Matt Hardy believes a bigger TV deal is crucial to TNA’s long-term success.
TNA Wrestling‘s Matt Hardy recently spoke with Scott Fishman of TV Insider. When asked what he hopes to see from the company as it continues to rebuild, Hardy stressed that he wants to see TNA get a bigger platform for its weekly iMPACT show.
“I think being on a bigger platform for their television could help,” Matt Hardy said. “Media rights is where the big money comes in today. That is the first thing I would like to see from TNA for sure because I think they’ve had a great program for the last while. I think since TNA went from Impact Wrestling, it has been a solid show.
“I know the last six and seven months I’ve been there, it has been great TV, I think they’ve made the most of everything they’ve had. In some ways, it’s like ECW back in the day with Paul Heyman. He used whoever he could use. Then guys would get picked up and go to WWE and WCW for more money.
“It could be the case with TNA now where they may go to WWE or AEW for more money. But TNA will then take someone new and elevate them and plug them into that spot to move forward. TNA has done a good job doing that. So, if we can get on a bigger platform and more eyeballs on the product. That would be a game-changer for TNA.”
