Breaking News: Matt Hardy First Comment After Release

The following is a press release from WWE:

WWE has come to terms on the release of Matt Hardy, effective as of October 15, 2010. WWE wishes Matt Hardy the best in his future endeavors.

Nobody is surprised, as Hardy has been talking frequently about leaving WWE and joining his brother in TNA.  However, it is unknown whether or not Matt has a 90-day no compete clause. I imagine he does.

Matt has already began tweeting about the issue and had the following to say:

"Thank God! I swear, it was harder for me to get released than it was to get hired! This is absolutely what I want, now I can be me!"

"I wanna thank WWE for giving me an opportunity, and I thank all the people and friends that helped me there. But I had to move on to be happy."

"I wanna thank J.R, who hired me, Michael Hayes, who taught me so much, and Vince for letting me make a living and learn from him for 12 years."

"While some of you look at this as an ending, I promise you this is the muthaf---ing beginning for Matt Hardy. Now I can create change! Although WWE gave me so much, I honestly feel like a prisoner set free. Now I have no more strict rules, personal or creative, to be bound by."

"I want to change the business in many area, the way workers are treated and think, and how to live happily outside of the machine. I'm excited!"

I'm going to have ALOT more to say about this sometime this weekend. I plan to write an article about Hardy regarding his release and future. Stay tuned.
