Whose Side Are You On, Anyway? #2: Edge/Matt Hardy

**Nark Order** · 03-07-2009, 03:10 PM

So here are the results from last week, regarding the Michaels vs Hogan controversy in 2005:

Results: 81.13% of you thought Michaels was in the right while only 16.98% said that Hogan was in the right. I was the only one that voted neutral.

This Week: This week we also go back to 2005 to discuss one of the biggest wrestling controversies in the past 10 years. Yes, that is correct. Edge vs Matt Hardy over the love of the human botch machine, Lita.

The Scenario: While Matt Hardy was on extended leave for knee surgery, rumors started to surface around the locker room and eventually on the internet questioning the integrity of Matt Hardy's long time girlfriend Amy Dumas (Lita). Matt found out the hard way that the rumors were indeed true and that Lita had been hooking up with Matt's long time friend, Adam Copeland (Edge) after Hardy found a text message from Copeland on Lita's phone. Matt quickly sought out to embarrass both of the parties involved by spilling the story onto the internet in full detail. Soon after the stories surfaced on his website, Matt Hardy was released from the WWE on April 11th 2005. On WWE television, Edge and Lita were paired up together. While on of this was happening, Matt made a strong case on the internet for his re-employment that led to fans chanting "We Want Matt" every time Edge was on television. Hardy was eventually re-employed by World Wrestling Entertainment and put into a program with Edge and Lita.

Here is some related footage:

Things to Consider:
-The videos shown are more than a little biased, as I cannot find Edge acting like a jackass about it (maybe he didn't act like one though in the public eye, dunno.)
-Amy and Matt were together for 6 years before this incident.
-At this time, Edge was married.
-Matt and Adam had been very good friends for years before this incident.
-Matt resents Adam for the affair while Adam resents Matt mostly for making it all a public affair.
-Many feel that Matt acted very immaturely about the situation, but also feel that he wouldn't have gotten his job back with a high profile fued if he hadn't acted the way that he did.
-The affair lasted for weeks without Matt Hardy finding out.
-Both men acted very professionally towards each other in the matches that they had following the incident.

Whose side are YOU on?:
Was Adam Copeland's actions deserving of what he got?
Did Matt Hardy take it too far when he made it all public knowledge?
