Ex-WWE Star Reveals Real-Life Heat With Matt Hardy
Ex-WWE star reveals that he had real-life issues with Matt Hardy.
During a recent interview on the Wrestling Organization Online YouTube channel, former WWE wrestler Perry Saturn spoke about wrestlers he disliked working with during his time in WWE and WCW. One of the names that came up was Matt Hardy.
Why Perry Saturn Hated Working With Matt Hardy?
While explaining his issues with Hardy, Saturn shared his frustration with Hardy’s preparation process. He said Matt would often script an entire match the night before with Michael Hayes and wouldn’t give proper input to the wrestlers involved regarding their scheduled match. Saturn felt this approach was unprofessional.
Now, the next guy, he was not difficult to move around, or he was very easy to have a solid match with, but we had issues before the match. And that would be Matt Hardy. Everybody loved Matt Hardy, except for me and Dean, and Benoit.
And it was only because he kept setting up a match, me and Dean, or me and Benois. We’d show up, and they dictate to us what we were doing. That’s disrespectful. There’s no way around it. We would have done anything they wanted.
We just wanted input in the match we were involved with. And no matter how many times we expressed the fact that we did not want them setting up the match the night before, Michael Hayes kept doing it. I put most of the blame on him because he was the agent in charge. But still. (From 4:21)
Perry worked in WWE from 2000 to 2002. He has also worked for other top wrestling promotions like WCW, ECW, and TNA. He officially retired from the ring in July 2013.
