Former wrestling champ Matt Hardy was kicked out of court-ordered rehab today for failing a breathalyzer test ... this according to multiple sources.
Earlier this year, Hardy was ordered to go to rehab by the court after a string of run-ins with the law.
We're told the staff at the rehab got suspicious of Hardy's behavior on Friday and gave him a breathalyzer test on the spot ... which he failed. According to our sources, Hardy was adamant he wasn't drinking ... and said he only failed because he had "just used mouthwash."
The staff wasn't convinced and gave Hardy the old heave-ho from the facility.
Back in September, the Moore County DA said if Hardy didn't comply with the treatment, he would be put in jail on a million dollar bond. We're told Hardy still had about a month to go before he was through.
11:00PM PT Hardy was arrested as soon as he got off a plane tonight in Moore County, NC. He was booked (above) at 1:30AM ET for violation of a court order.

Mick Foley announced via his twitter that he will be appearing on upcoming episode of the hit NBC sitcom 30 Rock as Mankind. This will be the first time that the hard-core legend has worn the leather mask in about 11 years. Foley also mentioned that he would have a kissing scene with somebody on that episode. (Something tells me it's probably going to be Frank played by Judah Friedlander) No word on an air date as of yet but if I had to venture a guess maybe sometime in March or April right around Wrestlemania

Jesse Neal is finishing up with TNA Wrestling, according to the Wrestling Observer website. "Some things you just have to question but... then I again I don't give a f---. It's time for a new me and a change."
Neal followed up by writing: "If you want to book me I am free after this weekend, let me know. And trust me, you'll get your moneys worth."
--Regarding Jesse Neal's departure from TNA, a lot of the lesser experienced talent that isn't being used on a regular basis was asked to move to Louisville and train at the OVW school, similar to what a lot of the WWE talent on the main roster (Mason Ryan, Jinder Mahal, Ricardo Rodriguez and others) who still live and train at FCW. Neal decided against making the move, and was let go.

It seems so long ago but really it was only seven months ago Valentine's Day to be exact when The Rock made his triumphant return to the WWE universe after a seven-year absence. Back then, everyone seemed to be electrified by the great ones return and couldn't wait to see him host Wrestlemania 27. For the six weeks that followed until the big show the three-way feud between John Cena, The Rock and the The Miz was pretty entertaining even if The Great One was bringing it via satellite. It gave us such pop-culture fixtures and trending topics such as Yabba Dabba Bitch and Fruity Pebble took the Twitter verse by storm. But the fun soon once we learned the main event for Miami a year in advance something that had never been done in the industry before. And while this sold quite a few tickets for Wrestlemania 28 it did not come without its problems. Fan soon realized that the Brahma bull was not coming back full-time and their is where the problem begins. How can you have a two-way feud when one person is not there and how you make John Cena and his battles before Rock not seeming less important I think unfortunately on those two fronts does far they have failed. On the other side of the coin you can't have them interact too much because that lessens the importance of the showdown on April 1. So realistically they really painted themselves into a corner. Taking this a step further the greatest fights of all time have two dynamic personalities with a bitter rivalry that transcends the boundaries of the sport and if I'm being deeply honest this seems pretty one-sided. Say what you want about of the attendance record of the man known as Dwayne Johnson still draws you in unlike Cena who feels very whitewashed and one-dimensional by the current creative climate in the WWE. It feels like John brings a water pistol to a duel at the OK Corral. He just seems outmatched in all ways it doesn't seem fair. Last time, the People's champion entered a WWE ring it was to further cement the records of still fledgling superstars at the time Randy Orton and Batista at Wrestlemania 20, so what's the payoff for this? Because this tag team match at Survivor Series seems to be doing wonders for the Awesome Truth in their push. If Rock wins the big showdown it further proves that today's superstars don't compare to the previous era and if Cena wins then it hurts Rock's credibility in anything going forward and really damages him when it comes to his aura. Looking at this information I understand why a lot of people resent this feud… On paper there's quite a lot wrong with it but if you remember there was a lot wrong with Rock/ Hogan at Wrestlemania 18 as well but we all know how iconic that match was. So here's hoping something good will come out of the train wreck.

Matt Morgan acknowledged the death on his Twitter page on Tuesday. "Mike Morgan was a highly decorated cop, who was in (the) anti-gang division and Monday was to start SVU. Still can't believe he got killed. Too young with HUGE career in front of him still.
"News said he'd gotten out of over 600 'guns drawn situations over his career in anti-gang without having to draw his own. That's insanely impressive." Police are offering a $25,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the shooter. To read more on the story, visit NJ.com.
Matt Morgan also wrote that his father is hospitalized because his brain cancer is "spreading rapidly." Here's wishing the entire Morgan family the best during this difficult time.
