On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Matt Hardy discussed creating the “Broken” gimmick and the mentality behind the development of the character.
Hardy said, “The guys are so athletic and so talented now and they’re smaller, and I can’t wrestle like I did 20 years ago, 25 years ago. So I said, ‘What if I try to be more theatrical and more performative?’ I did think of, like, a throwback to the Papa Shango, Undertaker stuff when he first started. I said, ‘Either people will buy in that I am this supernatural character because something has happened, my brain has opened up,’ or they’ll think I’m crazy. Either way, I’ll make it work.”
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry expressed his support for Rhea Ripley beating Liv Morgan at WWE Bad Blood 2024.
Henry said, “If she wins, I’m gonna be happy because that means that the story is not over and Dom and Liv are going to keep on trying to do her dirty and we get more of that saga. So, yeah, I’m actually praying that Rhea wins.”
Ripley will challenge Morgan for the Women’s World Title at WWE Bad Blood 2024 on Saturday, October 5, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
