Matt Hardy was pleased to see Scotty 2 Hotty make his AEW in-ring debut, as he is one of the last Attitude Era stars who can still compete.
On a recent edition of his “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, Hardy recalled speaking with Scotty backstage at a recent AEW Dynamite taping. He said,
“He just said we’re the last of the Attitude Era, you know. It’s like myself, Jeff, Adam, Jay –- Edge and Christian, Jericho. You know, he even threw himself in there. Really, there’s only a few guys, like in four or five years from now, there’s not going to be any left… Billy Gunn actually fits in there too.”
Matt added that these veterans have a lot that they can teach the younger stars who make up much of the AEW roster. He said,
“We have so much equity from being on TV in the hottest period in wrestling history, and it’s very important, I feel, to use those legends in a correct way.”
