Jeff Hardy and Other Stars Comment On Arrest, Vince On Benoit, Ratings

- Following his arrest last week regarding drug charges, several WWE stars as well as Jeff Hardy himself commented.

Hardy said, “A lot of exaggerations are out there today. Don’t believe everything you read 4 it is not true, I am home and fine – thanks for your concern.”

His brother Matt commented, “It’s been a long, stressful day for me…But everything will be ok. Guaranteed. Like Public Enemy said, ‘Don’t believe the hype.’ And remember, innocent until proven guilty.”

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!”

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

- For those thinking Jeff Hardy will be deleted from the history books, that might not be the case considering Vince McMahon made the recent comment about Chris Benoit in “The Untold History of WWE” book. “It’s not right to pretend he didn’t exist. It’s one thing to include him as part of a historical perspective, which I believe is OK, and it’s another thing to promote him, which is not OK. The situation is very similar to that of O.J. Simpson – despite his controversy, O.J. was still a part of the NFL scene. You can’t deny that he existed.”

- On the TNA front, Impact last week drew a 0.9 cable rating on Spike TV. They were head to head with NFL’s Pittsburgh vs. Tennessee season opening game.

  1. Vince of all people better believe that it’s wrong to pretend that Benoit never existed.

  2. Wonder why TNA ratings are going down so much? Cant just be from a football game… The quality gets better and better each week, what the hell do you people want??

    Looking forward to TNA coming to Australia, I will actually go and see that, never been to a WWE show but TNA I will…

  3. Im glad Vince isnt completely wiping Beniot out, i wanna see him on DVD’s again.
