HBK on today’s top in-ring performers, Cardona wants to work NXT as part of the TNA partnership

– During recent interview with Good Karma Wrestling, WWE hall of fame Shawn Michaels was asked to name the wrestlers he believes are the top in-ring performers in the world today.

I think Seth is a fantastic performer. That’s me off the top of my head picking one. He’s a guy that has unbelievable talent,” Michaels said. “AJ Styles is still a guy that I think is fantastic as well. The more I sit here and think about it, there are probably other guys that would come up, but I will say right now, for me, for my kind of style and what I enjoy out of matches, AJ and Seth are rocking pretty good.

– Matt Cardona wants to be in the mix with the ongoing WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling crossovers.

During a recent interview on the Sports Guys Talk Wrestling program, “The Indy God” addressed his return to TNA Wrestling following several months on the sidelines due to injury.

“There’s no good time to get injured, but that was certainly not a good time. I had just come back to TNA, I was just celebrating so to speak my four years of being released from WWE,” Cardona said. “Put out a video that got over a million views, but then I had to announce, oh, that video was great. Thanks for watching, by the way, I’m hurt and am gonna be out six to eight months. I busted my ass and I’m coming back in four months. My return match is next Sunday for GCW. Yeah, the doctor said six to eight months, I did it in four because I’m hustling. I love the hustle, I love the grind.”

Additionally, Cardona spoke about wanting to be among the TNA Wrestling talents that have been crossing over back-and-forth on WWE NXT television, such as Joe Hendry and Jordynne Grace, just to name a few.

“I have so much more I want to accomplish,” he said. “I see that TNA is absolutely killing it with NXT, I wanna be a part of that. I want to get back in TNA, especially when Steph De Lander, my partner, my property, is marrying PCO behind my back. I gotta go and see what’s up over there.”
