If you are relying on Matt Hardy to drum up interest, you might want to change your strategy. Dude is considered box office poison. Don't underestimate Hardy fan girls.

Matt Hardy is automatically the biggest name they've had associated with the promotion - the idea that having him around is detrimental displays a fatally flawed understanding of how the entertainment industry works.

If someone's negatives outweighs the positives of using them, you lose the potential gains you hoping to achieve. Right now, Matt Hardy is at Lindsey Lohan levels. Still is a household name but has a negative stigma attached.

Still is a household name but has a negative stigma attached. Who except the hardcore internet wrestling fans even know about Matt Hardy's problems? SHINE is trying to use him to draw in more casual fans to buy tickets to the card and existing IWC fans to buy the IPPV. Hardy is money I don't know why he gets hate.

Still is a household name but has a negative stigma attached. Who except the hardcore internet wrestling fans even know about Matt Hardy's problems? Anyone who has typed his name into Google or followed him on Twitter as he faked his suicide. Wrestling is pretty niche. Chances are if you've heard about something like SHINE, you're probably at least somewhat aware of Matt and his baggage. Anyone with free time who knows how to use Google is basically a "hardcore internet wrestling fan" at this point.

Not sure there's a guarantee that Hardy will be involved in further SHINE shows, though they will have to do something with Reby being annoyed that he threw the towel in, and Hardy having to explain why he did it. It put over Jessicka Havok, which is the real important thing here.

If you are relying on Matt Hardy to drum up interest, you might want to change your strategy. Dude is considered box office poison. Don't underestimate Hardy fan girls. Pretty much. I heard that while the majority of ROH fans were crapping all over him, there was a solid block of screaming fan girls who bought tickets just to see him. Hardy will always draw in one form or another, even when you check his YT vids there are still crazy pressed fans who ask him why he isn't in WWE/write about how much they love him, and the guy's last great swansong was in 2007. Sky's big selling point is her ability to bring in Hardy, who has a fan following. That's why she gets booked on shows. Didn't she get dropped from an appearance recently BECAUSE Matt canceled? So the promotion decided not to pay/book her since he wouldn't be there? He's rightfully her foot in the door because he still brings in some money. No one is saying he is a Jeff Hardy level draw or anything. (As funny as that is to say because they are brothers.)
