimmick was a major hit among fans. Even when he signed with AEW, he appeared as a heelish Broken persona.
Speaking to Down For The Count, Matt Hardy explained why he prefers working as a heel. He explained that a negative character minimizes his in-ring limitations, which have become an issue at this age. But he mentioned that the heel persona allows him to focus on gimmicks and storyline creativity:
"With the current audience, especially during the pandemic era, the majority of the feedback that we get from fans is from social media and the diehard fans. With those fans, I prefer being a heel. I'm in a place in my career where physically I try and minimize and work smarter and streamline what I do in the ring. AEW has an incredible roster and most of them are young and can do these amazing things. Being an older guy, I am more about telling a story than displaying a ton of high-flying moves. I think that puts me in a better category as a heel," Matt Hardy said. (H/T-Fightful)
Given his long and illustrious career, which includes impressive accolades, AEW star Matt Hardy doesn't stop bragging about them when he's depicting a negative character. His current Big Money Matt character is another invention of his, which comprises a mix of brutality and comical.
