Matt Hardy posted the following on the message board of his website TheMattHardy.com:
“First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for the incredible support that you have shown me in this very hard and difficult time. I have been kicked down before (although probably not this much, in such a short amount of time), but I always find a way to rebound and make my life a better place. Thanks for the outpouring of emotion and letting me know how much you care–I need that now. For all of you who believe in me, cheer for me, and care for me, I am not going away–I will rise above. Thanks and much love…
Matt”
A lot of people saw Rhyno’s release coming, seeing as he did it to himself during WrestleMania weekend, while most of the wrestlers were surprised to hear about Hardy.
There’s been a lot of chatter in the back when it comes to the decision of firing Matt Hardy. Many people feel that the company has crossed the line of privacy, seeing as they used a real-life occurrence to make such a big decision. This definitely doesn’t sit well with many wrestlers in the back. However, management and others feel that Hardy is to blame as well, since he was the one who released (not directly) the news of his break-up with Lita to the media, and WWE hates any of their wrestlers talking to the dirt sheets.
One can’t help but wonder if the Lita/Kane segment on RAW that featured some toncil hokey was the final F-U to Matt Hardy by the company.
