STAMFORD, Conn. – In accordance with its Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy, WWE has suspended Jeff Hardy for 60 days, for his second violation of the company’s policy.


fucking hell Jeff.

Fucking idiot

Honestly, biggest push of his career, chance to really get up there and make some money, and he gets caught again BEFORE Mania....wow

God dammit it!

Yep, this push seems over (moron). :-\

Seeing as he was the shoe in for the Money in the Bank, who do you think is getting it now?

Go Jericho go!

I'm gonna say MVP

Unless Punk gets in, then I'm pulling for him to get the MITB and get off ECW

Bye bye push. What a tard. :nono:

lol

<font color=goldenrod>Fucking idiot. I hope he never gets a push this big again, and he probably won't.</font>

Last night when he lost the IC title I figured it was either getting him ready for the MITB win or, well, missing the house shows was bad.

Seriously, people said he should have been main eventing this year. Had this happened they would have been seriously fucked. I'm glad it happened, proves that he has no business in the main event and will never be there again, the fucking idiot.

I guess I was right when I said he was an irresponsible moron.

There goes my hope of this being more Boone mis-reporting

Fucking hell man. Why would he do this? Wow one of the most exciting things of 2008 in Wrestling was Jeff Hardy, and its over. Fuckin hell.

Wow!

He has the fans making noise for him. He deserves a massive push. WWE gave him all the support he needed then he goes and fucks it all up!

All that talent wasted. He is like the Gazza of the wrestling world.

Fucking idiot!

So where's the pothead who's going to defend him by saying the drug policy is bullshit and unfair?

Just realized that he'll probably be gone from the company within the year, when he fails again.

Well I'll be the token pot head here. WWE doesn't suspend wrestlers for pot, they only get a 1000 dollar fine. So Jeff was either caught with roids or some other drug like coke, or soma or something like that.

Oh, yeah...

Which throws Shadow's "he doesn't take the hard stuff" claim out the window. (Assuming it wasn't painkillers, of course.)

Good riddence if you ask me. How better way to thank someone for a push then to get caught taking drugs. :shifty:

You never know though. This might be a good thing. Look what has happened to Kenndy after he came back from his suspension :shifty::wtf:

$5 says HHH gets his win back within two weeks of the suspension being up

WOW, that's a shock, no wonder jeff dropped the title last night. I have felt somewhat understanding of jeff up till now..but not this time, i personally as a fan feel let down by this bullshit, and now the mitb match will probably feel like its missing something without him there.

Dumbass Hardy.

DAMMIT :(

Well I remember reading this well over a month ago and was prepared for it, because I just do not know how one does Jeff Hardy's style...

I saw this on wrestling-edge.com about a month ago and I'm too lazy to find it so I'm just pulling it from where ever I could find it.

WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that WWE is concerned with Jeff Hardy’s health.

Aside from the rigors of professional wrestling, Jeff Hardy punishes his body with his hobbies as well. In particular, the Rainbow Haired Warrior has suffered an assortment of injuries from doing motocross.

In a recent interview, Jeff Hardy has stated that his ankles are really weak. There’s a bone chip in his right kneecap. Both of his elbows are giving him problems. Jeff Hardy also has a herniated disc in his neck and his back.

It’s no secret that Jeff Hardy generates a lot of money for WWE with merchandise sales. The company would rather that he not put his body more at risk than it needs to be. However, Jeff Hardy has always been known as someone that was as passionate about his other hobbies as he is about wrestling.

Jeff is a retard to continue wrestling. We know this.

I don't think jeff really wants to be there and just wanted to get out without walking out or something.

Shit. One of the few guys who's entertained me lately.

Great! Now I have zero interest in Wrestlemania. The little interest that I had hinged on the chance of Jeff winning the MITB and cashing it in.

Go MVP go for the MITB now.

Poor Shadow.

Jeff Hardy is the next Kurt Angle. I want to see a Jeff Hardy Deathwatch thread.

You have got to be fucking kidding me. Jesus Jeff.

I hope Matt Hardy wins MITB now.

Man, this sucks. Jeff was the only reason I bother tuning into RAW.

... see you all in 60 days :wave:

Hmmm. So maybe there was a hidden motive for Jeff droping the IC title belt last night. Sure we all knew he was the lock to win Money in the Bank. But now this.

So I guess the question now is who rides on his rocket to the top until creative figures out something?

Cena.

matt for mitb and the world title push

Jericho got Punk'd.

(ie: Only winning a title due to a Wellness violation)

Bingo

You know what this means?

SNITSKY IN THE BANK!

Sloppy BIG BOOTS for ALL!

Backcne in the Bank

The winner gets a case of Clearasil.

This has even been picked up by the AP.

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) _ World Wrestling Entertainment has suspended one of its most popular performers for a second violation of the company's drug policy.

Stamford-based WWE spokesman Gary Davis says wrestler Jeff Hardy, who has headlined numerous live and pay-per-view events, has been suspended for 60 days. He would not say what drugs were involved.

Davis says there have been about 30 suspensions under the WWE substance abuse and drug testing policy begun in 2006, which requires tests for steroids and other drugs.

A wrestler faces a 30-day suspension without pay for a first violation, a 60-day suspension for a second violation and firing for a third violation. Performers are tested at least four times per year.

Last August, WWE suspended 10 wrestlers for violations of its drug testing policy involve drug purchases, mostly human growth hormones.

I think I feel the same way when I say that i am seriously let down by this. This was it for Jeff Hardy, the push was there, MITB was going to be his and he let it slip through his fingers. If it was hardcore drugs, then I feel no remorse by saying this. HOWEVER, if it was for painkillers, then I look at as being 50% his fault, and 50% being the WWE's fault

Maybe this was the reason why he wasn't at the house shows over the weekend.

Chris Jericho defeated Jeff Hardy last night on RAW to win the IC title. The crowd was pro-Y2J for the match. Hardy was able to duck an Enzuigiri and hit the Twist of Fate. He then went to the top rope for the finish but it backfired because Jericho moved and the Swanton got nothing. Y2J hit his new CODEBREAKER finisher and won the title. I'm sensing there are problems with Hardy backstage. We'll see. I've heard some stuff but I'll hold off on reporting it for now

That was from Wrestlezone.com, last night, just after Raw ended.

You know, he has one last chance, this ranks up here with the dumbass antics of RVD, the only difference being RVD actually had the strap

The question is, if Jeff Hardy had the strap or was challenging for it heading into Wrestlemania at this point, would this suspension have happened?
I think not, I bet it would have gotten swept under the rug and they'd suspend him at a later date

Probably would have suspended him the day after Mania.

I dunno, if it had been someone like Cena vs Hardy, you could have HHH come out and injure Hardy, and turn him heel. So I think they would have suspended him either way

There was shock and disbelief in the WWE locker room last night when word of Jeff Hardy's impending suspension made the rounds. Hardy is pretty well liked backstage, but there was a lot of disappointment after the news broke which lead to several guys asking out loud "Can you believe what an idiot he is?"

Even guys in the company who have used substances in the past have realized that the rules have changed in WWE and you can't do things anymore that you might have gotten away with back in the day.

That's the backstage reaction to it

Shit, that's just horrible...

Seriously, the guy is set up for a MOTN candidate against Umaga (Street Fight?) at Summerslam - Suspended

Then he's set up for a MITB win to eventually have a huge money match - Suspended

He is forever fucked. He's probably going to ECW when he gets back, because WWE can't trust him to be their biggest star.

Not to mention the momentum and push he was on the verge of

Well, at least we'll probably get Punk vs. Hardy - straight edge vs... Not so straight edge. :shifty:

RVD would be proud of Jeff.

No doubt.

I'm sure him an Jeff will be token up at least once over the next 60 days

After that, I got bored with multiquoting.

This is why drug users are complete and utter retards.

He would then whine about how Jeff was suspended for Pot (He wasn't), and how it's bullshit because pot doesn't hurt people, and then complain about he doesn't understand why he was suspended for pot (which he wasn't).

Is lying a trait of the gene that makes you prone to drug abuse?

I hope you guys realize that this wasn't over weed as they don't suspend guys for weed.

(This wasn't directed at KK's above post)

Well, I know at least a few people do. The rest might. Maybe.,

As I said it's either hardcore drugs or Painkillers.

It's obviously NOT steroids :roll:

Just because you don't LOOK it doesn't mean you don't SHOOT it.

I'm not condoning Jeff using painkillers (if he did), but if he was really beat up, like someone mentioned with the elbow chips, weak ankles, etc. don't you think they could have given him some time off during the week? Why not stick him in a tag match at a houseshow instead, and let his partner wrestle majority of the match?

Well, I guess he has 60 days to heal up now...

The Price is Right loser horn music would be appropriate for Jeff right about now.

If he needs surgery for that shit, he might as well do it now...but he's an idiot still. If you're hurting, take time off, don't take shit that can fuck up your career.

Doesn't the wellness policy state that you CAN take almost anything as long as you have a prescription for it? That's what makes these suspensions all the more stupid.

Seriously, all he needed was a mark doctor to fill out a prescription for him

http://www.slammers.iaw.com/pictures/nick.jpg

"I may not be a Mark, but I'm a Nick. HHHHIIIIII EVERYBODY!"

Indeeed. The Hurricane didn't look like he was on enhancement drugs. Nor did Funaki, Smackdown Numba Won Pusha!

Yeah, that's the thing. It's really easy to get painkillers legally. If he was injured and that was the reason, he could have done that. But he's an idiot, so....

Taking time off at this point in his "push" would probably have the same effect this suspension will have. Murder.

...maybe its a work

Well, it looks like a lot of his injuries actually date back. Even the more recent shit sounds like it's just new injuries because of or impacted by the old ones.

as a huge jeff hardy fan i am really dissapointed with him. as we have all said it was the biggest push of his carear and i had hopes of him cashinng in the MITB at the end of mania. closing mania with jeff as the champion would have been a great moment in wrestling and hes blown it. well done jeff

Damn. That sucks.

Blame Cena, lol. Since we all knew when Cena returned early, Jeff was done. But anyways, I am shocked. He has been really entertaining so far this year but it seems he has gone and screwed it up. And you know now that HHH is really pissed for putting him over now.

I was serious thinking during Raw last night that the Wellness policy hasn't had a new victim in a while and boom there is one. What a tit. At least Money In The Bank now is more open than a certain Hardy win.

Easier said than done. Most wrestlers do wrestle when they're sore or hurt. It's not like the wrestling culture is understanding to when a person is hurting, as he would probably lose his push that way anyhow and also get heat backstage for it.

<font color=goldenrod>And what I also hate about this is that here I was thinking they were actually interested in doing something with Jericho...and now it just seems like Jericho ONLY won due to Jeff getting suspended.</font> :(

Matt updated his Myspace blog this morning. He's into cryptic messages, but I think this one is pretty obvious:

I know two people of different genders who are in a dilemma at this time. One of these individuals I am extremely close with-the other one I used to be. The thing that worries me is that they're both playing around in the deep water and can't swim. I can swim. Ironically, Eulogy by Tool just came up on random.

What the fuck is wrong with this guy? What a fucking moron.

I've always been a Hardy skeptic, always thought he was overrated, never sold on his main event potential, not until his most recent run. He had me convinced, that wow, he's fucking for real. He was every bit as over now as he was back in his prime a few years ago, if not more over. He has been in World Title matches, was probably going to win MITB this year...there was so many huge opportunities for him coming up. This really was the peak of his career, and boom, 60 days on the shelf now for being a fucking dumbass.

This is his second violation now, and you know what, I wouldn't stop at 60 days this time. It's his second violation under the new policy, and we all know he's had problems before in the past so who knows exactly how many times they've had to bring the hammer down on him for this shit. Jeff Hardy fucking blew it. Big time. And If I was the WWE, fuck him. I'd fire him today and tell him not to let the door hit him in the ass on the way out. They've given him way too many opportunities for this shit to still be going on. His WWE career is as good as over.

Maybe he'll go back to TNA, headline some shit there, and waste away for what little time he has left in the wrestling business. But you know what, he doesn't even deserve that, he shouldn't be main eventing crap-ass TNA. For me, from now on, Jeff Hardy will always be the guy the could have been huge and bombed out maybe bigger than anybody else EVER. He's let his hardcore fans down too many times, he's let his employers down too many times, he's proven his skeptics RIGHT too many times, fuck him. He's done.

How was that not them seriously being interested in doing something? He's held the belt 8 times. It's not really a step up or down, and he won it clean off Jeff Hardy who has been momentus and over as hell.

I think the bottom line is, Jericho returning was a big moment, then it was back to basics which means uppermidcard. He's been doing fine there. They'll prob use him in the same capacity, with an occasional main event push every so often. It's not a bad thing.

It's also a credit to him as a performer and employee, since when the most popular guy on the roster has to go they send him out there to take his title for "safekeeping" knowing that he's not gonna fuck up with the belt or be a lesser champion. He may not be the biggest draw or the most powerful backstage, but I think he's genuinely well liked and respected and probably seen as one of the most trustworthy and consistent employees they have. He supposedly has never missed a date for WWE, and I think it's no coincidence that they're sending him of all their talent back to Larry King Live along with Cena after how well they did on there after the Benoit thing.

WWE, according to their new policy, can suspend Jeff indefinitely without pay until he completes a rehab course. People are saying Jeff would rather quit than go to rehab, meaning he doesn't think he has a problem.

Two things now

1) Hi, 2003!

2) Looks like Jeff could be gone

100% agreed jeritron. Its not a bad thing at all.

At least 2007/2008 Jeff wasn't botching everything in sight and actually trying out there.

Then again, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Wow.

You know, there's something to be said about this wellness policy when it can turn so many fans against such a beloved wrestler as Jeff Hardy in less than 24 hours.

Now, I know that the rules have changed in wrestling; the guys can't get away with the stuff they used to be able to get away with, and that's probably a good thing. It will lead to less and less tragic endings like Eddie Guerrero's, and that's great.

My problem with the system is that you'll never see a Triple H, or a Shawn Michaels, or an Undertaker, or a Batista, or a John Cena, or a Randy Orton getting suspended due to the wellness policy. These guys are protected by Vince McMahon. And anyone who doesn't believe that Batista and Triple H (at least) take steroids needs to have their eyes checked.

But because Jeff is smaller, not as big of a star as those guys, it's extremely unfortunate that it has to happen, but he is expendable in terms of the line-up for WrestleMania (that, and I'm sure Triple H doesn't mind flushing out arguably the most popular face in the WWE for 60 days), and so his suspension sends him out the door.

However, because the rules have changed, the lockerroom has gotten smarter, and Jeff should have gotten smarter too, especially considering the wave his career was riding. It was dumb to take the pills. It was dumb to not have an "out" for the random drug test. There's no question about that. But, at the same time, the fact that part of the roster doesn't have to worry about these things isn't fair.

Who's wrong and who's right? Kurt Angle and Booker T both bolted from the WWE over issues with the wellness policy. But the fact of the matter is that it's reality for a WWE wrestler, and Jeff should know that.

Either way, I can't just forget that Jeff is one of the most talented and entertaining superstars on the WWE roster, just like I don't dislike RVD or Eddie Guerrero for their drug-related mishaps and endings. I will, however, gladly await his return to the ring, and so long as he continues to entertain me in the ring, as a wrestler, I'll be more than happy to welcome him back.

Its kinda funny that ever since he changed his theme music things went downhill.

I agree that it's biased. Granted Jeff's one of the most popular stars involved heavily with a major match and holding a title, but it woudln't be the same for say Randy Orton. I honestly don't think that Orton would go out on Raw and drop the title and serve the suspension thus taking him out of mania and ruining the slated main event if his piss test came up positive. They'd probably do something like remove him from house shows and fine him, and keep it secret until after Mania where he could serve the suspension. Or else they'd kabitz with him and have him appeal or something to draw the process out 20 days.

Either way, they punished Jeff and took the hit to their own promotion according to policy, but although its a major setback it is recoverable. If it was something like Big Show or a main eventer I think they'd handle it differently to protect their own interests and preserve the card for the biggest ppv of the year.

Ummm Randy Orton's been suspended under the Wellness Policy before.

To be fair i don't think you could put him on the same level as the top guys back then.

Orton is just as expendable as Hardy is in WWE's eyes. In fact, with RAW clearly beginning to shift focus to Hardy slowly but surely you would think he would be one of the ones they'd protect.

The ONLY people 100% immune from the wellness policy are Triple H and Vince, along with possibly Michaels and Undertaker. I think they would easily suspend anyone else.

Orton was suspended in April of 2006 due to "Unprofessional Conduct," rumored to have been due to a poor attitude backstage as well as "fits." Orton spent 4 weeks in anger management during his suspension.

Orton has not been suspended due to violation of the wellness policy.

I really think Cena is among the immune.

You're right.

But aside from those five, they'd be willing to suspend anyone.

Even Shane?

:rofl:

OK, FINE....

Triple H, Vince, Undertaker, Cena, Michaels, Shane, Linda, Stephanie, Aurora Rose and Shane's kids. BUT ASIDE FROM THOSE!
