Matt Hardy Releases 'Mission Statement' Via Facebook

Matt Hardy released a mission statement via Facebook Saturday proclaiming that he will no longer be turbulent with his life. He wrote,

MY MISSION STATEMENT

"My turbulent time in life is done. I will not be negative again. I will not be stained by hate again. I will not use poor judgment again. I will not be hypocritical, and I will always try to be brutally honest with everyone I interact with. Without going into intricate details now, last Thanksgiving I had a vision that led me to believe I have a purpose to serve in this life. Everyday it becomes more of a reality. My body is slowly becoming healthy again.. It's time for me to utilize it by realizing it's current maximum potential and by being disciplined in doing so. I can make a difference because of the experiences I've learned from my victories and my failures. And I will. I refuse to let ANYONE or ANYTHING detour me from what the future holds for me. This has caused changes in my life and may mean more.. But if God and the bigger plan calls for it, then so be it. If you've believed in me throughout my ups and downs, thank you so much for your support. If you believed in me, and then I lost your faith, I understand. I hope you and any non-believers or pessimistic skeptics will follow me in the future. I hope to change your minds. Regardless, I have to do what I know is right-for me, for my loved ones, and my true friends. I've been given SO much by SO many people, it's my turn to give back by helping, sharing, and teaching. I know what I have to do in my lifetime.. My name is Matt Hardy and I'm a small-town boy from Cameron, NC with big-time dreams. I take pride in the truth of my own reality-and that empowers me. It's now my time and job now to empower you. Godspeed everyone.

"Matt Hardy."

Backstage Update: Bully Ray's TNA Contract & Future

Bully Ray is currently keeping quiet regarding his status with TNA. He has not answered people that have been asking if he has signed a new deal with the company. Bully Ray will be facing Rob Van Dam in a Bound for Glory Series match on Thursday's iMPACT!. It's interesting to note that Bully Ray's TNA contract expires this week so its possible he's signed a shot-term extension while they try to work out details on a new contract. That is not confirmed though.

Devon stated earlier this week that he was finished with the company. He tweeted the following earlier this week:

I would like to thank the tna fans for making the last seven years fun . im sure we will see each other again down the road real soon.

im ready to see where god bring me to next. i cant wait . i see big thing on the way

o and HELL NO IM NOT RETIRING.

As noted earlier, it would appear that his departure is due to both parties being unable to reach an agreement on a new contract. He re-tweeted a message stating, "I'll say this you boys deserve what ever you're asking for plus 25%." It's possible we'll see him once more on iMPACT! as his contract is still valid through this week.

When asked by a fan if his contract expired, he said simply "Yes".

Devon still holds the TNA TV Title.
