Matt Hardy On Jim Cornette – ‘He Is Like One Of Those Cult Leader People’

During the latest edition of his “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, Matt Hardy opened up on his recent war of words with Jim Cornette on Twitter.

Additionally, the AEW wrestler opined on why he believes Cornette creates negativity among wrestling fans and why the people who follow him have a cult-like mentality.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On having no time in his life for negativity: “Life is too precious to waste your time on the petty stuff. Life is too short to be negative. To hold some sort of a resentment or some sort of grudge or a vendetta against someone, I don’t have time for any of that.”

On Jim Cornette saying he can’t be Hardy’s friend after Stadium Stampede 2020: “I always got along great with him and I had a great [deal of] respect for him. Jim Cornette had the audacity to say, ‘Because Matt Hardy and Chris Jericho were involved in the Stadium Stampede match I can no longer be their friends.’ Is this real life? Who says that? Who thinks like that?”

On Cornette contributing to negativity in wrestling: “I understand why people like him; I understand why people are drawn to him. He is like one of those cult leader people … The Cornette Cult is quite the appropriate name for his followers. Jim Cornette has got his schtick to do … he’s not a hot commodity. His whole bit is going in there and hate-watching AEW and saying all the negative things he can to feed all his Cult of Cornette followers … this hatred and this negativity. He can’t evolve, and change, and adapt with pro wrestling.”
