Would you rather people just tell Jeff to f*** off on socials that work within the company? I'd rather Jeff have people who surround him and support him if he's really gonna try this again than not. It's not a fool to want to support a friend, I just hope it doesn't burn them. My point was that wrestlers are f****** stupid and I don’t take their opinions on these kinds of things seriously. They’d circle the wagons for Jeffrey Dahmer if he was one of “the boys.”

Surprised at how little blowback there is on their socials and such, Twitter usually lets AEW have it if they don't like a move. A lot of people just really want Jeff to be ok. Like there's some angry comments of course but not widespread, a lot of the top trends are people really happy and hoping. This is why I said they're gambling. A lot of people just really love Jeff no matter what and want to see him succeed/be happy in wrestling Can it be done? Idk, but they're gonna try it. It could blow up in their faces but as of right now this seems to be working out in terms of the reception Granted I'm only looking at Youtube, Twutter, and here, which has been the most negative reaction wise. Idk how places like Reddit look. People don't care. Riddle just came back with all his baggage and 95% of fans are just happy to see the guy. And that's after they talked about a lot of his dirty laundry on TV. God I completely forgot about Riddle Yeah this really just is how it is, unless you f*** up so bad you get banished to the shadow realm like some individuals...

In the end he's back in AEW and I hope he really does have a good support group there. I want this to end well, I don't think anyone wants disaster to happen, they just want things to be ok. I know I do.

Snuka was up there with Andre in terms of who WWE considered an icon of their company decades after he killed someone.

I was about to ask "Wait did Andre the Giant kill a man?"... not like he very easily couldn't have but lmfao Yeah the Snuka stuff slowly came more and more to light and outside of his passing they seemed to shy away from mentioning him as much huh?

I mean he didn't kill a guy but Hogan still comes around every so often and he said some of the most vile racist shit you'll ever hear. And he does get some boos now but he still gets a solid reaction.

It’s similar to Moolah in that WWE had to shy away from them out of necessity.

I will say a positive thing about Jeff, he looks to be in the best shape he's been in... in quite some time I hope that's some sign of seriousness from him, even if he can't go like he used to, he wants to prove something, whether it's to people or himself I hope he keeps that way and keeps healthy, I really do.

Yeah, we're getting Punk back. Tony's getting every big name he to sell out Wembley regardless of how problematic they are.
Besides that because the NBA playoffs is going to kill every wrestling show in the rating, and next week Dynamite is facing LeBron...

Not to pile on, but enabling and exacerbating addicts in wrestling is not a hill to die on, man. This move sucks, and I expect better from Tony but maybe he's not that guy either.He's a carny in the carny business. Exactly 💯

This is like one of those times where you see a car crash about to happen, and you're powerless to do anything but watch it take place.
I hope I'm wrong, but once an addict always an addict.

Heres my thing with both of them. If you have them under contract you might as well use them in some fashion, it'd be a waste of money and lets face it they are big names. This is a low-card feud, I'm not too worried about it, but keep him away from anything important. So cut their contracts! This is not rocket science. Jeff is a near-crippled failure of a human being that shot-up enough to kill an elephant then got behind a wheel, and Punk is a toxic drama magnet that assaulted co-workers and who nobody wants to share a locker with anymore. Infact what Jeff did was way worse. He could have taken lives that day. You are 100% correct I was only speaking to if they are being insistent about keeping him. I said the same thing about the E when they put the belt on the USO's after (Jey?) had his 15th DUI

I can't fathom the logic of "what we need right now to give this company a boost is Jeff Hardy." He brings nothing to the table other than liability.

I'm not defending the decision, but he's getting big pops, he's got new merch people are already buying, and he popped the ratings quite a few times when he had AEW matches If he brought nothing they wouldn't have brought him back, the reason he's gotten so many chances in his career, is because he does bring something to them Again, NOT defending the decision, I'm just seeing why they did it.

Even if wrestling wasn't a bad influence on him likely to make him backslide again, he's been a completely shit wrestler for at least like seven years at this point so it's hard to remotely want him around.

I get that at the end of the day it is Jeffs choice to continue this path but at some point Tony you gotta tell this dude to f*** off and support him in other ways if you feel you must
he is going to injure or worse himself or other people out there, you really want that on your company forever? just pay the guy and his brother to manage or give creative help, not this shit.
I never thought in a million years they’d actually bring this dude back yet again

I have to imagine he's on thin as f*** ice but given Jeff's history of falling back into a job, I didn't see offense one being AEW cutting ties with him, especially since he complied with everything. Ironically Jeff has done the "Just do these things and stay quiet until you come back, don't make any more waves" better than CM Punk has... that's pretty sad lol

Really that the dude continued to get any work after Victory Road is an embarrassment to begin with, to say nothing of how many times he's f***ed up since and just none of it matters at all.
