Hahaha. This is CLASSIC stuff.

I love that the WWE is finally thinking outside the box.

____________________________________

Matt Hardy called into WWE.com's Byte This, "confronting" Lita as to why she left him for Adam Copeland (as he called him on the air). Lita said that she doesn't think she needs to explain why she's with Edge. She told Hardy that one of the reasons she's not with him is that he's been cutting wrestling promos about their personal life.

Lita said that it's not her issue to act out "this breakup in a public way" the way Hardy did. She questioned him rallying his MFers for, "What, I don't know." Hardy responded that it's a public thing because they are public people and she got involved with someone who claimed to be one of his best friends.

"We're on TV, we're worldwide in every country in the world. Considering the power of the Internet, it was going to be out there." said Hardy. Lita said that if Hardy didn't rally the troops and make matter public, things would have been conducted a lot better. She said the situation came out of nowhere, but wasn't her fault. Hardy responded that it would have come out eventually and Hardy didn't want people thinking he was at fault for their breakup.

Hardy then discussed his firing, saying that Johnny Ace called him when he was ready to come back to inform Hardy he was being released because creative has nothing for him. Hardy said that he didn't buy that and questioned it had nothing to do with the Edge-Lita situation. He said that Adam Copeland and Lita were in the wrong with Copeland committing adultery, but he was the one who was fired. He said that Copeland and Dumas should have been sent home, not him.

Lita then asked Hardy why she would want to be with him after "a rant like this." Hardy said that he doesn't want to be with her anymore, but he's a vindicative person. He said he put her in front of his career and said he came to Raw only because he wanted to be with her to make their schedules better, even though "it was a career killer" for him. He said he would get retribution against Lita, Edge, and WWE.

Hardy mentioned that his no compete clause has expired and plugged his shows this weekend, calling Ring of Honor "A real wrestling promotion with no soap opera storylines."

Lita tried to cut Hardy off as he began questioning her about their relationship, "What went wrong with us?" Lita then said she didn't want to talk about it because it was personal, and when he pushed the issue, she removed her mic and walked off the set.

Hardy plugged his websites and said, "See you at Ring of Honor." WWE.com then ended the show after 27 minutes due to Lita "walking off the show."

Prior to Hardy calling in, Lita addressed the situation saying that she doesn't sign autographs anymore because of the situation. She regretted the way she went about things but she doesn't regret being with Edge because she's in love with him. When asked about Edge being married, Lita said that wasn't a question anyone but Edge could answer and she wasn't going to comment on it because "It's personal."

She also said that the fans chanting does get to her in the ring. She said that she tries to block it but its hard when you have 20,000 fans chanting "You Screwed Matt" in Madison Square Garden without knowing what's going on. She said she just wants to go out there from 9 PM to 11 PM and entertain, but it's hard to do when people are doing this.

I find it odd that Matt would insult ROH like that. Because if this is a work, he was mocking ROH and lying about them being better and using an indy fed as part of a storyline. That doesn't seem right.

Miakal · 07-14-2005, 12:56 AM

ROH is probably just happy to be mentioned.

AudioSavior · 07-14-2005, 12:58 AM

Lo, ya prolly. I am gonna go watch it now and comment further after.

AudioSavior · 07-14-2005, 01:31 AM

My brain hurts after that.

Simon, where did you get that piece at that you posted or did you write it yourself? It left out a lot of what Lita said in the beginning and she makes a lot of valid points. I don't know ifthat was a shoot or a work. I think it was both. I think it was a work as in being setup but a shoot as far as how it unfolds. Never seen anything like this in wrestling so it is hard to know what to make of it. All I do know is that they need a new word for all of this. How about a Shork? lol.

WWE has been kinda in partnership with roh for a lil while now. Matt isnt insulting roh, he loves there product. Quite frankly its good for roh and wwe.

AudioSavior · 07-14-2005, 01:44 AM

What I mean by insulting is that he is saying it is better than WWE and puts over ROH but in reality he is leaving them to be with a company he is saying he hates and doesn't want to be in lol.

Creature of the Night · 07-14-2005, 10:16 AM

Blurs the lines between fiction and reality. A great thing from an involving storyline standpoint for me. You look at it, Matt isn't really pissing on RoH at all... he's saying he's with WWE to make money. Nobody in RoH wouldn't bust a nut to work in WWE for a payday, and he's no different.

The Phantom · 07-14-2005, 10:29 AM

I liked the fact that Matt addressed the reason why he called Lita, Lita, and not Amy since he called Edge Adam. At least it tied up that end. I'm totaly loving this angle.

Dr. Giganto · 07-14-2005, 10:35 AM

Yeah, I'm sure ROH is loving the publicity. Regardless if Hardy ever goes back there or not, they had a show plugged in front of 15,000 live fans, and millions more watching at home.
