- Matt Hardy has revealed more about his knee injuries on his Myspace. Jim Ross alluded to it in a recent blog. Matt isn’t expect to take any time but he wrote:

“I fortunately retained the ECW Championship in a hard-hitting, fantastic match against the veteran Irishman. Unfortunately, something none of you at home witnessed-because it happened during a commercial break period-was me painfully hyper-extending my surgically repaired left knee. I continued that match without acknowledging it to anyone but knew I had hurt it. After the match, I was examined and diagnosed with a slightly torn PCL and stretched ligaments in the back of my knee. I could finished the tour out, but had to do some major treatment, wrapping and bracing of my knee. And by the way, I thought going into this day I had tomorrow off because it was a Smackdown only taping. I find out at the end of the night I’m needed tomorrow for both episodes of Smackdown. I guess that’s what you get for being a WORKHORSE, HA! Now I already have the stress of an extremely hard trip plus a knee injury. Welcome to the wrestling business boys and girls. I felt much better when I got back to the hotel, my Smackdown crew got in, and the ECW, Raw, and Smackdown crews hit the hotel bar. I think the entire WWE drank every ounce of alcohol and liquor in Manchester that night! LOL!

Day 6
Manchester, England – I wake up and my knee feels absolutely horrible. I can barely walk. It’s one of those moments when I ask myself how am I gonna do this.. How am I gonna perform tonight. After soaking and icing and treating and wrapping and bracing my knee thoroughly, somehow I do. I wrestled Shelton Benjamin in a Champion versus Champion match and came out victorious. I thought it was a helluva match as well. In case you’re wondering, I was in excruciating pain the whole time. I also wrestled another tag match that will be featured on this week’s Smackdown. I also wanna tell everyone that I was extremely proud of Jeff on this day as he had possible his best TV day performance EVER. That night, a little social time was had-but I actually got a good night’s sleep. I had to-my knee and my performances for the week were depending on it.”

- “The Soup” on E! which features various clips from TV in the week showed the segment from Monday’s Raw where Randy Orton and Manu were nose to nose backstage, with Cody Rhodes closely behind Manu. They were clearly mocking the segment which featured several strange grunts. [I have to admit it was pretty icky to watch].

- ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — A thief was captured on surveillance video smashing a window of a former pro wrestler’s Altamonte Springs gym and stealing a plasma TV and computer, police said. The break-in occurred Wednesday at Marc Mero’s “Body Slam.” Mero said he is grateful that dozens of pictures and memorabilia of his days as a professional wrestler were not stolen.
