Former WWE and TNA wrestling star Matt Hardy was arrested on Saturday in North Carolina for suspicion of driving while intoxicated after he drove his 2009 Corvette off the road and into a tree. Hardy wasn’t injured, but was released from TNA within the day with a quick statement that didn’t even wish him well in his future endeavors and included the phrase “already under suspension from the company.” That suspension was reportedly for excessive lateness, but probably had more to do with a YouTube video wherein Matt and his brother Jeff (currently awaiting trial for a 2009 arrest on drug charges) hold down Matt’s girlfriend and taze her.
Honestly it’s a confusing jumble of pro wrestling mess, but Matt, who is not afraid to be the most obnoxious person on the entire Internet, was quick to call conspiracy and deny all charges.
I took a? breathalyzer immediately on the spot and it read clean, zero, nothing. Think about peeps! There’s more to this story than meets the eye. MATTHEW
There are two sides to every story, right?
Then, of course, the mug shot found its way onto the Internet. I will juxtapose that image with Matt’s explanation for it, because “I was drunk and drove into a tree” is way less rational and reasonable than “I am being reborn as a miracle-working angel”. Uh…
When the side windows glass smashed into my face, arms, & neck, some of the blood that did felt almost angelic. I went from being afraid to die to feeling like I was almost being reborn with some sort of an ABSOLUTE PURE LIFE-FORCE. It was the most amazing thing I’ve every experience, I felt like I’d just received the blood of an angel flowing inside me-I know this sounds crazy! Due to these, I only have urges to help people. And miraculously, all my vices are gone.Amen Friends,
MATTHEW
So who do we believe? The police officers influenced by a moderate amount of celebrity, or the aging, abusive pro wrestler on so many drugs that he believes a car accident granted him supernatural powers? Some wrestling tragedies come out of nowhere — the death of Macho Man Randy Savage, for example — and some happen in slow little steps. Like most wrestling fans, I wish the Hardys the best and hope they can get their sh*t together but am pretty tired of having to watch them fail.

what a cruel twist of fate
“Like most wrestling fans, I wish the Hardys the best and hope they can get their sh*t together but am pretty tired of having to watch them fail.”
Speak for yourself. I don’t care what it takes to keep these two hicks and fellow drunk driver/wannabe martyr Shane Helms off TV.
I dare say that the only tragic aspect of the Hardy Boyz’ lives would be that Jeff’s dog died that time, but the more they make YouTube videos, the more I’m convinced that the dog committed suicide out of shame.
I’m not the first person to say this, but as a big-time fan of the Hardys circa 1998-early 2000s, everything that has happened with them in the last several years is just such a bummer.
Just wait because the new angel blood Matt Hardy will revolutionize the business.
See, that’s what your face looks like after you try to slap a tornado.
Good lord, I was a fan of the Hardys for years, but as with others the last few years I lost respect for Jeff because of his on-again off-again whackiness, but I always thought “Matt’s got it a lot more together, he’ll get his brother through this somehow.”
Then bam, Matt Hardy blew a fuse, a big gog damn fuse and now he seems worse off than his brother.
I mean Jeff talks crap, but he has always talked crazy. I fear for the next article when the more sensible Hardy starts calling himself an absolute pure life-force.
I don’t wish badly upon people that have done nothing to me, and the Hardys entertained me for a long time before all this. I just hope they get it together, I don’t even care if they wrestle again, just don’t end up in some bizarre murder/suicide/death that has neighbour’s repeating “They were such quiet boys.”
So Matt wants us to believe that the police/prosecutor are falsifying information to get Matt Hardy on a drunk driving charge? That seems crazier than the Angel stuff.
There’s nothing wrong with the Hardys that Bas Rutten can’t fix… after he watches them torture that girl
Keep in mind that driving while impaired includes other things than booze. The arresting officer thought Matt was on something other than booze, so Matt’s sanctimonious denial of being drunk is likely purposefully misleading. Typical lying addict.
They took a blood sample from him because the officer supposedly believed that he had some sort of substance in him. I really can’t wait for those results to come.
The Hardys need help.
Keep in mind that by all accounts ABSOLUTE PURE LIFE-FORCE angel blood Matt is the less fucked up of the two.
I’m with Paul–having been a past fan of the Hardys, it’s sad to see what they’ve become. That said, though, that mug shot nearly made me choke on my coffee.
Of course, what Matt meant to say was “ABSOLUT PURE LIFE-FORCE vodka, available at a liquor store near you.”
im a huge Hardy Boyz fan. but they have gone pretty far into that part of wrestling where they cant come back. when TNA doesn’t want you that says something.
Lita fucking Edge while with Matt years ago seems more and more valid everytime Mattitude occurs.
WTF is up with his right eye? Is he Glacier on the weekends? ANGEL BLOOD RUNS COLD
Angel blood flowed through him? I didn’t know angels bled heroine!
