Jeff Hardy Released by WWE

[Tommy Fits]

So basically Jeff didn't feel like working one night, the WWE assumed it was drugs and fired him. The eventual drug test came back negative and they tried to rehire Jeff by enticing him with a HOF induction ?

That's what I'm hearing

So it’s what most of us thought, then.

- Jeff had a rough night where he wasn’t feeling it.

- Vince/Ace/TPTB jumped the gun and fired him after he turned down rehab.

- It comes back that Jeff WASN’T on that shyt, and they tried to hide it. And now they look funny for firing one of the most beloved wrestlers in the industry over the last 25 years for being burned out.

Was him being a healthy walkout of a match, mid match, caught on tape, just because he was tired, not a fireable offense? Personally I wouldn't but based on the industry it's worthy imo

Jeff Hardy pulled an Antonio Brown before Antonio Brown

 

[Jello Biafra]

Sounds to me like the "Jeff had the bubble guts" theory is the most likely explanation for what happened that night.

They sure as hell jump the gun on this one. Shame!

Now to play devil's advocate here. Can you blame them?

We've all seen the TNA incident.

Guarantee Vince and Co. thought the second coming of that incident was happening when they witnessed that shyt over at the House Show.

Nevertheless, unfortunate stuff all around.

I understand the thought process and agree on some level. But kn the same token, outside of like 1 incident breh has been clean for the most part for the last 10 years. The only skip ups happen when he’s out injured and not being kept busy. If anybody can get a little leeway, it should’ve been Jeff.

It just looks extra bad now knowing what we know and this is one of those things where they probably COULD’VE just taken his word for it instead of letting it get this far

For a Madcap Moss or Ridge Holland type, yes. But not for a company legend that’s been one of the most beloved wrestlers in the business for over two decades. There’s no way a guy of Jeff Hardy’s stature would get fired solely over a poor performance at a live event in Bumblef#ck, Texas.

"Now knowing what we know", what exactly do we know? All we know is he refused rehab, was released, took a drug test sometime, he went on tour, WWE took their sweet time giving results and at some point later tried to give him a legends contract.

If you believe the sheets, Jeff was next up to challenge Reigns. WWE isn't ran the best currently like everybody knows, they're still not inept enough to throw away main event spots off shyt that happened at a house show, especially when they were in the middle of building Jeff back up at the time and especially just throwing away a name like Jeff. So we still don't know much of anything that lead up to the release, we only know the fallout.

As for trust, I hate to say it as good of a guy Jeff is but TNA trusted Jeff and he stumbled to the ring and cut Sting with his nails and embarrassed the company. So...yeah.

Apparently Vince still wanted Jeff bad even after the felony charges in 09 and was shocked & upset he went to TNA. Again, why would they get rid of him over nothing if it was nothing? There's even no felonies or indictments this time around.

Yeah, true. Still something ain’t adding up with this but oh well.

I always hoped he would get one last title run in WWE. I guess it won’t happen at all anymore.
