The whole story, as in the Observer:
'Hardy has some heat on him in the Smackdown locker room. It mainly stems from Survivor Series. In the closing scene where the Smackdown guys were celebrating and Undertaker came in and cleaned house, Hardy was supposed to take a choke slam from Taker. Apparently Hardy told whichever agent that was giving him the word that he was just starting to gain a little momentum and thought this would slow it down. Naturally this got back to Taker. In catering, I believe in Cinncinnati, they were showing the Raw Vs. Smackdown match back again. When Undertaker's run-in was shown, Undertaker told whoever had the controls to rewind the tape. He pointed out that when he came in and was cleaning house, how Hardy just rolled out of the ring and then started browbeating him, calling him a mark for rolling out. Hardy said that they perhaps could have made an angle out if it in some way, but Taker basically said he wouldn't work with him. He told Hardy to reverse positions, and if he was a veteran on top and some young guy pulled that, how would he feel. He asked Hardy what kind of message did he just send to the locker room, "Are you better than anybody else?" Hardy was said to have had his head down and just took it. This may have explained why Hardy was buried by Orton, who never even acknowledged later in the show in his long promo, and then had 8:00 edited off the match.'
There ya have it kids.
