When Matt Hardy found out that his girlfriend, Lita, had had an affair with his friend, Edge, he railed out at both of them on his own personal website. WWE fired him for airing his dirty laundry in public, but when fans loudly demanded Hardy's return, he was rehired and put into a feud with Edge.

Five years later, Matt Hardy was floundering in WWE and unhappy with his position. After being sent home from a European tour for disciplinary reasons, he remembered the lesson that he had once learned and started airing his grievances online once again - this time, via YouTube. In videos Hardy released on his personal channel, he criticized WWE's product and expressed a desire to be released from his contract.

Needless to say, it didn't take him very long to get his wish. Hardy hasn't been seen in WWE since 2010, but if he ever returns, he knows the easiest way out.
