Whose Side Are You On, Anyway? #2: Edge/Matt Hardy
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? DECIDE Narcissus spite tour of 2020. I have kids.

Also, if you find other videos that you feel should be seen by the voters, feel free to post them.

I still feel this was mainly a work.
Lita was/is a well known whore. Why Matt would go batshit over her fucking someone else is beyond me. |

Meh, Edge is an asshole for the whole thing. Matt came off like an immature asshole in the videos he did. I vote neutral because they canceled each other out and were both wrong.
Like, there's no way to be on Edge's side in this, he fucked over his best friend. I'd really like to be on Matt's side but he made himself out to be an ass also. So yeah, neutral. |

Yeah, I agree with the HBMan. I would have sided with Matt if not for his whole internet whining thing.

Well, he was supposedly released cause "creative had nothing for him", not for this incident. Would he have even gotten his job back if he hadn't stirred up a shitstorm on the internet?

Eventually. WWE would have lost something big if TNA got a hold of both Matt and Jeff and did their feud.

Maybe, but TNA has Angle and Foley right now and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference so far.

The TNA arena could be built over top of an oil field on top of a T-Rex's bones on top of Jimmy Hoffa's remains and it wouldn't make a fucking difference.

I decided when I made this series that I would always vote neutral as to not to sway the voting but if I had a vote, I'd vote for Mate here. Sure, he overreacted but alot of people would've acted just a crazy in the same situation. Relationships are touchy. Not only did this affect his relationship with his girlfriend of 6 years, but it affected his relationship with his long time friend. I commend him for not killing somebody.

Hey Now, it's my first post...
It made a great storyline and the fact of the matter is that this happens in "real life" every day, the only difference is that this was on tv... |

I vote for Edge. Was he a dick? yes. Lita was a slut, Matt's a pussy. He shouldn't have done it, but Matt totally pussied out and went the teenage bitch route with the internet smear campaign.
I suddenly feel like watching Team America

I'm Neutral.
It made Edge the biggest heel in the business. Matt, until the recent heel turn, was one of the most sympathetic faces for years as a result. |

BTW, while this is a hot topic. Gonna let you know ahead of time so you can prepare. The Montreal Screwjob will be the issue discussed on installment #5 of Whose Side. Don't say I did not warn you.
Also, anyone have an interview from Jeff around this time? Last edited by Nark Order; 03-07-2009 at 04:29 PM. |

I go with Matt. I hand it to the guy for being honest. He was on the loosing end of a screwed up situation, And he didn't hide it. He let people know how he felt, and how much it hurt him. Some people say he acted immaturely, but I can see and feel a lot of real pain in what he went through. You can tell he really loved Lita, and she broke his heart. But instead of letting her get away with it, he spoke up. He stood up for himself, and for that my vote goes to Matt.
Not to mention it made for compelling wrestling. This was the most personal feud in WWE sense Shawn v. Bret. And it dealt with something that I'm sure a lot of us out there have gone through. Remember how huge Edge use to be? How big of a face he was. This situation was the birth of the "Ultimate Opportunist" Edge character. Taking advantage of the void left by Matt to take his girlfriend. I'm not saying it's cool, far from it. But in the bigger picture of things they turned a negative into a positive and it made both men bigger stars. P.S. Dose anyone remember the part where Matt showed up at titan towers and punched Edge? Was that a work or true? I'm pretty sure that is when WWE "released" him. Last edited by SIDRA; 03-07-2009 at 04:52 PM. |

I forgot about the Titan Towers thing, actually. I still only vaguely remember hearing about something like this. I think it was a work but I need a confirmation.

Neutral. Matt should have known Lita was a slut, Matt handled it immaturely, Edge was wrong for banging his friend's chick.

When you're in love and that person does you wrong, especially with one of your closest friends, you do crazy things. Matt posting about it on his myspace is pretty low on the list of things enraged lovers do (murder by rabid cannibals being on the other end of the spectrum), and I don't think that says anything bad about Matt. It merely shows that he's human.
Edge, on the other hand, stabbed his friend in the back and built his career off of it. Pretty easy decision if you ask me. |

Everyone keeps saying that Lita was a known slut, is this really true? Was she known for getting around or is this just a rumor?

18. El Dandy's banged both Lita AND Fishman & Lola Gonzales's hot daughter.
46. Lita has been pissed on by Steve Corino and Danny Doring. 72. Lita took off for Mexico in the 90s and bang anyone down there that would "train" her in the ring. |

Gotta side with Matt Hardy on this one.
As awesome as Edge is, he shagged his mates missus, you just shouldn't do that. Unless your mate gives you permission.

I think the real question to be asked his is Matt vs Lita.
However, you never, EVER sleep with another man's woman, especially if that man is supposed to be your friend. |
