Matt Hardy’s latest MySpace blog entry talks about his desire at winning the World Title:

As of today, Thursday, May 17th, 2007, I am on a QUEST to be the BEST. What I mean when I say that is very simple–I’m on a journey to be the very best there is in the professional wrestling/sports entertainment business. I feel like every week I’m one of the most consistent and entertaining performers in the WWE. And I’m only gonna get better. As long as God is with me and I don’t suffer any serious injuries. There was a ton of feedback from my first “Will Not Die-aries”, stemming from my goal of winning the World Heavyweight Championship. Some people believe in me, some don’t… story of my life. I believe in me, and alot of good people do, and that’s all that matters. I’m fully focusing towards becoming the man on Smackdown. Whether I win, lose, or draw, I wanna be the star of the show, the best match every night. And ultimately, I wanna be the World Champion. I have World Tag Team Title commitments on Raw now, but I’m staying strictly a singles act on Smackdown. I’ve let the powers that be know that I want big time, main event matches every week. I’m ready to shatter through the glass ceiling and never come back. So it starts now for me–the QUEST to be the BEST!
