Later that night, Matt Hardy put everything on the line for the sake of his brother, battling tenaciously with the mighty Moscow Mauler, Vladimir Kozlov, while keeping one eye on the clock. The Extreme champion’s endurance paid off, as time expired without a winner, thereby sealing the door shut on Kozlov’s opportunity to be part of the Armageddon main event.

After a grueling match, Triple H hit the Gold Standard with a Pedigree. However, WWE Official Mike Chioda had been knocked out, and struggled through glazed eyes to finally deliver the three-count. However, after raising The Game’s hand in triumph, indicating that he had beaten the clock, a second WWE Official, Charles Robinson ran down to dispute the outcome. The two officials came to the consensus that Triple H and Jeff Hardy had earned their win in exactly the same amount of time, 12:13, leading with the decision of a Triple Threat Match between Edge, Triple H and Jeff Hardy for the WWE Championship on Armageddon.

Backstage Reaction To WWE's Jeff Hardy Survivor Series Storyline

There were a lot of rolled eyes backstage in WWE on Sunday as employees began to find out the truth about the WWE.com Jeff Hardy stunt.

Many WWE workers and management initially had no idea what was going on (they were not told ahead of time) and had to make worried phone calls to check on Hardy, only to find out it was a storyline. Even some of Jeff’s closest friends inside and outside of wrestling initially thought the worst. Hardy himself didn’t know how serious the article would be written on the website and probably assumed they’d throw something in there to give away that it was a storyline.

The fact that they played off Hardy’s real life “demons” to create an exploitative storyline that not only seemed real but had the possibility of being real going by Hardy’s admitted problems makes it a cruel and shameful act.

WWE.com posted the following early Sunday morning:

"BOSTON – Jeff Hardy was found unconscious in a stairwell at his hotel in Boston today, and was rushed to the nearest emergency room.

Due to privacy issues, WWE is not releasing the name of the hospital.

WWE.com will have more information if it becomes available.

update:
WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Relations, John Laurinaitis has been in contact with Jeff, who has been released from the hospital. Laurinaitis is investigating the incident. It is questionable as to whether or not Jeff Hardy will perform tonight."

Multiple reporters have contacted sources and it appears to be a work to perhaps hype up tonight's WWE Survivor Series PPV. Several sources have confirmed this as a storyline and that Hardy will be selling the injuries during tonight's Survivor Series PPV when he takes part in a triple threat with Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov for the WWE Title.

The Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online reports that there is some speculation this storyline could lead to a feud between Edge and Jeff Hardy with Edge acting as the culprit. While nothing is confirmed at this point, there was talk of Edge vs. Hardy at the Royal Rumble PPV and Edge did fly from Tampa to Boston last night for the PPV.

As reported by wrestlingtruth.com Hollywood actor Freddie Prinze, Jr. had signed with the WWE to be on the creative team. He is a lifelong fan and has wanted to be involved for years. But never really had the chance until now.

He actually was one of the main guys behind Jeff Hardy’s new attitude, which is perhaps the greatest thing to happen to Hardy in years and could be a sign of more good things to come.

Wrestlers have nothing but good things to say about Prinze Jr, saying he is very accessible and receptive to ideas and input, which a lot of other creative team members are not.

Its said to be a strange situation where the other writers “suck up” to him because of he’s famous, but he doesn’t abuse this, instead using his power to actually do good by the wrestlers.

Prinze currently works on the Smackdown brand alongside Michael Hayes.

This is showing fans that he is a great writer and can bring more to the table than just a being a consultant. Which is something I was worried he would do. I was hoping the would get out there with a good storyline, and he did.

Although it happened very fast for me. Some writers don't get main event type stuff until years into the company, but Prinze Jr. has exceeded that. That is something he can hang his hat on.

start of the show

A video recaps us on what transpired last week with Jeff Hardy asking Vickie Guerrero for another shot at the WWE Championship because he was so close and he knows he can beat Triple H. Vickie says she doesn’t think he has what it takes and he isn’t that extreme anymore! This leads to Hardy getting him and Triple H disqualified against Miz and Morrison because he assaults them with chairs. Vickie says this is good but not good enough so Hardy comes out and hits Kozlov with a chair, giving him the number one contendership, and he subsequently hits the Undertaker! Jeff Hardy then tells Vickie to put him in an Extreme Rules Match against the Undertaker!!

No pyrotechnics tonight as we enter the arena in Manchester, England with the lights all blue with monk music playing and in the center of the ring is a casket! The Undertaker speaks but we don’t see him.

Undertaker says, “Some men are born into the darkness in all it’s purity – they are the world’s punishers. Others foolishly seek out darkness, sick with malicious ambition. Big Show, I am the punisher born of darkness and you have foolishly found me. This is how your story ends. Here in this cold dark emptiness. You will hear no sound. No sound but your own muffled screams. You will feel your pulse quicken. You will have no sight for that is what darkness takes from those unworthy and in that abyss I will punish you for all of your sins. That is your fate – sealed by your own hands. Death forgives no man. And when that casket is buried with you six feet under, I’ll drag your soul down – down to the depths of Hell!” At this point the casket lid opens and Undertaker sits up! He cut the whole promo in the casket!

All of a sudden we hear someone mocking Undertaker by saying that was very scary but he should be concerned about tonight! We see on the titantron someone with their head down. Undertaker should be concerned with him – Jeff Hardy! Hardy now lifts his head and he’s covered in pretty weird looking face paint accented by a black light. I recommend looking at the pictures on WWE.com.

Hardy questions if he should be sorry for interrupting him. He asks if he should be sorry for being himself, for being human. Hardy says he’s tired of being sorry. He says Taker may see the world in light and darkness, black and white. It’s not that simple for he lives in a world of gray. That’s what allows him to do things others can’t do. It’s what allows him to fall and get back up! He’s lived his whole life off pure emotion and tonight that emotion, rage, recklessness and insanity will beat him! He has nothing to lose because tonight is extreme! This was really good.

Undertaker coldly looks at him and says “So it will be, Jeff Hardy. Tonight you will REST… IN… PEACE!” The thunder hits and Undertaker rolls his eyes back.

Triple H and Kozlov signing

Vickie Guerrero begins her introduction of Vladimir Kozlov and the crowd boos loudly. He is one of the most dangerous men in WWE; he is the undefeated Moscow Mauler – Vladimir Kozlov! Kozlov ditched his granny panties and comes out wearing jeans, a shirt and a sports coat. He actually looks human.

Vickie now introduces the twelve time champion, Cerebral Assassin, King of Kings, The Game – Triple H! Triple H comes out in jeans, his Triple H shirt and his trusty leather jacket that every manly man should wear. He is also wearing glasses because it’s bright in the building.

Triple H starts off by saying that being in the ring right now is special to him. It’s like the United Nations – a representative from Russia (Kozlov), a representative from Mexico (Chavo) and a representative from Fat-labia! Vickie is not pleased. Triple H laughs, apologizes and corrects his error – she’s from Bulge-garia!

Vickie yells to get back to business and excuses herself again! Triple H then says he’s just kidding and says she’s from Chunky-slavakia. Ok… Triple H says we can now get to business.

Vickie asks both men to take a seat. Neither moves for a moment and then Triple H sits down. Kozlov eventually follows. Vickie explains the contract for the WWE Championship at Survivor Series. Since Kozlov is the challenger he can sign first. Kozlov signs and the match is official on his part. Kozlov begins speaking but I seriously can’t understand what he said.

Triple H asks if anyone picked that up which elicits laughs. Triple H mentions that there are 15,000 people in the arena and no one knows what he just said! Kozlov tells him to shut up and listen carefully! Triple H says that he listens to him. He can sit there with that angry look on his face and the Soviet Union eyes but he knows the real story. This isn’t his first bar-b-q. He’s been on a worldwide stage before, he’s main evented a Pay Per View with the WWE Championship on the line but Kozlov never has. Triple H begins talking about butterflies but stops and moves away from the table.

Behind Kozlov we see Jeff Hardy climb to the top rope! Kozlov turns and Jeff Hardy flies off and clotheslines Kozlov through the table!! Hardy then takes the contract, rips it up and throws it in Triple H’s face!! He then leaves the ring with his crazy face paint from before still on!!

JR questions if this is a sign of things to come when Jeff Hardy takes on the Undertaker tonight in an Extreme Rules match!
