While appearing on Busted Open Radio, AEW star Matt Hardy discussed a wide range of topics.
During it, he spoke about bad taste storylines in WWE and why he doesn’t think things like that will happen in WWE following the retirement of Vince McMahon. Some bad taste storylines include the infamous ‘Piggy James’ storyline that made fun of Mickie James’ weight. Matt went through a similar situation when he feuded with Cody Rhodes.
“I agree, those were both bad calls in the big scheme of things. Even when my brother was back, and he’d obviously had his struggles over the years with addiction and alcohol, the most recent obviously. When they put him on TV and put him in like an addict-alcoholism angle and story, I feel like those are in bad taste.”
“I think you won’t be seeing that as much now that Triple H is in charge. That’s something you would never see underneath Tony Khan. He’s very forward-thinking, very progressive, and he realizes people who have these real-life struggles, you have to separate them. You really shouldn’t abuse them and make light of them on your television product.”
