Guest Kid Kablam Report post Posted August 8, 2003 All this news from one Indy appearance… Jeff Hardy is being credited with driving ticket sales for Ring Of Honor. The previous highest attendance for a ROH show was 700 in queens, and the Hardy-attended show in New Jersey had over 1200 paid. It's said ticket sales picked up when Hardy was announced. Hardy was telling people at the show that he would be returning to WWE soon. While no such talks have taken place, it is assumed that if he cleaned himself up, WWE would take him back in an instant. He was upset with WWE for not paying him royalties from his book since he was released. Hardy is booked for another West Coast indy date this summer, but doesn’t plan on taking on more wrestling dates at this time. credit: Wrestling Observer Newsletter I got this off of 411 Wrestling THoughts?

I think a lot of people went to the show just to see what he would do- Not because they like him. I think it's safe to say that he did draw a lot of fans to the show Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detective Comics 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2003 It's hard to tell though. That was one of the best shows they've booked. Plus, wasn't it in a new, larger arena? I'm sure he sold a few tickets, but not as much as they give him credit for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted August 8, 2003 After seeing Jeff Hardy wrestle- In no way, shape or form should WWE even think of bringing him back I totally agree. But I think ROH should do whatever they can do get him back. His "spotmonkey" style and the fact that he is a draw for them, should be enough to bring him back.

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2003 They should bring Jeff back and make him into a big huge heel- since the fans hate him anyway. And then have Low Ki beat the piss out of him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2003 Jeff didn't draw shit for that show, IMO. I'd like to think it was because it was London's farewell, and it brought out some indy fans who would have otherwise skipped it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2003 Jeff was the big draw for the show Zack. I know a lot of people whose big reason for going was just to see what kind of Jeff Hardy would be there. London's farewell didn't really have anything to do with it. A lot of the crowd didn't even know it was his last show Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted August 8, 2003 Seems to me that people don't like him and because of that think he shouldn't be a draw. He clearly was a draw for ROH and ROH would not have brought him if he wasn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 8, 2003 They don't want to admit they Jeff was a draw so they are trying to deny it... If they came to boo him...he is still a draw. Funny how that is eh? WWF made it work with HTM...why can't ROH with Jeff? Although Jeff isn't a heel as far as I could tell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2003 I wouldn't mind having Jeff back as long as he was a heel and quit smoking crack. A Rico/Jeff tag team right now would be.. hmm.. yeah According to original plans, they were actually supposed to have a feud sometime this year before Jeff got himself fired. The angle was that Rico didn't like Jeff's "extreme" attitude, body paint, and dress attire because it set a bad example in fashion. Rico was supposed to go over Jeff and Jeff was gonna dress "more profressionally", I'm guessing something along the lines of RTC. Of course, while this was in planning, Rico was still the evil fasion stylist guru and not Adrian Street Jr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heels can draw just as much as faces. No-one here needs their intelligence insulted by having to sit through me listing all the phenominally successful and bankable heels there have been over the years. Hardy drew cash.

Guest Kamui Report post Posted August 9, 2003 that section? Those are the ones who got those big gates for ROH That section added an extra 100-200 AT MOST! With 900-1000 without Hardy, they still would have gotten their biggest gate, because almost everyone that was there seemed to be there to see: -AJ Styles -Raven -The London farewell. From talking to people and just seeing how they reacted, those were the three big draws of that show. -Duo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
