Pre-Show Stalwart
I haven't been watching TNA regularly as of late so I could be a little off-base, but I did tune in for a bit tonight and I had previously seen it a few times since Jeff Hardy has been back...
I think it's rather foolish that TNA is using Jeff's real-life drug issues in the storylines with him. Granted, it's hard to avoid not mentioning it because of his display at the PPV before he left...but let him explain it once (which he did) and be done with it. Move on and leave it behind you if you want Jeff in your company, and just let him wrestle.
If I was TNA, I wouldn't trust Jeff to the point of talking him up as overcoming his demons. He's proven a few times in the past that he really doesn't deserve that level of trust. I sincerely hope the issues are behind him now, but if they're not...well, since TNA keeps mentioning it on television it could come back to hurt them way more than it otherwise would.
Is anyone else bothered by this? I just feel that TNA is playing with fire on this one, and it's really an unnecessary risk.
