Matt Hardy Comments on Leaving the WWE, Creative and More

From an interview with Monday Night Mayhem:

Why he felt he needed to break ties with the WWE, his transition over the past two months, & where he feels he's at mentally/physically/emotionally right now:

"It's been nice for me, because I needed to get away. One, my body was just so beat up and so abused. One thing with Jeff was that he took some time off during his run with WWE. I never did. The only time I was out was when I was injured, and during that time, I was doing intense rehab, so I had twelve and a half years straight that I worked everyday. I missed one day during that whole while, and that was when my girlfriend at the time was having neck surgery. Besides that, I never missed a show. I never asked off for a day. I worked hurt, I worked through injuries, and it just came to a point that I felt like between where I was at being utilized on TV, and the injuries catching up with me, and me not being in the top condition I needed to be at that I needed to take time off or get away. I started talking about possibly getting some time off or getting a release, and I eventually did what I had to do to get a break. I'm happy about it, I'm been happier & healthier physically, mentally, & emotionally than I've been in a long, long time. I've really enjoyed just having my own schedule. It's been a blast. I've just been loving life. The last couple of months have been two of the greatest months of my life."...More?

Rumor Mill - Backstage Reaction at Raw to Jeff & Matt Hardy Video

WrestleZone is reporting that the discussion among several Raw and Smackdown wrestlers tonight in Philadelphia was in regards to the Jeff and Matt Hardy video that made the rounds last week, in which Jeff blasted CM Punk and a rather tired looking Matt Hardy was mumbling something about Amy Dumas aka Lita, who has dated both Matt and Punk in the past.

Besides the obvious discussion about the apparent condition of the Hardys in the video, the talk backstage was about how TNA has former heart throb Jeff Hardy as champion, only to have him play supporting player to Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff, while on Raw, Miz is already positioned as a champion, and defended the title tonight in an excellent match against Jerry Lawler, carrying the 61 year old Lawler through a Tables Ladders and Chairs Match, without giving away a match on television people would pay to see the new champion in (Orton, Cena, Kofi, HHH).

The talk was not only about how bad the Hardys came off in the video, but how much better WWE has done with Miz in just one week as champion than TNA has done in turning the hottest wrestling pay per view attraction of 2009 into a heel champion in 2010.

Matt Hardy Tries to Clear the Air

Quotes from Matt Hardy's latest YouTube video post:

"About six or seven weeks ago, I came across a piece of monumental information; information that was so huge that it was the exclamation point. It definitely solidified the fact that I was ready to leave WWE. For 12-18 months prior, that thought had been going through my mind quite a bit."

"There had been times I was thinking, 'I'm not happy; I don't feel right.' Then, once this monumental piece of information came around, I said it's definitely time for me to leave WWE." Hardy claims he went to people in WWE management "six or seven weeks ago" asking for his release, but he says he was denied.

"When that didn't work, I tried the back-up plan. We went overseas. I tried to cause a couple things that would maybe get myself released. Everybody bought it except one person. It was Christian. He actually pulled me aside and was like, 'Hey, Matt, are you trying to get fired?' I was like, 'No, no, not all,'" Hardy said, re-capturing his coy response.

"After going back and forth, we came to an agreement to make everyone happy. It would get me to where I need to be: free. If I want to go to LA tomorrow, I can go to LA tomorrow. Whatever I want to do, I don't want a boss who tells me I can't do this. Sorry, that's me. Maybe it's a flaw. Maybe it's a gift."

"My end of the deal has been upheld. Now, they have to uphold their end. As soon as we do that, something very, very special will happen. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. And I'm pretty sure it will be because I got them right where I want them."

The Latest on Matt Hardy's WWE Status

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Matt Hardy and WWE continue to be at a stalemate where his status is concerned.

WWE, on the one hand, wants Matt Hardy to address the issues he has, but Hardy, on the other hand, does not. Hardy reportedly continues to push for his release from WWE, but the company does not want to grant it so that he doesn't end up going to to work for TNA.

Sources are claiming that Hardy's situation has slipped under the radar as of late due to WWE's current hectic touring schedule. However, his situation is reportedly set to be addressed after this Sunday's Hell in a Cell PPV.

Rumor Mill - Jericho and Hardy Quit WWE

The wrestling world is buzzing with news that Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy have both left WWE.

In storyline terms, Chris promised to leave if he didn't win the WWE Title at yesterday's Night Of Champions PPV.

Not only did he fail in his quest, but the Canadian was eliminated from the main event match within 90 seconds.

The star is now out of contract and it is thought that this exit was planned by WWE, who are aware that he will not be renewing.

Mike Johnson, of PWInsider, reported: "We've just confirmed that last night was Chris Jericho's final scheduled appearance for WWE."

Meanwhile a hugely unhappy Hardy has been dropping heavy hints on Twitter that he's leaving WWE to join brother Jeff in TNA.

Asked by one fan whether they should buy tickets to the WWE's European tour or TNA's January show in Berlin in order to see him, Matt replied: "I'd go with Berlin."

Another enquired when his WWE contract would expire to which Hardy said: "If I have my way, hopefully tomorrow."

Matt Hardy Aiming for a Top Spot...Is He Serious?

Matt Hardy says he's aiming for a top spot in WWE when The Undertaker and Triple H take time off this year. Hardy, who has gained a reputation for doing a lot of talking about wanting to be a main-eventer, told ESPN during WrestleMania weekend that he feels he's ready to seize an opportunity.

"There's going to be some time coming up where guys like The Undertaker and Triple H are going to need to take some time off, and there's going to be opportunities for guys like Matt Hardy and Christian to step up," Hardy told Jon Robinson of ESPN at THQ's annual WWE video game competition. "I'm really motivated and ready to rededicate myself, especially after overcoming such severe injuries."...More?

I'm not sure why Matt Hardy thinks he is in the caliber of The Undertaker or Triple H. A top spot might be available, but surely it isn't for him. He can't equate himself with Christian and keep a straight face. Now that Jeff is gone he should try to stay under the radar if he wants to keep his job. Did I mention I wasn't a Matt Hardy fan?
