*Spoiler* New use for the net?

Everybody who now thinks the Matt/Lita/Edge thing is a work is an idiot. You think WWE made up all those rumors about Matt working for ROH and perhaps TNA? You think WWE is stupid enough to use the Internet for a storyline? You think Matt Hardy would risk alienating all of his goofy ass fans by pretending to be hurt and depressed on his web site? Seriously, folks, think it through.

WWE released Matt Hardy. They're fucking with the smarks by mentioning Matt Freakin' Hardy and showing his titantron entrance as a tease. They own the video and theme. And they can use his name as long as it's not slanderous. Last night was a big "fuck you" to the Internet community, as if to say, "Yeah, that's for not buying into OUR storylines." WWE fired Matt Hardy because his bitching was threatening to override WWE's storyline plans. WWE had to either alter their plans to fit the Internet stories, or get rid of the problem. They decided against copying what helped to kill WCW and released Matt Hardy instead.

That's the end of it.

Exactly. You hit the nail right on the head. Everybody that believes this whole Matt/Lita/Edge "Springeresque" love triangle is a work should read that post because you summed it up perfectly. Especially about last night being a "big fuck you to the Internet wrestling community". THose are the exact words I thought of after Matt Hardy's music played. I knew that was gonna happen, just a few seconds before his theme played I was sittin' here saying "Whoaaa Yeeah" (the opening line of Hardy's theme) because I knew any minute that music was gonna play. I think it's quite funny that everybody actually thought Hardy would show up. WWE will probably never work a storyline based on Internet "dirt sheets". If this whole thing does turn out to be a work then I'll......wait, no I won't because it's NOT A FUCKING WORK.
