Details On The Miz’s Backstage Heat, Warrior Appearing In NY

— The Miz has as much heat as anyone in WWE, but it has little to do with him not catching R-Truth during the Six-Pack Challenge on last week’s Raw SuperShow. Rather, the animosity is being attributed to his obnoxious behavior as many of his co-workers are turned off by it.

“The feeling is he’s like a little frat boy who is loud and has to be the center of attention,” the Wrestling Observer says.

As reported last week, it is widely believed within WWE that his work has regressed, both in the squared circle and verbally. When he was low on the totem pole, he appeared motivated and forced management to make him a headliner. He is now back to mid-card status and isn’t giving WWE much reason to elevate him again.

— Ultimate Warrior has been announced to appear for Northeast Wrestling on March 23, 2012 at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, New York. He will sign autographs, cut a promo and it’s being teased that he will do something physical.

The show will also feature John Hennigan vs. Dave Finlay and the first-ever match between Melina and Velvet Sky. Matt Hardy, Tommy Dreamer and Jerry Lawler are scheduled to appear as well.

Matt Hardy To Undergo Back Surgery, His Future In Wrestling

Matt Hardy appeared on Busted Open, which airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on Sirius 92 and XM 208 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Highlights from the interview are as follows:

His future in wrestling: “I think there is a future for me in wrestling in some capacity. I have such a new outlook on life after going through such a crazy period, I’ve kind of had a reprieve for a while. At some point I had to face everything and change my life, and I have, and I feel good about where I’m at right now. Wrestling is in me, its in my blood and I think I’ll always be in wrestling in some shape or form. Basically I chalk it up to this, I kind of let God lead me where I’m going to go. After I have back surgery, we’ll see where I stand physically and from that point on I’ll kind of see where the wave takes me.”

If he has used social media in the right way: “There are times when I have, and there are times I’ve used it in the wrong way as well. I feel like I was one of the original guys to take social networking and promoted themselves. Under WWE and I know from being around there a long time, stemming from Vince McMahon and going all the way down, they’ve always wanted control of everything they have, and it’s hard to do that with Twitter or YouTube cause it’s something that you have to go hand in hand with and work with the company. But now they realize its huge deals now and there is money to be made and there is promotion that comes from it, so it’s great that they have embraced it now. But as far as I go there has been a lot of people who tie me in as “The Internet Guy” or “the social media guy” and that’s cool because I do dig that stuff.

Whether he should take a break from social media: “I did for a while but now that I’m here and I’m me, I like getting messages out. There is a lot of people just from Twitter that say “because of this, you’ve been through this and overcame it and you’re doing better and you’re really inspiring me.” There is people out there that I know I can help and touch. That’s one of my main reasons for ever wanting to get into wrestling because I can inspire and help other people. Just being able to do that is important to me. I dig communicating with people and I try to respond to as many fans as I can when I can. It’s just a part of my lifestyle and it’s something I enjoy and I’m really into doing things I enjoy and that is healthy for me.”

The Undertaker’s streak: “To me I don’t think the streak should ever end. I don’t think anyone is going to become a bigger star because they beat the Undertaker. I mean they would become a bigger star but I don’t think its worth sacrificing the streak. I think the streak is as big of an attraction at Wrestlemania as the world title match is. To me when you think of someone as 20-0, that’s almost more important than the world title.

“It almost overshadows everything else. People buy Wrestlemania to see if the streak is going to end. People also buy Wrestlemania to see the Undertaker continue the streak. So to me I don’t think it should end, especially because he is getting towards the end of his career. I have never had more respect for someone in the wrestling business than him. If they were going to try to do it, it would have to be someone that is already over almost on the main event level, almost a new guy that has five, seven, or ten years left in him and I don’t see anyone like that right now.”

The rigors of a full time schedule: “The schedule is very brutal and very tough and you’re obviously beating up and destroying your body. As far as what other people do, it’s not my business to put anyone else’s business out there. But it is a tough gig. The one thing I would say is what I would love to see change in the wrestling business is to just have an off season, because I think guys need time off to heal. I think that would really help slow down the injury process, because once your hurt if you’re on a WWE schedule the only time you get off is if you have surgery.

“Not only do they want you to work, but the mentality is if you can work, you do work

Update On Matt Hardy & “Giants Girl” Reby Sky

The day after the New York Giants thrilling overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers that will send them to the SuperBowl, we’ve got an update on former “Giants Girl” Reby Sky and her boyfriend, Matt Hardy.  Longtime wrestling photographer Bob Mulrenin recently scored an exclusive photo session with Matt Hardy and his “Giants Girl” – and had this to say about their rocky relationship:

“Matt and Reby’s relationship has been the topic of a lot of discussion lately. They’ve been tested severely by being splashed all over the pages of TMZ, but it looks to me like their relationship is as strong as ever!”

Hardy Comments On Past Mistakes, Says He’s Improving Himself

Matt Hardy published a statement on Facebook acknowledging his past mistakes, which in 2011 included two arrests for driving while intoxicated, one arrest for drug possession and one arrest for violating a court order.

The former WWE Superstar wrote, “I have made more than my share of mistakes in life, but those mistakes have also made me into the person I am today. I can’t change my past, so I won’t ever deny it or attempt to hide it either.

“When someone compliments me, I greatly appreciate it. When someone insults me, it doesn’t bother me because I know exactly how good I am and am confident in what I have to offer to others in my life now. No one’s perfect-not me, not you, not anyone. We can all only try and be the best human being we can be.

“I understand my human defects and work on improving them every day. I’ve NEVER been so full of life and had so much excitement for every new day of life. I’ve been given so much in life, it’s time for me to give back.

“Whether you love me or despise me, God bless you all.”

If reports of him penning an autobiography are true: “Not true..more Internet dirt. I’m not in process of writing a book. ‘maybe’ some day.”

If he’d ever join TNA Wrestling: “I’m a WWE guy plus TNA has excellent announcers & they don’t need my services.”

Why Owen Hart is not in the WWE Hall of Fame: “Owen Hart has not been inducted because of potential legal issues w/ his estate, etc.”

Matt Hardy Essentially Forced Into Rehab By Judge

Former WWE & TNA star Matt Hardy recently announced that he’s entering WWE-sponsored rehab, but now a report by North Carolina’s The Pilot newspaper reveals that Hardy’s decision to finally get help was mandated by a judge.

The Pilot reports that Matt Hardy was essentially forced to enter a rehabilitation program following his most recent arrest. Magistrate Charlie Smoak agreed to release the former WWE Superstar on a “promise to appear” in court that was tied to his undergoing treatment for substance abuse.

“That is only part of the release order,” Krueger said. “It also states that he must comply with a treatment program or be placed in the detention center under a $1 million bond.”

On September 14, Moore County deputies searched Hardy’s Cameron, North Carolina home and charged Hardy with possessing a controlled substance with intent to sell or deliver, possessing a controlled substance, maintaining a dwelling for use of drugs and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

Following their search at his residence, deputies said they had discovered “one hit” of the drug known as ecstasy and also found 20 vials of anabolic steroids.

This was his third arrest within a month. On August 19, Hardy crashed his Cadillac into a guard rail on U.S. 1 in Southern Pines but was not cited. The next day, he ran his Corvette into a tree south of Vass. That resulted in a DWI charge.

On September 12, police arrested Hardy outside RDU International Airport Monday afternoon and charged him with driving under the influence. He was given a written promise to appear at the Wake County courthouse in Raleigh on November 30.

Reby Sky Talks About Matt’s Arrest, The Taser Incident, Jeff

Busted Open Interview: Reby Sky
Hosts: Doug Mortman and Dave Lagreca
Busted Open can be heard Monday, Wednesday and Friday on Sirius 94 XM 208

Reby on Matt Hardy’s online videos: “Before he posts every video I give him a talk, and I don’t want to feel like his mother or babysitter or council, but I say Matt maybe this isn’t a good idea. I tell him what I think about it, why I think that way, and he will either take it and say “okay, maybe not” or he will put it up anyway. He’s going to do what he’s going to do. He’s a very strong personality, and obviously that has gotten him to where he’s at now, that’s part of it. He does have a good formula, he takes it a little too far sometimes and gets a little caught up in the attention, but I think now he’s going to be a little smarter about what he posts.”

Reby on the rumors that she led police to Matt’s drugs: It’s just so frustrating, because they just released something that was completely not what I said. It’s pretty clear that Matt’s been needing help, and the other day he was in a bad way and I called for help. Cops came, and all these reports are saying that I led them to some secret cave that contained prescription pills. They never found any prescription pills at all in the house, what they found was steroids. After having to go to the police station to sign all these papers, I come back to my house upside down, there is five men in my kitchen and I am being interrogated. Everything that they needed to find was already found. So it is just a whole bunch of hate mail: Reby you snitch, you’re a rat. At the end of the day I just wanted Matt to get help, I called for Matt to get help, and guess what? He left this morning for WWE sponsored rehab. He is getting help.”

Reby on the Jeff Hardy taser incident: “I have to laugh, because I guess just being in it, it was done for a project called The Hardy Show, which you can find at thehardyshow.com. It’s a variety show with skits, and parodies and stuff like that, it’s kind of like a Jackass program. That was filmed for part of a Hardy show episode. And I guess with all the Jeff stuff that was going on at the time, and the way it was spun, it was in retrospect maybe not the best idea for people who aren’t aware of The Hardy Show and the content that is on there. But like I said, from now on everyone is going to be a lot more careful with anything video wise or Twitter or anything going up on the net.”

Reby on Matt Hardy returning to the ring: A full time wrestling schedule is definitely not in the picture from now on. If you ask him, that’s what he will say led to this whole thing, the full time wrestling schedule and the toll on his body and the sacrifices he had to make. Not that I am justifying anything he has done, because I am definitely not. I will say it over and over I don’t support what he has done but I will support him in bettering himself.”

Reby on Jeff’s return to the ring: “The whole thing with Jeff, we try not to talk about it to not make Matt feel bad, but everyone is very supportive of Jeff and very happy for him. It’s good that there is someone in the group doing good things, I don’t know how to say it. Jeff is completely 180, just a real standup guy and has been so supportive in trying to help Matt in getting things right. So thank God that he is right next to us, thank God for Jeff.”

Reby Sky Denies Snitching On Matt Hardy To Police

This week TMZ.com leaked police documents that stated Matt Hardy’s girlfriend Reby Sky called 911 last week on her boyfriend Matt Hardy, claiming he was “strung out on pills” and needed help. Now, Reby Sky is denying that story – claiming the only reason she led cops to Matt’s drug stash is because they “intimidated and threatened her.”

25-year-old Reby Sky tells TMZ that after Matt was rushed to the hospital for an adverse drug reaction – cops took her to the police station and questioned her about the incident. She claims that she was threatened with jail if she didn’t comply – and would have kept her mouth shut if she knew cops were gathering evidence to obtain a warrant.

Reby told TMZ.com, she “would never do anything to put [Matt] in a compromising position with the law.”

Matt Hardy Checks In The Night Before Entering Rehab

Matt Hardy checked in on Tuesday night with a message on Twitter, the night before entering WWE-sponsored rehab. Hardy wrote:

“Spending one last cozy night with my baby before leaving tomorrow-and BTW, there’s a lot of “Harry Bosco” going on in the media still. “

“Reby & I are very much together & happy, & we both are very grateful that so many people have been so supportive- http://t.co/XWjOwetI Thx!”

Reby Sky Denies Being Arrested For Reckless Driving

Matt Hardy’s girlfriend Reby Sky (real name Rebecca Reyes) has responded to online reports that she was recently arrested and charged with reckless driving. Sky tweeted on Monday afternoon @RebySky:

“So now there’s a rumor that I was arrested this week?” she wrote. “Hold on, let me double check… No.

“I got a speeding ticket rushing to the hospital to get Matt earlier this week. That’s it. God, you people are insane.”

The original story in the Wrestling Globe Newsletter stated that she was arrested on charges of reckless driving, reckless endangering, and speeding.

The North Carolina court system website states that Rebecca Reyes was charged with reckless driving to endanger and speeding. She is due in court on November 2nd.


Matt Hardy’s Girlfriend Reby Sky Arrested For Reckless Driving

Rebecca Reyes (a/k/a Reby Sky), the 25-year-old girlfriend of Matt Hardy, was recently arrested and charged with reckless driving, reckless endangering, and speeding charges.

Reyes, who hosts Lucha Libre USA on MTV2, is scheduled to appear in court on November 2 in Carthage, North Carolina.

This is not the former Playboy model’s first run-in with the law as in 2008, she was sentenced to 12 months’ probation, a $500 fine and 48 hours of community service after resisting arrest when she was pulled over for a broken tail light in December 2007 in Tampa, Florida. While the officer was writing her ticket, Reyes got out of her truck, and refused to get back in when asked, instead allegedly accosting the officer who had pulled her over and another that had arrived on the scene. When Reyes attempted to turn the confrontation physical, she was thrown to the ground and arrested.
