Matt Hardy is speaking out after a TikTok user posted a video of him and his brother Jeff looking exhausted at the airport.
The Hardy Boyz, known for their high-energy performances in the ring, were captured on camera after an exhausting 28-hour stretch that left them wiped out.
In a Twitter post, Hardy called out the TikTok user, Just learned someone called @thecarolinacockroach from Tik Tok posted these videos of Jeff & I arriving back at Raleigh following a redeye connection flight from L.A. At this point in time, wed been awake for 28 hours straight, consisting of working out, being at the venue at noon, wrestling a hard 26 min match, standing & signing autographs for 3 hours, rushing to the airport & taking 2 overnight flights to get back home. For any Tik Tok users, what exactly does @thecarolinacockroach post & why?
Hardys frustration stems from a growing concern among wrestlers and fans alike about the pressures placed on talent in public spaces. The Hardy Boyz, after such a grueling schedule, were simply looking to get home, but their downtime was caught on camera without their consent. It raises a larger question about boundaries and the respect fans should have for performers when theyre not in the ring.
This follows similar incidents in recent years, like when Rey Mysterio refused to sign autographs for a fan he suspected was planning to sell them. Mysterios stance, although criticized by the fan, was praised by others, including fellow wrestlers, who understood the need for boundaries.
Matt Hardys recent comments serve as a reminder of the importance of respecting wrestlers personal time, even when theyre out of character. Hes made it clear that while he appreciates the love from fans, theres a line that shouldnt be crossed, especially when theyre physically and mentally drained.
