Jeff Hardy's home burned down

[Steveweiser]

So people are making jokes about Jeff's house burning down? Just as well I started this thread on Page 14. Poor guy.

[Hiroshi Hase]

That newz article there about WWE possibly burning his house down is utterly ridiculous.

I may not be a fan of the guy but I hope his life turns around and gets the help he needs.

I Just wonder if King and JR will use the term "Like a house on fire" during Jeff's matches...

Not for 60 days, and probably not ever.

[Kae]

That's terrible news. I can't imagine how he must be feeling at the moment.

That article was one of the most ridiculous pieces I've ever read. Vince may be an unscrupulous businessman in some respects, but he's not about to go and burn down wrestlers' homes for failing drug tests.

Could Jeff Hardy’s house burning down be retaliation by WWE? Did Jeff have is actual results inside his home? It sure seems very convenient. WWE sends Jeff home for sixty days and then his house goes up in flames. It claimed his dog as well. Could WWE have done this to make Jeff enter a rehab facility? Jeff could have refused and WWE went to drastic means to get him help. Without a home would Jeff be more open to treatment?

Look, this is all just talk. There is no proof that WWE planned this out to get congress off their back. It just seems a tad convenient. It is what they call food for thought. This isn’t as farfetched as it seems as well. WWE has a history of covering up events they don’t like or needed to go away. He mid-nineties come to mind instantly. It is only fifteen years or so since some of those problems. Could this be a new WWE scandal or is it still the continuation of the Chris Benoit fiasco? Who can say? It sure makes for some good discussion and fun conspiracy theories though.

How low can some people go

And I thought the most moronic thing I'd ever read was that satanic Kevin Sullivan killed Nancy and Benoit out of revenge.

I have a feeling the will mention it. It's a damn shame and should be noted.

Now if he was covering up his meth lab, then we can have Vince on Raw.

Do the whole Beniot speech again and not mention Hardy ever again.

Sorry that was a joke, guy is my favorite and I'm very sure he is probably getting suspended for weed or one of the other smaller drugs that are on there list of infractions.

Best of luck to Jeff and feel awful your dog died and whatever memories you had went up.

The material items can go who cares, it's the pictures of family and things you have one of that are tough to let go.

That's really horrible. Don't know what i would do if my house burned down, and i lost my dog and/or cat.

WWE's web site did acknowledge that Jeff Hardy's home was destroyed by fire over the weekend. I believe he was living in a double wide mobile home, as opposed to an actual brick house like his brother Matt.

- The WWE article did note that Hardy told investigators that he did not have insurance on his home.

- The fire department is not investigating foul play, yet the cause of the fire is still "undetermined." According to Dave Meltzer, the fire department believes the fire started inside the home, but have apparently ruled out Jeff himself as causing the blaze.

- At last week's meeting with Vince McMahon, Hardy told the WWE boss that he was not a party guy anymore, and didn't need rehab. He went as far as to say that if McMahon wanted to fire him, that last week's Raw match against Chris Jericho could be his last match with the company.

How does this guy supposedly "know" what Jeff and Vince discussed in what I assume was a *private* meeting?

This sounds like NEWZZZZZZZZZZZZ to me.

Let’s not go patting WWE on the back over suspending Jeff Hardy just weeks before WrestleMania. Yes they have seemingly stuck to their directive and suspended an independent contractor for failing a drug test. Yes they suspended an independent contractor who was being pushed for a top spot after WrestleMania. In all likelihood he would have been better positioned for WrestleMania if John Cena had not come back way ahead of schedule and steal his thunder. In fairness if Jeff Hardy had not become so hot maybe Chris Jericho would not have floundered but then maybe being paired with an out of shape JBL didn’t help as well.

Anyway, Jeff Hardy screwed up. He failed a drug test for a company he is not actually an employee of. Sure he knows the rules and he failed to follow them for some reason. It hasn’t been made clear why he failed his test but being a confirmed meth addict in the past so a connection to recreational drugs remains and easy correlation. Addiction is a bitch of a thing and the wrestling lifestyle is not conducive to fighting demons outside the ring. It isn’t clear why WWE does not publish why the wrestler failed the test. Wouldn’t it be more amusing for the smartass Internet fans to base their jokes on?

All right maybe that isn’t a good enough reason; maybe WWE should publish the results so others can learn from his mistakes? Sure some could take this as an opportunity to figure out ways around the system, in case they have not already, and that is a viable argument. Sure they have a big aversion to publishing the reasons for failure since congress still has her eyes on WWE. No not all of wrestling, just WWE. Dixie carters maneuvering and what not is nice but it really doesn’t matter.

Let’s use fishing for an example. You don’t go fishing for minnows. You use em as bait while trying to get the big fish. TNA is the bait in this equation. Dixie did her part and allowed congress to swallow them and now with the bait swallowed…wait does this work? Damnit is this recording? This feels like being on an edition of The DEJ Experience. Screw it; TNA isn’t a big deal to the United States government. WWE is all they want to go after and a group that is one step above an independent promotion is interesting and laughable.

So back to Jeff Hardy, man this really is like and edition of the show. Jeff’s test results being made public and WWE suspending him seems almost convenient. They needed a big get to show that their testing program, excuse me, wellness policy, is for real. There is no way they would take a star at the top of the heap that would really screw up their biggest event of the year. They needed a recognizable name and then make an example of them.

Unfortunately Jeff fit the description. His history made him susceptible to foul play. He is the first and easiest scapegoat for WWE. Shawn Michaels could have been used as the scapegoat but his good standing inside the company prevents and action being taken against him. No one cares if Ken Kennedy gets suspended again. Really, he doesn’t have the history of drug use that Jeff and Shawn have. So planting a failed drug test on him wouldn’t have the same effect. It would have been easy seeing how he was in the Money in The bank match along with Jeff and it is the easiest match on the card to rebook.

Could Jeff Hardy’s house burning down be retaliation by WWE? Did Jeff have is actual results inside his home? It sure seems very convenient. WWE sends Jeff home for sixty days and then his house goes up in flames. It claimed his dog as well. Could WWE have done this to make Jeff enter a rehab facility?

OK, this article is the biggest load of bollocks ever.

Liger died?

I'm so sorry, jesus.

Shit man, don't scare me like that again. I've not read any news stuff today and wasn't thinking about the dog, and for a second there I thought you meant Jushin Liger. Stupid I know, but that's what I associate 'Liger' with.

Meltzer did say on LAW that this was a straight suspension with no forced rehab. If that's true, I don't see them releasing him unless he screws up again.

[derrtaysouth95]

what I want to know is, why does Jeff Hardy live in a trailer? Is his addictions that bad all he can afford is a double-wide? I guess it's good he stays close to his family....Matt is apparently within visible distance to notice the smoke.

I hope Jeff gets his life straight....get off the addictions, get into rehab, get a house, get refocused, get the championship.

So his girlfriend for years and years standing by him during a horrific time, instead of walking out on him and probably causing a serious mental breakdown, makes her an enabler?

If she's been with him for years and years, she was likely around the first time he got canned for using drugs in WWE. And she was likely with him when he drove everyone in TNA mad with his wild behaviour and rapmant drug use some time later.

At some point, you have to either try and change the person or get out.

See I think she might be passive about it because she loves jeff.

I mean that's why Whisper stayed with HBK even though he was always drugged out of his gourd...

At some point Jeff's gotta look in the mirror and man up.
