[94 SVT Cobra]

Seriously, im reading that Jeff hardy is SUPER over from my friend who was a hardy mark since he showed up in WWE and thought it was just him on his delisional rant about how wwe is worth watching again....come to find out this is actually true? I know Jeff was always over but with that acting ablity of his, which i HEAR hasnt changed, i never saw him super over....is this the "high" leading the blind?
