As everyone would know by now Jeff Hardy showed up to Victory Road in no shape to perform. His mainevent title match with Sting was a nothing match where there was one move when Sting hit his finisher to win the match in less than 90 seconds. Hardy has been pulled from the current batch of Impact tapings but what else should happen to him?

He disgraced the company at a PPV by not being able to perform his match and it was one of the worst moments in wrestling for a long time. He has a terrible track record with drugs and TNA knew this when they signed him. Plus he also has a criminal court case still hanging over his head.

Surely it is time to fire the guy even if he brings in some money. He is setting a terrible example for the younger wrestlers and it is bad publicity for the promotion.

If you were in charge of TNA what would you do with Jeff Hardy?

If I was TNA I would've fired him on the spot. Right in the middle of the ring, I would shoot on this junkie and fired him for reals. Next I would've sued him for damages he brought the company with his actions and do my best to bankrupt this fucker. I would've seriously tried to ruin him.

That or send him home, which they did. But I would never bring him back, his contract is as long as Matt's so that means he's signed for atleast 2-3 years. So I would make him stay home for the rest of his contract and never mention him ever again. I would also send Matt away as well, since he turns into Mr. Unhappy camper when his Blue brother isn't there.

I wouldn't even bother letting him sit out his contract I would pay him out of his contract just to get rid of him.

With Matt could this be the turnaround for him? Will he now realise how unstable his brother is and will he work hard to keep his job in TNA? I hope that he actually aims to work even harder in TNA to prove that he is a Hardy that can be relied on. Unfortunately I think that you are right and Matt will side with his brother and think that he has done nothing wrong.

They both should be fired. Matt has always been in Jeff's shadow. The only good thing Matt has done was his gimmick V1, which was outstanding. But I really don't see TNA firing Jeff. He is one of their most popular wrestlers on the roster.

Does anyone else think that TNA will do a story about this whole thing? Like someone drugged Hardy before his match and that's why he acted like that? That is just something I think Russo would do.

The V1 gimmick was awesome and was easily the best gimmick of Matt's singles career.

The rumours now are that he will return as a face! Not sure how that will work since the crowd should boo him for the "performance" he put in on PPV. I am sure they will find a way to write this into a storyline for when he returns and it will be tasteless.

Fire the druggie and his brother, Fatt.

Hey I heard Matt might rename The Side Effect, he's gonna call it "WEIGHT GAIN".
