Matt Hardy participated in a Reddit Ask Me Anything this afternoon. You can check out some of the highlights below:

If he ever wrestles with things in his cargo pants, and how handy they are:

"HA! You are absolutely right, they are handy to wear backstage. Great observation! I always put my hair-tie in my right pocket of my pants before wrestling–that's a strict ritual of mine. I was one time about to make a coffee & had my match bumped up to be earlier. After taking a superplex, there was packets of Sweet N Low in the ring that I'd never taken out to put in my coffee."

Toughest ladder match:

"My toughest Ladder Match was the one vs E & C that happened the first night WWE was on TNN. All 4 of us (Me, Jeff, Adam & Jay) were all terribly hurting & physically spent from the Cage Match the night before at Unforgiven. We weren't supposed to wrestle AT ALL that night, yet ended up in a brutal, long Ladder Match that day. I remember none of us were overly happy with our performance that night–we just weren't physically able to produce the kind of performance that we wanted to that evening."

If he was worried about suplexing Ric Flair off a ladder:

"No, I was fully confident on my end. Ric told me I was the only one in the match that he trusted to give him the superplex off the ladder. That was one of the greatest compliments that I've ever gotten professionally."

If he'll be back in Kingdom or ROH:

"If it was up to me, YES. TNA is totally cool with me working for ROH. However, it's up to Sinclair & Joe Koff, so tell them you want me back with The Kingdom.. I love all those guys–As wrestlers & human beings."
