Matt Hardy posted a new Myspace blog in which he confirms that he recently underwent surgery to repair a torn abdominal muscle. "Yes, the rumors are true, I had some major surgery a couple of day ago," Hardy wrote. "The triple threat match against MVP and Kofi in Green Bay was the straw that broke the camel's back. In a few days, I'm gonna blog on my WWE Universe page and fill everyone in on everything.

"But here's a little taste of how tough and annoying the last 2 years of my life has been. For two years, I've been working with a slight abdominal tear, a genetic defect that I was actually born with. Even though we torture ourselves every night in that ring for each of your guy's entertainment.. But don't get me wrong, we love it and chose to do it. The tear hasn't been anything that has really over-affected me performance-wise.. Until.. My appendectomy. From when I returned in April 2008, my abdominal tear became gradually worse. I was having a U.S. Title run I was very proud of.. So I sucked it up!...

"The night in Green Bay, when Kofi gave me a cross body from the top rope, my intestines exploded out through my abdominal wall.. And not just in one spot, but in two spots. I had to have it fixed, or face major health problems.. Problems that could have killed me." To read the full blog, visit Matt's Myspace Page.

Powell's POV: Hardy also fired back at online critics who have pointed out his weight gain and noted that he hasn't been able to do a sit-up for the last two years because of the injury. He also noted that he will be posting a WWE Universe blog in the next few days with additional details. Here's to a speedy and full recovery.
