The Post and Courier has an interview up with Matt Hardy where he discusses a variety of topics including his current run as ECW Champion, how much longer he plans to wrestle and more. Here are the highlights:
On wrestling in North Carolina or South Carolina:
"I love it anytime we’re in North Carolina or South Carolina. ne — because I’ll probably drive in from home that day. Two — because I’ll probably drive back home that night. It’s nice to be at home in your own bed. The fans in North Carolina and South Carolina are so good for me. They know that’s how I am. I’m born and bred that way. I’m definitely Carolina at heart. It’s such a pretty area down there. It’s a great show for me because I have a lot of fun doing it and I’m not far from home."
On his jump to the ECW brand:
"I really was happy about going to ECW. Anytime I am given anything, it’s exciting. It’s something I can sink my teeth into and make the most out of. It was the same with ECW. My first goal there was to try to become the ECW champion and to make it mean as much as possible and put some equity into it."
On working with Mark Henry:
"I feel like I’ve gotten some of the best matches out of Mark that he’s had in his entire career. It’s pretty interesting wrestling Mark and having Tony out there interfering, and then having to drop this old-timer (Atlas) with the Twist of Fate. Tony Atlas is definitely a character. And having come to ECW has really rejuvenated Mark. I think Mark’s been working real hard. He’s definitely very believable in the role he plays as far as being a killer and a strong guy. For him it’s worked well working with me because I feel like I get the most out of people when I get in the ring with them."
On how much longer he plans to wrestle:
"I definitely can see myself in the ring for another four or five years. My body is pretty good. I think I’ve got a lot of things left to do. I’m very honored and very proud to be ECW champion, but my goal is to become the world heavyweight champion and even the WWE heavyweight champion. I’m sure ECW is not going to be where I finish out my career. I think there a lot of things left for me to do here, and I would even like to start contributing more behind the scenes to help out some of the newer guys and younger guys just because I’m at a point in my career where I can do that. I just signed a new contract, so I’m going to be around for a little while."
