Matt Hardy back in jail after failed rehab stint

Matt Hardy is back in jail. 

The former WWE and TNA wrestling star was arrested early Saturday morning after he was reportedly booted from a rehabilitation center after failing a Breathalyzer test, according to TMZ.com and several wrestling websites.

 Hardy, 37, was charged with violation of a court order and as of Tuesday afternoon remained in the Moore County jail on a $1 million secured bond. He was booked into the jail at 1:40 a.m. Saturday.

 Hardy’s girlfriend, Reby Sky, said on social media this weekend that she could have bailed him out but didn’t.

 “I’m reading a lot of ridiculous things on the ‘dirtsheets’ tonight,” she said on Formspring. “So to clear things up: I could have bailed him out and did not. He’s still in jail. Have fun with that.”

 Multiple wrestling websites are reporting that Hardy was expelled from the rehab program on Nov. 18 after he failed a Breatha-lyzer test. Members of the rehabilitationcenter staff administered the test after they became suspicious of Hardy’s behavior, according to TMZ.com.

 Hardy said he wasn’t drinking and had failed the test because he’d just used mouthwash, TMZ reported. 

On Nov. 17, Hardy posted on Twitter, “Every chapter in the book of your life, whether good or bad, must be absorbed and learned from and is an integral part of creating a happy ending. MH.”

 At the time he was kicked out, he had about a month left to complete the program.

 Hardy has had numerous run-ins with the law in the past four months.

 He announced on Sept. 19 that he was checking himself into a WWE-sponsored rehabilitation center for 90 days. It was later reported that entering rehab was one of the conditions for Hardy’s release from custody after his third arrest within a month.

 On Sept. 14, Moore County deputies searched Hardy’s Cameron home and then charged him with possessing a controlled substance with intent to sell or deliver, possessing a controlled substance, maintaining a dwelling for use of drugs and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

 After their search at his Boys Camp Road house, deputies said they had discovered “one hit” of the drug known as ecstasy and also found 20 vials of anabolic steroids.

 On Sept. 12, police arrested the former professional wrestler outside RDU International Airport Monday afternoon and charged him with driving under the influence. Hardy was given a written promise to appear at the Wake County courthouse in Raleigh on Nov. 30.

 On Aug. 19, Hardy crashed his Cadillac into a guard rail on U.S. 1 in Southern Pines but was not cited. The next day, he ran his Corvette into a tree south of Vass. That resulted in a DWI charge.

 After the multiple incidents, Hardy, through social media, promised to seek help for substance abuse and said he planned to enter a rehabilitation facility. He blamed his drug use on the toll his wrestling career was taking on his body over the years.

 Hardy is facing multiple court dates associated with the incidents. His first court appearance is slated for Nov. 28 in Moore County District Court.

 Hardy and his younger brother, Jeff, are one of the more popular tag teams in pro wrestling. Known as the Hardy Boyz, they were six-time World Wrestling Entertainment World Tag Team Champions.

 Jeff Hardy is back competing in TNA Wrestling after he received 10 days in jail, 30 days probation and a $100,000 fine in a September plea bargain that stemmed from his 2009 arrest on drug charges.

Jeff Hardy's Shows New Mask at TNA Turning Point

Jeff Hardy debuts a new mask on his way to the ring at TNA Turning Point

Turning Point for Jeff Hardy

Turning Point isn’t just the name of Total Nonstop Action’s pay-per-view on Sunday, Nov. 13.
It’s two words that would also describe where Jeff Hardy is in his life.

Hardy took questions during a media conference call on Tuesday to promote the event as he will make his in-ring return to PPV during Turning Point, squaring off against Jeff Jarrett at Universal Studios Orlando.

The last time Hardy readied for a PPV match at the IMPACT Wrestling Zone was in March in the main event against Sting at TNA’s Victory Road. With the Charismatic Enigma in no condition to compete, the TNA title match ended abruptly.

Hardy was sent home. He returned to the company in September, apologetic and taking full responsibility for his mistakes.

Around that same time Hardy finally got closure (a two-year process) in regards to drug charges in North Carolina. The Moore County Superior Court approved a plea deal that included a $100,000 fine and a 10-day jail sentence, which he served. The popular performer is ready to move forward.

“It’s over,” Hardy said.

“I’ve done my 10 days. I’m on intensive probation right now, but it’s cool that I’m still able to work. I have a curfew when I am at home. I have to be in at six o’clock. I can’t have any company after six o’clock. I’m two months into that, so I have four months of that left. Then I have 30 months of regular probation. I’ve moved on. It was a rough, dark time in my life, and it was a lot of stress, but I feel better that I’m finally over that.”

Hardy believes he is in a good place.

“I’ve been doing really well,” Hardy said.

“We just got back yesterday from doing four live events in Michigan, Ohio and Canada. We had four great shows. Physically, I’m in really good shape. I run every morning, I work out more than I probably ever have in probably my whole life, so everything’s extremely positive, and I think that’s playing a big part in the way I feel in the ring. I feel awesome. Each match I’ve had since I’ve been back has felt really good. I’m excited about my future.”

• His drawn out legal woes, combined with the fact that he has a wife and daughter at home, have altered the way he approaches life and his profession.

“I take better care of myself, both in and out of the ring,” Hardy said.

“I try to be smart about what I do inside the ring. Outside the ring being a father has helped dramatically in my personal life...

“Long-term says it all. When you bring a life into this world, you have to think about long-term. Now I think I’ve got to this place in my life where I have a little girl, and she just turned a year old. I have to be there for her and have to do everything in my power to stay healthy and in good shape.”

“She just turned a year, and I’ve got a lot more of those birthdays to go; so definitely long term is all I think about now because I want to be around a long time to see her grow up and do all the good stuff life has to offer. I think about that every day. That is basically why I’ve toned down what I do in the ring and basically changed my life.”
