The Hardy Boyz were the latest guests on Insight with Chris Van Vliet. They spoke about a number of topics and one of them was Matt’s spot with Ric Flair at WrestleMania 22.
Below is what Matt Hardy had to say about the spot with Ric Flair at WrestleMania 22:
“Yeah, so they needed a spot. They wanted a spot where Ric was going to say he was hurt and be carried out of the match and he was going to come back in the end, and he said, ‘I have an idea. Matt, I trust you. I know you’re one of the creators of this ladder match. Will you suplex me off?’ He said, ‘I’ll be honest. You’re the only person I trust doing this match.’ And he also told Edge that whenever they had the match, he said, ‘You’re the only person I trust to have this match with, because I know you and The Hardys created this ladder match nonsense.’ And I said, ‘Sure, that’s cool.’ I remember we talked about the spot, and we had a rung Ric was gonna be on, then I was gonna suplex him off. I remember we’d got to that rung as we were fighting, and I said, ‘All right, you ready?’ He said, ‘No, higher, higher, higher.’ I was like, Okay, we went up one more, and he took that bump like a champ and got him over. He was safe and sound. And he said it was great. He said it was an easy bump. He would always do that. He would do the deal where he would flip over the corner, run to the other side, coming off. He said, ‘If I can do that every night, it shouldn’t be that bad off the ladder.’ Afterwards, he said, ‘It was easy. Thank you. Yeah, it was good. Thank you.’ He said, ‘You took care of me, made sure I got over. I didn’t land on my head, and that’s all I wanted. Thank you. You’re the only person in this match I trust to do it with.’”
