Anybody remember reading about all the heat matt hardy got for ducking out on a spot with Undertaker when taker returned? Remember Taker returned and destroyed everybody in the ring? I hear Matt was supposed to take a bump but left the ring, and then Taker talked down to matt and said he wouldnt work with him and stuff and asked matt what kind of message is he sending to young talent...

That was supposedly the story...the plan was for Undertaker to come into the ring after the Survivor Series 2005 main event and attack everyone while Orton ran away. Matt Hardy felt that getting chokeslammed would hurt his push and Taker didn't agree. When Taker ended up hitting the ring, Matt ducked out of the way and Regal instead took the chokeslam/ Tombstone that Matt was supposed to take. After that incident, Taker said he would never work with Matt Hardy again.
My personal opinion on the matter is that both sides were right in their own ways. Hardy was really over with the crowd at the time since he just finished his program with Edge upon returning to the WWE over the summer, but Undertaker is basically the highest ranking guy in the locker room next to Triple H. What he says pretty much goes...

Whether Mtt hardy felt he was in the middle of a push or not the simple fact is he shouldn't have ducked out of taking a move he was meant to for fear of looking weak, isn't that the sort of behavior that a few years ago HHH got ripped apart for?
Plus in 2005 he wasn't gettoig over, instead he was at the end of his feud with Edge where Edge had been pushed as the star, for the most part Hardy had been jobbed out despite beliefs that this was the feud that would make him a maineventer instead he spent the summer tripping over his words & looking uncomfortable on the mic

Undertaker should realize that he's not going to be around forever, and its about time to push new Talent to the Spotlight, him hogging it for nearly 20 years isn't going to help Young stars who want to make it to the top.

I believe this is also what led to the Hardy/JBL match at Armageddon that year, which if I recall correctly had JBL deliver several stiff shots to Matt throughout the match. |

Yeah, Hardy's match with JBL was supposedly a form of punishment for the SS thing. WWE loves to send messages to talent on air. I think that might be Hardy in the black shirt & hat leaving the ring at 2:25 on the right of the screen. He was like the 2nd to leave after Cowboy Bob. You can see him in the background walking away on the outside at around 2:33/35. It's pretty silly to think a wrestler's credibility can be destroyed with one move no one is going to remember the next week. |

Hardy was the one in the wrong. You should do as you are told. Unacceptable behaviour on his part.

I kinda remember this, but after reading what happened, I'd say Hardy was wrong and should of done as he was told. It wouldn't of made any difference to his status with the fans.

Probably not a huge issue if Taker never works with Hardy again anyway, Taker works like a week a year... so i dont thikn they will cross paths too often!

Plus, it wouldn't ever make sense for them to work, Undertaker is a huge main event babyface and Matt is a midcard babyface and by the time I believe Matt is main eventing, Undertaker will no longer be around.

What do you mean that's not how it went down? If you can't even spot Hardy, then why would you act like you know what happened? |
