About the Jeff Hardy Debacle at Victory Road
"I want to be careful with my words here because I really like  Jeff  Hardy," Sting said. "I’m hoping he can come back because that guy  is so  talented, but he has personal issues in his life and it just  became  too much for him, too overwhelming, and he just couldn’t cope and   didn’t know how to handle it. 
"So he made some bad choices and he’s having to deal with those choices   and the consequences now. I hear he’s doing much, much better. Last I   heard, he was riding his bike 10 miles a day and just getting in great   shape and his life was getting in some kind of order...
Sting was also asked whether it's true that no one seemed to know what   was going on with Hardy at Victory Road until shortly before the match.   "That’s pretty accurate. I’d say a good 45 minutes to an hour before  the  match actually happened, things started to deteriorate, and I just   went, “Oh, boy.†I kept hoping maybe somehow or another he’ll come to   his senses and snap out of it, but it didn’t happen. It was just out of   hand and I didn’t have a choice other than to do what I did."
On Whether He Was Close to Signing With WWE
"Yes, I was contacted  by WWE people," Sting said. "The vignettes I can  honestly tell you that  I do not understand that one even now, unless it  was some kind of deal  where they were just trying to test the waters, I  really don’t know,  because so many people were saying, “I hope it’s  Sting, I hope it’s  Sting.'
"I thought, 'Gosh, I wonder if they’re going to shoot themselves in the   foot there by making this choice, because if things do not work out,  why  did they do it to begin with?' I had all kinds of things going  through  my head. But, yeah, I was very, very close to going up there,  and I  believe there probably would have been something with Undertaker.  That  was the word at least." To read the full interview, visit
