Matt Hardy recently reflected on the upsides and downsides of social media, particularly in the context of his recent exchanges with Jim Cornette, his co-host Brian Last, and their overall fanbase on Twitter, during an appearance on Busted Open Radio.
Speaking about the dual nature of social media, Matt Hardy stated,
“I have said this for a long time. Social media is the best thing ever to happen and social media is the worst thing to ever happen. When you are on social media, it gives guys that are hungry and driven a great platform to promote themselves, to promote their business, to promote their projects — whatever it may be. But it also allows people to come on social media without accountability and without responsibility. And they can insult people and troll people.”
Addressing the criticism he received from Jim Cornette’s fans, Matt Hardy emphasized,
“Just because there are a group of people that may follow someone who is an antiquated relic in terms of his opinions — if they came at me and insult me that doesn’t bother me at all. Matter of fact, it is kind of like a badge of honor because I am picking up attention in some capacity.”
