Loss Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 Who knows if this is true, but according to PWInsider Elite, Matt Hardy has been so upset about Edge winning the title that he has been purposely attempting to get fired by showing up late, breaking dress code and being abrasive.
Mad Dog Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 <_> What a baby. He could've always done the indy deal and not have to deal with this currently. No one forced him to come back.
Guest Dangerous A Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 But I thought we were supposed to wait a couple months before Matt and Edge's storyline was "really" supposed to take off and Matt would show the IWC that he truly made the right decision going to WWE.
Mad Dog Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 Didn't he say that about his feud with Kane a few years ago too?
Guest Cam Chaos Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 He could have been TNA champ or TNA tag champs with Jeff by now instead but he's made his bed, now he has to lie in it. He was fucking stupid for going back to a company that fired him while he was injured because his friend was fucking his girl on the road and he was fucking stupid to let McMahon steal all his heat by endorsing his return. Now he's paying for his fucking stupid decisions after the hand that fed him slapped him, flipped him off and chucked him out the front door before beckoning him back when they sensed payola. If he'd been smarter then he wouldn't have to resort being unprofessional now.
Guest CanadianChick Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 God, what a bitch. It's like he thinks that Edge got the title just to spite him or something. If he's still really hung up on the situation, he should take comfort in the fact that Lita is still being portrayed as the biggest slut ever. Poetic justice, or something like that.
goodhelmet Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 I want to see Meltzer confirm this before I comment.
Guest Mike Campbell Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 I liked the initial reaction on DVDVR. Which was that Matt should start doing the same stuff that George Costanza did, when he tried to get fired from the Yankees.
Guest WidowsPeak Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 I liked the initial reaction on DVDVR. Which was that Matt should start doing the same stuff that George Costanza did, when he tried to get fired from the Yankees. Now that would be hilarious.
Guest brian Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 Matt's an independent contractor, he can do what he wants. I saw the contract. Heck, they'll even let TALENT die without any responsibility to the company.
Marty Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 I liked the initial reaction on DVDVR.

Does Vince not have certain people around as consultants? If so, I smell Office Space plot for Matt. It's too bad he and Lita aren't back together, albeit briefly. I could see Amy Dumas being the type who would go to a hypnotherapist.
sek69 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 I bet he has a "Jump to Conclusions" mat at home.
Guest Mike Campbell Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 There's plenty of ways he could get fired. - Drive around the parking lot of Titan towers dragging the WWE Title behind him. - Slip a Mickey into Vince's drink (one my personal favorite episodes) - Tell creative that the wrestlers would be much better if they all switched to cotton tights
Loss Posted January 15, 2006 Author Report Posted January 15, 2006 He could get work even more on getting his persona over. That would probably piss McMahon off more than anything else he could do.
Guest Bruiser Chong Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 There's plenty of ways he could get fired. - Drive around the parking lot of Titan towers dragging the WWE Title behind him. - Slip a Mickey into Vince's drink (one my personal favorite episodes) - Tell creative that the wrestlers would be much better if they all switched to cotton tights Or he could break into Vince's office, steal the photo of Vince and his family at the beach with a younger Matt Hardy in the background, get it airbrushed to erase himself, only to have Vince be the only taken out of the picture and eventually drawn back in. And then Jeff Hardy could pretend to be Dr. Van Nostdrum and bag himself a picture of a shirtless Vince.
MyOwnSummer Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 Well if he seriously wanted to piss Vince off, he'd just try to start a Union.
JHawk Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 If he really wants to get fired, he can wait until Steph's six months pregnant and tell her she's getting fat.
Loss Posted January 15, 2006 Author Report Posted January 15, 2006 Matt Hardy's officially RVD'd himself, where he can say whatever he wants negative about the company and they won't fire him because they know he'll be valuable elsewhere.
Guest brian Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 Just start talking about steroid. Go to the newsstations where they'll take him, talk to the local papers, do whatever. Fuck, I'm going to e-mail him that one.
Guest Bruiser Chong Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 Let's face it: the only way Matt's getting out is if Vince somehow becomes under the impression that Hardy's moonlighting as an employee at an Arkansas chicken joint.
Loss Posted January 15, 2006 Author Report Posted January 15, 2006 Thing is, if Vince knows Matt wants to be fired, he'll just bury him like hell and make him stay around. Matt Hardy may end up as Orlando Jordan's female love interest or something.
Guest brian Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Here's the thing: is there anythingin the legalese of that contract that says that Matt has to go along with it. Personally, I don't see how Matt cannot do a ton more damage from the inside that he can on the outside. Leaking news. Finding venues to bad-mouth the business (and I think that if Matt has the right message, he can get it across) while having the rep of being an employee. Sabotaging shows. Yeah, he'll burn bridges, and he may just burn out all the business bridges in the immediate future, but if he's serious about getting out, he can pull it off and get some sweet revenge in the process.
