Jeff Hardy Talks TNA SpikeTV Situation, Working As Willow
Jeff Hardy was a recent guest on Live Audio Wrestling to promote Impact Wrestling on SpikeTV. Below are some interview highlights:
The situation with TNA on Spike TV:
“I don’t follow any of the timelines – Twitter or any of that. As far as I know negotiations are still ongoing. That’s all I know. As far as me – I just look at it like this – I’ll show up and do the best I can and have great matches. That’s my job. It’s not really my problem whether we stay on Spike or not. That’s somebody else’s problem.”
Putting a top star under a mask like TNA did with his Willow character:
“WWE would probably never do that because you know my face is my money maker. That’s what’s cool about it with me and being in TNA, a smaller planet in professional wrestling but they’re willing to take chances. As far as I’m concerned – I’m thankful they gave me that chance. Because – for me – I’m 36 years old now. Just to do that – to have these memories on video that will last forever. I can always say I brought Willow back and it wasn’t half bad.”
Changes he has made since Victory Road:
“When you do get clean and completely drug free it’s amazing how things change. I find it hard to forgive myself for the way I was you know back in the day with the abuse and the addiction – it kinda makes me sick. Looking back on it – if I would’ve never got hooked. You can’t dwell on that. I’m lucky I’m alive.”
