I think I would have been more surprised and it been more news-worthy had he shown up to the PPV IN IT instead of OUT OF IT. I assume OUT OF IT for Jeff Hardy is as usual as Matt Hardy at a Sunday buffet

Jeff Hardy, overrated as he is, has had multiple opportunities in both WWE and TNA to be a top level wrestler who accomplishes great things, has great matches, and is remembered by fans in a positive way. Yet, he continues to throw all that away. He has no respect for the business, or the fans.

I dont buy that shit. I used to pull 18 hour guard shifts every day for weeks at a time, with little to no sleep, and never once did someone think I was wasted.
Shit, I didnt sleep until my 3rd night of bootcamp. I was awake 72 plus hours with alot more stress going on than jeff, and you know what? I was tired, not all fucked up. Same can be said for every person I ever worked with. if you see someone is exhausted, you wouldnt mistake it with being drunk or on drugs. |

...And then they (The Hardys) talk about "this business needs change" and all that crap. Yeah, it needs change...it needs to get rid of guys who don't appreciate what's given to them.

If the legal issues go away, pretty sure Vince would take him back in a heart beat.
The constant bouts of idiocy in this forum never cease to amaze me. |

Okay, I'm going to start by pointing out I'm not buying into this story as credible. I almost wish it was, because I alluded to it happening last week, but honestly, I don't want Hardy to fail.
But I'm going to address this hypothetically. Can't the dude just be tired? Yes, in the same way a two-time bank robber walking into a bank with a ski mask, a duffel bag, and a suspicious bulge in his pocket might just be there to open an account. If it was someone who hadn't been fired for drugs before, or whose trailer didn't have enough drugs to fuel Hollywood into 2017, people wouldn't be as quick to buy it. But if you're Jeff Hardy, odds are if you're out of it, it's drugs. If he was feeling run down, he'd probably be on enough stimulants to explode the heart of a blue whale. Does it mean he conclusively can't just be tired? No. But we're talking potential drug abuse by a drug abuser in an abuse-heavy industry. |

How can he be tired? TNA barely has shows outside of Orlando.

Except he's a heel now so there goes that.
TNA's audience still chants "you sold out" whenever anyone turns heel and they are quite serious when they do. The dumbest smarks in the business are in Orlando. |

Well, in that case...in TNA's eyes, he was their top face, so turning him would be something like Austin turning in '01, or The Rock turning in '98...you know...in TNA's eyes.

It appears that when the subject turns to Jeff Hardy, a lot of you switch off and go into internet mongoloid mode. Not sure I've ever seen so many overall daft posts in one thread.

I'm not even sure why I'm surprised, it's hardly anything 'new', maybe I've been online more than normal today so I've 'kept up' with the thread. But yeah, gaylords.

Yes, people give their opinions. There is also this magic little 'Post reply' button that people can click on that allows an opinion to become somewhat of a discussion (surprising on a discussion forum, I know) and these discussions/responses seem to increase when there is a disagreement. Are you keeping up here?

You honestly back your reasoning that because you and your friends in the Navy worked long hours and never thought each other to look "fucked up" that it couldn't possibly be the situation with someone else in an entirely different working environment? I've got a couple of friends who suffer from legitimate insomnia, staying up for 4-5 days at a time, and I've sometimes thought they looked incredibly stoned, zonked out on pain pills, or that they'd been crying profusely, when they'd simply been awake for way too long. The fact that TNA went ahead and let him retain the world title and are planning to use him for the rest of the year's Impact tapings I think should say a lot. The guy showed up to the event looking haggard as fuck and because of his reputation in the business, people immediately jumped to conclusions. I think the facts speak for themselves: the guy has been all over the fucking place for the past week, and as someone who travels a lot, I know that it can take the life out of you. Now, I'm not stupid, and I'm reasonable enough to say that yes, maybe he was under the influence of SOMETHING when he arrived to the arena (in addition to being extremely tired), but the fact is that we don't know one way or the other. I think the comments about how Jeff always fucks up his chances, etc, etc, are true based on his past, but not necessarily relevant in this situation. Give the guy a fucking break; he's been pretty great since arriving in TNA. |

It's that the internet wrestling community (which includes the people who posted the news in the first place) are like fucking baboon savages when it comes to certain subjects, and it's ridiculous. Have you ever seen 2001, A Space Odyssey? At the beginning, there are a bunch of monkeys who get into a big fight over a bone. That's what this Jeff Hardy news has been like. A rumor gets dropped that Jeff showed up to the show looking "out of it," that the backstage fell into a chaotic scramble to figure out how to work around it, etc, etc, and immediately everyone jumps up to rally against Jeff Hardy like he's the fucking anti-christ. It's just such a severe form of haterism and it's ridiculous. |

90% of stuff written on 'the sheets'/internet is bollocks. One quite vague report was released on a website that Jeff was in 'no condition to perform' which circulated through a few more sites afterwards from the same foundation. A contradictory and rather detailed report surfaced not long afterwards stating something completely different. Jeff Hardy wrestled on the PPV showing no signs of the aforementioned 'no condition to perform'. This on top of the 'omg Jeff Hardy is a complete piece of shit' attitude that's surfaced since his drugs bust and amplified ten fold since he had the nerve to say something that wasn't complimentary about CM Punk. I couldn't care less about a difference of opinion, that's kind of the point of a discussion. As I said, my problem is with stupid people or stupid comments usually including getting some kind of shots in because they feel it validates that they know something or some shit. It's quite pathetic. Like I said, it's nothing new. |

Exactly. Yes, the stress on Hardy is heavier than on others, but he wasn't the only one on that tour who had long flights and long days. He is - however - the only one facing drug charges. True or not, I can see why this story has legs. Personally, I think he was stoned, just because I know enough addicts and they deal with stress and exhaustion the same way, getting high until they can get through it. But I wasn't there so I can't say with any certainty. I'll just have to wait and see what happens next like everyone else.

I think Fox has said it best. People have seen me with only a few hours sleep and assume I have been drinking. My eyes and behaviour just seem to show fatigue more. That being said, it's entirely possible Jeff Hardy is on something. I mean, the man has a history of drugs, it's a hard habit to break, and I don't think TNA would really require it of him.
It's entirely possible that Jeff Hardy's reputation muddled up a completely innocent story -- but it's it's also possible that Jeff Hardy was riding some substance. We don't know, and we don't even know if Hardy did show up backstage in that state. None of us were there. That being said, I agree that TNA should just fire Hardy anyway. I understand what TNA wants to try and achieve with him, but he hasn't boomed business for them so far, and is a liability waiting to happen. |
