- According to local newspaper, The Valley Herald, former WWE star Jeff Hardy will be wrestling this Friday for Kirk White's Big Time Wrestling promotion in Newark, California. The event will be held at the Newark Pavilion, located at 6430 Thornton Avenue.
Hardy's appearance will be a thank you to local fan Luna Nyx and her late friend Alice Cooper, who several years ago presented The Hardy Boyz with a Valentine's Day gift: an ornate candy sculpture in the form of a severed human heart. Cooper passed away due to breast cancer shortly after meeting the Hardy's. According to the article, Nyx has become close friends with Jeff and his girlfriend Beth.
Hardy will face local wrestler Wild Storm at the event. Tickets are available by calling (510)668-1211.
Since being released from the WWE, Hardy has only made two appearances on the independent circut. One as "Willow the Wisp" for a local promotion in North Carolina and the other for Ring of Honor's Death Before Dishonor in New Jersey on July 19th, where he was booed out of the building.

I never heard about that one, can anyone provide some more details perhaps?

This isn't the Alice Cooper your thinking of. The rock star is still alive and kicking it.

Hardy did a RoH show back in July(?), and apparently the oh-so smart and respectful crowd decided to boo him the second he came to the ring. There was, supposedly, a small group of fans that came to see Hardy, but they were clearly the minority. It's just your average "smart" wrestling fans trying to show how cool they are by booing somebody they just paid to see, and could give "their" federation tons of exposure.

Actually, I heard it that he came out and started blowing spots like nobody's business and the fans were upset that they paid to see Jeff come in and fuck up every move he tried, so they chanted "Go Get Well" at him as he left.
Who knows though. I wasn't there.
Wisconsin Badgers: 5-1 (Penn State may not be as bad as they looked against Wisconsin's offense, but man our defense looks like crap.)
Minnesota Vikings: 5-0 (Forget Indy and Tampa, THIS was the comeback game of the week.)

You have no clue what you're talking about. They cheered Paul London like crazy on his final night even though they knew he was leaving. They booed Hardy because he showed up looking like shit, and then proceeded to blow a shitload of spots. They chanted "go get well" at him.

Actually, the crowd booed him before he even entered the ring. As soon as he came out, there was a large amount of abuse hurled at him. It wasn't "I can't believe you blew that move" heat, it was "we don't want you here" heat, and he wasn't even in the ring. It then got progressively worse. Just to let you know.
Mildly amsuing...I guess. This routine got kind of old after the Kramer one (which in fairness was awesome for the aformentioned "...and also Newman" and the polite applause at the end).
