Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted November 2, 2002 I happened to see this on a message board though. Jeff Has "Chronic Fatique Syndrome" Thats why he looks sick. He's had it for about a year now, and his work schedule has nothing to do with him getting it, you just get it. He looks pale and is slopy in the ring because he's tired. He's actually been doing good for having it, I mean he still does a full schedule like every other healthy person. WWE has been saying lately his spirits have been rising.

Guest papacita Report post Posted November 2, 2002 If that was the case, why would the WWE keep pushing him? Get him off the road until he can get himself together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics Report post Posted November 2, 2002 It sounds made up, but it is a real disease. it is called ME (but I don't know what is stands for, nor do I care) and used to be known as "yuppie flu" before someone made up the name chronic fatigue syndrome. Whether or not Jeff Hardy has it, is a different matter though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest spiny norman Report post Posted November 2, 2002 Okay, I've met two people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. When you get CFS, you stop anything too demanding IMMEDIATELY and get yourself cured ASAP. One of them recovered pretty quickly, the other took about a month or two, and is incredibly sickly; he has had disease after disease since. That said, I strongly doubt Jeff Hardy has the disease, and if he does Vince McMahon is extremely naughty for allowing him to keep going on as if all is normal.

Which is why I thought it sounded like bull to me. I don't know much about it, but I'd think Jeff would be gone from TV for a while in the past if it were true.

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted November 2, 2002 Baldfish, I am so groaning at your sig. I heard that Jeff has come down with Shitty Indy Wrestler Syndrome, where you turn into a spot machine because you suck at wrestling, but you're doing so much coke, even your spots get fucked up. I hope it's not true, I knew this one dude with it, he ended up being blinded by a weedwhacker doing a CZW show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest KingOfOldSchool Report post Posted November 2, 2002 Jeff looks healthy and still has great matches. ... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I concur. Jeff has never really been involved in great, or even good matches, aside from various Ladder, Table or TLC contests. He's noticably gone downhill since last year, in regular contests; and even before then, he was very questionable in the ring. Point is, outside of matches like the above, Jeff was never too good in the first place. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Jeff's case is very possible, and it does explain a lot, but I think whoever posted that may have been just bullshitting anyway. I take it as a simple case of wear and tear, and being on the road for far too long. For all his time in the WW_, I don't think he's ever had an extended break where he actually stepped back away from the ring fully and actually took the time to rest. Of course, any drug use and not caring about wrestling anymore could be just as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest KingOfOldSchool Report post Posted November 2, 2002 Eh, I've never seen the stuff. I'll take your word for it. But I'm just judging on his WWF/E work, and since the Hardyz push in '99, he's deteriorated plenty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BA_Baracus Report post Posted November 2, 2002 I think it's entirely possible he has it. Is he using drugs too? Sure...probably. He'd have to be at least addicted to painkillers considering he constantly takes crazy bumps and yet has never been on the injured list. As for everyone saying he's a totally crappy wrestler...I don't agree. 6 months ago everyone would have said the same thing about Matt, but now everyone on this board is creaming in their pants over "Mattitude". If he cleaned himself up and the WWE used him for something other than being thrown off tall things and pinned by fat slobs, he could have a lot of potential.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted November 2, 2002 Correction: HAD a lot of potential. I think Jeff's spine must have totally compressed or something. Even a TLC match went by where we didn't get any mind blowing bump. If his singles routine is still this dull by WM, I say it's time to pack it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunk 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2002 I had heard something about this aswell. I dont think it is completely impossible for it to be true. I had heard that CFS/ME has no strict cure, and tends to go away in the same way that you just develop it. If Jeff is fine on some days and tired on others, why would Vince not let him work? You can't really say to a guy, "Hmmmm, sorry no work for you tonight, because last tuesday you were looking very ill". Didn't both the Hardy Boyz have a break back when the writters "had nothing for the Hardyz to do", well couldn't it be true that Jeff's increasing tiredness back then was one of the factors that lead to that small break? Everyones quick to put the problem down to drugs, but the way in which Jeff has been frequently thrown around like a rag doll since I can remember, could more than likely be the cause of the fact that he is now burnt out. Cut the guy some slack. To my knowledge, theres no proof behind his drug taking lifestyle, and he's given us a number of memorable matches in his short career. People should be saying, "Whats wrong with Jeff? I wish he could get back to the old days when he had some potential" not "Screw the coke taking homosexual, he's crap" ChUnK!

Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted November 2, 2002 Please, I get contact high just looking at Jeff Hardy. I don't know if he's doing coke, crack, Alcohol, taking 10 pain killers a day, or a little bit of everything, but I have a hard time believing he is just "Tired." I give him Two years before he's touring the indys and Japan with Tammy & Chris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
