During the most recent The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, AEW star Matt Hardy reflected on Vince McMahonâs involvement in The Ultimate Deletion in WWE, and how he wanted to include a fish!
âOne of my favorite suggestions, he said, âI like this lake concept. I like this how it changes a character. Thatâs great sh**, pal. What I could see is Bray gets knocked into the lake and then all of a sudden we have a false finish where he pops out of the lake but heâs got a fish in his mouth and then sinks back down,'â Matt recalled. âAnd they mentioned something about this. They said, âCan we get a fish?â Iâm like, dude, weâre in Cameron, North Carolina. When theyâre telling me this itâs 2 oâclock in the morning. Itâs not like you can just go to a Bait and Tackle store thatâs open 24 hours. I donât think we want to spend time catching a fish out by the Lake of Reincarnation either. He said, âWell if we canât do it, we canât do it, but it would be great.'â
âWhere Jeff did the Swanton off the tree where I was on the ladder in the Final Deletion, I had two tables I was going to set up, put Bray on the bottom one and come off that tree,â Matt said. âI had built a stand on it and everything to go up there and I had already practiced it. I was going to jump off the stand and leg-drop him through the two tables and he was going to move, which was going to put me in jeopardy to kind of go into the heat aspect of the match, and Vince said ânothing else in the ring, no more of this sh**.â I thought that wouldâve been a real cool spot because I wanted to still incorporate the wrestling ring and wrestling spots and TLC sh**. Once they got that call from Vince they said, âOkay, we canât go back to the ring. Vince said he doesnât want any of this wrestling bullsh**, he wants this campy, over the top, this is supposed to be fun, larger than life, absurd to a degree.'â
