In part three of our interview recap of Paul London talking with no filter following his November 2008 WWE release, London talks about Matt Hardy among other subjects.

The beginning of London's rant on Hardy was brought on by a discussion of the December 2005 Armageddon PPV where London & Kendrick faced William Regal & Dave Taylor, MNM (Mercury & John Morrison a/k/a Johnny Nitro), and the Hardy Boys in an epic ladder match.

London said the match afforded him the opportunity to show a little more creativity, but his mind goes right to Matt Hardy when he thinks about the match.

"All I remember was that I hate Matt Hardy," London said on the False Count radio show. "I think he's a piece of s---. And I was trying to go into that (match) with as much of a professional mindset as possible without trying to murder this person. I think he's a coward."

London recalled a story from his perspective of Hardy telling on him on catering, as if the situation were from a high school cafeteria. "I said a cuss word in catering and he actually raised his hand and told on me," London claimed.

He later back-tracked in the interview to say he doesn't hate anyone, but "that doesn't mean I can't be opinionated or have a complete lack of respect for somebody."

London explained his opinion further: "The thing with Matt is no respect. Just a rotten person. He tries to pull the wool over people's eyes and put himself over online, but he's the definition of a mark for himself. I just don't like the guy. He's done some things to try to sabotage my career, without going into detail, but (he is) the definition of a coward."

London said he thinks his brother Jeff Hardy is a great guy and he has his all-time favorite match in WWE against Hardy on a tour of Mexico. "Jeff and I went out there on the last day (of the tour) and stole the show," he said.

"Jeff's the cool one and Matt's the fat, ugly one who carries a chip on his shoulder because his brother is more popular than him," London claimed.

Going back to the four-team ladder match at Armageddon 2005, London said his tag team victory with Kendrick was overshadowed by Joey Mercury's "face exploding" when a ladder popped him in the eye.

"Brian and I killed each other for the enjoyment of the fans," he lamented. "Unfortunately, Joey's face getting exploded took the wind out of our sails."

London makes his return to wrestling at PWG's show later this month. Asked what fans can expect from the post-WWE London, he said "an uncensored, unrestrained spirit. Fans can look forward to seeing someone who doesn't feel like watching his tongue or holding anything back."

During word association to close the interview, London said John Cena is "hardest-working person in the business" after laughing hard about the trailer for "12 Rounds" where Cena plays a cop.

On Randy Orton, he said he's a "super cool guy" and "probably the most talented guy they have by far."

Conversely, London said the complete opposite about Triple H. "If I had to guess, I would guess that he's not the most honest guy, a bit of a coward, and when I say coward, I mean someone who might secretly set something up, then blame someone else," he said.

And, finally, on Vince McMahon, London slowly repeated: "Darkness. Black. All things negative. Not really in tune with the audience. Someone who has cemented himself in his own ways regardless of whether they're beneficial for business. Fascist."
