From WWE.com homepage...

Matt Hardy and Rhyno have been released. World Wrestling Entertainment wishes them the best in their future endeavors.

Knew about Rhyno, but why Matt?

So he won't shoot on Edge when he comes back.

I would doubt Edge has to worry about Matt kicking his ass.

But as one guy said long ago, the wrestlers who bust their ass for Vince sure do get treated like circus animals in the end for their contributions. I can see why Rhyno was fired, but to me the firings of guys like Matt and Test before him were just dumb, and lacking sense.

Also, I feel some sympathy towards Matt.

To be honest i like Rhyno but im not going to lose sleep over his release.

Matt on the other hand pisses me off. I was really looking forward to seeing him return he had worked his ass off for the company.

Now im getting shit like Chris Masters on my TV.

For Fucks sake.

Before you guys get your hopes about about TNA, there's probably one of those no compete clause deals and it's probably for like 6 months minimum.

But hey, why have natural charisma and talent when you can have a guy with a briefcase running around?

Matt was released because of a technical clause in his contract. Since he is under an undisclosed weight amount, his contract has the "No Hoss Straw Draw" stipulation. This month officials brought the remaining non-hosses together to make another draw. Matt Hardy drew the shortest straw and was released.

04-11-2005, 12:50 PM
Before you guys get your hopes about about TNA, there's probably one of those no compete clause deals and it's probably for like 6 months minimum.

I was thinking the same thing, however giving the situation that happened at the end of Matt's tenure WWE might of just let him go cleanly.

:shifty:

I can hope, right?

Zen v.W.o.
04-11-2005, 12:50 PM
Some are siggesting this was an amicable and mutual split for now. Matt needs time to get his life in order, and that might be difficult working in the same company as those who have betrayed him etc. Take some time off, work elsewhere if need be, and then when you feel like you can come back, and work professionally at the same time, they'll re-sign you.

Perhaps this is the case, but if not, my point above still stands, and I think it's shameful that you get rid of talents, while keeping non-talents, and plenty of it.

Honestly what is with the WWE lately? They release Test when he's recovering from neck surgery, now they release V-1 when he's almost back. Besides that, Edge and Lita have an affair while Matt is recovering, Edge gets a title shot and a push while Matt is released. Good fucking job WWE.

i really hope that this just a mutual temporary thing and that matt will come back when he's cleared his head.

i can imagine that its gonna be pretty tense backstage tonight and that edge will get even more heat as im sure it can be played that its edge's fault that matt's gone. fucking asshole.

if matt has left WWE permanently, i can't imagine it'll be long until he pops up in TNA as we all know Matt loves wrestling entertainment.

Bobcore....well you know what he's like-Vince says that's OK,we will just put him on Velocity.

Masters can't do sh*t-Vince says that's OK,we will just put him on HEaT facing unknown jobbers.

But Rhyno broke a stupid vase-Vince says release him.

And Matt....well I don't know what the hell he did,but I'm guessing they released him,so that he doesn’t fight with Lita and Edge-Vince says that he's released.

Vince: What? Why would you want me to fire your new boyfriend?

Lita: Oh shit...I mean Jeff Hardy.

Vince: Lauren Jones?

Lita: No, The Prince of Punk.

Vince: He's still around? Why him?

Lita: Oh fuck I messed up again. I meant to say Matt Hardy.

Vince: Why Matt?

Lita: Because I don't want him to hurt Edge, I love Edge! We have so much in common...we are both charismatic...uhhh our entrance music both have lyrics...ummmm we both have long hair.

Vince: Well Amy, I'll fire Matt if you do something for me.

That really pisses me off. Matt is one of the best WWE has and they go off and do this to him. Sure I get that they dont want him and Edge to beat the shit out of each other over the whole Lita thing but still. That sucks more than anything right now.

Rhyno getting released is also a bad thing but both of these are good for TNA. They can get Rhyno and make him into the champ he was in ECW.

Then they put Matt and Jeff together again and for the Tag Titles. Seeing the Hardys Vs Americas Most Wanted would be pretty damn good.

I dunno. Let's say any mark fan learns that the Hardy Boyz are the TNA tag team champions, he'll try to watch impact as soon as possible. A reunion of the two should be a ratings boosting for the show.

If Jarrett drops the title, they might end up like WCW and surpass the WWE in ratings. Especially if Rock joins TNA (which is unlikely to happen, though).

Hardy Boyz = Ratings (well at least for the mark fans)

I was just on WWE.com and didn't see it, but if this is true, this is horrible. How could a guy keep sane with all the shit that seems to be happening to him. And if him being released is all over of what has happened with him and Lita, well how the hell do you expect him to handle himself?

He gets put in one of the biggest, yet worst storylines of 2004. He goes out with an injury, and while recovering, his girlfriend cheats on him with one of his good friends, behind his back. And just when he is ready to return, he gets released. This is absoulute BS! :foc:

As much as I like WWE, this has to be one of the worst decisions they are making. They keep people that are crap, and get rid of people that can actually do something. I even got a chance to meet him in late February during a Wrestlemania tour. But I do wish Matt the best of luck in anything he does.

Matt had, and always will have a loyal fan base, that will follow him to any promotion he choses to compete for. It boggles my mind how you can release such talented performers such as Matt Hardy and other, "less talented" performers like Bob Holly, Heidenreich and Chris Masters still have a job.
I also sincerley hope that Matts release does not stem from the incident involving Edge and Lita, as you could have easily placed Matt back on Smackdown, where in my humble opinion, would make a superb United States Champion.
Matt was pretty much my #1 Superstar on Raw, only 2nd to Christian, and I really don't see myself ever tuning into Raw again now, unless I know I will see Christian.

You DO realise that the only reason that the WWE has a website is so they can track you down and sic Brock Lesnar--Smark hunter on you.

I just HAD to do it...

With all this free-agent talent floating around its time for TPWW to start its own company. I'll go set up a PayPal account and you people can start donating ASAP.
I like the sound of that. Can I be a commentator? I have a speech impediment, and I still don't screw up as often as JR.

The early word I am getting on Matt Hardy's release is that the major reason he was let go is due to how he handled the situation with Lita and Edge, which of course he went very public with on his website.

-- Dave Scherer @ PWInsider


Posted on Matt Hardy's webforums....if that's true then i just lost what little respect i had for WWE.

Actually that's not surprising. This is probably something that could've been handled "in-house." Maybe they punish Edge. Maybe they just move Matt to SD! But with him going on-line, and the fact that enough fans are aware of what happened that you're actually getting 'HARDY' chants on Raw, you can't just sweep it under the rug. I understand Matt was upset, but he didn't really have to share it with his fans or post it on his site. He should've just beat Edge's ass and told people that he & Lite broke up.

Matt fans probably won't want to hear it, but airing your dirty laundry was a bad move on his part. It was like when Kobe Bryant went to the press and told them that Karl Malone had hit on his wife. Sure, it happened, but why would you let the public know that? There's no need.

Shoulda kept it in house.

Yeah... like releasing the guy really isn't sweeping it under the rug. If anything the chants are going to get louder now.

Out of sight, out of mind. If this were someone bigger, I could see it being an issue. Live audiences are mainly mainstream fans. And most mainstream fans will forget about Matt/Lita soon enough. This isn't Bret Hart in Montreal. This is a guy with a dedicated fanbase who was never even given that much of a push by the WWE.

I think Matt's a talneted guy, but he should've knownw better. In any case like this, the WWE's MO is pretty much 'duck and cover.' And in three months, the only people talking about him will be those fans that actually visit message boards.

Ok let me get this straight....

The internet smark community are a community that Vince passes off as a small percentage of there audience and generally doesn't acknowledge

Yet when a wrestler addresses this so called small community that only the smarks and hardcore Matt Hardy fans would know about, he gets fired?

Fucking Hypocrits!

Nevermind him, WWE loses another great talent Matt but this was bound to happen. Hell, one guy gets fired for throwing pottery and another for talking crap online. What next? Jaywalking? Pu-freakin' lease!

Matt, Rhyno, much success to you in TNA or whereever. And for right now, WWE, :foc:

BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I'm sorry, but this is fucking bullshit.

I usually have a light heart when it comes to releases, but to a guy who was working his ass off to get back in WWE, and they go and release him because his bitch girlfriend sucked off Edge?

Fuck them!

I hope to God this eats away at both Lita and Edge.

The reason Matt's been fired is a little hypocritical. When Austin left around WMX8 the WWE took every opportunity they could on tv, their website and their magazine to say "Austin took his ball and went home" and other such things. Granted, Austin was in the wrong, but it shows you just how vindictive the WWE is.

They are like a crazy, jealous ex-girlfriend.

You know it is very possible the Matt asked for a release so he doesn't have to deal with Lita and Edge.

In all fairness though, if Matt Hardy did stick around in the WWE, they would have probably left him on either Heat or Velocity as some sort of punishment. Although I was well surprised when I heard about this in a pub, at least it gives Matt a chance to get his head together.

Making yourself unemployed with only 1<sup>1</sup>/<sub>2</sub> top American feds isn't a good idea in any circumstance, so until I see it on THEMattHardy.com, I won't think that.

I am guessing that this is a mutal parting. I do not think the WWE, in their infinite stupidity, could ever pull off something like this on their own.

Then again, they have released Test while he was half way through recovering from a broken neck.

The best wishes to Matt. I hope he does well in whatever he decides to do.

I am especially hoping to see the return of the O.M.E.G.A. promotion.

I'll miss Matt.

When I first got back into wrestling (after an 8 year hiatus), its was the hardy boys who really blew me away in the ring (together with kurt angle and Chris Benoit).

I think the WWE are fuckers for the way they treat their wrestlers.

Probably next thing, edge will break his neck *crosses fingers*

Is everyone really that surprised? I mean when I first heard about the whole affair the first words out of my mouth were "Well there goes Matt now :( ". It's the same thing that happened to Chyna except she had no chance in hell of being able to get around it. It's all really sad though but Edge and Lita will get what's coming to them in the end because karma always comes back on you, always. And Vince will die a slow agonizing death when the greed consumes him to a point of no return.
