because Jeff Hardy told Captain Bruner that he didn't have insurance on his home.

Damn that doubly sucks. Always have insurance.

Wow. When it rains, it pours.

It sure dose. Losing a pet as someone elese here said is devistating. I lost two cats months apart. It Hurts and give him and his girlfriend my sincere condolences.

[CrazySting]

I actually feel worse for his girlfreind. She's lost her home, her dog, and she has to put up with her walking disaster of a boyfreind who badly needs rehab.

I know there's the whole 'standing by your man' thing, but I don't know if I could put up with someone like that.

I do feel really bad for her, as this has got to be really difficult. I can't speculate too much on her state of mind, though, as she's a "private citizen."

Lets hope they both are able to pull through this.

Not trying to make light of it but main thing is at least he or his girlfriend werent injured or worse.

Sounds like an enabler...

I mean maybe if she did walk out it would be the kick in the ass he needs to sort himself out.

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

Well damn, speaking of bad luck.

I hope everything goes fine for them. I guess it' s at least a good thing that he and his girlfriend weren' t there when it burnt.

[Tea & Crumpets]

No insurance? Oh man. As if it wasn't bad enough with losing his dog, his possessions, his house and getting suspended. he can't even claim any of the money back to rebuild. Sucks to be Jeff, but this is 1 important life lesson- insurance is always worth it.

[Juliana]

It's now on the main page of WWE.com, if anyone noticed.

I'm pretty sure they wanted to make sure no foul play was suspected before they reported it.

["St. Louis Viper" Buck Summers]

Damn, poor Jeff is really getting f***ed by God lately.

[The Peoples Elbow]

I feel so bad for him. I hope Vince gives him another chance.

[CrazySting]

The insurance is just stupidity on jeff's part. He has more than enough money to get insurance.

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? 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

^ I actually groaned when I read that. There's enough bad news in this whole scenario. The wild speculation is just unnecessary.
