Current AEW Star and pro wrestling legend Matt Hardy recently took to an episode of his “Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, where he discussed a variety of topics such as how Private Party would become the centerpoint of the H.F.O. and how the faction would have been so much better if it was just Marq, Isiah and himself.

Matt Hardy said:

“The centerpoint of this story became him (Isiah Kassidy) and (Marq) Quen because they were the people I cared the most about. Butcher and Blade — if it would have just been the three of us in the beginning, if it would have been Matt and Zay and Quen, it would have been a whole lot better than what became the H.F.O. and it expanded and got crazy.”

Matt Hardy also talked about how AEW CEO Tony Khan was hesitant to put him back together with Private Party, but the fans ended up giving them a huge reaction.

Matt Hardy said:

“But then anyway, we got back to this… We started this stuff, once again, off of television and then we got back onto television and I remember Tony (Khan) was half-ass hesitant to put us back together. Remember when we had that big Battle Royal deal? We did the three-way hug. That was in New York. Yeah, we pushed for that and I just remember when I came in, he said, ‘You were right! What a great call! What a great call!’ Because the people popped and it was f*cking midnight.”
