On this date in WWE history: Matt Hardy is future endeavored

One year ago today, on Oct. 15, 2010, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) released Matt Hardy -- and wished him the best in his future endeavors.

It was news that shocked no one, including "The Angelic Diablo," who quickly tweeted his reaction:

"Thank God! :) I swear.. It was harder for me to get released then 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, & I thank all the people & friends that helped me there. But I HAD to move on to be happy. I wanna thank JR, who hired me, Michael Hayes, who taught me SO much, & Vince, for letting me make a living & learn from him for 12 years. While some of you may look at this as an ending -- I promise you, this is THE [expletive] BEGINNING FOR MATT HARDY! Now I can create change!"

Hardy would later sign with TNA and fail miserably, eventually getting arrested, fired, and future rehabbed. Anyone looking to boost their own self esteem can do so by reading all the gory details right here.
