Matt Hardy was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated yesterday, August 20, in North Carolina. He was subsequently released from his contract with TNA Wrestling later in the day.
According to TMZ, Hardy was arrested after his 2009 Corvette ran off the road and struck a tree. The state trooper who came upon the accident “observed signs of impairment” and arrested Hardy. He was by himself at the time of the accident and suffered no major injuries.
He was released from Moore County Jail approximately 7 PM EST Saturday evening.
TNA Wrestling released an official statement on their website earlier today indicating Hardy’s release. In the statement they indicated that Hardy was already on suspension from the company. His last televised appearance for TNA was on the May 30 taping for Impact Wrestling, in which he lost to Crimson.
Hardy joined TNA Wrestling in January 2011 as an ally to his younger brother Jeff Hardy in the Immortal stable of villains.
Jeff Hardy, who is still technically employed by TNA, was suspended in March after the Victory Road pay per view where he was determined to be in no condition to perform. In the main event of that show, then-TNA World Champion Sting beat Jeff Hardy in the main event in approximately 90 seconds. The next night at the Impact Wrestling television tapings he was effectively written out of Immortal and TNA Wrestling storylines and has not been mentioned or used since then.
