There are a lot of rumblings within TNA that Jeff Hardy is looking to return to WWE when his current contract expires in early 2013.
The feeling is that Hardy wants to return to WWE for one more big run and make a bunch of money because he lost a lot with the legal troubles he has had over the past few years.
We noted before that TNA had Hardy win the Bound For Glory Series because they want to keep him happy. TNA really wants Hardy to stay as he is their biggest merchandise seller. The feeling is that TNA may put the World Heavyweight Title on Hardy to try and persuade him to re-sign.
Even if TNA puts the title on him that won't change Jeff's mind if he wants to go back to WWE. WWE were pushing Hardy to the moon as WHC and he still left for TNA. Who is to say he won't do the same to TNA? Its definitely possible at this point. Whether Vince wants to risk Jeff at this point or whether Jeff wants to be on the road that long again is another question.
I'm ok with a Jeff Hardy return, even a Kurt Angle return as well, but then again I think they are currently happy with their positions in TNA so I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon.
Hell no. He's had two separate spells already - and everyone wants the company to go forward? They need to nurture new talent, not keep bringing the same guys back, especially a fucking liability like Jeff Hardy.
I sound like a hypocrite here because I am in favour of them bringing back Bully Ray on a short term deal, the difference is Bully Ray would actually be an asset.
lol it won't happen if they expect him to sign a full 5 year contract, that shit is dead in the water with him now, he's said so many times, and I highly doubt WWE are willing to risk a 3 year deal on someone as valuable as him.
He's got a pretty sweet deal in TNA I would imagine.
He doesn't have to do the full time traveling, is still pushed as a top star, safe bet he's making decent money and he can also run his part time drug empire on the side which WWE wouldn't allow.
If it's a year run then I could see him return but I wouldn't be surprise if he stayed in TNA.
The possibility of another Punk/Hardy feud is enough to get me on board. I'm not a big supporter of Jeff Hardy, but that feud is a forgotten gem.
Hardy obviously comes with his baggage, but I feel that he's really starting to come into his own as a performer. Is he the best wrestler? No, but he is an act that a lot of people want to see, and one that is far more unique than 90% of the current roster. The WWE could use a little spice. Even if that spice is mixed with coke, questionable mic work and an uneven work-rate.
Hardy has his haters but the fact is he would be the 2nd biggest star in the company if he returned. (Yes he would be more over and sell more merchandise than Fella, Punk and Orton)
This, people can argue about Jeff's drawing power all day long, but the fact of the matter is, is that he would have been tied with Cena as the top draw had he stayed with WWE during his last run, and he was already on the verge of that before he left anyways. The guy was number two then.
The soft spot Vince has for him is well documented, fuck ups and all. They were still trying to sign him even after his arrest, after his indictment and after he showed up live on Impact. They will milk his comeback and his recovery for all that it's worth, have him talk to kids at Be a Star rallies, make another DVD and sell more t shirts. Even if he signs a one year contract, he'll end his career there.
I wouldnt want Hardy in wwe but you can't say the guy wasnt super over when there. He would come back even more over. A feud with Punk would be gold. Would hurt TNA alot if he left. He might not be bringing in the ratings but I keep hearing he is there number one seller.
would be bad for tna but good for wwe. It would be a pity for his fans if he never tries wwe again because unlike angle he can still go a few years.
I am not a fan of hardy and I wouldn't want to see him beat cm punk then because that will definitley happen. but I think it will be good for business.
I think we could see some good quality if Jeff made for a third and final WWE run. He's allegedly been clean since the 2011 Victory Road incident, and WWE would probably like to jump on that image he's making for himself now.
Why not? It's not like he was some irrelevant jobber, he was fucking insanely over at the time of his departure. Nobody was getting bigger pops than Hardy.
Put him on RAW, and Cena would have some competition...
