Stupid. Just write him off. Name 1 time where bringing someone's "personal demons" on-screeen ended well?

So he'll keep on main eventing and probably become Champion somewhere down the line.
He absolutely deserves another shot if he can keep clean, but I don't see how a little over a year is enough to prove that when he has fallen back into old ways so many times. Jeff Hardy should be treated like Scott Hall in WCW. You let him have fun in the upper midcard, but you never put him in a situation where he can burn you again.

1. he went to rehab, which was a pretty big step for somebody who said years ago he didn't need rehab when WWE wanted him to go, just time off/get away from the road burn out (and he turned out to be right)

2. Shawn Michaels was sent home in for being out of his tree at one of the tapings before WrestleMania X7. Just over a year and half later, he won the World title at Survivor Series. Pretty much an identical amount of time.

3. You're still saying things like "so many times" when it's still only affected his work twice. In that time he won 2 WWE titles and a World Heavyweight title, was a focal point of shows, was in top line feuds, held numerous mid card titles, participated in a million gimmick matches, all without incident. He's been back on TV for a year now without incident. Not seeing what more exactly you want from the guy.

It is a positive step. He left WWE for being "burnt out" and soon after which he was busted for having a shitload of drugs.

2. Shawn Michaels was sent home in for being out of his tree at one of the tapings before WrestleMania X7. Just over a year and half later, he won the World title at Survivor Series. Pretty much an identical amount of time.

Shawn wasn't on the active roster and wasn't even wrestling. He got straightened up and proved himself upon his return. Shawn Michaels also never had the legal issues Jeff Hardy has had. He came back without even having the intent to wrestle and he ended up wrestling part-time until he got the bite to come back full time. It's not so much the time frame with Jeff Hardy as it is his history of relapsing.

3. You're still saying things like "so many times" when it's still only affected his work twice. In that time he won 2 WWE titles and a World Heavyweight title, was a focal point of shows, was in top line feuds, held numerous mid card titles, participated in a million gimmick matches, all without incident. He's been back on TV for a year now without incident. Not seeing what more exactly you want from the guy.

"interfered with his work only twice" Two times is quite a fucking bit especially for a guy who you are putting in the marquee match on your "biggest ppv ever" and potentially pushing back to the main event long-term. You could have kept Hardy in the upper midcard for another year and let him help put over new guys and gain back the trust of everybody before doing this and it wouldn't be as big of an issue to most I imagine. Personally, I'd never let the guy be in the main event again which is why I find it so shocking. Like I said earlier, he is over and is an asset but he is also a risk. I'd treat him like WCW used Scott Hall. Have him on the card, put him in some feuds, but do not trust your marquee main event/major storyline to him.
