Matt Hardy Taking Time Off?, Hall Enters WWE Sponsored Rehab

Posted by Marc Middleton on Monday, August 16th, 2010

– Matt Hardy noted on his Twitter account on Saturday that he will likely be taking some time away from the squared circle as a result of WWE’s ’stringent health and wellness policies’.

“Thx 4 everyone who has been concerned about my foot being jammed between the steel steps,” Hardy wrote. “It was bad-it felt like my foot was bein cut off. Didn’t plan to take my boot off, but I had to immediately see how bad my foot was injured. Keep in mind, it bled thru my sock & ankle tape.

“I will most likely have to miss some ring time due to WWE’s stringent health & wellness policies. I’m sorry if I do guys & gals.”

– New Jersey based promotion Pro Wrestling Syndicate issued the following statement concerning former WWE performer Scott Hall:

Scott Hall was booked as our Guest Commissioner for this Sunday’s Pro Wrestling Syndicate event in Fairfield, Connecticut.

I just received a phone call from Hall’s booking agent Lenny informing me that Hall has been sent to a 50 day mandatory rehab facility in Texas by his probation officer. I am being told that the WWE is funding Hall’s rehab.

That being said, Scott Hall will not be appearing at PWS this Sunday or at any of his other scheduled bookings this weekend which includes a wrestling show in Brooklyn and several autograph signings.

    weird..
    What would WWE expect from Hall with this?
    Could this mean he could be going into the HOF?

    WWE has been doing this a for a few years now. It doesnt mean they are looking to do anything with them. Guys like Waltman and Jake Roberts have all been through it as well.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that WWE’s wellness policy actually covered talent which had also left the company. Might be a case of the probition officer got in touch with WWE and the obliged through their policy.

    Man I wish Scott Hall could overcome his demons, I really despise seeing wrestlers in these types of conditions especially when I grew up watching these guys. I’ll be rooting for him again this time though. Hope he gets through.
