WWE Notes: Boston sports journalist writes that WWE created damage with Jeff Hardy story Nov 23, 2008 - 5:25:22 PM
A notable Boston sports journalist who wishes to have his name withheld sent the following letter to PWTorch.com regarding WWE's storyline-driven "report" on Jeff Hardy's health this morning prior to tonight's Survivor Series PPV in Boston.
I know, I should have known better.
But when you have friends at the Four Seasons, friends at the Garden, and friends who are fans reading the web, word travels fast.
I embarrassed myself, checking with police sources, sources at Mass General (realistically the only "hospital" a big name would be taken to), and sources at the Garden itself before learning this was a damn hoax.
I've already done a couple of stories on John Cena... I was hoping to do one with his father once the Patriots are over, and possibly something on the wrestling legacy Killer Kowalski left behind in New England, but this has me questioning whether the WWE really wants me or my station to take them seriously.
I'm pissed about this one, as a fan and as a professional.
