ECW/SUPERSTARS/SMACKDOWN taping 05-12-09 Dayton Ohio
I wanted to write this because not many people in the entertainment news industry point out the good things that some famous people do. Sometimes even the fans seem to believe they are some how personally involved with the "stars" and spread rumors and half truths. They fail to remember that these famous individuals are people that have personal lives that can be affected by these false statements. In the WWE world, it kills me when people believe that the choreographed storylines are true to their real life beings and experiences and spread rumors about having intimate relationships with these performers. They only wish they could get that lucky.
However, I wanted to take a moment and say something nice about WWE Superstar, Jeff Hardy.
This past Tuesday (May 12, 2009), I attended the ECW/Superstars/Smackdown taping in Dayton, Ohio with family and friends (the Krew). Dayton does not get the opportunity to host a live WWE event that often, so when my son said he wanted to go for my mother's present, I absolutely said yes. Plus... I would finally get to see Jeff perform live (which was an added incentive) and get to see first hand how the WWE puts the shows together for television viewing.
I would like to say Thank you to all the WWE Superstars for putting on a GREAT show and we had a BLAST! Everyone around us and that I spoke too had a fun time.
But on this night Jeff would wrestle and win against Ricky Ortiz, have a run in with Edge at the end of the Smackdown taping (I'm not going tell you what happened, but lets just say what a great lead in to Judgment Day), and then in a Dark Steel Cage Match wrestled against Edge for the WHC (which of course Jeff lost, because if he would have won...well I guess we would have no match at Judgment Day). Everything I watched was classic WWE performance. The excitement of the crowd every time Jeff Hardy came out was to say the least extreme. People love him, the fans want to see the character of the "Charismatic Enigma" flying off the top of those ropes, swanton bomb on his opponent. They crave it. They expect it. When the cage came out, you just knew that he was going to fly off the top of it, flip into the air and land on is back. As I watch Jeff, all I could think about was...that has got to hurt. And it just wasn't the flipping off the ropes, they way he twists and turns his body during his moves is just insane. I began to wonder...how many Sbombs does he do in a week, a month, a year, the number that ran in my head was staggering...how much can a body take slamming itself on that mat over and over.
After all the matches were done and it was time for the WWE Universe to go home, Jeff Hardy took several minutes after his cage match with Edge, standing in the middle of the ring thanked the crowd...then climbed out of the ring and passed out high fives, shook hands, gave hugs and posed for a few pictures. He was the only WWE superstar after the event that took a moment of his busy schedule to be with a few of his fans. What Jeff doesn't know is that little girl he hugged called all her friends on "her" cell phone, telling everyone Jeff Hardy hugged her, and that little boy who you spoke with for a moment and gave a high five too... it was all he could talk about leaving the arena. The excitement of these to kids was overwhelming. I watched several of these "kids" bounce around their parents, repeating what happened over and over. Even the lady, that got your sweaty tank top was beaming and laughing about the experience. She explained that she was there because of her husband and son, not really a fan, but had a great time, a new found admiration and was offered $100 bucks for your shirt.
Jeff, you made a second in time a lifetime moment for a few people.
Recently rumors of Jeff Hardy leaving the WWE about being tired, burnt and wanting to explore new career avenues have been circulating the WWE Universe and the media. Know that Jeff Hardy our "Charismatic Enigma" touches people. To the WWE fans that love him, we see him as the next HBK or reaching the star status of the Undertaker. And we can't wait for the WHC (hopefully at Judgment Day) to be around his waist. No matter what decision Jeff Hardy makes his true fans will be there with support... sad to see him go and wait for his possible WWE return...until then some of us will spin the sounds of Peroxwhy?gen over the airways so the Jeff Hardy's fans can be apart of the new era.
Much Love and Respect,
