Talking on the show with Jon Alba, Hardy stated, “I just really think Vince never saw Tag Team like a main event draw. He just didn’t. The tag teams were disposable, you know. I mean, he knew we were killing it as far as doing the merch. The royalties we were making were out of this world. But I still think he kind of felt like we were all Teflon, and it didn’t hurt us to get beat.”

“You know, even though I feel like to maintain credibility. You do need to pick up wins, especially in key situations. But just tag team wrestling has never been Vince’s thing.”
