Early word from the PWInsider guys is that Jeff Hardy wasn't at RAW, which is why Umaga was booked in a babyface role against Santino last night. Nothing yet as to why, but it wouldn't be good for him to start no showing dates and pulling a 2003-2005 Hardy.

Jeff killed Matt because Matt has more friends on MySpace than him.

Who cares ? He been doing the same mid-card act for well..... fuckin years, and he's still awful on the mic. Every so often he has to throw himself off of a twenty foot ladder to save his job. I could care less if he shows up or not. Maybe the'll fire him and Matt can go back to being a heel, where at least he'd mildly entertaning.

Jordan

He's a huge star, I think a lot of people care and it's a pretty big deal.

According to Dave Scherer, Jeff Hardy didn't show up at RAW last night. There is concern in the company that he won't be back for SummerSlam and that he might not be back at all. His program with Umaga was scrapped and Umaga was turned babyface on RAW.

Stay tuned as we will have updates very shortly regarding this breaking news story.

It's a shame how they always push Jeff as the better Hardy and always give him the mid-card titles so he can always fuck it up.

Matt better win the US Title soon. :mad:

Shortly after this, Shadow and Jeff HArdy were found dead in HArdy's pool. Cause of Death appears to be jumping off of something really high.

PWInsider just had an update...

Hardy gave notice to WWE he was going to miss RAW, so he didn't no show the event. Shadow you can stop chugging the Draino.

Corkscrewed

Good to know he isn't a total idiot and throwing his push away.

Anyone know whatever happened to Cor Von? He's been gone since he no-showed ECW a couple of weeks ago, and I never did find out why he missed that show either.

Splaya

07-31-2007, 06:00 PM

Cor Von had a death in the family that has Supposedly hit him really hard, and they have given him time off to deal with it.

Good news for Jeff Hardy though.

In an update on the Jeff Hardy situation, he was actually sent home by WWE and his program with Umaga has been dropped with Umaga looking to go face. We'll have more details when they come.

Marcus Cor Von is not scheduled to be at TV tonight.

Sent home sounds a bit odd to be honest.

Also, if Umaga is going face, I hope Armando comes back.

FUCK THAT! Matt can keep chasing, it's a better program now.

I wonder if him gdtting sent home had something to do with that botched spot last week. Looked like a botched spot to me, anyways, when he fell off the top rope or whatever.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Maybe he's hurt worse than they thought

Yeah, I was at RAW last week and that botch looked really painful live. We were all surprised that he got up.

Yea...just read that he was sent home also...makes me think he was back talking someone backstage that he probably shouldnt of been back talking to.

Matt better win the US Title soon. :mad:

Yeah, as a Matt Hardy fan, it always seems that as soon as Matt is getting close to something, Jeff Hardy just comes along without warning and either mimics his success, or surpasses it. It's kind of frustrating in a way.

The report is now that Jeff Hardy got sent home. I don't know if that is better or worse. I mean, dropping the Umaga program is not a reason to send him home. They could have thrown him on Heat. Instead of running William Regal vs. Jim Duggan, they could have swapped Duggan for Hardy, and actually had a good match.

Jeff has been really solid since coming back to RAW. Matt is still leaps and bounds the better of the two, but Jeff has had his fair share of great matches. Apparently his bouts with Umaga have been good, and I loved his matches with Johnny Nitro.

Sepholio

08-01-2007, 03:20 AM

It is due to the bump on RAW last week. He has been given time off to heal as he apparently injured his neck and back when he fell.

Dave Youell

I hope that report about the injury is right, it's only been reported by his band though. It could be a cover, I hope it isn't.

It's a dam shame regardless though.

Sepholio

08-01-2007, 06:26 AM

Yeah, I thought the same thing about his band posting it. Figured no news agencies have picked up on it because it came out in the middle of the night so they can't check it with other sources yet.

I can see that being true though, I'm thinking he showed up to work on pain killers or something and bandaged up and WWE just decided to be nice and give him a break. They may have simply let him go because his program was with Umaga, afterall, and of all people he would have to face, I'd be scared to put him in the ring with Umaga injured. Not only because of Umagas strength but because of the fact that Jeff would have to use alot of high risk spots to look like a threat to him in the first place.

Kane Knight

08-01-2007, 08:47 AM

Also, I'm amazed BDC is the only one to question the whole "Top Star" thing.

Dave Youell

08-01-2007, 09:02 AM

Well it's all down to perception i guess

if you look at the current faces on Raw

With the exception of John Cena who's in a more elevated posistion than Jeff? Maybe Lashley, but he's injured as well now

So he's in the top 3 faces, that counts as a top star in my book

Kane Knight

08-01-2007, 09:35 AM

Ah yes. When you break it down to the top of one side of the coin on one brand, it suddenly all makessense.

Dave Youell

08-01-2007, 09:37 AM

Being in the top 3 faces on one brand does make you a top star, or do you dissagree with that?

If HBK and HHH were healthy he'd be lower down the pecking order, he's there by default, but he's still there regardless.

Kane Knight

08-01-2007, 09:45 AM

I disagree with that. Fuck, I don't even know if he IS one of the top faces on the brand. But besides that, when you have to quantify him as a one of the top three (1) faces (2) who hasn't been injured (3) on a given brand (4), no.

In a company with like 45 active people (counting only regulars in a wrestling role), being one of the top TWENTY or so does not make you a "top star."

Dave Youell

08-01-2007, 10:06 AM

Lets take a look at all the active top level faces on WWE programming right now that have been on TV this week:

Cena
Lashley
Batista
Kane
CM Punk
Matt Hardy (at a stretch)
Dreamer (the only other face worth caring about on ECW)

Now based on the reaction the person gets and the standing within the company I would put Hardy 5th on that list, mainly because of the way that Raw guys are treated compared to the other brands. So he’s 3rd overall on the Raw brand and 5th within the company right now, in my opinion. That to me constitutes a top star

James Steele

Jeff gets better pops than Cena.

The report of him getting time off for the injury is a cover

The reason why he's gone...well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why
