Hardy said, “It just felt completely wrong, it just didn’t feel like the time at all. I almost felt offended, I was very emotional, but almost felt offended, like what?

The high flyer thought if he would have accepted this Hall of Fame induction, his career might have been considered done. He thinks there is much left in the tank for him and we have seen his last few matches in AEW, most notable against Darby Allin.
