Jeff Hardy was not allowed to board a flight the morning after the WWE Smackdown taping in Nashville

Jeff Hardy was not allowed to board a Southwest Airline flight in Nashville on Wednesday morning because he appeared to be intoxicated, Southwest spokesman Chris Mainz told The Tennessean. "He was very cooperative and there was no altercation. There was no need to get police." The story notes that he was offered a later flight, but opted to make other arrangements.

Powell's POV: This could have been a lot worse for Hardy and WWE. One can only hope for Hardy's sake that there's nothing more to the story. Still, I have a hunch that his future includes a kick to the gut followed by a Pedigree.
