I waited to make sure the full details came out before posting this.  Former WWE Superstar and TNA whatever the hell they call their guys Matt Hardy posted what can only be called a suicide video the other day.  He said goodbye, listed a death date, pretty much put closure to his life.   Many loyal fans, and wrestling nerds like myself, asked for someone to check on him.  The local police, after receiving numerous 911 calls checked up on him.  Matt told the officers that it was a character thing, fans not being able to distinguish between fantasy and reality.  All is well.

Fuck you Matt Hardy.

You have made a fortune, the only job you’ve ever had, in the world of professional wrestling.  We all love it, to be sure, but it is a dark and sad world far too often.  Suicide is nothing to joke around about.  (Yes, I hate the TNA character.  We’ll leave that for another day.)  Lets take a quick look at the suicide deaths that have taken place in wrestling:  Chris Kanyon, Mike Awesome, Crash Holly, half the Von Erich family, many more and of course Chris Benoit.  Matt Hardy, being the strange wrestling mark that he is, most definitely knows the history of the Von Erich family.  He at least met Awesome and Kanyon during the WCW Invasion/Alliance storyline.  Crash Holly was a protege of Mattitude.  Finally, he worked with Benoit, the man who caused the darkest day in professional wrestling history, for the better part of a decade.

None of this has led you to believe that maybe suicide isn’t a joke!?

Guess what Matt Hardy, those of us who can string together sentences, and those of us who can read them, are aware that wrestling is a work.  The genie has been out for awhile.  We watch because of the action, the stories, and the compelling characters.  You used to be one of those characters!  We supported everything from V.1 to Cold Blood and all stops in between.  If this was truly a new character, we would have supported that as well.

But it wasn’t.  It was one of two things.  A stupid joke, or a stalled suicide.  You cant debut a new character sitting on your ass at home Matt.  In order to have a character, you need to have an audience.  And this little stunt caused you to lose what little audience you have.  Fans and even friends & family are turning their backs.  Enough games, enough playing around in your head.  Go get help.

Oh, you don’t need help?  That mug shot says otherwise.

Anyone who has spent some time on this Earth has lost someone to suicide.  Matt could have been a positive force.  Someone who has also lost friends, but he got through it and he can help you as well!  Instead he’s becoming this sad pathetic joke.  Unfortunately, he seems destined to become a sad pathetic statistic.

Fuck you Matt Hardy, and get your head out of your ass.
