WWF Veteran Says He Inspired The Hardy Boyz’ Ring Gear

I ran my own show for charity in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I got some WCW guys, I got some other guys, and I called Vince McMahon himself. Everyone says Vince is impossible…he’s not. I got all the WWE guys I wanted. I do all the promotions to do the show. From Atlanta, Georgia, I flew in for one night only to do a show in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We did $38,000 in ticket sales. To the rafters!

I brought back ‘Dr. Death’, Terry ‘Bam Bam’ Gordy, Michael Hayes, all these people! So, Vince goes, ‘hey, I am going to send down some other people to get some work.’ I go ‘sure.’ Prince Albert with the nose ring comes down, nicest guy in the world. He says ‘E Watts! I have these two kids. Can they come and talk to you?’ I’m like ‘sure’.

So, now I know there is something they want to talk about but I don’t know what the hell it is. So they go to me, ‘sir, we have been taught not to steal moves or steal things. Would there be any way that you would allow us to use your outfits up in WWF?’ Bro, when I say I was laughing so hard. Listen, they’re not Matt and Jeff Hardy yet. They haven’t even blown up yet.

But I’m thinking to myself that I didn’t give a sh*t if they made it. I was just so happy. So, I was like ‘sure you can! I’ve got some more designs!’. So they came out in the shirt and pants. That was all off my character! So I called Page one time and said, ‘ask Bischoff what he thinks of the Hardys’ outfits, motherf***er!’.”

Erik Watts eventually retired from active professional wrestling in 2005 after performing since 1992.
