Jeff Hardy is a moron

[Airfixx]

You sure have a nice way of reading into things. Sure, WWE is the evil here. They didn't have the guy's back. I mean, sure, even though he failed 2 drug tests embarrasing the company even more in a time when they were being escrutinized by the public eye they still pushed him to main event stardom. But yeah, I mean, you're right. Jeff Hardy should be mad at WWE because when he makes a little "mistake" like getting caught with that shitload of drugs in his appartment they didn't have his back, you know, because they should have, I mean, he wasn't even working with them anymore and he had left the company without a guy they had spent 2 years building and whom they had given opportunity after opportunity in the past.

And, give me a break, nothing more to prove. How about proving that you're dependable and a trustable worker. In TNA all he has showned is that with freedom and creativity in his character, he's a complete mess.

^^^THIS!

Despite his trainwreck lifestyle and numerous wellness policy infringements, WWE put Jeff in one of the top spots in the company.... THEN HE LEFT.

Dumb Jeff though being a WHC was the proverbial 'finish line'.... It was the BEGINING, fool!

I bet all Jeff wanted to do in the WWE is be successful with his brother.

If he had any professional pride he would of came back to the WWE and kick the shit out of Punk. He said some crazy shit that excels Hunter to mick any day of the week. Since he didn't, it just leads me to believe he doesn't give a shit. Still to this day (most recently brock lesnar) Vince Mcmahon is called a complete ruthless jackass and I doubt he can understand any of Jeff's actions. Jeff knows that the only reason he's getting so much chances is because of his star power. When you hear about how friendly TNA is and how cut throat WWE is, this really wasnt surprising.

Like this guy when he's at the top of the company, get's bored and focuses on his music. It wouldn't be a stretch to me if he was only in the company for Matt and his fans back from the hardy boyz days.

^^TNA is only "friendly" to those with name value. Go ask CM Punk, Mickie James, Paul London, Konan, Kong and Daniels how friendly they are.

ok CM Punk was a miss, Mickie James while being a employee had some wierd wrestling dominatrix nude pics, Paul London just can't lose his smile, Konan is only in it for himself, while he was great with LAX he's not worth the airtime and money, They gave Kong an opportunity to reinvent womens wrestling, no one cared, i blame ODB. Daniels as "the fallen angel" was fucking Blue as fuck. Looked like this guy was into bondage little girls and getting spanked. Curry man was wicked.

TNA isn't in a position like they were when they first got their spike contract. They haven't been able to top 1.5 or some shizit and they don't realize it's their production value. TNA is pretty god damn friendly considering all of the names who have had their chance in the company. Not their fault they're not going to keep around Raven esque characters. At least they had a chance (except CM punk, again a miss)

First off, with Konnan, he's talking how TNA decided to leave him high and dry with his kidney issues. Amazing Kong? How about she being part of when the knockouts were actually succesful? Nobody cared? They were the highest rated segments in the entire show. It's now that the entire knockout division revolves around tag team matches every show with the Beautiful People. By your description of the Fallen Angel gimmick, I am leaning towards the impression you never actually saw him.

It's pretty funny that you are saying TNA is pretty friendly considering the position they have, because well, under that perspective, you can say WWE is very friendly considering the position they have. You say leaving Jeff Hardy, a guy clearly with some issues and drug problems (then again, look with who I'm taking to), run wild with complete freedom and no wellness policy whatsoever is being friendly, then continue to believe that. I'll take WWE's friendliness of keeping guys like Funaki under their payroll for years and years, or offering terapy to their exworkers, or taking these midcard acts nobody cares about and pay them a "Legend's Contract" just so that they don't starve to dead.

Wow 65 dates a year? 750,000 dollars? That schedule is better than Takers besides the money of course. I'm sure Jeff could have survived off of 750 Gs a year. Whatever, he'll be in jail by the end of year anyways tbh.

- WWE's last unofficial offer to Jeff Hardy before he went to TNA had a $750,000 downside where he would only have to work 65 dates a year, giving him the biggest break on the Schedule out of any WWE stars, including Shawn Michaels.

Obviously Hardy turned the deal down as he was upset that nobody backed him after his drug arrest and he was upset over the promos that WWE had CM Punk cut on him after he left the company. The feeling was that Hardy wasn't with the company at the time and the promos from Punk weren't business as they weren't used to build a match.

So basically Hardy would have made 750000 for just doing a weekly show and monthly PPV.

The promo's were business. They were used to get Punk over. It was nothing personal obviously, as the WWE wanted Jeff back in spite of all his troubles.

$750,000 is honestly pennies compared to what most of the main event talent makes. Batista, Cena, Orton, HHH and Taker all make in the millions per year. Though for only working two months out of the year it seems damn fair.
I'm sure he can't be making much more than $200,000 per in TNA.

But you also have to figure in, he's getting a nice chunk of change from all his merch sales. I don't know if you get that in TNA.

 

[MizMasta3000]

he has a T-Shirt for TNA thats about it.

He would have gotten a nicer chunk of change from his WWE merch. sales, which his sales alone would be way higher than all of TNA's combined merchandise. He ain't making dick honestly on TNA merch because TNA ain't making dick. People seem to be forgetting that this offer of $750,000 was only the DOWNSIDE. That's what would have been his guaranteed money, toss in PPV bonuses, merch. sales and the whatnot and he's easily clearing a milly. Even with optimistic merch sales he's lucky to be clearing a quarter of that and he is still working about 40 dates a year with TNA.

 

[MizMasta3000]

^plus I'm sure that those dates he would work in WWE would be around Wrestlemania time. Add the fat Wrestlemania checks that guys like Cena, Orton and Taker get. Jeff is a dumbass.

 

[jerseyboybastard]

What everyone is forgetting is that Jeff can do in TNA that wouldn't have been overlooked in WWE - drugs. In his mind, that's probably more important than making bank while having a light schedule. Addicts will go out of their way to keep their habit.

Of course, that still makes him a moron, so I don't disagree with the general concensus.

 

[Jon Honcho]

If he weren't a constant problem with drugs then the title would be he's a genius. WWE pushes some wrestlers to over 300 days a year. That's crazy.
