IMO, i think Jeff Hardy's title win build-up is nearing that of Chris Benoit's...

But Jeff Hardy isn't exactly your usual steroid freak, so as long as him being busted for doing whatever happened backstage in the WWE (which it has the past few times), I doubt it would get out to the press that much.

And if it got out to the press at ALL, they'd have to suspend him. You know why? WWE is a public fucking company. If they fail to act on their own drug policy, they can be in 31 flavors of shit in a heartbeat, for defrauding investors and the like.

Since a WWE champ failing a drug test WOULD be news that would affect investors, it would find its way out after the fact, because business news is still news. So whether it was picked up by the news the first time around or the second time around, the end result would be just about the same. Maybe not as big as Chris Benoit, but then, Jeff would only be failing a piss test, not roided out of his mind and killing his family.

And honestly, that's a very poor cost-benefit analysis. Even if it never hits the press proper, such a likelihood (And Jeff is likely to fail) is likely to hurt Vince and his company on the business end of things, leaving them in a position to be nailed financially and possibly liable if they are not forthcoming.

The fans love Jeff. The kids love Jeff. He's big, but he's a bad investment.
