TNA News: Matt Hardy lashes out at a fan, thanks others for supporting him

Former TNA wrestler Matt Hardy posted his first Twitter messages since his arrest on Saturday. "Thanks to all who have reached out to me recently," Hardy wrote. He stated that he received 167 text messages, 100 emails, 38 voice mails, and 17 missed calls, and vowed that he would return them all.

Hardy also responded to a fan who insulted him. "Please bet against me and insult and have fun at my expense," Hardy wrote. "You you've never done anything and never will. While I sit home with enough money to last two lifetimes."

Hardy went back to thanking friends and family. "And I couldn't have made it without my loved ones dragging (me) to a hospital, that includes Jeff and Beth Hardy, my baby Reby (Sky)," he wrote. "Thank you all so much." Follow Hardy on Twitter at Twitter.com/MattHardyBrand.

Powell's POV: Where do those who took him up on the pre-TNA "bet against me" lines go to collect their winnings? In all seriousness, I hope Matt gets it together and does go on to prove a lot of people wrong. It would be great if the events of this past weekend serve as a wake up call.
