Shane Helms as The Hurricane in WWE

In the last day or so, even before he was hospitalized for whatever happened today, some of Matt Hardy's close friends are have started to admit that there's something not right about how he's been acting.

Long-time friend Shane Helms said the following to Brian Fritz in an interview on his Between The Ropes podcast:

"Matt is going through a time right now. I can't get down there and I can't move as much. I wish I was there to talk to him in person so I could get a better gauge of what's going on. I worry about Matt … a lot. It's kind of flipped because Jeff is now … Jeff has everything together now. He's really a good father, a really great person.

[...]

And now it just seems like the shoe is on the other foot and Matt is having his difficulties. I'm not even sure what they are. I have an idea but that's not for me to say. He's my friend so it's probably something that, honestly, I wouldn't say anything. But I do worry about him as I would worry about any friend or loved one."

This is a noticeable change from the attitude that Helms had displayed on his Twitter account, where, in spite of Hardy endangering many people's lives in by driving while impaired, he tweeted messages like this:

Meanwhile, Matt Hardy's girlfriend Reby Sky alluded to Matt's problems when answering questions on her Formspring account:

"Q: You seriously must have the patience of a saint. Kudos and respect to you.

A: I'm really, really trying here. Thank you.

Q: Tell me something funny that happened recently.

A: Jeff made a pretty funny comment in the hospital yesterday. Other than that, NOTHING funny has happened recently.

A: Is today going any better?

Q: Every day for the last week has been worse than the previous. Every day is the worst day of my life."

This is an important change. If his loved ones are now trying to get him help, then maybe it's now a little bit more likely that he will.
