Ricky Morton: A Wrestling Legend Respected by Matt Cardona and Dax Harwood

Few professional wrestling legends continue to wrestle at a high level, but Ricky Morton is an exception. The WWE Hall of Famer remains a dominant force in the industry, gaining admiration from younger wrestlers like Matt Cardona and Dax Harwood.

Recently, Matt Cardona took to social media to share his thoughts on Ricky Morton, revealing that the veteran is even cooler than he ever imagined.

Matt Cardona’s Interaction with Ricky Morton

At a Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) event, Matt Cardona had the chance to interact with the legendary Ricky Morton. The encounter left such a strong impression that Cardona took to Twitter to praise the Hall of Famer:

“There are definitely some wrestlers that I wish I never met… BUT… There are wrestlers who are WAY cooler than I could have ever imagined. @RealRickyMorton is one of those wrestlers. He’s not just an old timer… he’s a hall of famer who changed with the times and is always looking to give back to the business.”

This statement highlights how Ricky Morton continues to evolve with the wrestling industry while mentoring younger talents and staying relevant in a constantly changing sport.

Dax Harwood Calls Ricky Morton the Ultimate Babyface

Another respected name in wrestling, Dax Harwood, also had high praise for Ricky Morton. During an exclusive interview with WrestleZone’s Bill Pritchard, Harwood called Morton the best babyface in wrestling history.

“Ricky, to me, is the personification of a babyface. Because he was five foot ten, a 200-pound guy. Very undersized, didn’t have a great body, but people believed in him.”

Harwood explained that Morton didn’t rely on flashy high spots but rather on perfect timing, storytelling, and realistic selling to captivate the audience.

“He was the greatest seller. There were times when you couldn’t tell if it was real or if he was working. He knew when to throw a right punch, when to go down, and when to fight back. That’s what made people believe in him.”

Ricky Morton’s Lasting Influence on Wrestling

Both Matt Cardona and Dax Harwood agree that Ricky Morton’s wrestling style and psychology are a lost art in modern wrestling. His ability to connect with the audience, his perfect timing, and his commitment to the craft have made him one of the most respected wrestlers of all time.

At a time when many WWE Hall of Famers fade into the background, Morton remains active, relevant, and influential, proving that true wrestling legends never stop giving back to the business.
