"Impact, I had a great conversation with them the other day in Toronto and there's some great matches I could have there... There's a lot of matches in Japan that I would still like to have. Is Tony Khan opening his own company? I've heard nothing that says he's not, and of course, WWE is WWE and I have a 20-year history there. I could walk in the door tomorrow and know exactly what to do to get a reaction. I'll tell you one thing: there won't be a list. It's done. I don't feel it anymore."

The one time WWE Tag Team champion last competed for the American giant in 1988, but also made himself a true great with his work in Japan, and of course inspired many hat have come since, most famously, perhaps, Chris Benoit, who modeled himself closely, on Dynamite. He of course also showcased British wrestling to the best of his ability all around the world, to great success. His death came on his 60th birthday.

Hardy not done yet:

Matt Hardy says he still has ideas for his wrestling career

"No, it's not over. I took time off to heal some nagging injuries and I'll be back sooner rather than later. So, I've been doing this twenty-six years. I was just a little beat up. I was given a little time off. From when I've been back, for over a year and half, I was full time. I did everything. Jeff was off with the surgery, so just had a little bit of time off. I think Bray needed a little time off. He'd had a car accident. So, I think it was just a little bit of time off for everyone. So, I think you'll see an evolution of Bray Wyatt and an evolution of Matt Hardy."
