I was disappointed that I didn't walk out of The Great American Bash as the United States Champion. MVP was able to squeak out as the champion. Just so you all know, I was almost knocked out earlier in the match--and I was definitely out on my feet after getting hit with MVP's devastating boot in the corner. Go back and watch how my head violently bounces off the mat after the boot--and on the hardest part of the ring. When MVP picked me up for his finishing move, I was definitely out on my feet. I've lost before, and I'll lose again. That's life. But I promise you I am going to pursue the U.S. Title until I win it. Make sure to tune into Smackdown this Friday as myself and Ric Flair team up for the first time ever against MVP and Chris Masters. I will not die, and I will not be denied!
I had a great day of media in Fresno, California on Monday. The people of Fresno were so cool and nice and I had a great time there. And I wanna thank all of the awesome MFer's that turned out to what ended up being a MASSIVE autograph signing. TNT was also in full effect Tuesday night!
I wanna mention how f*cking awesome I thought Jeff did in his match against Umaga. I am so proud of my baby brother. Jeffrey Nero is by far the best he's ever been in the ring right now--I see nothing but greatness and superstardom in front of him.
If anyone out there attended the Raleigh, North Carolina live event where Jeff and I brought our Dad in the ring and has pictures--please send them to me if you could. It was an awesome time for us and our Dad, but we don't have any great pictures of the three of us. I would GREATLY appreciate it!
Don't forget the "MATT FOR CHAMP" movement--we gotta keep the revolution in motion. I promise to do my best week in and week out to be the "Lifeblood of Smackdown!"
The quote of the day is from the song "The Memory Will Never Die." I started digging this song after I heard it on a tribute video a fan did for Jeff and I. By the way, thanks so much for making that tribute video--I love it. While we're on the topic of You-tube and MySpace Hardy tribute videos, I wanna thank everyone who has ever made one. I check them out often and am always impressed and flattered. Keep up the good work--it helps to keep me motivated!
Enjoy everyday of your life, it's too short not to. I have an amazing weekend planned--can't wait! If you can find something or someone that makes you happy, hold onto it as tight as you can. It takes work, communication, unselfishness, and understanding to be at peace with yourself and the world. You gotta excuse me--you guys know how I like to get philosophical, HA!
We all are what we are. But don't be afraid to be the best you can possible be. Don't be afraid to give everything in your body and soul to what you truly believe your cause and calling is. Find your purpose in life, and hopefully you'll find others with that same purpose. Treat others as you wish to be treated. Look at life optimistically, always see the good in people and do your best to accentuate that. Thanks for always being with me through thick and thin, I got nothing but love for ya because of that...
