I guess I'll be the guy that rains on the parade, but I think he should not have been welcome back.
I can understand giving someone a second chance, but he has had several chances, both in WWE and in TNA.
He also made a bunch of people feel ripped off when he was too messed up to wrestle a ppv main event. If he's ever in a ppv main event again, I won't order the show because of that. So TNA has already lost money from me at least.

I hope the best for him. I really do. I'm not holding my breath but I really hope he's cleaning himself up.

Maybe he's learned from his brother's antics over the past year.
I know if Matt were MY brother, and I used to be considered the whacked out one, I'd take it as a golden opportunity to prove myself the sane one of the pair.
I just want to hear "No More Words" again and the massive pop that'll come with it, and the only way Jeff can make it back to the 'E is by keeping clean. I just want him to prove himself the sane Hardy.

That was about the best way to bring him back. Have him talk to the fans, make his promises, then end without anyone interrupting, without any angle planning. Just let him go out there and get it over with and move on. I think so to. Jeff needed the time to apologize of sorts.

I'm glad people are receptive to him coming back, but I gave him a chance when he first showed up in TNA and he didn't really wow me, which solidified my theory that Punk really made that feud work. Jeff was just kind of there.
I hope all goes well for the guy, but his re-appearance won't be a huge incentive for me to watch.

Just let him go out there and get it over with and move on. Absolutly. That was Jeff Hardy's time to explain himself, apoligize, and play the sympathetic, redemption-story babyface. That was his time and his alone. At that point, all the people wanted to hear was what Jeff said. Nobody gave a f*** what Immortal and Mr. Anderson had to say during that segment, that was all Jeff.

He will relapse. As awful as that may sound, he is in a business and lifestyle that will lead to a relapse. He is this generations Jake the Snake/Scott Hall/Raven...A great mind and awareness for the business but too many demons and urges. Unless he was willing to to do a monthly open drug test for the remainder of his tenure he will fall.

To the very least he's apparently going to be subject to random drug tests for the next 2 and a half years while he's on probation.

Jeff has long been a favorite of mine, but TNA should have outright fired him after he showed up wasted for a PPV main event match.
Here's hoping that he gets it back together though, I'd love to see the prodigal son return to the E one day. If he stays clean he could have an HBK level resurgence. That's a lot to hope for though, so I just hope he gets clean and stays that way.

Hopefully his issues will be sorted out, then he can go back to WWE for Punk vs Jeff Part 2 I disagree with this. If Jeff ever goes back to the 'E, it should be in a situation where Punk is cornered and the odds are against him, only for Jeff to come to his rescue. Punk, of course, wouldn't trust Jeff, like Jeff, or want Jeff's help at first, but Jeff has become a different person than he was in 2009 - he's gone through this life changing experience, and harbors no ill will towards his old enemy, instead extending a hand to him, saying that he's a changed man, and is in a better place, a place where he sees that CM Punk and he can be allies. Of course, Punk would be stubborn and unwilling to let the past go like that, still weary of Jeff. After a few more rescues and shows that Jeff is serious about his new life, Punk accepts Jeff's friendship. This storyline would be great to set Jeff back up with the WWE Universe not as a washed-up druggie, but a man born again and here with a purpose. THAT'S a storyline with real depth and emotion, rather than a forced Jeff return to fight Punk, who himself is a million miles away from what he was in 2009 - straight-edge jesus Punk is loooong gone, replaced by world-beating rebel face Punk - and if there's anyone in the back Jeff Hardy would want to prove himself to, oddly, it's CM Punk. But once he makes peace with his past...Jeff is primed for an Eddie/HBK comeback and redemption. However, all of this, as usual, hinges on Jeff staying clean.

That sounds absolutely fantastic as a story, good job! I do hope Jeff stays clean, I am not a fan of Jeff in ring but really do hope he's had his moment of clarity and managed to stay alive without addictions.

I'm not that excited about him being back but I'm an American pro wrestling fan so I'll have completely forgotten all that bad stuff in 2-3 weeks. Welcome back Jeff.

This reminds me of when Jake Roberts returned to the WWF during the New Generation era. He came back a changed man. He quoted the bible. Damien was gone and Revelation was the replacement. He preached the virtues of being sober. Everything seem to going into a positive directions.
Flash forward a decade later. He's broken down. Hooked on hard drugs. Working indies for drug money. Living a dysfunctional life. And yet still surviving to see another day.
Jeff Hardy needs to leave the pro wrestling business for an extended amount of time. Pro wrestling is his enabler and albatross. He can't get better as long he's still part of a toxic environment.

An absolutely astounding story that sticks with both men's current characters instead of regressing them 2 years. Great job dude.

If I were a wrestler that worked for TNA I wouldn't want to work with Jeff Hardy. Hey there are a lot of addicts that exist in the wrestling world. BUT if one is stupid enough to preform under the influence it not only endangers myself but everyone else in the locker room.
You can say well hey he is clean. Well yeah for how long? Addicts relapse all the time and if he was dumb enough to wrestle under that condition once he could do it again. Also why is this guy in the company after the stupid crap he pulled? The man should have been excommunicated from the company rather than welcomed back.
