Quote:Earlier today it was reported that Matt Hardy was scheduled to be the one to "injure" Rey Mysterio on TV, before starting a program with Edge. In the end, WWE decided to give that role to Albert. More details have now been made available.

Apparently, Matt Hardy got the call just a few hours before the SmackDown! taping on Tuesday that he would not be a part of the angle. This, as evident in his commentary, really upset him. And, I'm hearing that more than a few backstage were also disappointed with Matt Hardy losing the chance to do the program, as they feel Matt and Edge mesh much better in the ring than Albert and Edge do.

However, it is also known that WWE has a soft spot for "big men" and will give them extra chances to excel, as opposed to smaller talent, who really have to prove themselves on their first shot. Thus, when choosing between Albert and Matt Hardy, WWE went with the bigger talent, a move that many would call traditional.

Paul Heyman, however, is a big fan of Matt Hardy and will likely set him up in an angle on SmackDown! as soon as one is made available. Many do not expect Matt Hardy to become a standard Velocity talent, although that is possible as well.
