During a recent interview with WFAA, Jeff Hardy revealed how much longer he wishes to wrestle.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On if he thought he'd still be wrestling at this age: "Man, I don't know. The way I was living life in my 20s and 30s, if I was living life the way I'm living life now, oh my gosh, I would probably be bigger than John Cena today. I was born with such a gift to be a pro wrestler and it just felt so natural and like I was totally created to do this thing."
On how much longer he will wrestle: "The cool thing about that is I'm still here, I still have life, and I feel good. As Matt had mentioned, we're big ice bathers and that's been crazy beneficial for me both mentally and physically. I don't put a number on it, I'll just pretty much wrestle until I can't wrestle anymore."
During a recent edition of his “Extreme Life” podcast, Matt Hardy discussed Penta’s debut on WWE RAW.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Penta making his WWE debut: "I thought it was tremendous. I thought it was great, I thought Penta was going out working against Chad Gable — Chad Gable was great for him. Chad Gable is just, he's tremendous. He is such a great talent, and he's also just a great guy on top of this as well. But just for Penta to go out and work against Chad Gable in a really competitive, good, strong match is just how Penta needed to be introduced.
"Once again, I say if you have some powerhouse, someone like Bobby Lashley or even Shelton going from WWE to AEW. The wrestling fans that are watching AEW, they're going to know who Sheldon Benjamin is because he has been on the biggest show, and he's been around for a long time. Bobby Lashley, as well. You know, I think they need to have strong wins."
On fans knowing Penta: "Penta, you know, the majority of the crowd knew who he was because the people that come and attend shows typically watch wrestling and keep up with wrestling, and most all forms of wrestling. But whenever he came out, he got a great reaction. And I think a new viewer that is watching Penta for the first time at home watching on the TV screen, they're like, 'Wow, this guy's really talented. He is reminiscent of Rey Mysterio to me.' I think he's going to be like someone that becomes a big star like Rey Mysterio, and I think that was totally the right direction to go with Penta."
