MATT HARDY CALLS INTO BYTE THIS TO "CONFRONT" LITA, LITA SAYS FAN CHANTS GET TO HER, HARDY CALLS ROH "A REAL WRESTLING COMPANY", LITA WALKS OFF SHOW
by Mike Johnson @ 6:46:00 PM on 7/13/2005


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 watched Byte this today it was really good! Matt Hardy called in was the best part of it and Lita just walks off around 3 mins berfore the end of the interview and Matt Hardy was talking about his new reality show you can see it at thematthardyshow.com

Where did you watch Byte this? Is it on a Foxtel Channel or something?

You can hell tell now that this is a show! WWE would have delibratley set this up..

Of all of the fans ringing up to speak to Lita as if Matt Hardy was the first one to be able to get through! Highly unlikely! I rekon it is all a set up for sure!

[Lance]

Byte This is an internet talk show, Foxtel doesn't have it I think. I doubt the whole Matt Hardy thing was set up, because fans are able to ring up and also Lita walked out over 5 minutes early because Matt was making it too personal, and also he was calling Lita Amy, and Edge Adam.

Yeah but that could just be the whole internet angle to get the fans involoved.. and Matt could be using his online fans to bring them back to wrestling cause the ratings are down.

I recently joined WNA Forums and I was just reading through all their Matt Hardy Threads and most of them think that this is the angle they are using because they wanna start to relate through their internet audience and bring them out for ratings...

Its too hard to tell what is actually happening so we will have to wait until after summerslam cause I can almost guarantee WWE will give Hardy a match against Edge at Summerslam or Raw's next PPV after that..

Matt Hardy's countless interuptions will hopefully get him a match!

No, most people think Matt rang up himself and WWE just let it happen, using him to gain advantage.

Most people think different to that on the whole subject on WNA. Most think Vince is trying to use the internet as his advantage as he is sick of all the rumor sites and all the smarks.

I very Likely doubt its all been planned and set up. Sureley Matt wouldn't do a storyline with the guy that stole his wife it just wouldn't be right,

[[D619S-Arrow]]

Well maybe the whole cheting outside outside of wrestling is a storyline aswell?

It could be another angle WWE are using at the internet audience! Get Matt to pretend all of this and all of the fans will get behind him and in will come the ratings!

We dont know what the story is or will be till the future unfolds..
