Matt Hardy's career could be over

Matt Hardy Reportedly Taking Time Off, Update On His Future - SEScoops

Other stuff I've read says its due to a condition where his back and hip are fusing together from years and years of high impact bumps. He's seeking treatment and if it doesn't help alleviate the pain, he's likely gonna call it quits.

If he does call it a career, I hope he still does some Broken/Woken stuff. There's really no reason why he can't do the filmed Hardy Compound stuff. It's not like those were "real" matches.

Not surprising, he has been posting cryptic tweets that made you think he was ending his career soon. After his match Monday on Raw, him & Bray were the last ones to leave the ring area. The lights had dimmed for the ring crew to change the mats and as they got to the top of the stage, Bray led the crowd in a round of applause for Matt, as well as bowing to the crowd. I took it as that being Matt's swan song.

How much ass were you forced to look at? I went to the Raw 15th Anniversary show years ago and spent nearly the entire show staring at ass because the clowns in front of me wouldn't sit the fuck down. No matter how many times we told them to.

Didn't have that problem as there was a mom in front of me that was only there because she had to be. She did annoy the fuck out of me because she kept flipping her hair on my legs. She finally put her hair up in a ponytail as the show was ending.

I don't think there's a single fan on Earth that ever said "I wish this match would happen".

Im semi interested but just seeing how they build

Turning them all heels??? Interesting.

Turning them all heels??? Interesting.

Totally confused...

The announcers (particularly Cole) called it like a babyface moment.

The promo next Monday will explain it I guess. I'm thinking they're going to explain it as not letting Strowman get the advantage after Reigns was beat up from his match.

Definitely a cool angle.

I don't think it really matters. The SHIELD can operate as vigilantes with their own code. They were tweeners for the longest time anyway.

 

[futballiscool]

I think they'll be faces but It's setting up a big Ambrose heel turn pretty soon

 

[jeffro151]

Surely I can't be the only one that is incredibly bored by AOP.

 

[justanidiot]

Well, I was never a big fan of the Shield, mainly since we never really knew who had them do what they did, but this was a genius move by Vince. I am pretty sure about 90% of the reigns haters flipped last night when the Shield came back. I dont know why they did not walk down the aisle, but this was clearly as much as vince could have done to get Roman over finally.

You are not.

There only good for two things.

A) Fast forward button on remote
B) Skip button on remote

To be quite honest. They need a manager. Not Heyman but someone who preaches destruction.

The worse move for them was dumping ellrig.

I think Ambrose is too over for a heel turn. It would be a Austin 97 result.

Same.

I think that next week. They go like we are watching the champs back and will help him vs lesnar

I think it'll work if they time it right and have a logical storyline in place.

Rollins is hot right now so the majority of the crowd takes his side over Dean imo

I don't think Ellering would have made a difference. The real problem is WWE, as it sometimes does with NXT talent, called them up with no real plan in mind.

That Rollins/Owens match= Raw's match of the year

 

[wildturkey]

WWE has been looking forever to create a top babyface that's universally liked

WWE appears to finally have pulled that off with Braun Strowman.

WWE turns Braun Strowman heel.
