UPDATE, VERSION 2: Matt Hardy posted the following statement on his MySpace blog.

I AM STILL ALIVE

As most of you know, I experienced a ruptured appendix which released toxins that internally poisoned me on Tuesday. After being in excruciating pain for nearly 24 hours, I went under the knife late Tuesday night and had my appendix removed. For the last four days, I've been virtually bed-ridden in Tampa General Hospital. For those four days, I've been having my body intravenously pumped and flushed with powerful antibiotics to kill the infections within my abdomen caused by the toxins. It wasn't exactly the way I planned on spending Thanksgiving of 07--away from home, away from my family, and in torturous pain. But it was a good Thanksgiving nonetheless-because I'm very thankful I'm still alive. I've got alot left to do in this life, and I wanna thank God for continuing to give me that opportunity. I'll speak on all this in greater length later, but I need my sleep now... Thank you guys-for all your support and get well soon wishes, they mean alot...

Ouch. That really messes things up.

So can we chalk this up to the Smackdown Curse, or is it just a freak occurance?

the Smackdown Curse is usually just injuries in or out of the ring, an appendectomy is just bad luck.

Well, I guess Matt vs MVP will feel better when he eventually happens.

but matt striker is everyone's teacher.

Well that sucks. I hope everything goes well recovery wise for Matt and he can get back soon.

Fortunately for everybody involved, WWE's got him written off for the time being and his time away can be used to continue to build up the best feud going in WWE.
