#5 He shot a bunch of promos and vignettes following his debut
Soon after he made his AEW debut, Matt Hardy went backstage and taped some promos and vignettes. Fans might remember that current AEW Champion Jon Moxley cut a backstage promo as well, moments after he made his shocking debut at Double Or Nothing in May 2019.
Hardy said that he talked with backstage personnel and pithed ideas for promos, to which they responded positively, instead of 'Well, we've got to ask so-and-so, and then we have to ask so-and-so, and then he has to ask Vince.' Hardy said that it felt refreshing to not have any constraints on him.
#6 He described the framework of AEW
Hardy stated that there's an outline that is followed in AEW: where do we want to go, what we would like to do to get there, and how do you suggest we get there. The rest of the work is done by the talent themselves. Hardy dubbed this as 'magic', and "the beauty of this business".
