Jeff Hardy's Father Talks About Son's Case, JR Mentions Jeff on His Blog

Jeff and Matt Hardy's father, Gilbert Hardy, is painting a picture that Jeff has gone into seclusion during a period of uncertainty on his future after being arrested on September 11 for drug possession.

"He won't talk. He ain't talking to nobody," Mr. Hardy told the Fayetteville Observer newspaper. "He doesn't even want to talk to me."

Jeff is due in court again on December 2 for a probable cause hearing to determine if there is enough evidence for a case to be presented against Hardy or whether the charges he is faced with should be thrown out.

Hardy was scheduled for court on November 4, but the case was continued another month. Hardy did not appear in court, but his attorney represented him and requested the continuance.

The newspaper tried to receive a comment from Jeff, but they said he refused to speak. The paper also reports that Hardy could face six years in prison if convicted of one of the drug trafficking charges.

However, the first concern is whether Hardy's legal situation makes it past the Dec. 2 court date to determine if there is enough evidence to present a formal case against Hardy.

Update on Jeff Hardy's Court Hearing

CARTHAGE - A drug trafficking case against a Moore County wrestler was continued Wednesday in District Court.

A probable cause hearing for Jeff Hardy, a professional wrestler from Cameron, has been rescheduled for Dec. 2.

Hardy, 32, did not appear in court. He was represented by his Pinehurst lawyer, Jim Van Camp.

During a recess, Van Camp said Hardy had planned to attend but they had not received a report from the drug lab.

Hardy was arrested Sept.11 during a search of his home. He was charged with several drug offenses, including trafficking in opium and prescription pills, and possession of anabolic steroids.

Officers seized about 262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 Soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder cocaine and drug paraphernalia, according to the Moore County Sheriff's Office.

The estimated street value of the drugs was $2,500.

Hardy is perhaps best known as one-half of the wrestling tag team partnership, The Hardy Boyz. His brother, Matt, makes up the other half.

Backstage Rumor on Jeff Hardy's Arrest

Backstage Rumor on Jeff Hardy's Arrest

A highly unconfirmed and highly explosive rumor on the Jeff Hardy arrest has been floating around the WWE lockerroom in recent weeks.

According to ProWrestling.net, the source of the story, the rumor claims that Hardy was essentially “caught” accepting a package that had been flagged prior to delivery.

The rumor claims that police had flagged a package that was shipped to Hardy’s home. When Hardy brought the package into his home, he essentially signaled to police that a raid was justified–the search and arrest soon followed.

Those buying into the rumor note that Hardy claims he had no idea what was in the package, believing it to be related to a business venture with a partner from outside North Carolina.

This explosive rumor has not been confirmed; all that has been officially stated on what led to Hardy’s arrest is that police were acting on a tip when they searched the former WWE World Champion’s home.

At press time, Hardy is said to be in good spirits and very confident that he will be largely vindicated as a result of the court proceedings. Hardy next appears in court on the matter on November 4.

Stone Cold Talks About Jeff Hardy

Stone Cold Talks About Jeff Hardy

Steve Austin sat down recently with Wrestlecast from The UK Sun to discuss a various range of topics.

On Jeff Hardy: “I called him a while back and talked to him,” he said. “He’s a good looking kid, he’s got a really unique style, people love him, he has his own kind of charisma. I wish he could put it all together and get his personal demons behind him… He got caught with a lot of stuff and we’ll see what happens.”

He said he’s reached out to wrestlers before who he heard had issues with drug abuse or addiction. “I’ve called a few guys when I hear some of them getting into problems,” he said. “I try to give my two cents to the situation. They’ll all swear that everything is cool, it turns out things aren’t cool. [Vince McMahon] has offered to pay for rehab for anybody who wants it. Some people have taken him up on it, some people haven’t. I get made when people point the finger at Vince and say it’s his fault. It’s not his fault. He’s a third generation promoter who runs a wrestling company. I take responsibility for all my actions. I think everybody should. I refuse to think that it’s Vince McMahon’s fault for any of this.”

He said Jeff Hardy has created challenges for WWE, because he’s so popular and talented, yet there’s a risk with pushing him as much as they might like to otherwise. He said the recent arrest just accentuates their need to be cautious with him over the years.

“Man. This last thing I just heard about the other day when I was driving back from Texas to L.A.,” he said. “They never gave that guy a full green light push, but you can’t keep him down. All the calamity and trouble he gets into, but people love him. If they ever fully gave him a green light push, who knows what would happen? But you can’t do that because you don’t know what he’s going to do because all of a sudden you have all of this time and money invested and then he screws up. So who knows what’s going to come out of it, if he’s going to do time or whatever. He has some serious stuff going against him.”

Jeff Hardy still a top seller for WWE

Jeff Hardy still a top seller for WWE

Jeff Hardy has remained the top merchandise seller in WWE despite being off television and done with the company since late August reports The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. ShopWWE.com is still featuring a big section for his merchandise at this link. As reported on earlier, Hardy's case has been pushed to another hearing on November 4 in a request by the prosecution. This has caused many on Hardy's side to believe they don't have enough to build a case around. There is also nothing new to report on his planned reality show series as everything is on hold until his next hearing.

JR's Blog Posts Regarding Jeff Hardy's Arrest

JR's Blog Posts Regarding Jeff Hardy's Arrest

Here are some of JR's posts on his blog this past weeks with regards to Jeff Hardy's arrest:

Jeff Hardy has taken down his Twitter page which is a smart move. The less Jeff says about his legal entanglements the better. I do not believe for a moment that Jeff Hardy is a "drug trafficker" or "dealer." I don't know why Jeff allegedly was in possession of the drugs in question, there are lots of avenues of speculation, but hopefully there is be a viable explanation. Nonetheless this apparent mistake will hopefully be quickly and efficiently addressed so that Jeff can put this embarrassing ordeal behind him and focus on more positive things including his own physical and mental well being.

I saw Matt Hardy in Hamilton but never spoke to him about his brother's situation as I figured that Matt had already been quizzed by enough people on that matter. We spoke but not about the recent controversy as both Matt and Jeff know that I am supportive of them and have been for years since I signed them to their first WWE contract.

"To the best of my knowledge, the WWE hasn't pulled the plug on the Jeff Hardy DVD as of yet. With so much legal maneuvering still ahead I can see this project become slowed until more info is available or postponed. However, as has been said many times in this and many other businesses, controversy creates cash. As I understand it, and this is certainly subject to change, the Jeff Hardy DVD will be released prior to the holidays around the first of December."

"Word has it that Jeff Hardy is "laying low" these days and diligently preparing to meet the challenges that await him. The more I hear of this legal matter the more I think that there is MUCH more to this story than meets the eye and that Jeff Hardy is far from being a drug trafficker. To even think the latter is ridiculous. I feel confident that in the coming weeks that Jeff will have his day to reconcile this matter and to better address it publically. Until then, Jeff is wise to remain silent and not feel obligated to tweet, etc his fans as no one needs or deserves any information on this issue until the proper time. Just from what I have been able to ascertain, this case looks much worse on paper than it actually is but let's all allow the legal process to address this matter and remember that we, as citizens of the United States, are innocent until proven guilty."

Extreme Impact: Jeff Hardy Left His Mark On Professional Wrestling

2009-09-24T02:45:00.003+08:00

Extreme Impact: Jeff Hardy Left His Mark On Professional Wrestling

Justin Thomas from the Bleacher Report made an article about Jeff Hardy. Below are just some of what he has written:

For years, Jeff Hardy provided fans with unselfish entertainment. He would put his body on the line, all for the sake of entertaining fans. He built a special connection and relationship with his fans, one that cannot be duplicated.

Jeff has many detractors as well. Similar to other greats such as Hogan, Flair, The Rock, and, Shawn Michaels, people love to hate Jeff Hardy. As the old saying goes, "you can't be considered great, if you don't get your hate." Even though I just made that quote up, there's no denying Jeff gets the love and hate necessary to make him great.

Some will say "oh, Jeff doesn't have enough World Titles to be considered great." Another misinterpretation on the Hardy hater's part. If it was simply based on World Title reigns, Batista would be greater than Shawn Michaels. Clearly there's more to it.

In order to even earn a World Title, Hardy had to work his way up by dominating the tag team and mid card divisions. Some will ask, "didn't Edge and Christian dominate the tag team division?"—how wrong they are. Edge and Christian split in 2001, the same time that the Hardyz won their tag titles. Was it a mere coincidence? I'd say no.

The Hardyz have even held the WCW Tag Team titles, despite not competing in WCW! That says it all.

Aside from his World Titles, the most prestigious title Hardy has on his list is the Intercontinental title. He is by far the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time.

Some will say Jericho and Honky Tonk Man were better champs. How many times did Honky hold the title? How long did Jericho hold the title? Make no mistake about it: Hardy is indeed greater than the rest. Umaga and John Morrison's best feuds—along with their best matches—came from the Intercontinental Champion, Jeff Hardy...

Hardy overcame so many obstacles to reach the pinnacle of the WWE. At a young age, he decided he wanted to become a pro wrestler. His dad, who couldn't afford to send him to wrestling school, told him it would never happen.

That didn't stop Jeff, along with his brother Matt, from religiously training themselves, imitating their favorite tag team, the Rockers.

His hard work paid off, as Jeff was given a spot on live television, to wrestle against Razor Ramon at the young age of 16. Only a truly great wrestler would be given an opportunity like that.

Hardy was told he was too much of a screw-up to ever be champion, he was also told he wasn't built to be champ. Jeff proved you can overcome past issues (he's innocent until proven guilty), and you don't have to be a muscle-head to be a successful wrestler.
Despite what people say, Hardy gave it his all, night in and night out. Unlike so many today, he worked his way up to reach the top. What he lacks on the mic, he more than makes up for with his charisma and in-ring abilities.

Innocent Until Proven Guilty, JR, Matt and Fellow Wrestlers Comments on Jeff's Arrest

Jim Ross issued his first comments on the arrest of Jeff Hardy yesterday and the drug charges being brought against him.

"The news of Jeff Hardy's apparent arrest on drug charges is disturbing. I have spoken to no one about this matter and only know what info that I have read that was distributed by the police in North Carolina. I hope that there is better news on this matter forthcoming from Jeff or his attorney. Hopefully, Jeff has retained sufficient counsel to help him address these issues. I know that Jeff Hardy is a good young man with endless talents who finished his stint in WWE in grand fashion. Jeff, as are none of us, isn't perfect and I only hope this matter can be resolved quickly and efficiently so Jeff can move on with his life in a healthy and positive way. Jeff Hardy is innocent until proven guilty as there is likely much more to this matter than we know at this time."

To check out JR's full blog, click here.

Several WWE superstars have posted comments on Twitter about Jeff Hardy's arrest. Below are the comments.

Chris Jericho: "Don't think of judging Jeff Hardy until you've walked a mile in his shoes. I will always have Jeffs back..."

Matt Hardy: "Thanks for the support on SD tonight-I know I'm not 100% yet, but I promise you I'll get there. And remember, innocent until proven guilty... It's been a long, stressful day for me.. But, everything will be ok.. Guaranteed. Like Public Enemy said 'Don't Believe The Hype!'"

Chavo Guerrero: "Hey guys, just heard about jeff Hardy. Don't know details yet but i want to give my support. Jeff is a classy person and also have his back!"

-- Lance Storm posted a message on his website (StormWrestling.com) on Friday reflecting on September 11, 2001 as well as Jeff Hardy's arrest. Storm says he believes police charged Jeff with drug trafficking simply because of the large quantity of drugs found, not because he was actually a drug dealer. Storm said:

"I think having your own personal drug problems (no matter how severe) and being a drug trafficker are two completely different things. If the quantities of drugs, reportedly found in Jeff’s possession, are accurate then we have to assume he has a very serious drug problem, and that, even more so than his pending legal woes, is my biggest concern.

When Jeff was suspended from WWE the last time, for a Wellness violation, and then shortly there after lost his house and dog in a fire my heart went out to him. I think a lot of people (myself included) thought and hoped that was a turning point for Jeff and he had gotten his life in order since. Unfortunately that does not appear to be the case."

A number of media outlets have picked up on the story including TMZ which has a story at this link. It doesn't appear the Associated Press has picked up the story as of this evening.

WWE tried to get Jeff Hardy to stay

WWE tried to get Jeff Hardy to stay

According to a new report by The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE was still trying to get Jeff Hardy to stay with the company right up until the last minute. Hardy was offered a big money deal where he wouldn't have to work any house show events and only TV tapings and Pay Per View events. WWE has never offered a deal like this in the past including to top names like The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels who work limited dates to begin with.

Were told the company has made efforts to sign him to an exclusive merchandise contract that would allow them to continue to create more merchandise for him and keep him signed to prevent him from going anywhere else in wrestling while he is on his hiatus. As of now, Hardy is contractually free to do whatever he wants although he has given every indication that he wants to take a break from anything wrestling related.

As reported on earlier, he has been given some big money offers for appearances and plans to commit to only a few as he concentrates on his reality show and band.

Friday Night Smackdown Steel Cage Match Result
WWE Smackdown
August 28, 2009
Phoenix, AZ
Report by: Mike Tedesco of WrestleView.com

Start of Show
Justin Roberts asks us to welcome the new and only straightedge World Heavyweight Champion in history CM Punk. CM Punk’s music hits and he comes out limping, but with a smile on his face, as the audience boos. CM Punk gets in the ring and says, “I told you so!” Punk says he told us all he’d beat Jeff Hardy at Summerslam, and in case we were too intoxicated to remember, he’ll show us how he did it. We now see a great highlight video showcasing the tremendous TLC match from Sunday. What an awesome match that was.

CM Punk is shown watching the video with a smile. Punk says he’s never felt more alive in his entire life than he does in this moment. Punk’s positive none of us have ever felt this way because we take shortcuts. Punk says he feels every ache and pain of every table, ladder, and chair that Hardy TRIED to use to stop him from getting back his World Heavyweight Title. Punk says it was the most brutal match of his entire career but it’s the pain that makes him feel so alive. Of course he hasn’t taken a thing for it, unlike us and Hardy. Even with the smallest headache we reach for our medication, but not the regular strength – we double up on the extra strength. If any of us felt the way he feels physically right now, we’d be on a morphine drip. Punk mentions that maybe some of us already are. Physical pain isn’t the only trauma he felt at Summerslam. After the match he was celebrating his superiority over all of us when we were all robbed of his moment by the evil incarnate himself, the Undertaker! A video is now shown of Undertaker Chokeslamming CM Punk after the match in one of the coolest surprises I’ve seen in a long time. That was a tremendous moment. I was going crazy.

After all CM Punk has been through, tonight he’s being forced to compete in a Steel Cage Match. Punk says that’s unfair and it borderlines on conspiracy because the “higher ups” are terrified of him, just like we are. We fear what we don’t understand and we really don’t know what a straightedge world champion is. Punk says he’s a pioneer and he makes sacrifices. He is the role model we all need – he doesn’t drink, smoke, and doesn’t abuse prescription medication like Jeff Hardy. That’s proof that straightedge means he’s better than us and Jeff Hardy, and tonight he’ll prove it once again.

Jeff Hardy’s music hits and he comes out to a HUGE reception from the Phoenix crowd! Hardy gets in the ring and soaks in the cheers from the fans. Hardy says he hopes Punk has enjoyed his reign as straightedge World Heavyweight Champion because it ends tonight. Punk comes out here on his high horse of self-righteousness, preaching as if the three most important words in the English language are, “Just Say No,” when the three most important words tonight are, “Steel Cage Match.”

Punk asks what Hardy took to get the guts to come down here to the ring and face him. Punk asks if it was pain killers, just like the crowd takes. Punk asks if he takes pain killers to dull his reality but he’ll give reality to Hardy and us. Punk says he’s tired of everyone booing him and seeing young, impressionable children cheering Hardy. Punk says he’s fed up with Hardy and us. Punk says one of them doesn’t belong here anymore. Punk says Hardy likes to take risks so he gives one to him now: tonight, the loser is thrown out of WWE. Punk says that means if he loses, we all never have to listen to him come down to the ring and tell the truth. Hardy says he likes that. Punk says if Hardy loses than that means his lifestyle, skills, and drug free judgment is better than Hardy’s and it means straightedge is better than him. It’ll make everyone else realize that straightedge is the way to go because Hardy won’t be here anymore.

Hardy thinks about it for a moment as the crowd chants his name. Hardy says it’s risky, crazy, and Punk is ON! Teddy Long’s music hits and he makes the match official. The loser of tonight’s match will no longer be in WWE. The person who wins will defend the World Heavyweight Championship in about two weeks at Breaking Point, where every Main Event match is a submission match. The winner will be in a submission match at Breaking Point against the Undertaker!

Main Event Match
World Heavyweight Championship Steel Cage Match
Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk (c)
The loser of the match must leave WWE

The only way to win the match is by pinfall, submission, or escaping the cage with both feet touching the floor.

The match can officially start now. Punk immediately starts climbing out of the cage but Hardy gets up and pulls him down. Punk hits some punches and kicks. Punk hits a snapmare and a kick to the back. Punk goes to climb out of the cage again but Hardy grabs him by the ankle. Hardy hits some punches until Punk kicks him and suplexes him. Punk again tries to climb out and again Hardy catches him. They’re on the top rope. Hardy tries to smash Punk’s face off the top of the cage but Punk blocks it. Punk smashes Hardy’s face off the top of the cage and Hardy falls to the mat. Punk jumps off and covers for a near fall.

Punk drops a leg and goes to leave but Hardy holds on to his ankle. Punk picks him up by the hair and hits some right hands. Hardy responds with some right hands of his own. Hardy has a whip reversed on him and he goes for a cross-body block but Punk ducks him. Punk picks him up and goes to smash his face off the cage but Hardy blocks it. Hardy sends him face first into the cage three times before hitting an inverted atomic drop for a two count! Hardy stomps Punk and has a whip to the corner reversed on him. Hardy runs up the turnbuckle with Whisper in the Wind for a near fall! We’ll take our first commercial break here.

-Commercial Break-

We come back from the break to see Jeff Hardy attempting to escape the cage. Punk grabs him by the ankles and Hardy kicks him off. Hardy hits a cross-body block off the top rope for a near fall. Both men are down. Hardy makes his way for the door and Punk drags him away. Punk catapults Hardy into the cage but Hardy holds on and attempts to climb up by Punk catches him at the top! Punk and Hardy punch it out on the top rope. Hardy attempts to escape again but Punk catches him. Punk attempts a superplex by Hardy punches him and Punk falls crotch first on the top rope. Jeff Hardy follows up with a Swanton Bomb! Hardy can’t follow up immediately but eventually makes the pin and Punk kicks out at two and seven-eighths!

Punk is now climbing slowly from the top rope and Hardy is crawling out of the door. Punk cuts Hardy off and pulls him back in. Hardy hits his mule kick and Punk is between the ropes and the cage. Hardy sandwiches him there. We’ll take our final commercial break here.

-Commercial Break-

We come back from the break to see Punk halfway out of the cage door with Hardy holding him. Punk screams that he’s out but, of course, he really isn’t. This is great stuff. Hardy viciously clubs Punk and they trade punches. Hardy comes out on top and goes for the Twist of Fate. Punk shoves him off and goes for the GTS but Hardy counters into a backslide pin for a near fall! Punk hits a double under-hook backbreaker for a near fall.

Both men are extremely battered. Punk picks Hardy up and goes for the GTS but Hardy lands on his feet and hits the Twist of Fate! Hardy slowly begins making his way up the cage and is halfway out when CM Punk gets up and grabs his ankle. Hardy kicks and punches Punk away. Hardy gets over the top and dangles over the floor. Punk pulls him back in and SUPERPLEXES him off the top of the cage!! CM Punk begins making his way up the cage. Hardy cuts him off as Punk dangles over the floor. Hardy sits on top of the cage and Punk pokes him in the eyes and smashes his face off the cage! Hardy crashes and burns to the mat as CM Punk drops to the floor to win the match and retain his World Heavyweight Championship!! Jeff Hardy is out of WWE!!

Winner & STILL World Heavyweight Champion: CM Punk

CM Punk holds his World Heavyweight Championship and smiles as he waves goodbye to Jeff Hardy. The cage rises and Hardy lies in the ring as the reality of what just happened hits him. Hardy sits up in the ring and the crowd is chanting “Thank you Jeff.” Hardy gets up and applauds the crowd. Hardy grabs a microphone and says:

“First of all I’m sorry if I’ve let anyone down. I’m sorry that you’ll now be seeing CM Punk instead of me on Smackdown. But it’s been one hell of a ride, hasn’t it? I just want to thank all of you and I want to let you know that this is not goodbye forever; this is only goodbye for now. If the time is right I’m sure I’ll see you all in the future. Thank you all. Hey, but at least Matt’s back on my side. There’s still a Hardy on this show! Yours truly Jeff Hardy – ours truly this life!”

Jeff Hardy Says Goodbye, Leaves WWE

Jeff Hardy Says Goodbye, Leaves WWE

Following his SummerSlam triumph, a gloating CM Punk returned to SmackDown as the "only Straightedge Champion in WWE History." When The Charismatic Enigma interrupted his celebration, promising to end Punk’s reign in their steel cage rematch, Punk proposed the loser be thrown out of WWE. As the shocked WWE Universe stood witness, Hardy accepted the huge gamble. SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long arrived to set the stipulation in stone. He then dropped a bombshell, stating that at the brand new pay-per-view WWE Breaking Point, where every main event will be a submission match, the winner of the steel cage clash would face Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Later that night, after years of incredible feats of reckless abandon, fate finally caught up with Jeff Hardy in a moment of tragic irony. After blocking the high-flying specialist’s climb to victory, the World Heavyweight Champion superplexed him from high atop of the cage. Hardy battled back heroically, trying to prevent his adversary from getting over the cage with every fiber of his being. But a thumb to the eye by Punk sealed his fate, allowing The Straightedge Superstar to retain his title while simultaneously vanquishing the amazing Jeff Hardy from the WWE ring. After Hardy delivered a heartfelt goodbye to the WWE Universe (Video), the ruthless Punk added insult to injury, attacking the departing Superstar from behind with the World title.

More on Jeff Hardy TV Show and Upcoming Jeff Hardy DVD

WWE star Jeff Hardy has inked a deal with Fox 21 for his reality show according to Matt Hardy. Fox 21 is a subsidiary of Twentieth Century Fox.

The elder Hardy told the news to some people in attendance at a going away party for Jeff after Tuesday’s WWE Smackdown tapings. From Twitter pictures posted by Matt himself and according to reports from The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE Divas Maria, Layla El and Eve Torres were among those at the party. Also in attendance was longtime Hardy friends Shannon Moore & Gregory Helms. credits: forceofwrestling.com

In a recent blog from JR, he mentioned that he and John Cena filmed a few interviews for an upcoming Jeff Hardy DVD that is supposed to come out in a month or two.

Many WWE Superstars and I did interviews Tuesday afternoon for an upcoming Jeff Hardy DVD that will be released in a few weeks. I don't know how many talents were involved but there were several. John Cena was included as he and I visited about this project Tuesday evening in Phoenix.

This would be the first DVD for Hardy without his brother. So, it is probably going to focus on his singles career more so than his tag team career.

Latest News on Jeff Hardy (SPOILER ALERT)

As a result of last night's taping of Smackdown, Jeff Hardy lost to CM Punk who defends his Heavyweight Championship in a cage match... but with the stipulation that the loser "leaves WWE." This main event match will be aired this coming Friday night.

Jeff Hardy has been told by WWE management that the door is always open for him to return to the company. They also told him that if they could help him with any of his outside projects, such as his band Peroxwhy?gen or his potential reality show, that they would gladly work him into their "synergy".

Hardy explained that he was not leaving the company due to unhappiness. He simply wants time off of the road, so that he can do things at his own pace.

Most feel that it will be when, not if for his return. The feeling is that his departure is similar to Chris Jericho's a few years ago. Jericho left to work on acting and music projects, and then returned to the company, and with a more prominent position.

Hardy has received a ton of praise for his final months with the company. The feeling is that he helped bring CM Punk to a new level in the company, and now Punk is a legit force to go against the Undertaker, which will cement his position on the Smackdown side of things. It is thought that Hardy helped with Punk's evolution to one of, if not the top heel in the company.

Watch WWE Summerslam 2009 Jeff Hardy vs CM Punk TLC

At SummerSlam, World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy will put his title on the line against former World Champion CM Punk in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match.

The match of Extreme proportions was born out of epic circumstances. Five days after CM Punk lost his World title to Hardy at Night of Champions, he viciously attacked the war-torn Charismatic Champion on SmackDown. The following week, before the two Superstars were supposed to have their World Heavyweight Championship rematch, they attacked each other in a state of absolute bedlam. Amidst the mass hysteria, WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon emerged, declaring that he would name a “special guest enforcer” to ensure order in their championship rematch later that night.

When the special enforcer turned out to be Jeff’s estranged brother, Matt Hardy, the WWE Universe sat on the edge of their seats in disbelief, wondering how his presence would affect the outcome of the match. But none of them were prepared for what they were about to see. Shortly after getting inadvertently kicked by Punk, Matt stopped the referee from delivering the three-count on Jeff, thereby denying Punk a possible victory. As Matt confronted Punk in the ring, Jeff rolled his opponent up, leading to a surprise three-count by his older brother.

An enraged CM Punk then viciously attacked Jeff for the second week in a row. SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long responded by making the blockbuster announcement that Jeff Hardy would face CM Punk for the title at SummerSlam in the TLC Match.

Jeff Hardy is quite simply a master of the Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match. The event itself, which Hardy helped to pioneer, is tailor-made for his Extreme personality. Although some claim that he is too reckless and takes too many chances, it is his outrageous nature fused with Extreme matches like TLC that have gotten him to the top of the mountain. But, will the World Champion bring the same reckless intensity now that he has so much to lose?

CM Punk is The Straightedge Superstar with fury in his eyes, driven by an undeniable thirst to get his gold back. He has used his focus, dedication, and exceptional skill to conquer the Extreme before, winning two, back-to-back Money in the Bank Ladder Matches at WrestleMania, both of which led to World Championship reigns. The anger that he feels toward The Charismatic Champion, which has led directly to his recent acts of ruthless aggression, fully demonstrates his intention to win the title at any cost. Despite his proven skill with the ladder, how will he fair once the Extreme elements are intensified by the power of two?

Find out who will overcome the wrath of the TLC to capture the gold, Sunday, Aug. 23 at 8/7 CT, only on pay-per-view.
