WWE released seven wrestlers yesterday, and there could be more. Matt Hardy made the following comments on his Twitter, which considering the releases, are very interesting…
"After 13 title reigns during my WWE career, I've more than exceeded what anyone ever expected from me-& I'm optimistic there's more to come."
"But I truly feel that I'll actually have more to offer to the industry with my mind than I could physically with my body in the long run..
"I have alot of projects going on currently.. But I love pro wrestling & it will always be in my blood. Always. It's given me a great life."
"You guys give me the motivation to push on with or without the help of the "machine".. I pride myself on being the "Self-Made Superstar"
It's no secret that Shannon Moore, Jeff Hardy, and others have been trying to get Matt to leave WWE for TNA for quite some time now. It should also be noted that it's two completely different atmospheres backstage. Many people in TNA are happy to go to work (likely due to the lesser travel schedule and the fact that Dixie Carter runs things in a 'mellow' way) while people within WWE are fed up and have been for a long time now.
