    Just Read About Jeff Hardy...

    Sunday, November 23, 2008, 12:32 PM CST [General]

    I am not sure what to think of it, personally.  First of all I wanna say that I truly hope he is alright.  I'm not gonna be one of those "fans" that just want to see him pull Swanton after Swanton just because it's awesome to see.  Granted, I enjoy them, but lets face it, with his many back, neck, knee & elbow problems, it CAN'T be good for him. 

    Anyway, I've read "reports" from those gossip sites that it is a planned storyline to perhaps introduce Edge back to Smackdown.  If so, I'll be relieved but very irritated that the WWE would do something that can/does really worry his loyal and genuine fans.  But ya know?  I'll take that.  If it means that he is only acting and he is okay, I'll accept the irritation. 

    I did notice on SmackDown on Friday night (actually taped on Tuesday night), that as we went to go up the steps to enter the ring, he sort of slumped over the steps and appeared to have to catch his breath.  And the camera cut away from him awfully quick.  Of course, this could still have been plans leading to what supposedly happened to him last night, but I guess only time will tell. 

    I just hope that he is okay.  It's possible that he's just overtired right now, if that's the case, Vince needs to step up and give him some time off to rest up. 

    Jeff is one of those guys that really doesn't take care of himself.  In my opinion, the poor guy needs to take some time off to have some surgeries done, but I seriously don't see that happening.  The sad thing is, he may be shortening his career by a long shot by not getting some medical attention.  And it's not that it bothers me b/c "ohhh man!  Jeff's gonna have to retire. *pout*"  It's not that.  I'd hate it FOR him.  I know, like many others, Jeff lives for what he does.  And if he has to retire by the age of 35 (if he's lucky at this rate), it's going to absolutely drive him crazy. 

    But it's out of anyone's hands but his own.  All you can do is hope he wakes up and get's the medical advice/attention he needs.

    I do hope that Jeff Hardy is ok. He is so talented & works so hard. He looked very tired when he came to the ring aired this past Friday night. He looked short of breath. My thoughts are with Jeff.

    I have heard the buzz that the Jeff Hardy incident could be a story line. If it is then that's pretty jacked up. I respect Jeff for all the work he does in the ring, and he is definetly shortening his career. But I also have to say that he has used banned substances, and he doesn't always show up for house shows. I hope he is alright, because it would be ashame to have another wrestling tragedy. Also, if this is real then he will probably be fired for violating the wellness policy.

    Tod Rod: I agree with your opening points. But I however, don't think it's right to imply it's substance abuse when it's not even been mentioned as a possiblity. As someone pointed out in their blog earlier, I believe his last offense was his mistake, yes, but at the same time, I think it could have been worse. I'm not condoning it, I'm just saying that he didn't do what every now & then anyone else hasn't done. It's pretty much come out since it happened that it was most likely a pain pill. Have you not ever taken a pain pill from someone from being in a lot of pain? I think everyone has at one point or another. Doesn't make it right no, but that doesn't mean that he's completely giving into his demons either. So, be careful to judge when you don't know anything for sure.
