|  #1 Posted on 10.2.03 1113.42 | Okay, so I'm curious... does anyone know what's really going on with Jeff Hardy? There's this rumor and that rumor, but the fact is... something is just... wrong. Any word? I'd hate to see anyone at his age throw away a career already.| Promote this thread! |           | redsoxnation

| #2 Posted on 10.2.03 1119.10 | Without going into the sexual rumor field, here are a few things.
1) Considering the sick bumps he has taken over the past few years, logic dictates that he has to be taking a ton of pain killers.
2) He looks like he is just out there right now to collect a paycheck, and doesn't seem to have much energy or desire.
I've said it for months, the WWF/E needs to put him on a six month leave of absence so that he can get his body healed and see if he can rediscover his desire. If after six months away he still looks like someone who doesn't have the desire any longer, it might be best to part ways before serious injury occurs.

Yep, they probably will until the little pre-teen girls stop screaming when he comes out.

| #5 Posted on 10.2.03 1313.10 | My feeling is that he is simply exhausted. While he loves the business im sure that the life on the road takes quite a toll on him.
If someone gets urinated upon do they get pissed off or pissed on?

The quote I've heard is that Jeff loves the idea of being a wrestler, while Matt loves being a wrestler.
Jeff likes being on TV and doing crazy shit and trying to wow the crowd, but beyond that he doesn't particularly care. Matt, on the other hand, has the desire to improve and loves the business.
Despite those differences, Jeff is more likely to get a push sooner than Matt. Such is life in the WWE.

i like jeff hardy (as a wrestler, not in a sexual way). though i do fear for his life sometimes when i see him out there. if i had been introduced to him now, i probably wouldn't love him all that much, but i loved the hardyz as a tag team, and so i like watching jeff pull out the old spots, and i like hearing the old music. when he's at his best, he's really entertaining, and so while i agree that he should take some time off, i also think he definitely belongs on our tv screens if he's ready to be. | Stephanie

I still don't understand why they squeal for Jeff Hardy when he takes his shirt off - either of my brothers has a better build.

| #10 Posted on 11.2.03 1059.02 | I think Jeff is working a painter gimmick- You know, he comes to the ring covered in paint (even his pants have paint on them!), he has a towel in his back pocket to wipe his hands, he likes ladders (to reach those high spots...)
Makes sense to me. A Crazy painter....

| #11 Posted on 11.2.03 1146.11 | Nah, Jeff is cool. He has personality.. he is CONFLICTED, and that alone makes him worthwhile. I was a little sad in his match against Chris Jericho, however, because he lost the same way that he lost when they fought each other like 4-5 months ago or so.. first successfully doing a swanton, but leaving Chris too close to the ropes, and then trying to do a frankensteiner/hurricurana that turns into Jericho applying the walls of jericho. I was hoping for a wee bit more variety, but I guess their first match was quite a long time ago, so they probably assumed we had forgot.
Maybe Jeff will get in a feud with Christian?

| #12 Posted on 11.2.03 1752.06 | You know what? Until I read your post I HAD forgetten about that ending.
I gotta be honest though, I don't really see anything nearly bad enough to be causing rumor after rumor here with everyone putting him on a death watch. All I see is a guy that doesn't seem to have the same drive he had a couple years ago, but then again I see that in half of RAW's roster.
I also see "Ultimate Warrior's Son" when he comes out with the facepaint now. And another thing, what exactly does "Conflicted" mean, and why should I care if he's conflicted or not? Is it like when they said Austin was paranoid because he... ummm... well, I'm sure he said SOMETHING to make him paranoid. I mean, it's not like J.R. just learned a new English word and figured he'd use the hell out of it thinking that it meant something, is it?

| #15 Posted on 12.2.03 0323.23 | I dunno. I sorta like Jeff as the heel who guys hate and girls love, and I think they should play that up instead of making him into ravefreakecstasyoverdose boy. I don't mind his less-than-stellar build because wrestling needs variety. Everyone can't look like Triple H and crotchrip Orton. I like to see fat guys, skinny guys, normal guild guys and jacked maniacs.

| #16 Posted on 12.2.03 0357.28 | His build would fit him much better if he moved gracefully. There's nothing swan-like about the swanton.
My problem is he looks like a homeless person and moves like he's been drinking Mad Dog with the rest of them. Watching him in the ring kills any suspension of disbelief I may have going. This is a lot worse than when the luchas do it, because the luchas move so gracefully that it's still entrancing, just like Jackie Chan movies. | Peter The Hegemon

In this context, it's safe to say that "conflicted" means nothing more or less than "might stay face, might turn heel, keep watching to find out". |
