It's over. Cut him loose until he can get his shit together. And if it's a worked shoot...fire Russo.
If TNA wants to get anywhere, this isn't the way to do it, with a 2 minute Main Event.

I think it is best to wait til more comes out, but the ending was so abrupt. If he was messed up, it's too dangerous for both him and Hardy to continue.

If these reports are true, all I have to say is.
Jeff you need to get clean, get healthy and leave wrestling (at least for the short term) before you die and/or kill somebody else in the ring.

How the f*** could TNA let him go out there? Seriously? How? How could any company in their right mind, with lawyers, let somebody go out there in such shit condition? I hope Sting putting a stop to it wakes TNA up. TNA, you can't send your talent out there when they're in no shape to be out there.

just a new rumor I heard. Jeff was fine pretty much all show, but when it was time to go he was in bad condition. The no DQ stipulation was added as an effort to get Immortal/Fourtune run-ins within 5 minutes and give booking a chance to come up with something real quick, but once they saw Jeff get out there, they realized they didn't have enough time to come up with something new.

I should say, I say that having not seen the last two PPVs. I just remember similar stories the last two shows and that is why I think that. Then again it wouldn't be the first time they've had guys wrestle who had no business being in the ring that night. What happened last month that makes you think worked shoot? I seem to remember the same story coming out before the last show that he didn't seem in any condition to wrestle and would/should be replaced and then it came out he was "just tired and needed a nap". Just seems like they are leaking stuff to try and write Hardy off using his real life stuff instead of being creative or just admitting it was a dumb idea to put him out there as the top guy with the problems he is facing. All speculation from me though.

I liked worked shoots like this. Keeps things interesting. WWE doesn't have that anymore. Yeah thank god Cena isn't pinning Miz with one move.

That definitely wasnt last month though

I doubt it's a "work shoot". TNA would have to be to stupid to pull that off on PPV. If Sting had to do that then TNA really needs to think twice before having Jeff do anything again until he clean. If it was a matter of lack of rest like a couple months ago. Then that TNA fault again for over booking him.
Which you think they learn something from that the first time if that was the case.

If it is a worked shoot, then they just ripped off a lot of people, how is that good for buisness? And really the guy is likely to get jail time in a few months, why put him in your main event picture at all?

I'm not a fan of demonizing people who are on drugs, and still, everything hasn't come out yet. But, yeah, TNA is at total fault for this, they really need to do something tomorrow at the tapings to regroup, they need someone with a level mind to say, enough is enough.
They had some great matches at the pay per view, for the most part, I enjoyed it. But like, Jeff needs to go, he needs to get help. I don't think it was a worked shoot. I think Sting said, f*** this, and ended it, which sucks for the people who paid for it, but there's things more important then that. It's depressing. The guy needs help, and the people in this company need to smarten up.

TNA, this is why you don't deserve to succeed. If a seasoned pro like Sting takes it to such an extreme, YOU HAVE A BLOODY PROBLEM! This is what happens when you don't have a wellness program. You get dopefiends like Jeff Hardy endangering everybody. He could've killed Ken Anderson and Sting refused to let something bad happen to him. FIX THIS! Exactly. How the hell you justify putting the world title not once but twice on a guy whose up on drug charges is beyond me. Maybe Sting can knock TNA officials heads together because you don't let a guy in no condition to perform out to the ring. That's just endangering the other performer.
