Hardy, Khali & Mysterio Won Raw's Triple Tag Match
WWE RAW June 22, 2009 Green Bay, WI Commentators: Michael Cole & Jerry The King Lawler Reported By: Hunter Golden of WrestleView.com
Jeff Hardy, The Great Khali & Rey Mysterio vs Edge, Chris Jericho & Dolph Ziggler
Khali began clubbing away at Ziggler in the corner, chopping away at him before Chris Jericho tagged in. Khali picked up Jericho and threw him across the ring and then clotheslined him to the outside of the ring before Edge and Ziggler tried to topple Khali in succession, but got thrown out themselves. Hardy launched himself into the crowd of heels on the outside before Rey used Khali to launch himself.
Khali actually attempted a dive of his own, but got cut off by Edge before he got the chance. Rey tagged in and set up Jericho for a 619, but Edge caught his feet. The heels worked over Rey briefly before Ziggler tagged in and Rey was able to wiggle away and tag Jeff Hardy. Jeff hit a face buster only before Edge cut him off with a spear. All hell broke loose before Rey hit an asai moonsault to the outside on Jericho and Edge & Khali cleared out to the floor. Hardy was left in the ring with Ziggler and he hit a twist of fate for the win.
Winners: Jeff Hardy, Great Khali and Rey Mysterio via pin fall
CM Punk entered the ring to raise Hardy's hand. Hardy didn't take to Punk trying to upstage him.
Josh Matthews is in the ring. Matthews mentions that on Raw Smackdowns General Manager Theodore Long announced a championship match. CM Punk will take on former World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy. Jeff Hardy comes out to a tremendous pop. Todd Grisham correctly calls something, mentioning there are loud ovations and then there are Jeff Hardy ovations.
Jeff Hardy gets in the ring and Matthews mentions that two weeks ago he reached the top again, becoming World Heavyweight Champion again despite those who said hed never make it there again. They now show clips of the Ladder Match, including the big ladder bump on the outside and the mid-air Twist of Fate. I believe that finish to the ladder match was one of the most creative Ive seen.
Matthews mentions it must have been an amazing moment and cant imagine how it mustve felt to become a World Champion. With that said he cant imagine how he must have felt when this happened. They now show CM Punk making his way out to the ring to cash in his Money in the Bank contract. Hardy kicks out of one GTS but cant kick out of a second one and CM Punk becomes the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Matthews now mentions to make things even worse just when it looked like he was going to become World Heavyweight Champion again, this happens. They now show the ending of the match on Raw, where Jeff Hardy looked to have it won with the Swanton Bomb only for Punk to pull him out of the ring and steal the win for himself.
Matthews mentions that it seems like he cant get a break and that the World Heavyweight Championship seems to elude him. Gee, way to rub it in guy. Hardy mentions its cool and he doesnt live in the past he lives in and for the moment. At the Bash he has CM Punk one on one and he knows, along with each and every fan, that he will beat CM Punk. Matthews says weve heard Jeffs point of view so its only fair we hear his opponents. Matthews now introduces World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, who comes out to boos.
CM Punk gets in the ring and Matthews mentions that many people feel that he took advantage of a vulnerable Jeff Hardy at Extreme Rules, and at this past Monday nights Raw he stole another victory from Jeff Hardy. Punk says the only thing he took advantage of at Extreme Rules was an opportunity to cash in his Money in the Bank contract, which he did successfully and well within the rules. Hardy knows this, as does the fans, that no where in the contract does it say, Under no circumstances are you to cash in on Jeff Hardy. As far as stealing the match on Monday, he takes offense to that. Hes never stolen anything in his life. He didnt ask the medical staff to come to ringside; they were just doing their job. Hardy was doing his job, and he did his job by successfully defending the World Heavyweight Championship.
Punk says that Hardy knows this as well as he does when hes in the ring he doesnt need to be a guys best friend; hes their competitor. Hardy says Punk is right, in the ring theyre not friends, and they couldnt be more different. He lives his life they way he does and Punk lives his they way he does. Punk says thats right he lives his life the way he does, and Hardy lives his life the way he does. Punk stretched that out I like that! Hardy says their differences will collide at the Bash and he will take back what he earned at Extreme Rules the World Heavyweight Championship.
Josh Matthews thanks them and asks the audience to give it up for Jeff Hardy, and they pop. Matthews asks them to give it up for CM Punk, and they boo. After the break Jeff Hardy will take on Chris Jericho.
-Commercial Break-
Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Jericho
This is a non-title match. The match starts and they circle the ring before locking up. Jericho quickly gets a headlock on and Hardy just as quickly whips him off but Jericho is able to shoulder block him down. Jericho taunts for a moment before going into the ropes, over Hardy, and right into a dropkick. Hardy whips Jericho into the corner and hits a corner clothesline. Hardy whips him to the opposite corner and hits a clothesline there as well. Hardy goes for his slingshot dropkick but Jericho moves and Hardy hits the mat hard.
Jericho hits a nice suplex on Hardy for a near fall. Jericho gets Hardy up and Hardy hits some punches. Hardy has a whip reversed on him and Jericho slaps on an abdominal stretch. Jericho holds it on for a bit but Hardy eventually counters out with a hip toss. Hardy comes back with a spinning lariat and an inverted atomic drop. Hardy connects with a double leg drop to the midsection and a low dropkick to the face for a two count. Jericho is in the corner and Hardy runs into his boot. Jericho comes out for a clothesline but Hardy ducks it and hits Whisper in the Wind out of nowhere for a near fall.
Hardy goes for a flipping mule kick but Jericho throws him off. Jericho goes for the Walls of Jericho but Hardy powers out. Hardy goes for a Twist of Fate but Jericho counters with a back suplex.

Hardy is still on the top rope so he flies off to the outside but Jericho side steps him and Hardy smashes his face on the barricade.
Jericho throws Hardy into the barricade a couple of times before throwing him back in the ring. All of a sudden Jericho turns around and Rey Mysterio jumps off the barricade with a hurricanrana and Jericho smashes his face into the ring post! Mysterio goes back and sits with the fans. The ref didnt see anything as he was tending to Jeff Hardy. The referee begins counting and counts Jericho out!
We talk to the WWE star about beatinh HHH, landscaping and meeting soldiers.
December 18, 2007 - Jeff Hardy's coming off the hottest weekend of his career. A win over Triple H at Sunday's Armaggeddon pay-per-view not only gave him a huge victory over arguably the company's biggest star, but it catapulted him into the number one contendership, which puts him in line to face Randy Orton at the upcoming Royal Rumble. IGN spoke to Jeff on Tuesday to discuss his recent success and his recent trip visiting soldiers stationed in the Middle East.
IGN: Obviously, it's been a big week for you, following your victory on Sunday over Triple H. What's it feel like for the company to put that much confidence in you?
Jeff: I've been on somewhat of a roll, yeah! It feels like a lot of pressure first and foremost, but at the same time, I know I can do it, so it's been very good. I don't let the pressure get to me, and with this roll that I'm on, as long as I remain Jeff Hardy, as long as I'm humble, it'll be great.
IGN: Assuming that the match with you and Randy Orton occurs at the Royal Rumble, would you consider that the most important match of your career?
Jeff: All the TLC matches I'm extremely fond of, because they were such a highlight of my career and Matt's, and Edge's. We raised the bar at that point, but at the same time, we've gotten back to basics by necessity. The HHH match was the biggest night of my career so far, and the match against Randy Orton could be the new biggest one of my career, especially if I win.
IGN: When you were wrestling in bars in North Carolina and working as an underneath guy for the then-WWF back in the late-nineties, did you always think you'd get to this point, or did you have your doubts?
Jeff: There were a lot of times when we would doubt ourselves. We starved for a long time: I was landscaping, and Matt was running around, getting sponsors for our shows. We were hurting for money. There were tons of times were our dad would disbelieve in what we did, but we stuck with it. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew it would happen, and it just played out like it was meant to be and now here I am. I feel bad that Matt's not enjoying it right now because he's hurt, but
IGN: Actually, how is Matt doing?
Jeff: Matt's good, he's at home, his appendix burst when he was in Tampa, so he goes home, he's out of the hospital one week, and he starts having chills and fevers. He went back in and had to get 40 more cc's of infection out of his toe. Now, this is the best he's felt since this all started.
IGN: What was it like to team back up with your brother? Would you want to return to teaming with him again at some point, or do you want to stay a singles wrestler at this point?
Jeff: For now, I think it's important I establish myself as a singles guy because I have a great opportunity here, and I need to surf this wave until I crash, metaphorically. Matt's out, and I love tag team wrestling, but the only person I want to team with is Matt. It's a lot of fun teaming with HHH, but I'm focused on my singles career.
IGN: You've never really had an extended program in the WWE working against Matt. Would you like to do a long-term storyline with him at some point?
Jeff: Oh, sure, I think it could be an amazing angle. Back in the day, he was always a believer in people wanting to see us fight. Me, I kinda think that brothers get into fights all the time, just by their nature. If we do it right, oh my god, that could be a year-long feud, and hopefully, we'll get to that. It's not anywhere we should go soon, but something for a couple of years down the road. I always remember the matches between Owen and Bret Hart, I'd love to live up to that, and even have a brotherly feud that tops that.
IGN: One of the most harrowing moments of the year in the ring was the ladder match you had with MNM, when Joey Matthews ended up breaking his noise on a ladder spot gone wrong. What do you do in that sort of situation?
Jeff: You know, that night was so weird for me. I was oblivious to the fact that his nose was off his face until after the match. I was down after I dove, and I didn't turn around, and the next thing I know, Joey Matthews is gone and there's blood everywhere around the ring. I didn't know until after the match, but it was vicious. It doesn't take much to hurt yourself if you don't protect yourself in those sort of matches.
IGN: What's it like to travel to the Middle East and visit the United States soldiers stationed there?
Jeff: It's killer, man. I was a little more adapted to it this year after going for the first time last year. It's kinda creepy at first, but you can sense the morale boost with the guys. They're gone 15 months at a time, and there are a few entertainers who go, but we're the ones who really go to the bases in the middle of nowhere and hang out with the troops.
Me, Rey Mysterio, and Umaga threw hatchets with them, just passing time, in the middle of nowhere. We got to shoot some guns, which is always fun. Being there for three or four days is nothing compared to 15 months, so I give them massive props for what they do.
IGN: Do you play video games at all?
Jeff: I'm not that big of a gamer, but this week, I did some of the new liners for next year's game. I got a copy of the Wii game, and I've seen the graphics, and they're amazing. I've got six, seven days off and I might get a setup and check it out. I'd like to try the Wii game.
Didn't you do motion capture for WWE Attitude?
Jeff: Yeah! Back in the attitude era, Matt and I put the suits on them with all the little balls on them, it was brutal, man! We did well over 1000 moves, and if one of those things come off, you had to do them all over again. I don't know if that's still around, or how they make games today, but yeah, that was brutal.
Jeff Hardy was interviewed this week on the WFJF radio station in Washington, D.C. Hardy talked about the recent fire that claimed his home and pet dog. Jeff calls the fire "the saddest day of [his] adult life."
Hardy said, "Forget about the demons and substances, man, I lost my home. That was huge, but I'm in a better place now. We're staying with Matt. We're gonna rebuild on the same area. We're doing good, man. We're hanging in there. We gotta move on. I lost my dog and everything I had in my house and now I gotta move on."
He also talks about several nagging injuries, including herniated discs in his neck and back. To listen to the full interview, visit WJFK.com. The interview begins around the 12-minue mark.
This is Ryan Rider with Steve Rockamaniac by my side and we are about to be joined by a man who has been amidst some controversy in the last few months but at the same time has also achieved quite a lot of success. I would like to welcome our guest for today right away, none other than Jeff Hardyâ¦
Q: First off, welcome back to World Wrestling Entertainment! With the draft coming up this Monday on Raw on the Score and USA network (cheap plug), things seem to be heating up for the summer. Would you mind being traded or would you prefer to stay on the Raw brand?
A: I would prefer to be on the Raw side because of the fact that it's live. If I were to getting traded though, you know, I'm cool to go anywhere.
Q: Seeing as things are going to be switching around, who would you like to face that you either haven't had a chance to wrestle yet or just haven't been able to wrestle with enough?
A: I wouldn't mind wrestling Batista, I've only worked with him in one match. If it came down to me going to Smackdown, I wouldn't mind working with MVP; I had a match with him not too long ago and it went pretty well. I'm pretty easy to get along with and I'll work with anybody and try to be entertaining.
Q: So with the draft coming up, would you prefer to be back on the same brand with your brother Matt or do you want to stay separate?
A: I think it would be cool if we were on the same brand but as far as the company wants to keep us on separate brands for some reason. They want us to be established more and more as individual stars but it would be pretty cool to be on the same brand again and team whenever we want to and may even be opponents at some point.
Q: Earlier this year you were riding a wave of unforeseen popularity, nearly capturing the WWE championship and having nice reign with the Intercontinental title. Of course, that was cut short by your suspension on March 11th. If you don't mind me asking, how exactly did the suspension come to be and have you been able to overcome whatever issues you were plagued with at the time?
A: Absolutely, everything's been cleaned up. I've made two mistakes so far but other than losing out on Wrestlemania and losing the Intercontinental title, I've lost a lot more man. I lost my house to the house fire, and that was pretty much the saddest day of my adult life. Getting through that was really tough man, I didn't even know if I wanted to be back on TV after all that went down. Now I've got past that and I'm back on TV and I'm in a better place. Thank G-d Matt [Hardy] was here. I've made some mistakes and I don't plan to make any more.
Q: We all heard about your house fire, which was very sad news, have you been able to get a new house?
A: It's a long process. They've already got the plans laid out, we're going to use the foundation from the house that burnt down but it's going to take 6 months to a year for it to be built. I'm pretty excited about that but in the meantime I'm living with Matt. It's been very overwhelming [the helpfulness and response from the fans]. I also knew that we had a big fan base but I mean we had to take a truck every day to pick up all the boxes of fan mail that we got. It mean't a lot to have that much support.
Q: In the past, specifically towards the end of your last run in WWE, you suffered from burnouts at times and it seemed like you just weren't into the matches at some points. What's different now compared to a few years ago?
A: I was extremely burned out back in those days when I was first released. I didn't care; I was so tired of wrestling. The biggest change in me now is that I've realized that it is a gift I have and that I need to take advantage of while I can and while I'm still fairly young. I really know that now. And it's still tough with the brutal schedule, working all the time and with me there's no time for other hobbies, there's none.
Q: How would you describe your time working in TNA and made you decide to come back to the WWE last year?
A: TNA was fun; I went through a pretty cool journey with them going from being on PPV once a week to going on SpikeTV. More than anything, they were in Orlando all the time and it's the same crowd. You didn't get to be a part of the big Wrestlemanias, the huge crowds, that's the main thing I missed. I wanted to prove to myself that I could go back to the WWE and be good once again. It made my brother extremely proud too because we wanted to team again and we've done that. More than anything, I missed the crowds and I missed being a part of Wrestlemania. I didn't miss the schedule that's for sure.
Q: Well, welcome back then. You mentioned your brother, do you prefer tag team wrestling or singles competition?
A: I'll always prefer tag team wrestling because that's my claim to fame and where we got started and where we gained our popularity. It's a lot easier to do a tag-team match because when you're a singles guy there's no rest time and you have to work a lot more, and be in a lot better shape. I enjoy both but I'll always love teaming with Matt and every time we team together it feels special.
Q: Generally you have always worked a face, a major fan favourite, would you ever be open to do a heel run?
A: Before I'm done, most definitely. There's a lot of people out there who will doubt if that could ever happen, but back in the OMEGA days I played a character named Will O' the Wisp and I was a tweener both good and bad. But I would love to have a heel run in the WWE, I think that would be a blast. It would show a different side of the Hardyz, it would be very cool and very unexpected.
Q: How's your body feeling by the way? Have you been able to keep up with the more intense schedule again in the WWE?
I'm hanging in there man. I've been pretty fortunate. I haven't had any surgeries and I'm 30 now, turning 31 in August. However, I'm sore all the time, my ankles are really weak. If I don't get my ankles taped before a match, I feel like they're gonna break. My knees actually feel kinda weak and my elbows feel kinda weak, but I'm still holding together. Luckily I've had no surgeries but I do have two herniated discs, one in my lower back and one in my neck so that bothers me quite a bit. Knock on wood, I'm held together by something.
Q: You've had quite a lot of classic matches, but I've got to ask you: which one do you consider to be your best?
A: I would probably say as a singles guy, the ladder match against the Undertaker [July 1st 2002 Raw]. It was a huge thing for me at the time. And then obviously all the TLC matches are all on my favorite list: particularly the one we had in Raleigh where Matt was hanging on the rung, that was one of my creations and something I always wanted to do. All the TLC matches are very lovable in retrospect.
Q: You've been in and out of the WWE several times. How are things different from when you first came back in the early 90's to now in 2008?
A: It's changed a lot. There were a lot of new faces when I first came back. It's actually pretty weird, because I'm treated like a veteran now because there are so many younger talents that are there. That's probably the biggest difference, feeling like a veteran.
Q: On Michael Hayes' Influence early on in his career: He was our wrestling mentor, kind of like our father. He taught us a lot of the basic things that you need to know to be a top guy.
His thoughts on the New Brood: It was a blast, I've always been a big fan of vampires. It was awesome to switch places with Edge and Christian and join Gangrell. I got to paint my fingers black and be evil. It was a great opportunity and that was one of the coolest things ever doing our entrance coming up with the elevator up to the fire. It was really fun. You could feel the heat a little bit, but it wasn't that bad.
Working with HHH: I've got nothing bad to say about HHH. He's always been really cool and he's done a lot for me. When I made my mistakes, it let some people down and he was one of those guys. He's been very supportive since I've been back and I think he's a great athlete and a great performer.
Q: This year you've had some brutal back and forth action with Umaga most recently with that big leap at One Night Stand. Do you have any plans on toning things down as you move towards that main event title push?
A: I think I have toned it down already quite a bit. I think I'll always as far as jumping off things it is a part of my character and I'll do it as long as I can. I've been alright with the things I've done so far. I've toned it down quite a bit and I'm pretty comfortable to know what I can and cannot do. As long as I'm comfortable in my own skin doing something then I usually roll with it.
Q: We've seen you do all sorts of crazy moves and matches. What is the next stage in the innovation of Jeff Hardy?
A: I'm kind of running out of things man actually. I think that one of the biggest stages in my career would be an out of nowhere heel turn. It's very possible that that won't happen but it would be a good way to show a different side of my personality. Merchandise has been awesome for me which would be one of the factors going against a potential heel turn. For me, it would be pretty exciting as far as a challenge to see if I could do it well. As far as now though, I've done quite a bit and so much has been done but I feel like I'll keep trying to create interesting moves but it will get harder and harder as time goes on. Too much has been done.
Q: Looking into the near future: what are your immediate goals and will you be able to stay clean?
A: Definitely. After my last suspension, it has definitely opened my eyes. Back in the day, I was addicted, I really was. I got through that time and now I'm on my last leg in the WWE and if I fall off this horse I won't be back on it. I got over my addictions naturally, it was just a phase I went through you know. I don't regret anything I've done; I think everything happens for a reason. I don't regret any of the choices in my life, any mistakes I've made. I looked at myself and said you've gotta stop this and then now here I am.
Q: Do you aspire to go for any of the World championships in the upcoming months?:
A: That's always something. That's the title to win, one of the heavyweight championships, are the only ones that I have yet to have. Well actually I've never been the U.S. champ either; I'd like to have them all. I kind of see myself in the running [for the world titles] as long as everything goes well whether I'm on Smackdown or Raw no matter what.
Q: Jeff Hardy, I want to thank you for joining us on the Main Event today and for being so honest and well-spoken about everything. Best of luck in the future and who knows if you're able to stay motivated, the next time we talk you might just be a World Champion!
Jeff Hardy has been through plenty of highs and lows over the past year. Last December, he defeated Triple H at Armageddon which was arguably the biggest win of his singles career and seemed to be on the road to winning the WWE Championship. That changed in March when he was suspended for 60 days after violating the WWE Wellness Policy for a second time which also cost him his spot at WrestleMania 24 here in Orlando. Things got even worse for him later that week when his home burned down and he lost everything he owned as well as his dog to the fire.
Now, Hardy is back and once again looks to be on track to possibly winning his first world title. This Sunday night at the WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view, he will face both Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov in a triple threat match for the WWE Championship. Yesterday, I spoke with the immensely popular Hardy about this past year, his future with the WWE and more.
Last week when we saw you on TV, you had a bit of an edge. Do you think this is a rebirth of yourself?
In a way, yeah, it kind of is. I think that bringing the paint back showed an edgier side of me. I did that years ago in the past and I think it brings a new demeanor to my character and at a very unpredictable stage of my career of not knowing what Im going to do next which is pretty exciting.
At the same time, when you have that bit of an edge and you go with a match last that (Hardy had an extreme rules match against The Undertaker last week on Smackdown) which you probably wont have all the time but with the extreme rules and trying to bring that back a bit, how much more painful can that be?
Yeah, that match is different from a regular match. Theres more risk involved and whatever but honestly, thats been my comfort zone throughout my career and, in my opinion, I think I can go out there when I have utensils like ladders and chairs and have a much better match. At the same time, like you said, theres more risk involved and it can be hard on your body. But I find myself in a comfort zone with that. I like that role.
How much more do you weigh those opportunities when it comes to the more dangerous things? Do you think twice about that more now as youve been in wrestling for a while or go out there and try not to think about it and throw caution to the wind?
Yeah, I try to throw caution to the wind. I think a lot of times when you do hesitate is when you do end up getting hurt in a lot of scenarios like that. You know, it is nerve racking to dive off scaffles or big ladders or anything because its pretty creepy. Its not knowing when youre going to get back up from what youre about to do. But luckily, Im 31 now and Ive got a lot to be proud of and to be thankful for and I have been so fortunate and so lucky throughout my career that Ive had no surgeries yet and I want to keep it that way. Yeah, I just try to take it show to show and hope for the best.
How is that even possible, considering everything youve done, that youve never had a surgery?
You know, your guess is as good as mine. My brother (Matt Hardy) has already had his knee done and his elbow scoped. A lot of guys at a younger age than what Im at have had loads of surgeries. Ive been lucky and fortunate and hopefully I keep it that way.
Im assuming there is a bit of a competitive nature between yourself and your brother Matt. Has he teased you about becoming a singles world champion before you?
Not really verbally or anything terrible like Im better than you type of way but he knows. I think he totally deserves it because the biggest difference between Matt and myself is hes a lot more hes wrestling straight up. He dont have as many other interests. Hes not the type of guy that likes to go out there and buy a canvas and just start painting or go off and buy a motorcycle and ride it. Hes pretty much straightforward when it comes to wrestling where I have those other interests and thats kind of distracted me in the past. Now, Im at a point in my career where I kind of have to be committed to WWE and doing my job because I dont have time to do those other things. And with this new character its not exactly a new character with this new edge as you said, its fun. Its fun for me to paint up again and do something different and show another side of Jeff Hardy that people may not think Im capable of.
Because you do have so many other interests, not to say that you dont take wrestling serious, but how much would it mean for you to win a world title?
It would mean the world, definitely, because from our childhood thats always been a dream to become the world champion. Ive had a lot of titles in the past and to complete the collection would be great before its all said and done, before Im done in the ring. It would be great to say I have been WWE Champion. Hopefully Im on the verge of that. Ive come close so many times and there is an interesting story in there. I think thats why a lot of people are attached to it and they want to see me succeed in that light. But if I never do, I wont downgrade myself or think low of myself because I have accomplished a lot and I have a lot to be proud of. Im proud of who I am and what Ive done.
What were your thoughts of WWE putting that in a story and talking about how youve come so close but cant seem to get over the hump?
Its fine with me. I think its just drive and push and motivation, especially with some of the stuff you saw between Triple H and myself exchange and hes always gave me a hard time about that and always came out on top. Once again, it goes back to that never giving up scenario and still just believing in your dream and doing everything it will take to capture that. Its just motivation and drive. When people say I cant, the more I want it and the more I want to do it.
Its been quite the year for you. You began the year getting the biggest singles push of your life and then you got suspended, you missed WrestleMania, there was the fire to your house where you lost your dog. Can you put into words what this year has been like for you?
The first of the year was very tough. I have labeled that Matt and I, when I was 9 years old and Matt was 12, we lost our mom, by far the saddest day of my childhood life. Yeah, losing my home and everything I didnt live in a mansion but still, the fact that it was a mansion to me and losing my dog which was my world and that was such a hard time. Ive definitely labeled that the saddest day of my adult life up to date. But, you know, tragedies you get through them and you continue on and you move on and now everything is going well with the new home and everything is going good with work. Im pretty beat up my body is. Nevertheless, it could be a lot worse. Im just thankful, very thankful for where Im at.
Did you buy another trailer or did get you a regular home a house?
You know, I was young and anxious to get out on my own. I didnt know how long I would be wrestling and I wanted to get something I could pay for. Thats why I bought my double-wide trailer. We always planned to build a house although you never expect anything like that to happen to you. This house is awesome. Its like 4500 square feet, all brick, basement, one story. After all of that went down and you were able to come back, was it difficult for you to come back after going through all that or were you anxious to come back so it could take your mind off everything?
It was a little bit of both. A part of me kind of like was nervous about it but another part of me was anxious to get back and get back on the scene and get it over with like all the questions and all the oh my God, how do you get through something like that. Just to kind of prove people wrong not prove people wrong but come back from getting knocked down and get back up kind of deal. I have to be thankful too for such a great fan following with so many people supporting me through the ups and downs, through the bad and good. I respect my fans more than anything because I still owe them my career. If it werent for them, I wouldnt be where Im at today and I thank them for that.
What are some of the more interesting things you received from fans following all of that?
Its pretty much mainly memorabilia, a lot of clothing and stuff. Its a weird thing you hear the stories but when it happens to you and its weird when the only clothes you have are the ones on your back. So naturally we got a lot of clothes and a lot of action figures and magazines and all of the memorabilia wrestling-wise. I got a lot of that stuff and a lot of that stuff is in the new house and it just builds up and builds up. Weve got so much. In Matts basement there is so much to still go through that we received. Obviously, mainly clothing and wrestling memorabilia.
After the suspension, when you went back on the road did you ever feel like the office had lost confidence in you because that can happen after you go through something like that?
Yeah. Oh, for sure. I still think they probably question the dependency as far as if they can really depend on me. But, I mean, Ive done a lot in the WWE and for the company and I think the least they can do is depend on me. So, theres probably a few people out there going yeah, he shouldnt have another chance. Ive been more than kind to so many people across the world in my career and went out of my way to speak to you like Im normal, just a human with a different job. So, yeah, I think Im well deserving of it.
Do you think that people in the WWE, and even fans to some extent, watch you a little closer because of the issues in the past and do you think that is fair?
Of course it is. They all have their right to doubt me. That motivates me even more to stay on the straight and narrow. Yeah, of course youre going to have those kind of people and I think thats totally fine.
Were going to watch Smackdown tonight and you have a match with Triple H. Last week you had a great match with The Undertaker. Why do you think youve had such good chemistry with both of them in particular over the years?
Mainly because I would say those two guys theyre legendary veterans. Some people have called Matt and I veterans at this point in our career. We are older now a lot of new faces in the WWE saying these guys have been around when it comes to being professional and knowing what youre doing and whats best for the company and whats best for yourself. These guys are masters of that. With me, Im just a great listener when it comes to professional wrestling. Matt is more like a coach to where Im more like a student. But Im good at listening and Im good at what I do and when it comes to a scenario of me having to listen to somebody to make something good or even throw ideas in there to make it even better, you know, Im real good at that because I always think outside the box. But I just need somebody to put in the right state of mind and the right frame. Once that chemistry is there, its going to be good.
Let me wrap up with a little talk about WrestleMania. Tickets for WrestleMania 25 are now on sale with the show taking place on April 5 in Houston, Texas. The last time the show was in Houston was at WrestleMania 17 and you have a TLC (tables, ladder and chairs) match. What do you remember about that match?
Yes I do remember that. It seems that, I could be wrong, it seems that was the match where I got speared off the rings from Edge. I want to say that was the match because all of the TLC matches are such favorites of mine. Yeah, I remember a big crowd and its going to be cool to return there years later.
Where do you see yourself this time when WrestleMania comes around?
Well, with this new edge I have, Im not sure man. I think the skys the limit and anything can possibly happen with my character. I definitely see myself in a good spot. If not in Money in the Bank something even bigger. Its hard not to vision myself not in a ladder match if theres going to be a ladder match. I dont know man, well see. Things change so much. Smackdown, in my opinion, has been so exciting. As of late, its been such a good show. Who knows what Jeff Hardy may do next.
Wrestlemania, Ladders, and the Swanton Bomb March 27, 2007 - Jeff Hardy, ladders, Wrestlemania. This recipe has given WWE fans some of the most breathtaking moments in sports entertainment history. Only thing is, Hardy says you haven't seen anything yet.
"Luckily for me, I'm being showcased in my comfort zone, and with ladders at my side, I have a good chance of getting that briefcase," Hardy told me over the phone as he prepares for his Money in the Bank Ladder match in Detroit. "I've talked to Matt a few times, and we'd love to knock everybody out and have the match come down to the two of us. We'd look each other in the eyes and respectfully beat the hell out of each other. May the better brother win."
He's watched the tapes of Shelton Benjamin, RVD, and the rest of the Money in the Bank crew, and his goal this Sunday for Wrestlemania is to top them all.
"Last year I was watching Mania from home, and Matt was in the match, and when Shelton did the springboard and landed on the ladder so many impressive things that guy did, but one of the first things, one of the first goals I set is to try to top that. I know some of the moves Shelton did are going to be hard to top, especially when he ran up the ladder, but I have a few things up my sleeve that I'm going to try and pull off."

IGN Sports: Who were the wrestlers who influenced you as a kid?
Jeff Hardy: Early, when I first started wrestling, I wanted to be a combination of Sting and the Ultimate Warrior. The Ultimate Warrior's craziness and weird personality and Sting's coolness and the way he carried himself to the ring. But then later on, when it came to physicality and athleticism, Shawn Michaels topped the cake. Just watching that guy and seeing the types of matches he's had at Mania and throughout his career, pound-for-pound he's the best wrestler in the world. He has always been a great influence in Matt's and my career. He has a knack for stealing the show.
IGN Sports: Shawn is one of the big matches at Mania, but the one with the most buzz right now has to be the hair vs. hair match. Would you ever put your hair on the line in a match?
Jeff Hardy: Yeah, I probably would I guess I would depending on who it was with and what story surrounded it. If the situation was right, and the money too [laughs] I might take part in it. I really hate my hair when it's not braided because it's so big when it dries. When it's wet it looks cool, but when it dries it gets all in my mouth during a match and I hate it. I wouldn't mind shaving it off. But then I love it when it's braided. It looks cool and it's long and it doesn't get in my mouth. So if the writing is right, I'd be a part of it.
IGN Sports: You seem like the kind of guy who is always looking for something bigger to jump off of. Are you still looking for that big jump or are you starting to slow down?
Jeff Hardy: I think I've slowed down quite a bit. I don't try or attempt even half of the stuff I used to want to try way back in the day when I was a lot younger. It takes a toll on the body throughout the years, but still, The Swanton is something I feel extremely confident and safe in doing. I would still like to do an extremely high one one of these days. It would be great to do at Mania, but I don't think this year because it's not the right type of match, but when I was wrestling in this other organization, I did one that was crazy, it was 34 feet high where I jumped from and I nearly had a heart attack before I did it. I would really love to do something like that in WWE because it would last through time a lot more and a lot more people would see it. When the time is right, I plan on doing an extremely high Swanton Bomb. I always wanted to bring out a hydraulic lift somehow, ride it to the ring like in a Stone Cold type scenario, back it up then jump off of it and go through some tables.
IGN Sports: I couldn't believe you did the Swanton on top of the ladder in your match against Nitro?
Jeff Hardy: Yeah, that was pretty cool but it was also pretty stupid. Wow, I felt it, that's for sure. IGN Sports: You guys are on the road so much and putting your body on the line with every match, how difficult is it for someone to commit their lives to being a professional wrestler?
Jeff Hardy: It's tough. The biggest change is that time just goes by so fast when you're on the road. It seems like it's only been a month or so since I've been back and it's already been more than half a year. I can't complain, though. I'm in a great spot right now and it's up to me to take advantage of it while I can.
IGN Sports: Why did you feel the need to walk away from the sport a couple of years ago?
Jeff Hardy: I was big-time burned out. I needed that year to get away from it for a while and more than anything, that's what straightened my ass up for sure. Just to get away from it for a while and breath a little bit, take it easy. I was able to complete a motocross track at my house, and that's something I've always enjoyed. That time away is really what developed the passion I needed to come back and compete. The fans too, having such a huge fan base, it's hard to see that and be motivated when you have so many people who support you and want to see you perform.
IGN Sports: What's more dangerous, wrestling or riding motocross?
Jeff Hardy: They go hand in hand. Motocross might be more dangerous because it's hard to tame the machine sometimes. Wrestling, you're dealing with yourself and your own body, but when you're trying to tame the machine, that sh*t can be kind of hard sometimes. Those things are strong. It's also so cool to be able to develop the talent to be able to jump and control the motorcycle which is a very fun thing to do but it's hard to manage the two. It's so easy to get hurt, and that's the last thing I want to do. I would be screwed if I got hurt on my motorcycle and couldn't wrestle.
IGN Sports: You're having matches right now both as a singles competitor and as a tag team with your brother. Which do you prefer? Jeff Hardy: I'm all for tagging. I love tag team wrestling and I would choose that over singles any day. It's also cool that we can tag if we need to or we can be successful in the singles ranks, and that's one thing that makes the Hardy Boyz stand alone in their success is that we can go our separate ways and still be successful, but I love tagging with Matt, and I think I prefer tagging over singles wrestling.

Matt en Jeff Hardy droomden er al jong van om worstelaars te worden. Ze keken vaak naar worstelen en tegen de tijd dat Jeff 16 was, was hij al op WWF televisie geweest als een jobber. Jeff begon, samen met Matt en vrienden hun eigen federatie, de TWF (Trampoline Wrestling Federation) en deed moves na die hij op TV had gezien. Later kreeg de federatie verschillende andere namen, tot het uiteindelijk werd geïntegreerd in een kermis in North Carolina. Jeff, Matt en hun vrienden gingen werken voor andere onafhankelijke bedrijven. Ze reden de hele Oostkust van de Verenigde Staten af en werkten voor bedrijven zoals de ACW en andere kleine promoties. The Hardyz werden uiteindelijk opgemerkt door de World Wrestling Federation en nadat ze een contract hadden getekend werden ze getraind door de voormalige worstelaar Dory Funk Jr. in zijn Funkin' Dojo met andere opmerkelijke worstelaars zoals Kurt Angle, Christian, Test en A-Train. Voordat ze aankwamen in de WWE vormde Matt zijn eigen worstel promotie OMEGA (Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts) met Thomas Simpson. De promotie was een meer succesvolle versie van de oorspronkelijke TWF en had onder andere talenten als Matt, Jeff, Shannon Moore, Gregory Helms, Lita, Joey Matthews, Caprice Coleman en vele anderen. In OMEGA hadden Matt en Jeff elk verschillende karakters. Jeff beeldde onder andere de karakters Willow the Wisp, Iceman, Mean Jimmy Jack Tomkins, Wolverine en The Masked Mountain uit.
[bewerken]World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment
In 1998 tekenden Jeff en zijn broer Matt WWF contracten. Toen ze uiteindelijk op WWF televisie gebracht werden vormden ze voor meerdere jaren het acrobatische tag team dat de Hardy Boyz heette.
Jeff staat bekend om zijn risicovolle luchtmanoeuvres, specifiek in TLC matches in het jaar 2000 en 2001 (als the Hardy Boyz) en in 2004 (Jeff Hardy en Rob Van Dam) en maakte naam voor zichzelf als een van de meest roekeloze en onorthodoxe WWF werkers van zijn tijd. Het team van Matt en Jeff won het WWF World Tag Team Championship zeven keer, waardoor ze bekend kwamen te staan als een van de meest succesvolle tag teams in de WWE geschiedenis. In 2000 vonden Matt en Jeff een nieuwe manager in hun real-life vriendin Lita. Samen stonden de drie bekend als "Team Xtreme". In 2001 hield Jeff tegelijkertijd het WWF Intercontinental Championship en het WWF Light Heavyweight Championship.
In 2002 begonnen The Hardy Boyz een feud met Brock Lesnar nadat Lesnar Matt een F-5 had gegeven tegen de stalen toegang, wat er toe leidde dat een boze Jeff wraak wilde nemen op Lesnar. Tijdens Backlash 2002 vocht Jeff tegen Lesnar in zijn eerste uitgezonden match. Lesnar domineerde Hardy en won de match door TKO. Lesnar en de Hardys gingen verder met hun feud in de maanden erna, waarbij Lesnar iedere keer won.
Na jaren in de tag team divisie nam Jeff de kans en vocht tegen The Undertaker in een Ladder Match voor het Undisputed Championship. Jeff wist niet te winnen maar kreeg wel het respect van the Undertaker. Jeff streed meerdere keren voor singles titels, maar was onsuccesvol. Uiteindelijk braken de Hardy Boyz met elkaar en ging Jeff door met zijn singles ambities en ging zijn broer Matt naar SmackDown! en ging Jeff door op RAW. Hierna leek het alsof hij een heel turn zou krijgen nadat hij verschillende superstars aanviel.
Hierna was Jeff nog in een aantal andere angles. Hij vormde een team met Shawn Michaels en toen met Trish Stratus nadat hij haar redde van Steven Richards en Victoria. In zijn laatste match voordat hij ontslagen werd, versloeg Jeff The Rock. Jeff werd ontslagen van de WWE op 22 april2003. De reden voor het ontslag was Jeff zijn slechte gedrag, zijn aftakelende performance in de ring, toenemend drugsgebruik en zijn weigering om naar een afkickkliniek te gaan en het feit dat hij constant te laat kwam of helemaal niet op kwam dagen voor shows.
Hardy vormde een team met A.J. Styles en Ron Killings in het midden van 2004. In oktober 2004 won hij een toernooi en verdiende een kans op het NWA World Heavyweight Championship op 7 november 2004 tijdens TNA Victory Road 2004. Hardy werd opnieuw verslagen door Jarrett in een Ladder Match tijdens Victory Road na inmenging van Kevin Nash en Scott Hall. Een maand later op 5 december 2004 tijdens TNA Turning Point 2004, versloegen Hardy, Styles en Randy Savage Jarrett, Hall en Nash (collectief bekend als de Kings of Wrestling). Hardy versloeg Hall in een single match tijdens TNA Final Resolution 2005 op 16 januari2005.
Tijdens TNA Against All Odds op 13 februari 2005 verloor Hardy tegen Abyss in een "Full Metal Mayhem" match voor het number one contendership tijdens het NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Toch versloeg hij Abyss in een Falls count anywhere match tijdens TNA Destination X 2005 op 13 maart 2005. Hardy raakte toen betrokken in een feud met Raven, waarbij Hardy Raven versloeg in een steel cage match tijdens TNA Lockdown 2005 op 24 april, 2005. Hardy werd daarna op non-actief gesteld door TNA omdat hij niet kwam opdagen bij zijn "Clockwork Orange House of Fun" rematch met Raven tijdens TNA Hard Justice 2005 op 15 mei 2005, volgens hem door problemen met zijn reis.
Hardy's schorsing werd opgeheven op 5 augustus 2005 toen Hardy terugkeerde naar TNA tijdens TNA Sacrifice 2005 op 14 augustus 2005, waarbij hij Jeff Jarrett aanviel. Hij worstelde zijn eerste TNA match in vier maanden tijdens TNA Unbreakable 2005 op 11 september, 2005, waarbij hij verloor tegen Bobby Roode volgend op bemoeienis van Jarrett.
Tijdens oktober 2005 was Hardy betrokken in een feud met Abyss, Rhino en Sabu. De vier mans feud eindigde in een Monster's Ball match tijdens TNA Bound For Glory 2005 op 23 oktober 2005, die werd gewonnen door Rhino. In de loop van de match voerde Jeff een Swanton Bomb uit op Abyss vanaf meer dan 5 meter hoogte. Later die avond nam Hardy deel in een tien-mans battle royal voor het number-one contendership voor het NWA World Heavyweight Championship, die ook werd gewonnen door Rhino. Tijdens TNA Genesis 2005 op 13 november 2005, verloor Hardy tegen "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown in een nieuwe number-one contender match.
Hardy stond opgesteld om te worstelen in de pre-show van TNA Turning Point 2005 op 11 december 2005, maar kwam opnieuw niet opdagen, opnieuw volgens reis problemen. Hardy werd geschorst als een resultaat hiervan en verscheen niet opnieuw op TNA. In maart, april en mei 2006 verscheen Hardy op verschillende house shows die door TNA georganiseerd werden in samenwerking met Dave Hebner en de United Wrestling Federation.
Op 4 augustus2006 maakte de WWE bekend dat Hardy opnieuw had getekend bij het bedrijf. In de weken die daar op volgden werden filmpjes van Jeff Hardy laten zien om zijn terugkeer te promoten. Bij zijn terugkeer versloeg hij de WWE ChampionEdge door diskwalificatie. Nadat hij een aantal maal faalde in zijn pogingen om het Intercontinental Championship af te pakken van Johnny Nitro waaronder tijdens Unforgiven 2006 versloeg Jeff Hardy Nitro eindelijk in een aflevering van RAW op 2 oktober. Op de aflevering van RAW op 6 november verloor hij de titel weer aan Nitro, nadat Nitro hem had geslagen met de titel riem. Hardy won hem terug op 13 november tijdens RAW. Hierdoor werd hij voor de derde keer Intercontinental Champion.
Hardy heeft een grote variatie aan interesses buiten worstelen. Op een bepaald moment heeft Hardy een 7 meter hoog beeld van een "aluminummy" gemaakt van zilverfolie, boven zijn opname studio (een gespoten caravan). Op een ander moment heeft hij een kunstmatige vulkaan gemaakt in zijn voortuin, waar hij oversprong met zijn motorcross bike. Hij is ook een kunstenaar en een dichter.
In 2003 vormde Hardy een band Peroxwhy?gen, samen met worstelaar Shannon Moore en leden van de band Burnside 6. De band heeft twee nummers opgenomen. Een was September Day, een liedje dat Jeff heeft geschreven als reactie op 11 september. Geruchten gaan dat Peroxwhy?gen uit elkaar was gegaan in 2004 kort na het opnemen van de song "Modest", die Hardy later gebruikte als zijn entrance muziek in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Toch werd er op de officiële Peroxwhygen MySpace op 27 april 2006 het volgende bericht gepost in de blog. "Yes we are still together and writing songs. No we are not broken up. JR from the band runs this site." Ondanks dit bericht heeft een beheerder van de "The Matt Hardy Show" website gezegd dat Jeff momenteel aan het werk is aan zijn solo carrière als muziek act en Peroxwhy?gen heeft verlaten.
In mei 2005 vergezelde Jeff zijn broer Matt in een zij project bekend als TheHardyShow.com. Shannon Moore werkt ook mee en thehardyshow.com is een creatieve uitlaat gebruikt door Jeff, Matt en Shannon om hun leven buiten de ring te laten zien. Jeff Hardy's favoriete karakter om te laten zien staat bekend als Itchweeed, een landschapmakende legende van de buitenste regionen van tijd en ruimte, en maakt soms verschijningen in de show.
Hardy verscheen op 7 februari1999 in een aflevering van That '70s Show, getiteld "That Wrestling Show", samen met zijn broer Matt. Hij verscheen als zichzelf in de aflevering van Fear Factor op 25 februari2002 samen met 5 andere WWE kampioenen en werd geëlimineerd in de eerste ronde.

EXCERPTS FROM 'THE HARDY BOYS: EXIST 2 INSPIRE'
Excerpts from 'The Hardy Boys: Exist 2 Inspire'
pg5: "I know people think we're fearless, that we're crazy daredevils, but I still have fear in me. It's about getting past the fear and actually doing whatever it is you're afraid of."
pg120: "Ilove it when people write to me and say, "you have inspired me. Your words have motivated me. I feel like a better person because of your influence." That makes me very proud and happy."
pg130: "I am who I am. I can't help it if other people aren't as comfortable in their own skin."
pg131: "It's crazy to me how people judge you for the way you're dressed or the color of your hair. It's sad that people will judge you on the basis of your appearance."
pg248: "I'm always trying to be different. I always want to be original."
Be your own role model. Set a good example for others. ALWAYS be yourself. The only person who has the right to tell you who to be is YOU. Don't be confrontational, but stand up for yourself and what you feel is right. Always remember that you have room to improve yourself. Seek out these opportunities. Take advantage of them. Remember that you are the only you. You cannot be compared to anyone else. You are a unique and beautiful person.

Bien que n'étant pas le plus grand de la WWE du haut de son métre quatre-vingt-dix-huit, il attire l'oeil et captive de regard de par son aspect physique tout droit sorti d'un comic-book.

La carrière de Kurt Angle n'impose qu'un mot: respect. Lorsque l'on voit tout ce qu'il a pu accomplir par le passé et qu'on s'attarde sur son niveau technique, on ne peut pas éprouver autre chose. Par contre, si l'on s'attarde un peu sur la psychologie du personnage et les risques qu'il prend malgré ses nombreuses blessures, alors c'est un autre mot qui nous vient à l'esprit: folie.

Après des débuts majoritairement en équipe (avec Christian) et des matchs d'anthologie contre les Hardy Boys, Edge s'est lancé en solo. Et c'est alors une carrière fulgurante et une montée en puissance totalement maîtrisée qui s'est produite. Aujourd'hui, Edge est devenu l'un des heels les plus détestés de la WWE et l'une des superstars les plus "vendeuses".
NOM: John Cena SURNOM: The Champ TAILLE: 1,85m POIDS: 110kg DATE DE NAISSANCE: 23/04/1977 VILLE NATALE: West Newbury, Massachusetts, USA DEBUT DE CARRIERE: 2000
John Cena, l'homme qui valait trois milliards. C'est un peu comme cela que l'on pourrait le qualifier, tant is semble au-delà des limites humaines. Musculature impressionnante, hyper développée mais homogéne, délai de guérison bien supérieur à la normale et don de showman inné, Cena est un peu le Hulk Hogan du vingtiéme siécle. Hogan ou Superman, au choix...
Don't let people's thoughts or feelings about you restrict you. You are your OWN worst critic and your ONLY obstacle. Put your heart into all that you attempt and you will succeed. The only way to fail is to believe that trying is futile. Don't be limited by your fear.
"FEAR IS ONLY A FOUR LETTER WORD."
Take risks. Live your life. Don't be afraid to try something new or dangerous. Control your fear. Overcome it. Use it to fuel you. Be "IMMUNE TO FEAR."
Don't dwell on the past. It's come and gone and there's nothing that can be done to change it. Don't worry about the future, because there's a good chance that it's never going to come. Focus on living the moment, and making the most out of the here and now. Live every day, every moment, like it's your last. Hold no grudges and don't stay angry. Don't burn any bridges, because hurting relationships with people will only hurt you in the long run. Make as many friends as you can. Be as polite and respectful to others as you wish to receive in turn. Do not act superior to anyone. You are equal to everyone. Rememeber that.
Be the bigger person. Learn to listen to both sides of the story. Forgive. Grow up an dmove on.
Be thankful for everything you have, be it your family, school, education, job, partner, anything, because there are people out there that don't have any of the things that you take for granted. Remember how lucky you are.
Jeff Hardy de hoogtes en laagtes van The Extreme Enigma
Nog geen 31, en al meer dan 15 jaar zit Jeff in het professioneel worstelen. Een paar weken voordat zijn contract met de WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) ten einde loopt lijkt het al alsof Jeff al alles heeft overwonnen. Dus zal hij zijn contract nog verlengen of niet? Dat is DE grote vraag. Deze grote held van al een hele generatie lang gaat op dit moment door moeilijke tijden.
