– WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross was asked on Wednesday about Matt Hardy’s disturbing “Goodbye” YouTube video. Many fans mistook the video for a suicide letter and called 911, which led police to visit Matt Hardy’s home to check on him and declare that he is “fine.” The video was later revealed to be a hoax – and the storyline death of Matt’s “Matthew Hardy” alter ego.
Jim Ross responded to the fiasco on Twitter, responding to a fan who asking him about the situation. Ross tweeted:
“Embarrassingly bad publicity stunt by all accounts.”
He later added:
“Matt Hardy fiasco totally embarrassing and inexplicable. Alleged suicide Youtube got him noticed… sadly in absurd way. Matt, seek answers.”
