Hardy said, โ€œYeah, I hear that so much still to this day, โ€˜In โ€™09, man, when CM Punk made you retire? Man, oh, my God, I cried.โ€™ I hear that so much still to this day. So yeah, I just said that as a joke one day, and I saw that [Punkโ€™s response]. My wife showed it to me first. I saw it through Matt, and yeah, I mean, Iโ€™d like to fly, but thatโ€™s not gonna happen.โ€
