Guest Gatornibs Report post Posted March 15, 2005 IS IT A WORK? http://www.kevseconds.com/viewtopic.php?t=1131&si The official message board for punk band Seven Seconds posted a photo of Matt Hardy and Lita together at their Carboro, North Carolina concert last Thursday 3/10. Considering the current Internet buzz over their personal issues, that's an interesting development. You can check out the photo and a posting by the band's Kevin Seconds at this link noting the two were together at the show. DISCUSS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted March 15, 2005 Eh... I'm sure WWE doesn't have anything better to do than do a worked backstage angle between a Jobber, an injured "lover of a lot of sex", and a goofy looking Canadian. I can understand doing it with people the fans actually cared about, but either way... meh. I don't watch RAW for any of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NYU 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 Matt's response to the picture: Since I figured Amy and I attending the 7 seconds show would eventually come out, here is the deal. Amy and I talked about some things that night and went to the show. Kevin Seconds asked us to take a picture with him, which we gladly did. Remember my post about mistakes? As far as not attending events, no one has ever been worried about Amy and I getting into a physical confrontation. Like I said before, as upset as I may be with Amy, I obviously still care and hopes she clears her head--for her sake. I wish all of this was a work.

Styles 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 If you had read Matt Hardy's board you'd see that he had explained it already. Could you, like post the relevant part, because I'm not sifting through that board. EDIT: NEVER MIND. It's not a work because a work would be used to lead to a match and on screen feud. It hasn't been acknoledged on screen, Edge is in his own match. Matt is being kept away and both major newsletters swear all their sources say it's not a work.

Guest Brian Report post Posted March 15, 2005 Nothing is below Vince doing. If he thought he could work us, he'd do this just to work us. He doesn't need to get a match out of it, because he already assumes were the slightest of minorities within the fanbase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, I don't think Vince would be above using it if he thought he could make money by exploiting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cawthon777 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 If this were Vince Russo and not McMahon, yeah, ok, I could see it perhaps being a work or at least having it turn into a worked shoot on some level. Russo would do that because Russo is an idiot and will leave 80% of his audience confused by speaking directly to the smarks. McMahon does not nor will he ever cater specifically towards the internet wrestling community. The IWC is not the answer to Vince's financial woes. And this is the kind of story where if you're not online or if you don't read the sheets, you have no clue as to what the story is. It's not easily accesible to the general audience.

Guest Brian Report post Posted March 15, 2005 I'm not saying Vince would try to turn a profit on this. I'm saying the man is sadistic enough to pull something just to fuck with the IWC. Russo would definately try to work this into a feud, McMahon is the kind of motherfucker that'll be laughing in the office over how seriously we take this shit.

If you're a casual fan that thinks Batista has huge freaking arms and needs to kick Triple H's teeth in, you may or may not use your time online to go searching for news and rumors. The story has not hit the casual crowd to the extent it needs to for any $$$ to be made. I went to a show in Greensboro last week that had Edge on the card. One guy in the front row held up a sign regarding the situation but, from looking at the audience, I can guarantee you that probably a third to half of them didn't even have a computer. So I don't think they were up to speed. I regard those people as being part of the "general audience". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 If it was a work, then don't you think that in order to make it look as legitimate as possible that Matt and Lita would avoid being together in any form of public venue and avoid any situation where they might be photographed together ? Not only that, if it was a work, then once it came out it was one, Matt would kill off his entire internet fanbase in one go, and his official site would die off. Matt isn't the kind of wrestler to screw his fans like that, just to get over an angle such as this one. It isn't a work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 I'm just surprised that a hick like Matt Hardy digs 7 Seconds. Lita, I'm not surprised since people have talked about her connections with the DC punk scene, but Matt? No way I'd have guessed him to be a 7 Seconds fan. Use your head. Be aware. Give a fuck.

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 It makes no sense for this to be a work, because, in storyline terms, Lita has nothing to do with Matt Hardy anymore, and is married to Kane. Why run any sort of angle that completely fucks with the storyline of another angle? I mean, I know this is the WWE, but I don't think even they would be that silly.

Guest jumpingbombangel Report post Posted March 16, 2005 am i the only one who noticed that Amy apprently did a STAGE DIVE...with leg injury? and matt looks weird. Wonder what's going through his mind at the time that picture was taken? Seriously, that photo alone just took away Matt Hardy's right to balls for an indefinite amount of time. He's just been cuckolded by a skank (is that the flipside of "touched by an angel?") and then he wants to be not only seen in public with her afterward but yukking it up for a photo op too? Bear in mind this is right after he removes all said cuckolding skank's pictures from his website cause he can't stand to look at her or some weak drama like that. I do believe this whore Lita has driven Matt Hardy out of his damn mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
