Surprised you still got Jeff Hardy in your favs.

 

[The Flash]

I'm more of a fan of his WWE Stuff, not his TNA run where he's constantly fucked up.

 

[Kingslayer]

He was constantly fucked up in the WWE...

 

[Kiffy Lube]

They constantly asked him to go to rehab in WWE...

Edit: Kingslayer pretty much beat me to it.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Is probably me.

As far as the Jeff thing goes only difference is he was a fuck up in WWE who at least could be apart of some good matches (I know Pyro don't believe there should be the term good match and Jeff Hardy but still lol) in TNA he is a fuck up who looks like he really couldn't care to put on a good match and can't wait till the show is over.

 

[Kingslayer]

Well, I'll say this about Jeff Hardy, and it's probably the only thing I could say about him that isn't a complete insult, at least he knows that WWE matters and TNA doesn't.

 

[PHX]

Seems that way to a point. WWE would never let him go out there fucked up like TNA did rather than do some last minute booking.

 

[Kingslayer]

Well, they wouldn't now at least. I still believe that Vince's morals are poor at best and this whole wellness policy thing is something he never wanted put in place but when Eddie Guerrero died, they needed to do something to take the heat off. There was no wellness policy for years, and guys were on drugs for years. Shawn Michaels used to wrestle high on cocaine on a regular basis.

I wouldn't say Vince didn't want to do it but the Eddie and Benoit stuff made it to where he HAD to do it whether he cared or not. Then again pretty shocked there wasn't one in the early 90's when they had that roid scandal pop up about Hogan and such.

 

[Kingslayer]

That's exactly my point. You can say you doubt that he didn't want to do it but his lack of action for years and years proves otherwise. Vince cares about two things, he wants money and he wants to keep the feds off his back. This is why he got WWE branded as purely a television show and not a sporting broadcast, so that he's not subject to the laws of whatever the federal athletic commision is that governs the big 4.

 

[PHX]

My point was that while he probably didn't care if the guys were on roids I don't think the guy is that cold to not care if someone died hence why the policy came in when people started dying. But yes also just as important to keep the press off his ass.

 

[Kingslayer]

Guys have been dying for years, it only started when Eddie died because Eddie recently became a massive star and it exploded everywhere. He never cared before. Eddie was the start of the wellness policy and Benoit was the start of PG. Anybody else has gone largely unnoticed in terms of how WWE acts.

Might be a fan of the show True Blood.

Masterpiece theatre.
