    <title>Matt Hardy Has Emergency Surgery Tonight</title>
    <published>2007-11-21T15:57:59Z</published>
    <updated>2007-11-21T15:57:59Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Matt Hardy underwent an emergency appendectomy in a Tampa, Fla. hospital tonight. He was scheduled to appear at tonight's SmackDown taping, but this suddenly came up. Hardy's expected to be out of action for one to three months. Hardy didn't appear at the tapings, so this health issue surfaced earlier in the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is WWE.com's official announcement regarding his appendectomy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matt Hardy undergoes surgery&lt;br /&gt;Written: November 21, 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TAMPA, Fla. – SmackDown Superstar Matt Hardy underwent an emergency appendectomy at a Tampa area hospital tonight. Doctors expect the surgery to keep Hardy out of action anywhere from 1-3 months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An appendectomy by definition is the removal of the appendix from the lower right area of the abdomen. Oftentimes, if the surgery is not performed immediately, severe consequences can follow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hardy’s emergency surgery comes less than a week after suffering a knee injury at the hands of his former partner, the United States Champion MVP. Did the attack by MVP help lead to the appendectomy that Hardy underwent tonight?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned to WWE.com for updates on Matt Hardy’s condition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;credit - wwe.com &amp; rajah.com</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;img src="http://www.wwe.com/content/media/images/3883682/5837718"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last stop before Survivor Series will see the reuniting of the Hardys when Raw's Intercontinental Champion, Jeff, teams with his brother and one-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, Matt. The dynamic duo will face the team of Raw's Mr. Kennedy &amp; United States Champion, and Matt Hardy's co-champion, MVP. How will SmackDown's Franchise Playa and Raw's cocky Kennedy function against one of the most successful tandems in WWE history?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just two days before World Heavyweight Champion Batista steps into “the devil’s playground” – Hell in a Cell – against Undertaker at Survivor Series, The Animal will face Mark Henry on Friday Night SmackDown. In a WWE.com exclusive, the champion had strong words for the World’s Strongest Man (WATCH), who has taken full advantage of the working arrangement between SmackDown and ECW of late. With Henry undoubtedly looking to continue his dominant ways against the World Heavyweight Champion, will the encounter soften up Batista before his fifth – and surely  most epic – battle with Undertaker? Or does The Animal plan on sending a definitive statement to The Phenom through Mark Henry? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hatred between Rey Mysterio and Finlay soared to new heights on SmackDown last Friday when the two faced off in a rematch from Cyber Sunday. Defeating the Master of the 619 wouldn’t be enough for the irate Irishman, as he unleashed a fierce attack that left his high-flying opponent grounded and badly battered. With the two set to oppose each other at Survivor Series as part of the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match, what will Finlay’s next step be in this vicious rivalry? Will Mysterio seek retribution for the Celtic’s combatant’s assault this Friday?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matt Hardy &amp; MVP escaped with their WWE Tag Team Titles on SmackDown when they barely defeated the Major Brothers in a title match Friday night. Clearly, with Hardy and the Untied States Champion MVP scheduled to be on opposing sides at Survivor Series, the tension continues to grow between the dysfunctional duo. What will happen when the champions arrive in Wichita, Kan., this week, only two days before they square off against each other at WWE’s Thanksgiving tradition?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the answers to these questions, and more, tune into Friday Night SmackDown, 8/7 CT, only on The CW Network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;credit - wwe.com</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States Champion and 1/2 of the Tag Team Champions, "MVP" Montel&lt;br /&gt;Vontavious Porter, came to the ring to host a VIP Lounge along with his&lt;br /&gt;"posse." He said it's been one year since he joined WWE. His tag team&lt;br /&gt;partner, Matt Hardy came to the ring and said that he had two gifts for&lt;br /&gt;him. The first gift was a video package where he (Hardy) had MVP's best&lt;br /&gt;moments placed in a music video. At first only sound was playing and Hardy&lt;br /&gt;made a face like "Well, come on!" and then it aired. The video had moments&lt;br /&gt;where MVP was getting his butt kicked by superstars such as Kane, Evander&lt;br /&gt;Holyfield, including the Inferno Match where Kane sat MVP on fire. Also,&lt;br /&gt;footage of the Hardy-MVP non-wrestling contests were aired as well.&lt;br /&gt;Afterwards, MVP said that wasn't funny and Hardy said to calm down because&lt;br /&gt;it was just a joke. Hardy said that he did have a gift for MVP and he gave&lt;br /&gt;it to him. MVP unwrapped the present to reveal a bottle of Crystall. One&lt;br /&gt;of MVP's friends tried opening the bottle and had a lot of trouble. Finally&lt;br /&gt;the bottle was opened and as the Tag Team Champions were celebrating, Hardy&lt;br /&gt;said that he has another present for MVP and that one is because he knows&lt;br /&gt;MVP likes to pass challenges so tonight he has gotten MVP a match where he&lt;br /&gt;will defend the United States Championship against KANE! MVP was not&lt;br /&gt;pleased as Hardy celebrated back to the locker room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;credit - wrestlingheadlines.com</content>

    <title>SmackDown Countdown 2007: Matt Hardy</title>
    <published>2007-09-07T04:47:29Z</published>
    <updated>2007-09-07T04:47:29Z</updated>
    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;September 6, 2007 - Where were you seven years ago? Getting married? Flipping burgers? Eating paste? In a womb?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IGN was right here doing this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the seventh year of IGN teaming with THQ to bring you an exclusive look at the Superstars of the latest WWE videogame. This year, we'll be detailing all 50 of WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008's in-ring renegades -- legends, divas and the current brawlers -- in a one-a-day format leading up to our exclusive review. What can you expect on these pages as time goes by? Well, be on the lookout for stats, bios, videos, screens and much more as we get in-depth, hands-on time with these titles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note that as builds come in, we'll update with system-specific assets, but for now, all of our media is from the PlayStation 3 build of the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who gets the Countdown spotlight today? Why, it's none other than Matt Hardy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table width="460" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" bordercolor="black" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" height="267" background="http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/818/818165/wwe-smackdown-vs-raw-2008-20070906055932784.jpg" align="left" colspan="6"&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr bgcolor="#003399"&gt;&lt;td width="33%" valign="top" align="center" colspan="2"&gt;&lt;font color="white"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEIGHT:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 6'2"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width="33%" valign="top" align="center" colspan="2"&gt;&lt;font color="white"&gt;&lt;b&gt;WEIGHT:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 225 lbs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width="33%" valign="top" align="center" colspan="2"&gt;&lt;font color="white"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HOMETOWN:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cameron, N.C.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr bgcolor="#eaeae8"&gt;&lt;td valign="top" align="left" colspan="6"&gt; In the ring, Matt Hardy lives his motto: "I will not die." Time and time again he has sacrificed his body for both the enjoyment of the fans, and the sport which he has loved so dearly for his entire life. Matt came to the WWE in 1998 as a tag team specialist, teaming up with his brother Jeff to form the appropriately named The Hardys. While severely undersized, The Hardys' outstanding chemistry and unmatched heart carried them to stardom. The Hardys went on to become five-time World Tag Team Champions in WWE before breaking up in 2002.&lt;br /&gt; In 2003, shortly after joining the SmackDown roster, Matt Hardy pursued the Cruiserweight Championship. After struggling for weeks to make the weight limit, Hardy defeated Kidman for the Championship at No Way Out '03.&lt;br /&gt; In 2004, Hardy was chokeslammed by Kane and sat at home for a few months. While Hardy was away, he learned that his long-time real life girlfriend, Lita, was having a sordid affair with Edge. Adding to an already emotional period, Matt was also released from WWE during the same time. It wasn't long before information regarding the personal hell Matt was experiencing became public knowledge. His faithful followers began to make their voices heard at WWE events across the country. In fact, Matt points out the crowd's reaction at Madison Square Garden at the April 12 Raw for starting his "movement."&lt;br /&gt; Unable to simply sit at the sidelines while his heart was wrenching, Matt started popping up uninvited at WWE events, wreaking havoc on Edge and Lita every chance he had. He even called in and crashed Lita's Byte This! interview, confronting her about their tumultuous relationship. Not long after, Mr. McMahon said that Hardy was starting fires all over the place, and he couldn't help but to pour gasoline on those fires by re-hiring Matt.&lt;br /&gt; After clashing with Edge on several occasions including a classic steel cage bout at the 2005 Unforgiven which saw Hardy defeat Edge following a daring legdrop from the top of the cage, Hardy and Edge would meet one more time in a ladder match at the Raw Homecoming in October 2005. The battle would result in the two bitter rivals' careers going in quite different directions. After taking Edge to the limit and nearing an end, Lita interjected herself in the match costing Matt not only the match but his spot on the Raw roster. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;small&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.wwe.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;WWE.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr bgcolor="#003399"&gt;&lt;td valign="top" align="center" colspan="6"&gt;&lt;font color="white"&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINISHERS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr bgcolor="#eaeae8"&gt;&lt;td width="50%" valign="top" align="center" colspan="3"&gt;Twist of Fate 1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width="50%" valign="top" align="center" colspan="3"&gt;Twist of Fate 2&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;credit - ign.com</content>

    <title>Matt Hardy Comments On Jeff, Summerslam, Tag Team</title>

    <content type="html">Between The Ropes&lt;br /&gt;Friday, August 17, 2007&lt;br /&gt;Central Florida's Sports Radio 740 The Team&lt;br /&gt;Simulcast online at BetweenTheRopes.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week Between The Ropes host Brian Fritz was able to talk with WWE Superstar Matt Hardy about his boxing match with Evander Holyfield, the direction of his singles career, and much more in an interview posted exclusively on BetweenTheRopes.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interview started with some discussion of Matt's boxing match against Evander Holyfield. Matt discussed how he wound up in the fight and said that it was "the most intimidating situation he's been in."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding the series of challenges that he and MVP have done before their match at Summerslam Matt joke that he would like a horseshoes showdown against MVP. He then said "come hell or high water I'm going to leave (Summerslam) with the U.S. Title."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The discussion then turned to how Matt see the direction of his career. "I feel like I'm at a great place. Smackdown has really been plagued by injuries over the course of the summer and I feel like it has given me an opportunity to step up. Almost every week I've been in a 20 minute match, and while I am working against MVP a lot of people have perceived me as the MVP of Smackdown recently…I'm excited to have that chance and have tried to make the most of it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked about the great reaction that he and his brother Jeff get from the fans Matt said "I think the people respect us. Wrestling fans are really loyal, they remember all the ladder matches, table matches, the TLC matches, and all the things we've put our bodies through. We've given them everything from our bodies and souls to entertain them and they remember that and respect that." Matt also said he is able to connect with the fans since he a blue collar kind of guy that has had to work to get where he is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On whether he would have liked to continue tagging with his brother as he had earlier in the year Matt said he would "rather continue down the singles path. As a tag team we've been seven time world tag team champs, we've been in every type of tag match you can do, and it's always something I'll want to come back to, but we've done it all there. As a singles competitor I haven't done it all and that's what I want to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking back at the Edge and Lita situation from a couple of years ago Matt said that he is "way past that." He said that it was a tough situation losing a relationship, a friend, and a job, but he didn't let it hang him up and he doesn't harbor any resentment toward anyone. Matt also admitted that he was "very close" to not returning to the WWE, but that in the end things turned out well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interview concluded with Matt being asked about his thoughts on the current tag team division. "It's tough, just because tag team wrestling isn't something that is a priority in the WWE. One thing that I tell the guys they should…do is for each member to find their own identity…They should really try and single out personality traits within the persona and still have something for the team." Matt also concluded that "a lot of the guys are newer and don't have a lot of experience, so they're learning on the job and that's what I think slows a lot of the newer tag teams down."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To listen to the entire Matt Hardy interview, including how he feels about having his brother back with the company and his thoughts on an upcoming documentary on his OMEGA wrestling promotion visit the show online at &lt;a href="http://www.BetweenTheRopes.com"&gt;http://www.BetweenTheRopes.com&lt;/a&gt;.</content>

    <title>Future Plans For Matt &amp; Jeff Hardy Revealed</title>
    <published>2007-06-26T02:47:46Z</published>
    <updated>2007-06-26T02:47:46Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Right now the plan is to move the Hardys back to singles. Their run as a tag team was only supposed to be a one-time deal; however since they went over so well WWE decided to give them a few more matches. At one point they almost decided not to have them challenge Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch at last night’s Vengeance pay-per-view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The working idea backstage is to have Matt Hardy get a big singles push on SmackDown as a babyface who loses all the time but stays over. They then want Jeff to develop a prankster type personality backstage which could be used to integrate him into the Jackass angle planned for SummerSlam. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Source - Wrestling Observer Newsletter</content>

    <title>Hardy's hell week</title>
    <published>2007-06-11T20:16:33Z</published>
    <updated>2007-06-11T20:16:33Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Looking back at the last seven days, it’s safe to say that this might have been one of the worst weeks of Matt Hardy’s in-ring career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One week ago, Matt and brother Jeff survived a brutal Ladder Match against The World’s Greatest Tag Team at One Night Stand…and that was the easy part. Because come the next night on Raw, The Hardys ran into a delusional, maniacal Mr. McMahon, and that’s when the trouble began.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“For the longest time, I’ve thought Mr. McMahon was crazy…but now, I know he’s clinically insane,” Matt said about the Chairman’s Raw antics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those antics? Putting The Hardys, who were banged up and possibly not even able to compete, into a match with Cade &amp; Murdoch for the World Tag Team Championship. Matt &amp; Jeff battled valiantly as they always do, but their two-month reign as champions came to an end courtesy of their Southern challengers. As if that wasn’t bad enough, to add insult to injury, Cade &amp; Murdoch attacked The Hardys with the gold after the match, proving their “new attitude was a ruse.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.wwe.com/content/media/images/3883682/4836510"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to Mr. McMahon, Matt Hardy found himself down for the count twice in one week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Matt’s week only got worse, as he ran afoul of the Chairman once again on SmackDown. Already scheduled to face WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce &amp; Domino in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match, Matt further angered Mr. McMahon in trying to explain that Ashley spilling coffee all over him was an accident. In the end, Matt still had the match, and Ashley was suspended indefinitely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, like he always does, Matt battled valiantly, but he still came up on the short end of the stick. Matt’s mantra is that he will never die, but after spending a week in the Chairman’s crosshairs, he might feel like he’s being hunted extra hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don’t know what the heck is going on,” Matt remarked. “It really sucked Monday when Jeff &amp; I were forced to defend the World Tag Team Championship when we weren’t in any condition to. Then, come SmackDown, I had to wrestle the WWE Tag Team Champions 2-on-1. Deuce &amp; Domino aren’t just two regular guys, and it was a fight for my life in there, just trying to survive.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, being the virtuous Superstar that he is, Hardy survived his hell week, even if following the boss’ orders was a trying ordeal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah, it sucked,” Hardy lamented. “But hey, what can you do? He’s the boss and that’s what he wanted.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As he uttered that quote, an understandably puzzled and frustrated Hardy then turned the onus back on the Chairman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“He has officially lost it,” Matt remarked. “Maybe there’s something going on that he needs to be treated for. I don’t know, but knowing that he’s still running the company, that’s scary.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matt will be at Monday’s WWE Draft, which will take place on Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night, and he had one final remark for the Chairman about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I certainly don’t appreciate the way I’ve been treated over the last week,” Matt said. “But hey, as I always say, I will not die. I will survive.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;credit - wwe.com</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 17, 2007 - Thursday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The QUEST to be the BEST begins now! Plus an article &amp; a contest!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi! Matthew Moore Hardy is hanging at the house and feelin' and smellin' like a million bucks! Two million bucks, actually, LOL! I just got home from the road on Wednesday evening, finishing up my six days a week schedule. As the boys in the WWE dressing room say--I'm the hardest working man in the business today, the "Workhorse" Matt Hardy. After taking a Wednesday evening nap, I dined on an awesome Bonefish meal, had a great workout, did a little shopping, picked up a delicious Cheeseburger at the Truck Stop for the road, burned my trash in my new bonfire hole, played with Lucas while doing so, and I am now writing a quick blog (as well as a brutal run-on sentence, ha!). It's been a nice day--mainly because I flushed my system of that little bit of negativity and frustration I've had lurking the last couple of weeks. The Matt Hardy that you know and love is up and running again on all cylinders! Which brings me to the QUEST to be the BEST!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of today, Thursday, May 17th, 2007, I am on a QUEST to be the BEST. What I mean when I say that is very simple--I'm on a journey to be the very best there is in the professional wrestling/sports entertainment business. I feel like every week I'm one of the most consistent and entertaining performers in the WWE. And I'm only gonna get better. As long as God is with me and I don't suffer any serious injuries. There was a ton of feedback from my first "Will Not Die-aries", stemming from my goal of winning the World Heavyweight Championship. Some people believe in me, some don't... story of my life. I believe in me, and alot of good people do, and that's all that matters. I'm fully focusing towards becoming the man on Smackdown. Whether I win, lose, or draw, I wanna be the star of the show, the best match every night. And ultimately, I wanna be the World Champion. I have World Tag Team Title commitments on Raw now, but I'm staying strictly a singles act on Smackdown. I've let the powers that be know that I want big time, main event matches every week. I'm ready to shatter through the glass ceiling and never come back. So it starts now for me--the QUEST to be the BEST!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you'd like, I'd love for you to check out this article written by Daniel Wilcox--it's about 2/3's of the way down the page and entitled, "Matt Hardy can be World Champion!" As most of you know, I'm a fan of positivity when it comes to covering wrestling. Thanks for such a positive and well-written article Daniel! Here's the link--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/columns/54391/Schmozzes-&amp;-Screwjobs-05.15.07:-Edge-Screws-Cena-Part-III-of-V.htm"&gt;http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/columns/54391/Schmozzes-&amp;-Screwjobs-05.15.07:-Edge-Screws-Cena-Part-III-of-V.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After reading this, I had an idea for a little contest here on OurSpace... I'd like for you guys to write a short, positive blog giving your opinions on my QUEST to be the BEST, my World Title aspirations, or just whatever your take is on me! Please then post your blog here as a comment about my blog that you're currently reading. I'll read through them all and pick my three favorites. I'll then make an exclusive blog featuring the three winners of the contest. So put your thinking caps on have some fun with it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also wanted to plug a phenomenal Matt Hardy site that is ran by my friends Chantal and Tamran, www.matthew-moore-hardy.com. The site was just reopened and they do a great job with it--check it out when you get a chance. And while I'm giving plugs, don't forget to check out www.thehardyshow.com, a really fun site where you can see Jeff and I in a different light. Don't forget to tune into Smackdown Friday, I'll be on the show in an important match, right at 8 p.m. Just recently, I've been having alot of one-on-one talks with one of the all time greats in the business. He's a guy who can relate to my path and career and was a big inspiration to me as I was getting into the business. One of our more recent conversations was pretty hard-hitting and heavy. It actually triggered the thoughts that led to my mindset when I decided what the quote of the day should be. I was split, so I'm gonna let my alter-ego, the Angelic Diablo, bring you the quote(s) of the day...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Angel says...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quote of the day - "The best way to change something that's around you, something you don't like, is to change yourself" - Eddie Vedder, speaking to the audience during a live version of Porch from Randall's Island, Pearl Jam&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Diablo says...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quote of the day - "If my survival means your total destruction, then so be it" - Sister Souljah, The Hate That Hate Produced&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 18, 2007 - Friday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Something that I F*CKING HATE...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...is when someone looks me directly in the eyes and tells me a lie. That's happened to me a couple times this week from a couple different people. There's nothing more cowardly and childish than lying to someone because you're afraid to tell the truth. Please, find the strength to tell the truth. Find the heart to tell the truth. Honesty is the best policy, always. Tell the truth, even if you don't want to and who you're telling doesn't wanna hear it. If you're an adult, be an adult.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quote of the day - "They say two wrongs don't make it right, but it damn sure makes it even" - Sister Souljah, The Hate That Hate Produced</content>

    <title> Matt Hardy Can Be World Champion!</title>
    <published>2007-05-16T02:30:23Z</published>

    <content type="html">With Edge's recent move to SmackDown and subsequent World Heavyweight Championship victory, many people both inside and out of the WWE have speculated if Matt Hardy, Edge's former friend turned rival, will get a title opportunity, which if it did happen, I believe would be his first ever. Many people in the IWC particularly, have said that he could have a brief feud with Edge resulting in one WWE pay-per-view match, but no way in hell will he ever be a world champion. Well I am here to disagree. Matt Hardy can be World champion, and here's why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as I am concerned, to be qualified to hold a World Championship, particularly in WWE you need several qualifications. One of the most important things is a moveset. I'm not saying you have to be as gifted as a Bret Hart or a Kurt Angle, but you need a set of moves that everybody recognises, looks effective and gets popped. Batista has the Spear, the powerslam, the spinebuster and the Batista Bomb amongst others. John Cena has the spin-out powerbomb, the Five Knuckle Shuffle, the Throwback, the FU and the STFU. Vince McMahon has jack shit, but he's an exception because he's now Dr. Vince McMahon. Matt Hardy has a recognisable moveset. Hardy has the Side Effect, a move which is not unlike the Rock Bottom, but swankier. He has the familiar second rope leg drop which always looks cool. He has the corner clothesline/bulldog combo which although isn't going to be putting anybody away any time soon is a great transition move and can be use to start building a comeback. Then of course there is his finisher, the Twist of Fate. This is a finisher which has a familiar name, looks good and is damn effective as it works the head, face, neck and sternum, much like an RKO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another important factor is popularity and the ability to shift merchandise. There is no-one out there who can dispute the Matt Hardy has been one of the most popular superstars in the WWE for the past two years since he returned in 2005. He out-pops most of his co-workers on SmackDown including the likes of Chris Benoit and Kane. On occasion, Matt Hardy has out-popped former ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley who, as we all know, is the latest to get the superman push. Matt, as part of the Hardys has always been able to sell some merch which may be the sole reason John Cena was first crowned WWE Champion. Hardy can take advantage of his tag team status and a main event push would surely result in him shifting more of his own merchandise. Of course a renewed feud with the Rated R Superstar would only increase his popularity even more because Edge is undoubtedly the best heel currently in the WWE, maybe even the entire wrestling world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far we have established Matt Hardy is popular and owns a good enough moveset to be a World champion. Many of the great champions of the past have been awesome sellers. Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H and even John Cena to name a few, are all tremendous sellers and that helps them and their opponents. That's why matches between combinations of those guys have nearly always resulted in tremendous matches. I think Matt Hardy is one of the best sellers on the current WWE roster, especially when selling a particular limb such as an arm or a leg. Case in point, let me take you back to February and a match between Matt Hardy and Joey Mercury. Mercury had been working the arm the entire match and Hardy had been selling it brilliantly as always. When Hardy made his comeback, he whipped Joey into the corner and was going for his clothesline/bulldog combination move. Now normally when Matt does this, he switches arms – hits the clothesline with the right and then the bulldog with the left. Not this time. To sell the arm, instead of switching arms, he repositioned his body so he could do both the clothesline and the bulldog with the same arm. How many people would think of doing that? I was going to send that one in to the guys over at Hidden Highlights but forgot. I do recall a particular HH from the same match about Hardy doing the Twist of Fate with one arm as well, but mine was better. Still, it's another example of how good Matt Hardy is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another important factor in mediocre superstars becoming world champions is feuds. Hardy has had several tremendous feuds over the years in tag teams, but not so many as a singles competitor. He had the brief run against Kane which of course resulted in Kane marrying Lita, but that was not nearly memorable enough. The one that really stands out is his feud with Edge in 2005.Not only did this produce great matches, but it had a real sense of drama because it was real. That's what makes this feud different from just about any other feud in recent memory. And because Edge is now the champion a rekindled feud would be huge for Hardy and give him the extra step he needs to be a legit champion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The final critical talent needed is the charisma. Matt Hardy is by no stretch of the imagination a great talker, but he is good. Take a look at when he was a heel and going through the Mattitude thing. There were some good promos in there. And again with the Edge feud – some really intense promos there, too. And let's face it, Batista and Bobby Lashley were champions for a long time, and Matt Hardy is miles better than both of those guys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's face it, Matt Hardy has all the tools needed to be World champion, and with Batista out of favour, Kennedy and Taker on the shelf, Matt Hardy is going to get pushed and I'm making the prediction now. Matt Hardy will win the World Heavyweight Championship this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Credit - &lt;a href="http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/columns/54391/Schmozzes-&amp;-Screwjobs-05.15.07:-Edge-Screws-Cena-Part-III-of-V.htm"&gt;http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/columns/54391/Schmozzes-&amp;-Screwjobs-05.15.07:-Edge-Screws-Cena-Part-III-of-V.htm&lt;/a&gt;</content>
