Pro Wrestler Matt Hardy In Trouble

Matt Hardy was in a recent car accident done to him being wasted. At first they thought he was drunk then found out he was on drugs instead and now he has other charges against him:

Along with this, he has been fired from TNA. Coupled with him burning his bridges with WWE, doen't look like he has much a wrestling career left. Origionally Jeff was the screwed up one and Matt the responsible brother but now it seems both of them have run off the cliff.

Celebrities wrecking themselves through substance abuse is not new, but when your brother (somone who is also a close friend) is a wreck, you think you'd know better.

Sad, very sad indeed.

Wow thats really shocking.. reallly. Like you said he was suppose to be the more responsible one. Wierd....

both of the Hardys are in trouble....sad to see it

I didn't think it was a big deal when I seen the Hardys do a youtube video from a fastfood joint when they were drunk, ripping on CM Punk. Maybe that was last year?

Now it seems, they both have abuse problems. Sad.
It's just what the haters want to see, since they were the highflying pretty boys that all the girls liked.

Matt was always seen as the better wrestler of the two while Jeff was just looked at as just a spot monkey.

Seems like the brothers have switched roles according to their mutual best friend Shane Helms (The Hurricane) in a recent interview:

Quote :

If he has spoken with Matt since his recent arrest and how he is doing:

Matt is going through a time right now. I can't get down there and I can't move as much. I wish I was there to talk to him in person so I could get a better gauge of what's going on. I worry about Matt … a lot. It's kind of flipped because Jeff is now … Jeff has everything together now. He's really a good father, a really great person . And now it just seems like the shoe is on the other foot and Matt is having his difficulties. I'm not even sure what they are. I have an idea but that's not for me to say. He's my friend so it's probably something that, honestly, I wouldn't say anything. But I do worry about him as I would worry about any friend or loved one.

Now there is another problem:

Disturbing video posted by Matt Hardy:



If this is a publicity stunt, then it's discpicable and unforgivable. If not then I hope someone is trying to find Matt or we may have another wrestling tragedy coming our way.

Youtube deleted it, but I seen it. 35 seconds long, and some think was a suicide message.

Either a hoax or someone hacked into his twitter account:

Matt makes a statement:

http://m.wrestlezone.com/news/241366-matt-hardy-makes-a-statement-on-qsuicideq-video-a-life

Sure, he had no idea this would upset people. What a douche! Of course if I ever said this to him, he'd brag about being better than me and having more money than I ever will (as he has done to others who have critisized him). I like wrestling reporter/critic Justin LaBar's view of Hardy:

http://m.wrestlezone.com/editorials/241061-charlie-sheen-gmatt-hardy-sd-going-live-every-week-wwe-announcers

I hope it all works out for him and he gets what ever help he needs - but man does Matt Hardy seemingly combine everything I hate about wrestling these days along with everything I loathe about the internet/fame.

I saw the video on YT, with the comments from his brother's wife saying it was a joke. I don't know the guy at all (not a wrestling fan), but man, to post that video was just amazingly dumb.

So my new motto is:

Ignore anybody name "Hardy" in wrestling circles. If everyone took this approach, these morons would go away.

If you can't control your addictions then don't bother cluttering up a wrestling program.

This is priceless. Hardy got arrested for DUI again but this time it's a conspiracy:

http://m.wrestlezone.com/news/242050-matt-hardy-claims-he-was-framed-in-latest-dwi-arrest

This guy's ego is as big as his problems. Framing celebrities for crimes is reserved for REAL celebrities, not washed up pro-wrestlers who have long since used up their talent.

Its a shame that their credibility just got shot seems to me that Matt Hardy went downhill after him and Amy Dumas (Lita) split as a couple.

I used to like the Hardy Boyz as a tag team I hope both him and his brother get their problems sorted out

I'm kinda left to wonder why friends or family haven't done an intervention of some kind. Unfortunately without help there is no way this ends well - not to mention the safety threat he's posing by driving around under the influence.

Radio host, wrestling critic and former WCW color commentator Mark Madden believes that it's the people who surround Matt are enablers. His girlfriend excuses his behavior, Jeff has his own problems, and Gregory "The Hurricane" Helms also has a DUI history (and he also makes excuses for Matt). Someone who has problems who also hangs around others with problems is almost doomed to stay in trouble.

Remember the good old days when Matt was the sane brother?

Not only that but:

As that old saying goes, "a man is judged by the company he keeps".

Hardy's journey to recovery has been set back:

Do we have another Scott Hall on our hands?

Its sad cuz I always thought he was the more level headed of the Hardy Boyz but it seems Jeff is in better shape than he is right now.

Might be doing some time

I wish Scott Hall was in better shape he would be a big draw I think if he came back to the WWE and got in this Nash Vs HHH angle.....

But I dont think we will see Hall in any Wrestling promo anytime soon.... Id rather he get his health straight and do the familia thing

Especially since the last time I saw Hall was on an ESPN special a couple weeks ago. He was advertised for a tiny, indy show and he had to be helped to the ring. I forget who he was supposed to wrestle but the guy instantly went for the cover.

EDIT: Found it. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=7124904

Id love to see that special I had heard about it but missed it
