Guest teke184 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 (edited) According to this week's Wrestling Observer, Jeff Hardy was released from the WWE because he had failed two drug tests and refused to go in for treatment. His suspensions from house shows were actually a punishment for failing his first test, which is contrary to the public story that they were giving him time off because he'd requested it. No specific drug was specified in the article. Clarification upon re-reading the story- Jeff's SECOND house show suspension was an indefinite suspension from all house shows as punishment for failing drug tests. There was no mention of the first time he was taken off the house show circuit after all. Thoughts- It's always nice to get confirmation of something you're 99% sure on... even casual fans could tell there was something wrong with Jeff in the ring and it was only a matter of time before he killed himself or someone else. While his problems are troubling, at least he's acknowledged that he is incapable of wrestling for TNA right now due to his condition. That is at least better than Scott Hall, who had notorious problems but would continue to work until suspended rather than trying to solve them before returning to work. Edited May 2, 2003 by teke184
Guest Blue Bacchus Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 At the rate people have been dropping like flies, Hardy is damn lucky to be around.
Guest Lightning Flik Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 You know, I was kinda piting Hardy. Now that it is true that he was doing drugs, then I really don't feel sorry or anything for him. At least he knows that he needs help.
Guest Bart913 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Does the Observer say anything about his release terms? Would he be allowed to go to TNA any time soon if he wants to?
Guest teke184 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Meltz said that the WWE feels that the nature of his release forbids him from joining TNA before his contract would have expired, although he feels they wouldn't put the necessary effort into stopping him if he wants to go.
Guest Damn You Helmsley Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 If Jeff needed an injection of anything it was Mattitude.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Going to TNA should be the furthest thing from his mind at this point.
Zetterberg is God Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 You can't really blame the guy for doing drugs after all the sick bumps he's taken. But he was still a danger to himself and others so he deserved what he got.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 WWE do drugs tests? With HHH around? Que?
Guest AndrewTS Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 DRUGS! I KNEW IT!!! WE ALL KNEW IT!! Unless it was steroids....BWAHAHAH!
Guest Lightning Flik Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 WWE do drugs tests? With HHH around? Que? Probably for crack and heroine. But yeah, now that I think about it, since when does the WWE do drug tests?
Guest AndrewTS Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 WWE do drugs tests? With HHH around? Que? Yes. Why do you think they keep guys like 3MW and Spike Dudley around? "Five bucks if ya piss in this cup for me-uh."
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Yeah right, like 3MW could piss in a cup without help. Maybe thats why they have Rico.....
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Yes, HHH probably has Spike Dudley as his pee cup bitch. Did Hurricane jump brands so he could substitute for Steiner or something?
Guest SP-1 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 I'll prolly catch board heat for saying it, but if he's clean and healthy, I think Jeff has a ton of potential as a wrestler. Damn WWE 'Style' has locked him into predictable spotfest matches and he's gotten lost in the brand split shuffle. Get cleaned up, Jeff. I want to see you out there again when you're ready.
Guest teke184 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 According to Meltzer, the WWE only does testing when they feel it's necessary. Apparently they see nothing wrong with BPP's freakishly long arms or the 150 pounds of muscle that Trips has put on since late 1995.
Guest commie_050 Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 So what was he on? I'm guessing a potent mix of pot, PCP, cystal meth and ectasy.
Guest Galactic Gigolo Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 I doubt Jeff was doing ecstasy. I've hung around with a lot of people while they're on and off ecstasy, and Jeff's persona just didn't seem to fit most of their's. Remember when a few people were screaming about Keith making jokes about Hardy's drug use when they weren't yet proven. Well, there's the proof. Next up: Pictures of Hardy and Bradshaw going at it to prove that Hardy is gay too.
Guest Memphis Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 It shouldn't matter if he's gay or not, because that's not a problem. All it will do is justify our smark-like-supremeness. Remember... Puro Legend Tatsumi Fujinami says "Being gay is A-OK" Good one, Tatsumi. M
Guest Choken One Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 Actully...I wouldn't be too alarmed about HHH because he LOOKS normal compared to Hardy and Steiner... Hell, Steiner looks like he SCALED back as of late...
Guest Anglesault Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 You can't really blame the guy for doing drugs after all the sick bumps he's taken. Just watch me
Guest Choken One Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 When you go through Pain...Drugs are sometimes the best alternative to eliminate the pain...
Guest Memphis Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 I'm with AS, Jeff Hardy should get some real wrestling training and work the mat-based stuff. Constant highspots are for ECW mutants and former XPW employees.
Rob E Dangerously Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 I'm with AS, Jeff Hardy should get some real wrestling training and work the mat-based stuff. Constant highspots are for ECW mutants and former XPW employees. Now, wouldn't that just stun his fans. You know if he wrestled on the mat and all, he'd probably be a heel.
Guest Memphis Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 In order for Hardy to stun his fans he'd have to do more than mat-wrestle. For starters, he'd need to actually, you know, get fans. M
Guest Choken One Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 Ok...Um...That was like a HUGELY stupid comment... Jeff Hardy has TONS and TONS and TONS of fans... You may recongize them as Over weight or skinny anas that go BONZO over him at any WWE Show... Why else do you think Hardy Merch sold so well over the last 4 years? That Damn pendant has been #1 for 6 months MAN!
Guest ViciousFish Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 In order for Hardy to stun his fans he'd have to do more than mat-wrestle. For starters, he'd need to actually, you know, get fans. M Hardy has tons of fans. Most are just pubescent girls
Guest Memphis Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 I was kidding. No need to go and make up retarded words like 'hugely' to counter my sense of humour now. M
Guest Choken One Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 Hugely isn't a word? I'll be doubled nipple twisted!
LooseCannon25 Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 Well, Jeff Hardy's a crackhead and got caught. I dont agree with the argument that it was understandable to take drugs cause he was in pain. Every one of these guys bust there asses every night and are in constant pain, its not just Jeff. As far as HHH and Steiner.....there are legal enhancers out there, like the one that Mark McGwire was taking some years ago which caused a big controversy
