Matt Hardy Talks Injury, Says He Could Have Died

Matt Hardy finally confirmed industry reports of his abdominal injury and surgery, noting that his injury could have been life-threatening.

“Well guys and gals, since the news has been leaked all over the ‘net, I figured I should go ahead and address it truthfully. Yes, the rumors are true, I had some major surgery a couple of day ago. The triple threat match against MVP and Kofi in Green Bay was the straw that broke the camel’s back. In a few days, I’m gonna blog on my WWE Universe page and fill everyone in on everything,” wrote Hardy on his MySpace blog.

Hardy explained that he has been working through a slight abdominal tear for the past two years; a recent appendectomy exacerbated the injury, and his intestines began pushing through his abdominal wall.

“The night in Green Bay, when Kofi gave me a cross body from the top rope, my intestines exploded out through my abdominal wall.. And not just in one spot, but in two spots. I had to have it fixed, or face major health problems.. Problems that could have killed me. So as always, I do what’s good for me, my career, friends, and loved ones,” added Hardy.
