Matt Hardy Blogs On Jeff, SSeries, Orton, Mr. Kennedy, Lots More

Matt Hardy has posted an in-character blog talking about why he didn’t interfere with Jeff Hardy’s involvement in last night’s Elimination Chamber Match. Hardy wrote: “At No Way Out in Seattle, I gave you the opportunity to win the WWE Title inside of the Elimination Chamber. I listened very closely to what you had to say on Smackdown last week. You said you were going to “move on” and win the WWE Title regardless of what I wanted. You also mentioned that you hoped this issue between us will one day pass over. So from the bottom of my heart, I didn’t interfere with your Elimination Chamber appearance and/or match. Nor did I need to.. You failed like you always do. I wanted to reinforce to everyone what a failure you truly are-how you can never pull through and succeed in a “big time” atmosphere. How you always choke. It’s nothing new though.” Hardy added: “I’m afraid the WWE is not big enough for the both of us. I recommend you do the smartest thing possible for your life and livelihood right now. And that’s walk out of the WWE and my life. You have until Friday to make your decision.”

WWE has plans to release an DVD anthology box set on the Survivor Series.

Eric passed on a link to a WrestleMania 25 poster making the rounds featuring Steve Austin on the front at this link. Whether this confirms reports that WWE has scheduled an Austin retirement match on the show remains to be seen as it isn’t known if this poster was created by WWE or is a fake. So take it for what it is worth at this point but I’ve definitely heard strong rumblings over the last two weeks that Steve will be a part of the event in some form.

Randy Orton is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Power Slam magazine, which takes a look at the road to WrestleMania.

He will also be at the Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Clippers game at the Toyota Center in Houston, TX between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. to meet fans.
