Matt Hardy wants TNA to focus on storytelling

Matt Hardy has been one of the backbones of TNA Wrestling for the past few years. He and Jeff Hardy are also the current World Tag Team Champions. Therefore, he has an opinion on what the company should be focused on moving forward.

During an episode of Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the former WWE star said that he wants the company to focus on storytelling instead of five-star matches.

"And one thing I can say, I'll say this off the top. I want us to focus on story more than f**king five star matches because that's f**king way too overdone now. I mean in AEW they can have all those but like the type of audience we are looking for are people that are getting compelled by the storytelling and the characters. That is something I want to focus on. I'll say that blatantly right up front."
