WoN: WWE tried to rehire Jeff Hardy

[Canadian Dragon]

"Here is an update on Jeff Hardy. John Laurinaitis called Jeff Hardy to get him back a few weeks ago, including an offer to put him in the 2022 Hall of Fame class. Hardy turned it down and asked for his drug test results because he knew he wasn’t going to test positive for recreational drugs. It took Hardy and his wife six weeks to get the results back." is the quote. Hardy was clean.



Oooooooh boyyyyyy this got better

See, that's what Ali and everyone else who wants out should do. Pretend to be out of your mind on drugs, then you'll get your release

Starting to look more and more likely just leave in the middle of a match, maybe add some ramblings if they don't fall for it twice

he was just testing out the Brother Nero gimmick again since it was a house show, duh

Man, I'm having a hard time believing they offered him HOF I don't think they'd be that desperate to get him back even if he was clean and they just fucked up entirely

Idk about the hof thing but hes also a probably 1st year inductee when he retires so its not that out of the realms. maybe they want him under a legends deal which is the missing report here?

either way, I don't really have a hard time believing anything since they seem to be back to no-logical-sense hrings and firings and refusals to fire again. I could see them pushing for a rumble spot back, then a hog induction b4 mania. thats good promotion for them id say

 

[Chris]

A Rumble spot I'd buy easily, and nah I don't think Jeff even goes in solo anyway. I think they induct the Hardy Boys together and call it a day.

At this point I'm believing he passed that drug test most likely tho, just can't figure out why the leaving mid-match thing happened

concussion or trolling. 2 only options. maybe a bad reaction to something a distant 3rd option

 

[Canadian Dragon]

or maybe they were being dicks to him in the back already accusing him and he said lol fuck u then. but that i guess would fall under option 2 of trolling

 

[Canadian Dragon]

in either case, firing someone for refusing to go to rehab when they test clean is a ...decision

I'd still say depending on why he left mid-match it's still a fireable offense lol I don't think any of the other reports of him acting weird before that were ever corroborated though so it'd be just that one incident. But clearly, it wasn't that bad if they're trying to rehire him. I'd actually be quite upset if it was concussion-related, they're supposed to have a protocol in place for that shit, and if they just drug-tested him

That's the whole part of this thing that needs an answer. Maybe the WWE were being overly cautious with the situation but given who it was and his history, that isn't exactly a bad thing.

I don't buy he was trying to get fired either. He was about to work a program with the top guy in the company which he said in interviews he wanted not to mention it would put a major question mark on your character to your next employer.

I agree its a reprimandable offence but I'm not sure if firable. its a house show and it's still Jeff Hardy. I get not giving him the benefit of the doubt drug wise, but would it not be a bit more productive to maybe try and talk to the guy, especially after he tests clean. I think some assumptions were made by someone and a decision or words were said in haste on management side that fucked this up. And im not defending what hardy did if he did it on purpose (which makes even less sense) , I don't think you straight up fire a vet of that many years off assumptions. idk if that makes sense but to me that seems like a paranoid rushed bad business decision

This sounds like WWE is a nutcase as a company. I get drug testing, but they're withholding his test results in exchange for another leverage.

The fuck, Vince?
