[WWE] Matt Hardy Health Update, ECW vs. RAW & More

Archive

– Matt Hardy has posted pictures of his staph infection here and here, perhaps to counter rumors that he was taken off of TV for reasons other than the infection (which is the reason reported by his Web site).

– SLAM! Wrestling has a story up saying WWE’s Wellness Policy is working, which can be found here.

– CM Punk was Joey Styles’ Most Extreme Player this week — the commentary is a good read as always — and ECW.com has posted an interview with Punk here. In another interesting note, during the RAW/ECW Japan tour October 18-19, Punk is scheduled to take on Randy Orton on the October 19 show, billed as “RAW vs. ECW.” “Inter-brand” matches scheduled for the show also include Kurt Angle and Big Show vs. DX, RVD vs. Edge, Kane vs. Test vs. Umaga, Dreamer & Balls vs. Spirit Squad, Sabu vs. Nitro and Carlito & Torrie Wilson vs. Mike Knox and Kelly Kelly. Complete lineups available on WWE.com.

– Jerry Lawler is hosting a Tennessee hot body contest at the ECW house show. A story on that is here.

– Tazz’ latest audio commentary is here, where he talks about Jeff Hardy, Punk, running more ECW shows in smaller venues and more.

Matthew Michaels is editor emeritus of Pulse Wrestling, and has been since the site launched.
