Whatever any of you say simple fact is that end of the day Jeff Hardy is a draw. FACT. Obviously no where near as much as he was in WWE but still he will come back as one of the if not the most over people in TNA. And if he was to come back to WWE he would come back as instantly the number 4 face in WWE after Cena, Punk and Orton. So he may be a ''Druggy'' but he still draws a lot more money than the majority of the TNA or WWE roster.
I would love for you to show actual evidence to support your claims here. I will give you that he
was one of the more over wrestlers on TNA's roster before his disgraceful performance at Victory Road. Still, there is nothing to suggest his being in TNA made any significant change in their merchandise sales or television ratings. Their ratings have hovered between the 1.0 to 1.2 area for most of the past year. Hardy hasn't changed that, being there or being gone. If anyone can show me otherwise, I would truly love to see it.
You are also wrong on your assessment of him being a "druggy". Jeff Hardy is an addict, plain and simple. Hardy has been given multiple chances multiple times to clean up, but will not. That is a fact. He has blown every single "last chance" or "second chance" he has been given. When is enough enough with this man? He is selfish, arrogant, clearly believes he is above the law/rules, and is a shell of his former self due to his habit. The man is a ticking time bomb, bound to blow up on whatever promotion is foolish enough to use him.
I also read a couple of posters mention that Hardy should be brought back as a face. I actually laughed out loud at such a ridiculous notion. On what grounds could that be done in any believable way? How would you promote him in any positive light and have people get behind him? He has no passion for the business, has criminal charges and a court case looming ahead of him, has displayed irrational and irresponsible behavior since his suspension from television, has not attempted to even go to the rehab that he obviously needs, and portrays a character which is basically an extension of the out of touch junkie he is. I'm sorry, but there is no way this man can ever be a face in any rational world.
TNA did the right thing by washing their hands of Matt Hardy with his release. That brings them halfway to eliminating the Hardy problem. For reasons I don't understand, they haven't terminated Jeff. TNA needs to take a stand and not condone all the negatives that Jeff brings to the table. No matter how anyone tries to spin this situation, he clearly has brought more trouble then benefit for TNA. Hardy hasn't taken step one to reform himself. He shouldn't be brought back in any capacity. Send him home to his brother and let them fade into the obscurity that they both deserve.
