I met Matt at a few indie show here in Vegas, very cool guy!
Back when I was in middle school I met Matt Hardy at the Southpoint mall. He was in one of the stores and they had emptied everyone out for his security. I slipped through security narrowly and was just me and Matt Hardy. The security was pissed and said I had to get out. Matt let me shake his hand and was like "what's up buddy". I still cherish this moment dearly. It was just a normal day for Matt. Thanks for shaking my hand that day. Make me remember that heros do exist!

It would be far less entertaining. I love Jeff but getting him to talk much seems like pulling teeth. I guess that's what having your brother speak for you for 20 years will do. Matts always been the representative of the brothers.
In 2003, I found out that one of my friends my senior year of high school was Matt Hardy’s cousin. He happened to be in MLW at the time. Only then did the cousin discover that I’m originally from Raleigh, NC. He took that information back to Matt & Jeff, who I was a huge fan of. I saw him again in MLW at the next show in the same venue (For reference, the shows were MLW Hybrid Hell and MLW Wargames 2003.) the cousin told me that Matt & Jeff wanted to recognise me as a member of Team eXtreme. To this day, I’m pretty sure I’m the only member that hasn’t signed to a major wrestling promotion.

I really do feel the Hardy Boyz ARE this business. Professional wrestling is the love of their lives. They really should come back to WWE, enjoy a well written run that leads to retirement and then they could produce matches and help young talent to TV, I feel that’d so much for both Matt and especially Jeff.

Real shame that he would've gotten the Hardy tag push he wants if Jeff gave more of a shit about his brother and his legacy than drugs. I know addiction is a disease and all but when does he have to take personal responsibility? Jeff is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time but I can't get behind him anymore because idk if he'll be there next week.
This is legendary. Hardy boys are my favourite tag team ever.
Matt Hardy's my favorite wrestler and I'm proud to say I've met him. Great guy as is shown here.
CVV this interview is…WONDERFULLLLLLLLL
Being a kid from NC growing up in the early 2000s, the Hardy brothers were a dream come true

Matt and Jeff Hardy will always be the tag team GOATs of wrestling! 🤘🏾🤘🏾 Great interview!!!
Matts such an og man doesnt get the recognition he deserves at times
Matt is always such a good listen and he's such a good family man and amazing father.
Love his line about social media and use that saying regularly because of Matt Hardy 😂
Fantastic interview, Chris! Matt Hardy’s insights on his AEW journey, potential WWE comeback, and the enduring legacy of the Hardy Boyz are truly captivating. It’s always a treat to hear from wrestling icons about their experiences and future plans. Keep up the great work! #AEW #WWE #WrestlingLegacy 🤼♂️🏆
I love that Chris Van Vliet never stopped being a fan and it shows
This was Awwwwsomee... *Clap *Clap, *Clap*Clap*Clap No but seriously, Great Pod Chris, & I can tell you were definitely a real follower of the Mattitude Era, because most people I knew growing up gravitated towards Jeff & I was like alone in being the BIGGEST Stan of Matt Hardy, every version, when I was younger. I literally grew a chinstrap beard & everything because of this guy. And I remember when he was Heel & had the Black/Blue tights & he did like a KZread poll in 2010 on if he should go back to the pants & I made sure I voted that one up. Early internet adapter, Inovater, & flat out a good dude... Thank you Matt!!! ✌️☝️
Matts a legend! Im 26 now he was my favorite growing up
the hardy boys DESERVE to be in the WWE hall of fame
Great interview Chris, Matt has always been underrated, he's such a legend!
Matt and Jeff one of the best tag teams of all time
Brilliant interview Chris I’m a massive fan of the hardy boys🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Always love a new CVV interview to start the day! 🤘🏻💪🏻
Matt is underappreciated. Great job CVV!
Ah Brother Chris, i knew you'd come
Dope Interview Chris As Always
Phenomenal interview! I'm a long time Matt Hardy fan and he represents NC well. Looking forward to the one with Jeff. Future HOF for sure!
People love to hate on the Hardy’s and claim that they “need to retire” but I’ve been to an AEW show. They got the biggest pop of the night. We let flair go till he can barely move; we can let the Hardy’s finish on their own time.
Once again CHRIS you got a good one!!! Matt is so cool. SHOUT Out to the OG's still in the game!!! He's got me by 4 years and he's still crushing it!!!
Don't listen to no idiot saying otherwise Matt and Jeff are total legends of wrestling.

Meeting the both of you Chris Van Vliet & Matt Hardy The Hardy Boyz was such an experience at SCX Saturday. It was my first ever meet an greet I was so nervous an excited. I couldn't sleep the day before. Awesome meeting the Hardy Boyz Jeff Hardy loved my logo an later on meeting you Chris Van Vliet chatted for a bit really made me feel at ease. The same way I feel about your interviews. Your interviews are won before they even start the love, the passion, the energy are so genuine. This is the type of work everyone should strive for

Funny enough I watched this Interview on my couch, the same couch I sat on when I answered a FaceTime from my Brothers phone (at comic con) and it was Matt saying hi to me 🤣 it was quick and unexpected but I appreciated him doing that so much
Lmao! Making Matt Hardy watch your wrestling videos is so funny to me! I love it. He’s so happy to be there watching too 😂
A very underrated mind of the wrestling business, any company should take this man as a producer, writer etc, I have no doubt that will happen ❤❤
As always the best interviews 🫶🏼
loved the interview ❤ invite Jeff too 🥹
When I was younger, I noticed when Matt switched from corner leg drop to the elbow but never knew why. That makes so much sense
Chris is smashing it well done m8 🔥🔥🔥
Lowkey best Matt hardy has looked super in shape but it doesn’t translate to the ring they’re already legends literal game changers
Matt has an awesome podcast I highly recommend everyone give it a listen
Is so cool to see Chris geek out and ask for Matt to rate his twist of fate. He was fan Gillingham so hard for a bit there!
What a great interview. Matt is a solid guy. I agree with him 100% when it comes to him and Jeff’s future. They gotta win some matches and be treated with some respect. Losing every night does nothing for them or their opponents. Let’s make it special.
To this day Jeff is the nicest wrestler I ever met. Got to meet Him n James Storm in the ring at a Tna live event for 20$. As fans we don’t realize how much they also can enjoy doing those things. Hardy’s have always been big on respecting fans n appreciating them
I’m just glad he’s around today after All Out 2020
My childhood hero. Glad to see Matt is doing well these days.
I like matt hardy. He seems very genuine. Thanks Chris!
Banger interview 👏
I remember wayyyy back in like 2005? or something they came to Binghamton for a WWE show they were one of the few superstars I met that day. Super cool guys.
I laughed out loud when you turned into a mega mega mark and showed him your backyard footage. He was so patient about it too so respect to him for taking the time to let you do that when he was clearly tired and had a long day.
wonderrrrrfulllll interview as usual chris van hardy

Absolutely love The Hardys. Met Matt in 2012 and he could not have been sweeter. The one goal I have is to someday meet Jeff. Thank you for this interview

Broken Brother Moore Matt Hardy - Best Of All Time
I can say I meet Matt at a mall in Kansas. He was doing the broken Matt at the time and could not have been nicer. Right before I took the pic he did his broken laugh it was awesome.
Matt’s laugh is almost infectious. Him explaining the croutons was hilarious
The Hardys are my favourite alongside the Undertaker. Their legacy stands :)
what a mad interview
EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU MATT HARDY THANK YOU CVV
Love his podcast
For a guy who’s had his body ravaged the way Matt has had especially with the head injury’s it’s kinda shocking how well spoken he is
Strong work.
1 more solid run for the best tag team of all time. Dudes in my neighborhood… all wanted to be Jeff. He had that effortless rock star swag
I can't see the Hardy's missing the opportunity to work with Edge and Christian again when all 4 men in their final years but Tony shouldn't have them doing so little in the meantime
I hope HHH gives them a good retirement tour
Legend!
Loved seeing your backyard wrestling stuff, Chris Sharp could work!
Seen you guys at the Square Expo assuming that's where you did the interview
He said he's hoping for one last run as a tag champion somewhere else, and to me, somewhere else means he knows they won't be pushed to the top of the card in AEW, and probably not in WWE. Don't be too surprised if they pick a new destination.
i really hope i can get a chance to meet the hardys one day! they’ve meant so much to me growing up and even now in my mid-twenties :)
He wouldn’t do this interview if he resigned with aew , something is up 😮
If he and Jeff don't have another run in WWE, or even AEW or TNA, these guys have had the absolute best run of any tag team. I'd have still loved to see them vs. The Usos (cause I don't remember them ever facing each other). But a hell of a run from start til now.
