Former WWE superstar Tommy Dreamer was recently interviewed by Wrestling Inc. Dreamer was asked about his thoughts on Matt Hardy’s “Broken” gimmick coming to WWE and if it could work. In case you missed it, it looks like Matt’s dispute with Impact Wrestling over ownership of the gimmick is over.

Here’s what Dreamer had to say on if ‘Broken’ Matt will work in WWE.
“You think about one year ago, Matt Hardy was probably the hottest wrestler out there He was probably the last good thing to watch on TNA, and I’m not saying that as a slight to TNA, but he was unique, he was different, he was a character. How he tweeted, how he did everything was in full ‘Deletion’ mode and I used Matt all the time.
We had an unwritten contract of, ‘Hey I have shows, you’re booked on them unless someone’s gonna pay you more money.’ Matt was, just like me, killing it all over wrestling every weekend on the indies. But he was the hottest character, and if they give him that freedom and let him be him with that, he’ll become one of the hottest stars they have again”
Dreamer also says that Matt & Jeff Hardy still have a lot more to offer than just being a nostalgia act:
“When Matt and Jeff came back, it was awesome, I love Matt and Jeff. You can’t look at them how WWE is viewing them as a retro act, and yes they were hot and they’re ladder match was awesome, [but] you can’t [say], ‘Oh they’re here to get the younger guys over.’ They still have a lot of gas left in the tank as performers… I could just see WWE profiting from merchandise and ‘Delete’ signs, you name it. They give him the ball and Matt will deliver it.”
