I can't take Sting seriously as a main guy. He annoys me, if your crazy why do you reference that you've lost your mind. We can all make that assumption why must it be said? He was out of breath for a long time too <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I like that they censored it when Tenay tried to name it as the AAA Championship.

 

Doesn't seem very working agreement-y to be doing that... :p

 

they also blurred the real title on tv when they showed jarrett winning it. The belt he is carrying around looks nothing like the real AAA title.

 

He is the actuall AAA champion though so I don't really understand why they are going to the trouble of editing it.

Wasn't Angle saying green asses and I was brought in to make you a bit too real. I thought CM Punk comments never broke the legitimacy of wrestling, but Angle's did. Could what he said be taken any other way? Surely he was brought in to have good matches against his "enemies"? I may be seeing it wrong, can anyone explain what his comments in general mean in the context of wrestling [resented as being real?

last night i could swear they had a close up of the title and they had 'immortal' spelled wrong as 'inmortal'

 

From what I've heard, it's a sticker plate of some sort blocking the actual AAA title. So that's probably why it reads Immortal.

 

Jeff Jarrett referred to it as an Immortal Championship (or something close) a week or two ago. Or whatever the Impact after Hardcore Justice.

From a kayfabe perspective, I guess you could say that competing against someone the caliber of Kurt Angle helped those "green asses" improve their skills, and his presence gave TNA more exposure that helped "make" these unknowns into television stars.

Matt Hardy has been arrested for Drinking Whilst Intoxicated, apparently. Something wrong with the OMEGA guys :p

 

TMZ.com is reporting that TNA star Matt Hardy was arrested by a North Carolina State Highway Patrol trooper after having run his car off the road, striking a tree.Hardy, who was alone at the time, was not injured. The Trooper arrested Hardy after "observing signs of impairment". TMZ.com is reporting a blood test is pending and there was no contraband found in Hardy's car.

Update: MATT HARDY FIRED!!!

 

In the wake of his arrest this afternoon for DWI, Matt Hardy has been released by TNA.

In a statement made to TMZ.com, an unnamed TNA Spokesperson commented, "TNA today released Impact Wrestling star Matt Hardy from its roster. Hardy was already under suspension from the company."

 

PWInsider.com has independently confirmed Hardy's release.

 

According to sources this evening, the original plan had been for Matt and Jeff Hardy to return to TNA storylines around Bound for Glory this October. Obviously, that is out the window. Jeff Hardy's status with the company is unchanged as TNA will be releasing a DVD on his career this Fall and have also licensed him out for several new products, including children's Halloween costumes.

 

Matt Hardy had been sent home from TNA this past June, with the official reason being excessive lateness to events, although it was believed that was a cover story and the real suspension was due to a video Hardy posted online that featured an inebriated Jeff Hardy and both Hardys using a Tazer on Matt's girlfriend, Lucha Libre USA's Reby Sky. Hardy never acknowledged he was suspended, instead stating publicly he was taking some time off.

 

Hardy joined TNA this past January after being released by WWE in October 2010 following a series of incidents that caused him to be sent home from a company tour of Europe. Hardy walked out of an event in White Plains, NY after officials voiced concern about his condition. During the European tour, Hardy's condition caused him to be sent home. When PWInsider.com broke the story, Hardy responded with a rambling video posted online claiming that the stories couldn't be true because he was still in Europe. He never wrestled for WWE again, being officially released several weeks later.

 

On August 19th, Hardy wrote on his Twitter account, "It's time for me to get back to a healthy, happy place, the transformation his now started for me, for us-(New Chapter Will begin new)"

Are Matt and Jeff having some kind of sick contest to crown which one is the most messed up of the two?

 

So it would seem. And it used to be my understanding Matt was the stable one. That part of why I so hated Jeff. I pitied Matt having to live with Jeff's vagaries. But last couple years or so it seems like Jeff's rubbed off on him rather than what you would hope would happen. Looks like I'm going to have to learn to be more accepting of Jeff professionally since my reason for favoring Matt is apparently out the window.

 

Way to go, Matt. Looks like I can quit following Mattitude now:(

I was thinking of drunk driving and then the article said drinking :p

 

Imagine getting fired for drinking whilst being drunk :D

 

That would be like the times we've fired guys in TEW over a particularly stinky fart. Most likely a case where you just needed that last excuse to fire him anyway.

they both seemed to be messed up when they were shooting on CM Punk at IHOP or whatever place that was. I wouldn't put it past him. It's a shame, for some reason Matt seems to think acting like a fool would get him somewhere. Where can he go now? Definitely not WWE, probably Ring of Honor though. He just needs to calm the hell down, they are both getting too old for the childish antics.

I am not sure if ROH would even touch him. Is he worth the trouble just to add some name value to your promotion?

 

I have never been a fan of either Hardy Boy so I am not sad to see them go. I hope that they clean up their acts and do something with their talent.

Most likely a rhetorical question but... No he certainly is not :). Disclaimer: This is of course In My Opinion :D
