Well that’s an interesting way to go. You hear about injuries in wrestling all the time. Sometimes it’s a pulled muscle, other times something inside your head, or other times it’s a broken bone. Those are the kind of things you can heal from in due time, but there are other injuries that are a little more serious. Like, for example, when two separate bones are starting to become one.
According to Matt Hardy via his Twitter, his lower back and pelvis have started fusing together. Hardy claims that the injuries are due to using a top rope legdrop over the course of his career. There is no word on whether or not he will be missing any time or even possibly retiring over it, but this does tie together with Hardy’s recent tweet thanking his fans, which lead to some speculation about his retirement.
This maneuver was called EVENT OMEGA..
And is most likely the reason that I’ve recently learned that my lower back & pelvis have started fusing together. https://t.co/FzYebvIIc0

These things probably had something to do with it too.
Opinion: It’s no secret that Hardy isn’t going to be around much long. He’s 43 years old and has wrestled a very physical style over his career, especially with all of the violent ladder matches. That’s quite the injury to have as well and there’s a very good chance that it’s going to be something that cuts off some years off of his career. I don’t know how serious of an injury that is, but bones fusing together on their own really doesn’t sound good.
How long do you think Hardy has left? Will he ever be a champion again? Let us know in the comments below.
