In the latest episode of “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, Matt Hardy shared his thoughts on buzzing talks about Mike Bailey’s potential shift from TNA Wrestling to AEW.
Here are some engaging segments from the podcast:
Discussing Mike Bailey’s rumored departure from TNA to AEW, Hardy said, “I firmly believe that he is a perfect fit for AEW, particularly considering their distinct style and the type of bouts they prefer to showcase on their network. Bailey is going to excel out there. I have nothing but admiration for Mike Bailey. Collaborating with him has been an enjoyable experience. He has a solid understanding of old-school wrestling and its narrative nuances far more than I initially anticipated, given his reputation for spectacular and interesting maneuvers. Beyond being an outstanding athlete, he also possesses a brilliant mind. His strategic input during our team-up with Trent Seven for a brief plot arc was highly commendable. He has an incredible knack for positioning everyone’s roles effectively, it seemed like. I am a huge fan of Mike Bailey, and I think he’s filled with immense potential and is genuinely a wonderful human being.”
Talking about Bailey’s possible future in WWE, Hardy mentioned, “It would have been spectacular to see Mike given a chance at NXT too. His unique skill set would have shone on that particular platform, especially considering his work ethic. My only apprehension for him in AEW is that there are plenty of wrestlers who possess stunning styles and demonstrate extremely high work rates. I’m just worried that he won’t get the recognition he deserves amidst everyone else at AEW. I earnestly hope they permit him to distinguish himself in the unique way that ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey can truly do.”
