VIDEO: Matt Hardy Says TLC Matches Shortened His Career

Matt Hardy recently appeared on The Roman Show, and spoke about the TLC matches shortening his career. Here is what he had to say…

"Whenever human flesh and bone get slammed on steel like ladders or chairs, or tables, all that stuff, TLC's or cages, the flesh isn't going to win. Those matches beat you up and take a toll. It is what it is. Professional wrestling isn't ballet. Those were very tough grueling matches. It definitely took a toll on us. They took time off our career I'm sure and they beat us up for many years down the road. With that said, those are the matches that made us famous.
