Baltimore Sun's Kevin Eck interviewed Jeff Hardy days before the No Mercy PPV and MyNetwork switch.. here are the questions thrown at Hardy:

To say you had a difficult week last March would be a huge understatement. Now that six months or so have passed, can you talk about what it was like to go through the suspension and your house burning down in the same week?

Well, first of all, I have titled that the saddest day of my adult life — by far. The night I lost the Intercontinental title I had been suspended, which is to everybody’s knowledge now because I have been very open about that, and then that Friday night I lost everything, and the saddest thing is I lost my dog Jack. You hear about fires all the time, but then you experience it, man, it’s just like, “Wow, this really happens to people.” It’s a night I’ll never forget, naturally. A week or so later I found Jack’s body in the ruins. I got a little closure to that and cried a lot, was sad a lot and had bad dreams. When I came back we actually made that somewhat of a story line, but I was confident enough in myself and with Beth and everything that we got past that. You know, you can’t just die with everything you lost. You have to live for what you lost. So that’s what I’m doing now and everything’s much better. Our new house is under construction. It’s looking great, and hopefully by spring we’ll be in there. Thank God I had Matt, because if I didn’t I’d be renting an apartment somewhere. Matt’s been very cool to have open arms and invite us into his home.

How much did the support of your fans help you get through it all?

Actually it’d blow your mind, man, to see what’s still in Matt’s basement to this day. Naturally, people wanted to send clothing, memorabilia, stuff like that. Once Matt put that address out on his myspace, it was just a flood — every day we had to go to the post office. Beth was the one to go through all that. It was just amazing how much response we got — how many actions figures, how many clothes. It might not have been my certain style, but just the care that was there and the meaning behind it. It’s amazing the support I had from the fans. Even today, man, seeing such a foundation right in front of me of all these humans that are behind me, it’s just very motivational.

How difficult was it for you not to be at WrestleMania, because you were supposed to be an integral part of it. Did you even watch it?

It’s so strange, you know, because I was going to be a huge part of that in the Money in the Bank match, and Matt was hurt at the time and he was able to return at Mania, so, naturally, I watched it. I would have watched it anyway because I’m a huge ladder match fan and just to see how good the match would be. In a sense I was kind of sickened by the whole thing. But I did something wrong according to the Wellness Policy and I had to pay the price. So here I am on my last strike right now, and one more and I’m out, so I’m just trying to keep it all good. As far as WrestleMania goes, as angry or sad as I was that I missed it, I also was supposed to take part in an art show down there. I think Jerry Lawler was in it as well. I missed out on that just over what to me was a small mistake, but to them it’s huge.

Can you talk about the recent incident at the Nashville airport, when you were denied boarding a flight?

Oh, of course. That was extremely blown out of proportion. So many wrestlers drink at times, and I had been drinking a lot that night. I’m not going to lie — I’ve been on planes a lot drunker than that. There was nothing rude done; I wasn’t violent or anything like that. I guess I was stumbling boarding the plane or something, and somebody must have just said that I was drunk, because I was asleep on the plane. This is Southwest, you know, open seating and everything. The first thing I remember is just waking up and security — it wasn’t police, it was security — saying, “Mr. Hardy, you have to get off the plane. We feel you’ve had too much to drink.” Matt got up and was like, “What’s the problem?” They were like, “He’s had too much to drink.” I go, “I was asleep. I’ll wake up in Raleigh. I’ve been like this before.” But I just cooperated and left the plane.

Do you think the company lost any confidence in you over the incident?

No. Right away, once I got home I called who I needed to call and just told them what happened. It does make me sick when — especially with me — anything negative, the Internet wants to highlight right away. One [site] actually said that Beth was with me and she was the one that was too drunk and she was handcuffed. I was never handcuffed. There were these crazy things like, “He got caught with contraband.” It was nothing like that.

Your brother Matt is enjoying the best run of his career. Is there a friendly rivalry or competition between the two of you?

I think with him more than me. Whether I ever become WWE champion in my career, I’m proud of what I’ve done. If this weekend was my last match, I would be extremely proud after looking back and seeing everything. Matt is more the competitive type. I think he probably feels a little supreme that he became a heavyweight champion before I did. It’s in ECW, but I’m sure he feels a little like he’s ahead of the game when it comes to brotherly competition, but I’m nowhere near as competitive as he is. I’m just very proud of him, and maybe I can do the same. We’ll see.

You’re known for doing incredible high-risk maneuvers. I’m curious as to how the process works. Do you present an idea for a big move, such as the Swanton off the scaffold with Randy Orton, to creative, or do they come to you and ask if you would feel comfortable doing something?

Most of the time they’ll come to me with the idea — even that [Swanton] was suggested. There’s been things that have been suggested that I’ve turned down — I’m like, “I don’t feel confident doing that.” Any time it’s a Swanton, I’m confident. But if I feel I can’t do it, I won’t do it. The one to Randy Orton was pretty crazy, man, because that was extremely high. And even the one off the truck to Umaga was creepy, too. Anybody that would go out there and check out the setup themselves would say, “Wow, it takes a lot of nerve to do this.”

You said that you have turned down things that have been suggested to you. Have you ever come up with something and Vince McMahon or someone said, “No, that’s too dangerous”?

One thing that stands out is when Brock Lesnar was still with us, I had this idea of somehow Paul Heyman would be laid out near the middle of the ring, but Brock would be underneath the turnbuckle I was jumping off of . And I’d go to Swanton Paul Heyman, and Brock Lesnar spears me in the air while I’m upside down. They said no. I was like, “My momentum’s going that way anyway. I feel confident in it.” But they were like, “No way.” I needed a couple action figures just to show it to them.

When I interviewed you back in January, you said that you don’t practice high-risk stunts, you just do them in one take. How do you know you can pull them off before you do them?

They put a lot of faith in me. I’m like, “Nah, I’m doing that one time and one time only. If it goes wrong, it goes wrong, but, nevertheless, it’s going to be on TV so it’s got to be good.” But, yeah, they just have faith in me, especially with any kind of Swanton. As many as I’ve done over the years, they have confidence that I can get it done.

Do you feel like Sunday’s match against Triple H at No Mercy is the biggest of your career? And do you feel like you have something to prove?

No, I don’t think I have anything to prove to people. But I know in most people’s eyes they think I have to get the WWE championship to prove that I’m No. 1 or whatever. Naturally it would be nice to become WWE champion, especially for all my fans that have always waited for that, but, yeah, I think it probably is the biggest match of my career. When I wrestled Randy Orton, that was probably the biggest match of my career at that point, because that was when I had the other shot at the WWE championship. Here I am again in another scenario for the WWE championship, and we’ll see.

Do you have a favorite match or favorite moment from your career?

I’d say all those TLC matches, but probably the most memorable one for me — I think it was in Raleigh. It was the first time anybody had ever hung from the rings — that was my idea. I even tried to do it in the first ladder match that we had, because I had that in my mind, but the rings weren’t strong enough to hold a body. But just to pull of something like that that comes from your brain is always spectacular for you because you’re like, “Wow, I thought this up and we brought it to reality.” It was me and Devon [Dudley], and it was just an awesome spot. I’ll never forget the feeling. Everybody just went, “Whoa! What is going on? This is crazy.”

Is there anybody that you haven’t worked with that you would like to?

Yeah, Rey Mysterio. I’ve tagged with him before. During the draft it was kind of a bummer because when he went to Raw I was like, “Yeah, me and Rey are going to get to tear it up.” I had no idea I was going to Smackdown. Then when I got drafted I was like, “Oh well, throw that out the door.”

Another question I asked you in January was whether you had any interest in having a feud with Matt. You said that you did and you’d like to wrestle him at WrestleMania XXV. Is there any chance of that happening then or some other time in the future?

Yeah, for sure. Matt and I both are big fans of Bret Hart-Owen Hart feud matches. I remember us being brothers and watching brothers wrestle on pay-per-view and were like, “How cool would that be?” Matt and I wrestled each other all the time back in the OMEGA days, so how cool would that be for us to be wrestling each other [in WWE]? I’m sure a lot of people would like to see that, too. I know people always say, “Nobody wants to see The Hardy Boyz fight,” but if it was done right, it could be phenomenal.

Any final thoughts before we wrap up?
Just watch MyNetwork TV tomorrow night (laughs).

Yes, that’s why we’re here, right?
Yeah, it’s like a recorder that’s broken in my head because I’ve said it so many times.

OK, I’ll set you up with a question. Do you feel like going to another network is a fresh start for Smackdown?

Yeah, it’s kind of exciting. I remember back in the day when Raw switched channels; it’s always exciting to try something new. Even now on Smackdown I’m more comfortable than I was at first. It has become my place to do my thing. So, yeah, if I switch brands, why not switch channels?

The high-flying risk taker, Jeff Hardy, not only has his own signature moves but a signature look. Fans may not be able to replicate the moves, but now thanks to WWE Shop you can replicate the look. Introducing the Jeff Hardy Armbands. Lycra. 15" L x 5" D.

Set of 2-One right and one left.

Last September 18, a report from Tennessean.com states that Jeff Hardy was not granted access to a flight heading to North Carolina on Wednesday due to the fact that Southwest employees stated he appeared to be intoxicated at Nashville International Airport's Southwest gate. Hardy was told he couldn't board the flight, but was not arrested and offered a later flight. Southwest spokesman Chris Mainz added, "He was very cooperative and there was no altercation. There was no need to get police."

Lots of conflicting reports made rounds earlier that day regarding the Jeff Hardy incident in Nashville at the Nashville International Airport. A report broke late Wednesday night that Hardy had been involved in some kind of an incident, but that details were sketchy at the time.

PWInsider reported that eyewitnesses claim Hardy was removed from a plane shortly before 11:00 a.m. Wednesday morning on a flight heading to North Carolina. Hardy, who was traveling with his brother Matt and Gregory Helms, was taken off his flight and flanked by several police officers. This same eyewitness, who didn't want to be identifed, claimed Hardy wasn't in a handcuffs, but was being escorted. Hardy was spotted being able to use his phone before he was escorted away.

The Sun in the UK reports that a WWE spokesperson noted that the company was informed of an alleged incident involving Hardy and are currently investigating the situation, adding they would take appropriate actions if needed. Phone call attempts to security officials at the Nashville airport were not returned, while those close to Hardy have stayed quiet about it. Scott Benningfield sent us a link to a blog by Matt Hardy recently where he makes no mention of this taking place noting he had a good evening with Jeff and friends after they arrived home from Nashville at this link.

Now PWInsider reports that WWE is officially considering the Jeff Hardy/Nashville airport situation on Wednesday a non-issue and will not be taking any kind of action. There was talk within WWE that this is again another reminder that they can only push Jeff so far so that it won't blow up in their faces when issues always tend to arise.

A Scrambling twist
WWE Champion Triple H defeated The Great Khali in a non-title Lumberjack Match with all of his WWE Championship Scramble opponents surrounding the ring. But, when the smoke cleared at the end of the night, it was Jeff Hardy who stood tall. After helping to even the odds as his fellow lumberjacks ganged up on The Game, the Legend Thriller suddenly delivered a surprise Twist of Fate to the champion, leaving no doubt that he is determined to take the gold away from him.

Jeff Hardy vs. MVP

This is a Summerslam rematch. The bell rings and they stare at each other as MVP talks trash. This is going to be great. MVP is mouthing off and pushes Jeff.

:::Commercial Break:::

We come back from the break to see that Hardy has MVP in a standing arm bar. MVP is trying to fight out of it but he can’t get out! They show a replay of the senton from before the commercial break. MVP just hasn’t been able to really get a series of moves in this match up.

Hardy goes to whip MVP into the corner but MVP reverses and whips Hardy. Hardy climbs the ropes for Whisper in the Wind but MVP runs up and chops the leg and Hardy falls back and LANDS ON HIS HEAD!! WOW!! Charles Robinson is down by Hardy in like one one-hundredth of a second to check on Hardy. MVP covers and the referee goes outside to count the pin (technically that wouldn’t count as a pinfall count) and Hardy miraculously kicks out at TWO AND NINE TENTHS!!

If that last bump with Hardy landing on his head wasn’t so impressive than this would have been Bump of the Night! Hardy turns MVP for a cover and gets two and a half!

MVP is crawling and puts his head through the ropes so Hardy goes to the outside and forearms him in the face and gets right back in.

Days after an electrifying match with Montel Vontavious Porter at SummerSlam, Jeff Hardy made a dream come true for Make-A-Wish’s Brad Wendt, of South Elgin, Ill., in the Circle of Champions suite at the i wireless Center.

“I thought Jeff Hardy lost to MVP at SummerSlam because of Shelton Benjamin. What [Shelton] did wasn’t cool at all,” Brad said moments before meeting his favorite Superstar. “I like Jeff because of his crazy wrestling style. He’ll do just about anything in the ring. His Swanton Bomb is freaky!”

For Brad, 12, his admiration for Jeff Hardy came when he attended his first WWE event at 4 years old. The moment he had been waiting for ever since that day finally occurred when the Legend Thriller, wearing a Superman T-shirt, blue designer jeans, and newly styled blue and green locks, strutted into the luxury suite.

The four-time Intercontinental Champion posed for pictures with Brad and his family and autographed photos, Brad’s Circle of Champions honoree T-shirt, and his certificate. Jeff also presented the “True Champ” with The Hardys’ double dog tags, Hardy Mirrors T-shirt and Jeff’s brand new signature Self-Portrait T-shirt, which he designed and had WWE fans choose as his latest tee. The SmackDown Superstar answered Brad’s questions about his many tattoos and his life as a WWE Superstar.

The enigmatic Superstar walked out of the VIP suite amazed by his latest Circle of Champions experience.

“Brad was cool, man. I think he’s on my side of the field. He’s a unique individual and he felt me on that. He’s original and I had a great time,” explained Hardy. “It’s always cool to be chosen to do this because it makes you feel special anytime you can inspire a person and put a smile on their face. It’s a huge payoff for what we do. Living the dream is helping others fulfill their dreams. It’s always magical.”

And for Brad, after seeing his dream to fruition, he continued to smile.

“It was such a wonderful experience. I thought I was going to choke up at first, but I held it together. I’ve been looking forward to this moment ever since my uncle Jeff informed me about Make-A-Wish Foundation … It was really fun and really so cool to finally meet him,” recalled Brad, with an ear-to-ear grin.

For WWE Champion Triple H, United States Champion Shelton Benjamin, Jeff Hardy, Montel Vontavious Porter and The Brian Kendrick, every second will count at Unforgiven. The five Superstars will make history by participating in the first-ever WWE Championship Scramble Match, where for 20 minutes, it’s anyone’s game.

On SmackDown, General Manager Vickie Guerrero, taking note of Raw GM Mike Adamle’s decree for the World Heavyweight Championship, announced a series of qualifying matches to determine the four Superstars who would join WWE Champion Triple H in the ring for the unprecedented title contest at Unforgiven.

WWE Championship Scramble Qualifying Match
The Great Khali w/ Ranjin Singh vs. Jeff Hardy

The bell rings and this match is set to start. Hardy and Khali have a stand off and the height difference is amazing and I’m not talking about Hardy’s. Khali pushes him away with one hand and Hardy bounces back with some forearms to the chest. Khali pushes him off again and Hardy looks at him. Hardy now bounces off the ropes, goes to the right and bounces off those ropes and goes to the right again and bounces off those ropes and goes through the confused Khali’s legs and when Khali turns he’s met with a slap so hard you see the sweat fly off and Hardy quickly exits the ring!

Hardy gets back in the ring and is in the corner. Khali goes for him and Hardy goes under his arm and starts kicking the back of his leg. Hardy comes off the ropes and into a HUGE Khali clothesline. Khali picks Hardy up by the head and quickly sends him back down to the canvas with a head-butt. Hardy goes to the corner and Khali stomps him a few times before the referee backs him up. Khali goes back and does the same thing and stops at the referee’s three count. Khali now stands on the throat of Jeff Hardy, surprisingly not killing him.

Khali picks Hardy up and pulls him in by the arm for a short arm clothesline. Triple H is offering some advice to Jeff Hardy from commentary, which Jeff Hardy can’t hear. What a great help!

Khali now locks in the most boring hold in professional wrestling – the nerve hold. Luckily it’s not in for long as Hardy fights out of it but Khali clubs Hardy down, stopping his momentum. Khali body slams Hardy and gets in his finisher – raising his arms defiantly in the air. Oh yeah, domination. The crowd is not happy about this.

Khali is now signaling for the Khali Vice Grip but fooled me as he went for the Khali Bomb but Hardy gets out of it by raking the eyes and going up to the second rope. Hardy signals for something and Khali runs and chops him off the top rope and to the outside!

Khali grabs Hardy by the hair from the outside and pulls him back to the ring apron. Hardy grabs Khali’s head and jumps off the apron, bringing Khali’s throat down on the top rope, stunning the behemoth. Hardy gets Khali in position for the Twist of Fate and hits it and Khali takes the worst Twist of Fate ever! Hardy is going to the top rope now and Ranjin Singh gets on the apron to cause the distraction and Khali grabs Hardy by the head in the Khali Vice Grip and pulls him off the top rope!

Triple H is off commentary now and pulls Singh off the apron and levels him with a right hand! Triple H grabs a chair and pretends he’s going to hit Singh. Khali sees this and breaks the Vice Grip and the referee is checking on Hardy as Triple H nails Khali in the head with the chair! Hardy immediately runs up to the top and delivers Whisper in the Wind, knocking Khali down!! Hardy is up to the top rope and delivers a Swanton Bomb for the win!!!

Winner by Pinfall: Jeff Hardy
