Matt Hardy Compares John Cena’s Turn To Hollywood Cinema

TNA World Tag Team Champion Matt Hardy appeared on an episode of his “Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast and discussed several topics, including John Cena’s heel turn.

Hardy said, “I thought it was very well done. I thought it was great, I think it is good for business. I think John was very generous in being up for it. And I would imagine he’s pretty excited for it with everything being considered. And you know, you see people post all the time. And this whole meme is kind of like done to death nowadays, right? Where they put up, ‘this is cinema.’ Like when you see the thing with the — you know, he pulls him in, he hugs him. The facial expression changes, and Rock looks at him. And he does the thing where he weirdly comes off and he holds up the two at the end? Like, that was cinema though. And then [Cena] backed off, he kind of smiled again and kicked him in the nuts. The way that was executed was done perfectly, it was shot perfectly. And just the storytelling of that moment was huge. And I think that is something that is going to be a huge positive and huge plus for WWE business over the next few months, leading into WrestleMania.”

On how Cena should be presented going forward:

“I think him coming out and dropping the mic and not answering any questions was a very good call for that first press conference. I almost feel like if he comes out and he kind of explains like, ‘You know, for the longest time I tried to be the good guy. I tried to put smiles on faces, I tried to make you happy. But I got sick of it because it wasn’t the real me. You know, the real me is just someone who wanted to be a champ, who’s wanted to like, be the best and behold the most titles. And then it got to the point, as I got a little older, You know, I couldn’t do it anymore. You know, I couldn’t win the big matches. I couldn’t succeed, I couldn’t do that. So I was like, you know, I gotta just drop the act. I gotta go take what I want. I’ve got to stop giving and start taking.’ Almost kind of that mindset, and that’s just off top of my head.”
