“I saw the Boneyard Match,” Matt Hardy told Chris Van Vliet. “I thought it was great. It was done really well.  I think it was one of the smartest usages of Taker they had in a long time.

“Bray and I are buddies so I watched the Funhouse Match.  I thought it was super interesting.  For me, considering the way my mind thinks, I thought it was very cool.  I could see how some die-hard wrestling fans could get lost in that as well.

“I thought the bar fight my brother did with Sheamus was awesome, I think wrestling fans should be very appreciative that they are getting these matches like this because we are doing all this during a pandemic era in front of no fans.  It’s very hard on us as performers to go out there and work in front of no crowd.”

Archie is a WWE and UFC Editor/Author at the SportsRush. Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
