HE IS SIR BROKEN MATT HARDY! And he is! I want to meet Sir Broken Matt Hardy, and even if I have the prestige work around his Broken Mansion! He is the modern age Magical Aristocrat!
+Valentine Wolf lol i know right! i saw his greatness in NC last month on my page i got his promo i would of filmed the match but then there wouldnt be loyalty and broken matt would have been forced to DELETE the footage and me as well!
Yeah Sir Broken Matt Hardy is more bizarre with every interview, with all due respect to the Obselete Eater of Worlds, Sir Broken Matt Hardy is the New Face Of Fear!
Jon Doe This isn't kayfabe! This isn't a character! This is simply a broken man who's currently being trapped in this vessel known as Matt Hardy! So your comment is deemed OBSOLETE!!!
I still cannot digest how Matt Hardy got SO over. I always respected him for solid in ring work but never thought he'd ever be anything but "that other Hardy" and now? HUGE Kudos to that man!
flclfan85 This isn't kayfabe! This isn't a character! This is simply a broken man who's currently being trapped in this vessel known as Matt Hardy! So your comment is deemed OBSOLETE!!!
Watching this video after 5 years again,5 long freaking years,time has really changed,not just wrestling but everything..just hope i could have taken the time back to that moment.
João Fernandes This isn't kayfabe! This isn't a character! This is simply a broken man who's currently being trapped in this vessel known as Matt Hardy! So your comment is deemed OBSOLETE!!!
If you were to tell me six months ago that I was going to say that my biggest hero in wrestling right now is Broken Matt Hardy, I would have figuratively powerbombed you through a table! Now that he is, I might have to figuratively go through that table myself! Broken Matt Hardy is the best thing going right now despite being in a company that may not have much time left in it.
This just made my top interviews of all time list for a number of reasons. Firstly, hats off to you for interviewing him like you did and not trying to pry him out of his character. You allowed him to speak and act like he wanted to while still getting some decent answers from him. Secondly, Jesus Christmas do I love his dedication to this character. It's honestly impressive and im not sure many people could pull off something so over-the-top and still be taken seriously. Here's hoping he continues his broken brilliance regardless of the fate of TNA. Well done sir!
I want to say this is one of the most professional fan interviewers I've seen in a long time and you do an excellent job of keeping with the kayfabe vibe of your interviewee! This is how wrestling interviews should be, where you can talk about shoot stuff and real life things but you still allow the wrestler to stay in character. 'Mean' Gene would be proud!
Mushtaco I believe he was on Chris Jericho's "Talk is Jericho" podcast a few months back, and held an hour long conversation while in his "Broken" character, Matt is truly magnificent at what he does.
There's certain people who "get" wrestling. Keeping kayfabe in interviews, re-inventing themselves multiple times, staying relevant well past their primes... Matt Hardy is one of those people.
Broken Matt is the best thing that has happened to wrestling lately. I was on the PR houseshow where Jeff wrestled this past weekend and people just kept chanting "delete" and "obsolete". He did the "i knew you'd come" bit and ppl lost it. What a great time to be a wrestling fan
Literally all of his "great promos" have been worked shoots on Daniel Bryan, yeah it's entertaining to see a heel be like "haha you can't wrestle anymore" but anyone could do that, much like anyone could have cut CM Punk's pipebomb that everyone went mental over for no apparent reason when most of it is stuff Paul Heyman said about the company in his worked shoots on SmackDown and more famously ECW One Night Stand 2006, whereas playing a character like Broken Matt takes a certain level of charisma, I can definitely see influence from Ultimate Warrior but it is more focused and therefore much better of a character than Ultimate Warrior.
of course no doubt and alot of others may feel the same but sadly like Matt said Meekmahan cant be trusted which he would be a fool not to take and run with this to big money because if your crowd chants catchphases from another promotion when theres a refrence you be a fool to think its not ovah or populah lol
If Broken Matt Hardy came to WWE, and starting "healing" others to be broken like him(almost like the Wyatts) then that would be the most brilliantly broken thing to happen to WWE. DELETE ROMAN REIGNS!
Z-Man, Fantastic interview. Way to intertwine kayfabe with real fan questions. Broken Matt Hardy has single-handedly resurrected kayfabe. I appreciate you getting to take part in spreading the broken brilliance.
O'Ryan Dillon This isn't kayfabe! This isn't a character! This is simply a broken man who's currently being trapped in this vessel known as Matt Hardy! So your comment is deemed OBSOLETE!!!
It still is a joke. People getting behind it doesn't change that fact. Fans occasionally rally behind terrible gimmicks and that's okay. Dude Love or The Undertaker are two examples of this working.
People got behind Dude Love? I'm watching that period of time right now on the network. (for the first time) and it seems like he was way more over as Mankind by that point... which is why he kept going back to that gimmick.
ya know the whole broken matt thing isn't my cup of tea in general, but as I've said before. i'm very happy he's having great success with it and this interview was pure joy.
Imagine the pop for say, Royal Rumble '17 if all got silent waiting the next competitor, and all one could hear was "I knew you'd come" or something like that...it would be huge. I hope this happens.
Broken Matt Hardy is literally the last thread binding TNA's corpse from falling to the Oblivion. The Fact he doesn't have the big Strap is blasphemy! Deleting comprehension.....
I absolutely love how much Matt hardy is into his character he brings back that feel of older wrestling times when wrestlers would stay in kayfabe outside the shows and it's great
I just thought of something. Broken Matt Hardy says his soul is immortal but his vessel will not live forever. So, when Matt Hardy is no more, could somebody take his gimmick and say he's the reincarnation of Broken Matt Hardy in a new vessel? This thing can be passed down through generations.
Matt Hardy is simply amazing! The amount of dedication to this character is by far some of the best to date.
This isn't a character. Your comment must be DELETED
This is a vessel known as Matt Hardy
HE IS SIR BROKEN MATT HARDY! And he is! I want to meet Sir Broken Matt Hardy, and even if I have the prestige work around his Broken Mansion! He is the modern age Magical Aristocrat!
+Valentine Wolf lol
i know right!
i saw his greatness in NC last month
on my page i got his promo
i would of filmed the match but then there wouldnt be loyalty
and broken matt would have been forced to DELETE the footage and me as well!
Eddy Munster - He would definitely eat you!
This was fantastic
JDfromNY206 heyyy JD nice to see you here lol
Yeah Sir Broken Matt Hardy is more bizarre with every interview, with all due respect to the Obselete Eater of Worlds, Sir Broken Matt Hardy is the New Face Of Fear!
JDfromNY206 I knew you'd come
JDfromNY206 Brother JD! I knew you'd come!
Thank you for bringing more attention to this video.
I want to thank you for mentioning the video.
The man who is reviving kabefabe
ShaneDaHorze And it couldn't make me happier.
He is the only one doing it so its kinda obsolete.
+Sophie Matthews Paul Heyman stays in character too. So it's not just Matt
Kayfabe is a lost art and he practices it quite well
that isn't kayfabe. that's nonsense
the way he says "Mic Ma Hon" (McMahon) gets me every time.
Edit: I know it's spelled MeekMahan now but I'm not correcting for context.
MEEKMAHAN
BurnoutInc I watch all your videos!
Chase!! Love your stuff man!
BurnoutInc hey
MeekMahan*
What if Broken Matt Hardy isn't a gimmick but Matt himself actually snapped
HopeAuq i was at the show where this interview took place and during his match, i was convinced he was really Broken
ScruffyLookin1138 He's a very good actor and is very dedicated to the role
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
Lita started it.
It only speaks for his brilliance that i also had that thought before
Afterwards, Zane faded away and classified himself as OBSOLETE.
cartmann94 OBSOLETE!
cartmann94 Obsolete!
QuadWrestlingFan22 obsolete
OBSOLETE

Awesome that you scored a Matt Hardy interview. It`s amazing how he maintains kayfabe at all times.
Jon Doe This isn't kayfabe! This isn't a character! This is simply a broken man who's currently being trapped in this vessel known as Matt Hardy! So your comment is deemed OBSOLETE!!!
King Kobra OBSOLETE!!
If you didn't, listen to the Jericho Podcast with him. Its even more impressive since that is way longer and still no breaking
Bliss and Wyatt are the only other people I can thik of
I kind heard his real voice
Bryan was never seen again
You diserve a Nobel
*Was never seen AGEEEN.
Igor_Laza__
they found his glasses with bite marks in them...
He got eaten, deleted and Obselete!
See dean ambrose this is what a lunatic looks like.
amen to that
It's not Dean's fault. His and the WWE's world is way too Obselete currently.
Valentine Wolf OBSOLETE
He's pretty much just Jon Moxley paired down to fit into a PG raiting
Jorten Panda Lunatic!???? YOU SHALL BE DELETED. This is brillaince not lunacy
Bow down to Broken Matt Hardy! Let his broken brilliance envelop you and show you the way.
Nice Simic avatar bruh
Strictly Better MtG
Thanks.
Strictly Better MtG Dev likes wrestling!!!???
All hail The King of Deleting things.
you mean hillary
+Jose Corrales She the queen, don't you know royalties?
The Broken Magician Aristocrat, the Great Sir Broken Matt Hardy!
D00MTR33 he's a she?
Big Dick Hoff - A "she" has likely no penis.
I still cannot digest how Matt Hardy got SO over. I always respected him for solid in ring work but never thought he'd ever be anything but "that other Hardy" and now? HUGE Kudos to that man!
Is there a "The Bucks of Youth" T-Shirt? If not, there needs to be
BUCKS OF YOUTH!!
gotta give Matt credit for keeping in character like this
flclfan85 This isn't kayfabe! This isn't a character! This is simply a broken man who's currently being trapped in this vessel known as Matt Hardy! So your comment is deemed OBSOLETE!!!
King Kobra LOL
Probably the only one left who still keeps kayfabe alive. He's a genius, plain and simple.
Strax Indeed, dude.
Strax taker never broke kayfabe aswell
vicente paredes I said "the only one left". Taker appears once per year, I don't consider him being an active wrestler.
Miz doesn't break kayfabe either. It's unique but kinda stupid.
Strax Paul Heyman doesn't break character either
Watching this video after 5 years again,5 long freaking years,time has really changed,not just wrestling but everything..just hope i could have taken the time back to that moment.
the saviour of kayfabe.
João Fernandes This isn't kayfabe! This isn't a character! This is simply a broken man who's currently being trapped in this vessel known as Matt Hardy! So your comment is deemed OBSOLETE!!!

Now that he is, I might have to figuratively go through that table myself! Broken Matt Hardy is the best thing going right now despite being in a company that may not have much time left in it.
no need for that good sir. we share that same feeling. this guy is brilliant. who woud say matt can be this awesome.
João Fernandes That's a relief!
João Fernandes kayfabe involves acting. there is no acting here
This just made my top interviews of all time list for a number of reasons. Firstly, hats off to you for interviewing him like you did and not trying to pry him out of his character. You allowed him to speak and act like he wanted to while still getting some decent answers from him. Secondly, Jesus Christmas do I love his dedication to this character.

Great interview, honestly he at least actually answered your questions! Most broken interviews he just tries to scare everyone.
Mushtaco I believe he was on Chris Jericho's "Talk is Jericho" podcast a few months back, and held an hour long conversation while in his "Broken" character, Matt is truly magnificent at what he does.
There's certain people who "get" wrestling. Keeping kayfabe in interviews, re-inventing themselves multiple times, staying relevant well past their primes... Matt Hardy is one of those people.
Matt's not past it
Credit to Brian for doing the interview kayfabe and keeping it up. I've seen others interview Matt and not be able to do so, so well.
I love that he's still staying in character outside of the ring, not many wrestlers do that anymore..
I will eat them all
Could Matt Hardy delete the list of Jericho?
I think secretly the list of Jericho is the same thing as Matt's deletion list.
You know what? You just made THE LIST!
PhatGirlLuva68-ThelastOG Take your list, turn it sideways and stick it up your ass you fucking jabroni.
RedskinsCanefan21 That hurts :(
Also if you're going to rip off The Rock, at least do it correctly, candyass.
RedskinsCanefan21 LOL We're cool, bruh.
he kills me with that meekmahan shit lol
Feels Bad DELETE
Broken Matt is the best thing that has happened to wrestling lately. I was on the PR houseshow where Jeff wrestled this past weekend and people just kept chanting "delete" and "obsolete". He did the "i knew you'd come" bit and ppl lost it. What a great time to be a wrestling fan
Wow Broken Matt hardy,the only person besides the Miz to deliver inch perfect promos these days
Cian Mcsweeney yh
Cena? Rollins? Dolph?
Literally all of his "great promos" have been worked shoots on Daniel Bryan, yeah it's entertaining to see a heel be like "haha you can't wrestle anymore" but anyone could do that, much like anyone could have cut CM Punk's pipebomb that everyone went mental over for no apparent reason when most of it is stuff Paul Heyman said about the company in his worked shoots on SmackDown and more famously ECW One Night Stand 2006, whereas playing a character like Broken Matt takes a certain level of charisma, I can definitely see influence from Ultimate Warrior but it is more focused and therefore much better of a character than Ultimate Warrior.
dont forget Jericho fam
But Sir Mike Mizanin plays an INCREDIBLE character, meanwhile Sir Broken Matt Hardy is just being himself!
I'd only want to see him in WWE if he kept the gimmick and had a big main event push
Jack Phillips and have a feud with Bray Wyatt
Please
of course no doubt and alot of others may feel the same but sadly like Matt said Meekmahan cant be trusted which he would be a fool not to take and run with this to big money because if your crowd chants catchphases from another promotion when theres a refrence you be a fool to think its not ovah or populah lol
LOL@ Meek Mahan!
Mu-mu-mu-monster heel!
That intro/outro music. I thought for a moment that Ghost and Goblins would start playing.
txcforever agreed!
Matt hardy version 1: Obsolete!
LOL I don't know how Zane kept a straight face throughout the whole thing. Great job, man. I could not do it.
Just realized Hardy kinda looks like a fusion between Seth Rollins and that vampire guy from the new ECW
Servbot Rambo Kevin thorn lol
i think u meant Seth Rollins looks like a fusion of Matt and Jesus
Your greatest interview! Must have been an honor to interview such a legend.
there are currently 4 people who didn't like this interview. I think they need to be DELETED!!!
They are OBSOLETE!
damian price its the whatculture members
the 4 people are Meek Mahan and the days of new!
T R - Right! That man of horseface, and the other of fatness in cape are OBSELETE!
@damian price I noticed that there are 34 obsolete mules who do not respect the BROKEN brilliance.
He's always was a brilliant wrestler and promoter. He knows the ins and out of wrestling...this is awesome to see Matt at the top right now!
He's right. I was so anti all of this. I have been converted. Delete! Delete! Delete!
I know, right? Some of this is a little much, but not ALL of it. lol
Matt and Jericho, best things in wrestling
They should team up to DELETE the STUPID IDIOTS Brock Lesnar and the Berg of Gold.
+Joelsuf do you mean Brak Leesner??
You just made the list and you have been deleted !!
Wait...
omg a broken stupid idiot...
"So, what are you here to do, as a team?"
"DELETE!"
"And... what will you be deleting?"
"IT."
See wwe, this is what happens when you let your wrestlers be creative and not have your shitty writers binding their hands 24/7.
no this is what happens when you go nuts he look like he should be yelling at empty cars
***** true
Imagine Vince singing the chorus of 'Obsolete'. HAHA!
Pro Wrestling Illustrated Gimmick of the Year 2016: Matt Hardy (Walking Meme)
I love Matt Hardy. He is a genius who truly loves what he does. This broken persona is so perfect and wonderful and amazing.
If Broken Matt Hardy came to WWE, and starting "healing" others to be broken like him(almost like the Wyatts) then that would be the most brilliantly broken thing to happen to WWE.
DELETE ROMAN REIGNS!
WWE would ruin the character 1 month into a program with another wrestler.
He'd have a dancing, "fun" gimmick by the next PPV guaranteed.
pjomayo Sad but true...
MEEKMAHAN will ruin Broken Matt Hardy.
Eric Cartman if this happens, the unthrustworthy individual that is MeekMahan would ruin and delete himself by comfirming his obsolete destiny
Z-Man,
Fantastic interview. Way to intertwine kayfabe with real fan questions. Broken Matt Hardy has single-handedly resurrected kayfabe. I appreciate you getting to take part in spreading the broken brilliance.
"I WILL EAT THEM ALL!"
Simply brilliant!
Glorious deletion sounds like the tag team name for Matt Hardy and Bobby Roode
I wasn't expecting Matt Hardy to stay in character the whole time. Pretty cool interview.
He always does in interviews these days.
Hell of an interview, Brian! Matt's dedication to kayfabe is simply phenomenal... Always a pleasure to watch the both of you :)
The 'Bucks of Youth' ahahaha Broken Matt Hardy is great.
This man is sheer BRILLIANCE!! Thank you for the interview :D
Never thought that people would get behind his character like this. I remember when it was just a joke.
O'Ryan Dillon without Matt's devotion it would have never worked
O'Ryan Dillon This isn't kayfabe! This isn't a character! This is simply a broken man who's currently being trapped in this vessel known as Matt Hardy! So your comment is deemed OBSOLETE!!!
It still is a joke. People getting behind it doesn't change that fact. Fans occasionally rally behind terrible gimmicks and that's okay. Dude Love or The Undertaker are two examples of this working.
*.......The Undertaker*
That's some straight up sacrilege right there.
People got behind Dude Love? I'm watching that period of time right now on the network. (for the first time) and it seems like he was way more over as Mankind by that point... which is why he kept going back to that gimmick.
0:50 - I will EAT THEM ALL
Probably the greatest line ever
I will fade away and classify myself as OBSOLETE!
Not Jack Douglass OBSOLETE!!!
Si.... Wi
Matt Hardy is on top of his game. He gives some of the best promos in the industry today. Great interview as always, Mister Zane.
ANYONE ELSE ON A BROKEN/WOKEN MATT HARDY BINGE?
Fuck I love how he could answer real questions in character. Just really magnifies Matt's mic skills
3:58 it's been a long time since I've heard Matt's normal accent.
Kayfabe lives within BROKEN Matt Hardy
ya know the whole broken matt thing isn't my cup of tea in general, but as I've said before. i'm very happy he's having great success with it and this interview was pure joy.
Wow, good one Zane!! Amazed you had caught a glimpse to the aura of the broken one..
Matt hardy character is by far the best I've ever seen. matt is a genious
Oh my goodness! Thanks for the interview!
DELIGHTFUL!
The broken Matt Hardy character is one of the best the decade of 2010-2020
This is Broken Gold.
This is nothing short of awesome. Possibly one of ,y favourite interview. Good job Wregret!
Did anyone else want Brian to ask Matt about Lita at the end
lmao i was waiting for him to mention her or Edge
Ahhh Sir Broken Matt Hardy would ate him xD
but Brian Knew BETTER..
I hoped that Brian would've ask Matt what are his thoughts on Lita and Edge. But like what Flimation77 said Brian knew better.
AMY DUMAAAA
God damn I love Broken Matt Hardy so damn much. This was great Zane!
Imagine the pop for say, Royal Rumble '17 if all got silent waiting the next competitor, and all one could hear was "I knew you'd come" or something like that...it would be huge. I hope this happens.
Maybe more like "Universe of the WWE, You Knew I'd Come" then Moonlight Sonata hits
I have so much time for Matt Hardy and his determination with the character. Its a beauty to behold!
Stays in character like a wrestler should micmahon love it.
Second best interview you've done!!! #1 definitely Jim C.! I never knew Matt was so naturally funny.
Broken Matt Hardy is literally the last thread binding TNA's corpse from falling to the Oblivion.
The Fact he doesn't have the big Strap is blasphemy! Deleting comprehension.....
That was awesome!!!! His character is quite refreshing.
Damn he sells this shit so good. I haven't seen such a fun character since the Attitude Era.
this was amazing Brian you are awesome.
i wanted you to say Lita in that word association so bad.....
That had to be so fun interviewing Broken Matt!
I FADE AWAY AND CLASSIFY MYSELF AS OBSOLETE!
OBSOLETE
This is one of the greatest interviews I've seen in the last few years.
matt is trying so hard not to laugh lol.
Thank God for the Hardy's! Making wrestling good again! Can't say enough good things about Broken Matt and Brother Nero!
The Broken Brilliance brought to us by The Z-Man?! What a glorious day!
I absolutely love how much Matt hardy is into his character he brings back that feel of older wrestling times when wrestlers would stay in kayfabe outside the shows and it's great
How can you not burst out laughing when you stand next to him? XD
The best part is how much Matt just goes for it. It's just simply brilliant.
vince macmahan
it's MEEKMAHAN you #obsoletemule
justin roelofs he kills me everytime he says it 😂
DELETE!
Awesome seeing you at APW. U made my heart skip a beat👍
Broken Matt is the wrestler of the year for 2016. nobody even comes close.
AJ?
it is absolutely amazing how he manages to stay in character while still giving satisfying answers
I need a link to that 8-bit Broken Matt Hardy theme!
F'n A. Great Job. Pure Pros. Matt & Zane. Wanted it to be waaaay longer.
i like what he's doing here. believe or not, this is the most interesting i've ever seen him
Can you please do more of these in-character shoot interviews? That was brilliant.
I just thought of something. Broken Matt Hardy says his soul is immortal but his vessel will not live forever. So, when Matt Hardy is no more, could somebody take his gimmick and say he's the reincarnation of Broken Matt Hardy in a new vessel? This thing can be passed down through generations.
JDfromNY206 sent me to watch this video and I am glad that he did. This was an amazing interview. You got a new subscriber out of it.
Bucks of Youth
Thanks for using my question, Brian!
greatest interview ever.... kayfabe lives!
I love how he's legitimately answering questions but keeping his character at the same time.
most legit lunatic I've ever seen smh better than the other one ,this guy is dangerous
Who woulda thought Matt Hardy would be in the same conversation as G.O.A.T. I love it. He's the man
