Gregory Helms comments on Matt Hardy suicide note: 'Don't believe the hype'

Scream all you want, Matt, we're done listening to you.

Just a short while ago, embattled former WWE and TNA mid-card wrestler Matt Hardy posted an apparent suicide note on his Twitter, linking out to a YouTube video that can be seen here. In it he said the following:

"Goodbye, World ... My time here is Almost complete ... I only have a few Hours and minutes ... I loved you all ... Regardless of how You felt about me ... I'll miss you all ... Sept. 23, 1974 - Aug. 31, 2011."

Shortly after that, Beth Britt, wife of Matt's brother, Jeff Hardy, posted on her Twitter the following:

"When the cops show up to our house at 11 pm, for a 'suicide call' the fucking joke is over @MATTHARDYBRAND. Stop trying to work the Internet."

And, finally, weighing in on the subject was close friend of Matt's, Gregory Helms, who also took to Twitter to say:

"Don't believe the hype. And please don't bash me for it! I didn't do it, had nothing to do with it."

Here's what I will say about this. Matt Hardy making a conscious decision to "work the Internet," as Britt called it, by posting a suicide note when everyone and their mom is already extremely worried about his well being is the lowest form of gimmickry and the weakest attempt to gain attention for himself that I've ever seen.

And if this is really just a full blown work on Hardy's part, this will be the very last time he appears on Cageside Seats in any capacity, other than when absolutely necessary. I will not contribute to this man's self-destruction because he likes to exploit "dirt sheets" for page hits.

Newsflash, Matt: You have almost no affect on our bottom line. There are minimal gains to posting anything about you in the first place. Clean yourself up, get off Twitter and YouTube and get out of the wrestling business. We'll all be better off for it.

We're having this conversation on gchat but may as well make it public

Fuck Gregory Helms. This isn’t matter of “not my fault”. Your friend is a sick fuck. He needs help and by trying to pass the buck, you’re a fucking asshole.

Also fuck Matt Hardy. I have friends who have committed suicide and who have spoken about suicide. It isn’t something to joke about.

I’m happy that Geno is putting this ban on Matt Hardy. Hopefully the other sites out there do the same because this guy isn’t going to get the help he needs if he keeps getting the attention he’s getting.

I had to comment on this

There have been too many sudden and early deaths in wrestling for this shit to stand. This is beyond sick. If this does in fact turn out to be some bullshit, get attention from the internet then Matt Hardy should be black listed from wrestling for life. I’m sick of seeing wrestlers die young. I’m sick of watching people in this industry self destruct. Real or fake this guy needs help, and the biggest way we can help him right now is not giving him the attention he doesn’t deserve. I fully support a flat out ban of Matt Hardy not just across the entire IWC, but across the entire wrestling industry as well. Both him and Jeff need to get out of the cycle that’s killing them both. Legit or not, there are plenty of people and enablers to blame. This entire Hardy saga has been depraved.

As Matthew posted above

Fuck Shane Helms. Dude is just a douche. He gets all uppity every time anyone says anything negative about someone in his inner circle of douche baggy friends, and I’m tired of his holier-than-thou attitude.

I also commend Geno for his stance on Matt Hardy from here on out. I’ve tried not to comment on him at any point because 1) I’ve never really liked him 2) I didn’t want to pile on and repeat what others were saying and 3) he craves this attention, even if it’s negative. Fuck Hardy and fuck Helms.

I'd be for a ban on the trivial things

About the hours and minutes countdown

Someone on an image board pointed out that the hours and minutes referred to in the “suicide video” are a countdown to Jeff’s birthday. After a quick google, Jeff Hardy was born on Aug 31st, 1977. So yeah, fuck Matt Hardy.
