Jeff Hardy's home burned down

[Shy Guy]

wow....his house and dog? thats tragic. i hope things turn around for him soon, even though it'll probably take a while for things to look up again...

[WWE Trademarked My Name]

Wow I really feel bad for Jeff right now, I didn't think it wasn't fair all the hatred he was getting for failing a frickin' drug test. I can understand being upset that he failed one at such a bad time in his career but it's called an addiction for a reason. I'm hoping this was an electrical fire or something and not some stupid hate crime.

By the way in 2003 WWE Magazine had an article on Jeff Hardy's home and all I got to say is that shit was crazy does anybody know if that was the place he was still living in? It was very very unique.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

Talk about a bad stretch, sheesh.

[Splinter]

He's gonna need a LOT of support right now. If his suspension was for use of recreational drugs this could just push him right over the edge

[chunkylover53]

If he wasn't suspended, I would get him a sympathy present(like an X-box) during Wrestlemania weekend, since I would be there.

ouch.

Poor Jeff

[Matt Dunn]

This is really sad. If there's any time to do drugs, it would be now. I'm not trying to be funny. Jeeze Louise he needs a break.

So nobody else seriously thinks the guy's basement meth lab exploded?

Dammit. I really hope he gets through all this.

Although if he entered rehab *after* he found this out, I'd like to think that's a step in the right direction and he'll be ok....

[The Ichi]

Has the cause of the fire been determined? This is something I'm interested in knowing.

Whilst I still think he's an idiot for blowing his chance, this sucks to happen to anyone.

That really sucks, tough break for Jeff.

[damna]

I know this may sound a bit weird, but if this had to happen, maybe it was the best time. Had his house burned down before he was suspended, it could have triggered a full-blown downward spiral. Now at least he has support and treatment options....

I wish him a full recovery, both of himself and his material status.

[darthpipes]

Poor dog.

[ChitownKnight]

poor guy, hopefully he can pull an Eddie Guerrero, and get his life back on track

This is just blind speculation, but the southeast had some electrical storms yesterday and into today.

[Phosphor Glow]

Holy hell. Poor Jeff . I'm glad he's okay and wasn't there when it happened though. My condolences go out to him and everyone related.

The fall out of the 60 day suspension of Jeff Hardy for a second violation of the WWE Wellness Policy is still making news. Sadly, Friday night, Jeff’s home in North Carolina burned to the ground and he lost essentially every thing he had and most sadly his dog. Losing an animal one is close to is just like losing a family member to many people and we just experienced that with the death of our 18 year old cat Molly who had to be put down after suffering a serious of strokes.

Apparently Matt Hardy saw smoke coming from Jeff’s home on Friday night, discovered that no one was home, but arrived at the house too late to do any thing but watch it burn to the ground.

These are challenging times for Jeff to say the least. Not only has he incurred his second strike with only one remaining before he would be terminated from the WWE, his situation has been underscored by the fact that his suspension went public per the WWE policy, which went into effect on November 1 and with which I wholeheartedly agree. Now Jeff’s home has been destroyed with the heart breaking reality that his beloved dog died in the fire as well.

Jeff’s career can be rebuilt if he so chooses to committing to do such. This commitment cannot be a short term commitment, but a life time commitment that must see him take it one day at a time and have the expressed goal of being successful in 24 hours intervals. I am one that truly believes that Jeff can make this happen, especially if those close to him offer Jeff the kind of support that he needs and that he seeks the wisdom and advise of a counselor who can help Jeff understand why these life and career threatening mistakes are being made.

Jeff’s home can be rebuilt materially, as well, but his many personal affects now nothing more than a memory. I hope this tragedy doesn’t push Jeff to the edge of the proverbial cliff to where his wrestling career becomes nothing more than a memory as well.

I grieve for the loss of the animal. I can only imagine what Jeff Hardy must be going through at this time. without question Jeff is being sternly tested. I hope he passes this test and the one’s to come admirably.

Jeff hardy will be 31 years old on August 31, 2008 and without question his wrestling career can be re-ignited if Jeff can prove to those that make the all important decisions that Jeff can be trusted and has become a responsible professional who understands how important it is to do the right things.

The trust factor is one that cannot be underscored enough. Over my 30+ years in the wrestling business I often wondered why so many of the men in charge were also their territories top stars. Owners/Promoters/Bookers like Eddie Graham, Verne Gagne, Fritz Von Erich, Bob Geigel, Bill Watts, Jerry Jarret and Jerry Lawler, The Funks, and so many more were their area’s top stars more often than not and did so because they knew they could trust and depend on their top stars, them. Being responsible and trust worthy are great traits to have in any field of endeavor, but it seems to be especially viable in the wrestling business based on my personal experiences.

Jeff Hardy can rebuild his home, hopefully he can somehow replace his beloved dog, I know that won’t be easy, but can he rebuild the trust with the WWE that allows Jeff to be provided with more opportunities to be the star that we all know that he can be? No one has this answer today. Only time will tell but I will say that my opinion is that it can be done but it certainly won’t be easy.

Although my father hates watching him on TV because he wears nail polish, I hope he pulls through and I certainly hope he was smart enough to obtain insurance.

Reading that blog makes me realy scared for him right now. If it's at all possible, I think the worst is yet to come.
