Matt Hardy backs TNA President Carlos Silva despite recent criticism.
During his recent appearance on the Ariel Helwani Show, Matt Hardy offered high praise for Carlos Silva. He described the TNA President as a smart and savvy businessman who quickly adapted despite not coming from a pro wrestling background.
Matt Hardy also admitted that Carlos Silva didn’t get “the best feedback” from fans and wrestling personalities for pulling TNA talent from their matches against wrestlers from other promotions, especially AEW. However, he did note that Silva is learning the ways of the business, relying on experienced staff while prioritizing financial results.
“Carlos is a very, very smart and savvy business guy. He is not from the wrestling world, and I think he’s really been thrown into it. He’s got a crazy fast introduction to the carny world of pro wrestling in some ways,” Matt Hardy began.
Matt Hardy says Carlos Silva has made TNA profitable
“There’s some things that have just happened that he has ended up in where he didn’t get the best feedback from it, obviously,” Matt Hardy continued. “But he’s learning every step of the way, and it’s great because there are times where he’ll even come over to me like, ‘Hey, Matt, this guy was thinking about doing this. Do you think that fits? Is that appropriate? Does it work like it, especially in the context of pro wrestling, whatever else?’
“And I think he’s always willing to lean on guys that he feels confident that kind of know what is going on and that have been around the business for a while. But his job as a business guy is to make the company profitable, and he has done that. He has made the company where we are making money, and it’s being profitable, and it’s growing,” Matt Hardy said.
