The Hardys made their final independent appearance last night for Pro Wrestling South in Bristol, Tennessee. The appearance had been booked before they signed with WWE. They had originally told independent promoters that they would be available through April (meaning they likely originally expected to not sign with WWE until May).
Matt Hardy cut a promo saying “Meek Mahan” and “the man with three H’s” wouldn’t allow them to show up at the event, but he pleaded with them and they then allowed the Hardys to show up at the event, but not wrestle. Instead, The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express came out to take their place, I guess. A few people on Pro Wrestling South’s Facebook page seemed pretty mad, but it isn’t really their fault, though they were still advertising the Hardys appearing in a match.
