Extremely Disappointed
by Impact on 3/11/08 3:15 PM
You've all seen my constant standing up for Jeff Hardy. I've been a Hardy fan since the first match I watched in the WWE. The very first match I ever watched from start to finish was on the Sunday Night Heat prior to WrestleMania XV, The Hardy Boyz versus Edge & Christian. From then on, I was a Hardy fan, particularly Jeff Hardy.
So to see him leave in 2002 kinda killed things for me. To see him flounder in TNA Wrestling then disappear from there, made me a little skeptical he'd ever return to wrestling.
Then he comes back to WWE with this massive intensity, and in the last several months gets the main event push of a lifetime. And what does he do? Relapses. F**kin' relapses and fails a drug test. Drops the Intercontinental Championship early to Chris Jericho, gets removed from WrestleMania XXIV's Money in the Bank Ladder match, and suspended for 60 days.
If he had passed that test, I bet you just about anything I have that the company would have felt confident they could give him the WWE Championship. The ONLY reason he didn't win it up til now, was because they were fearful he could relapse. And then he did.
So what's that mean?
Well, you can't at all keep him low on the card, because the fan response won't die down from this. Most casual fans won't know why he even disappeared. Some won't care.
But I'm pretty certain now that he will NOT get a WWE Championship this year like he was pretty much scheduled to get. I'm not even sure he'll ever get it now. He'd have to really, REALLY prove something to the WWE now. To screw up in that kind of a push, that sort of situation. It really disappointed me.
Jeff Hardy's been my idol in professional wrestling for nearly ten years now, and that just killed me.
And I'm more worried about him failing another one than I am about him getting back into the title hunt. Because now, it's one more failed test and he HAS to be fired.
Way to screw up Jeff. Way to really let down the real Jeff Hardy fans out there, that have backed you up every step of the way even when you were screwing up, just to fix yourself up, start to get to where you need to be, and then decide you can't stay clean.
This is one fan who's entirely not happy at all right now. And for once, it's not because of John Cena, or Triple H, or the WWE at all. But because Hardy continues to selfishly not care about his career or his fans one bit. Or at least, he doesn't seem to want to show that he does.

I'm really disappointed in Jeff too. I'm a Jeff Hardy fan and I was glad that he was finally given the push he deserves. He had huge momentum going into the money in the bank ladder match and was the favorite to win it. Then he ruined it. I was surprised that Jericho won the title last night, but don't get me wrong Jericho deserves it. If it was up to me they should have given it to Mr. Kennedy he deserves another push. Now when Jeff comes back he's going to go back to mid-card and won't get a WWE title shot for a long time. What a idiot.

Jeff Hardy does drugs? I am APALLED! Absolutely APPALLED! Let's go out and lynch him!
WWE should just take its stupid wellness policy and shove it up their ass. Wrestlers doing drugs is nothing new, and its not going to stop anytime soon.

I think that the Wellness Policy is full of politics. The people who are friends with Vince probably get a free pass.

That is true. I really want to know how they organize this Wellness Policy. I heard that, it is by random controls.

Say what you want about the Wellness Policy, the fact is Hardy failed his drug test. If politics had anything to do with it, I'm sure they would have let Hardy skate on this one. After all, he is one of the top 4 stars on RAW, he gets huge pops, he sells mechandise and he looked well on his way to being the WWE champ at some point this year. This was not what the WWE wanted to happen. The fact is Hardy has problems and he has to deal with them. Sweeping a guy's problems under the rug doesn't help anyone. Getting those problems out in the open does. Hopefully, this will help Hardy in the long run.
As for Hardy's professional career, he will have a long road to getting back to where he was. The odds of him getting the WWE Title are probably over. I'd be surprised if he even came back to RAW. After his suspension, I see him going to SD or ECW to earn back some credibility.
