WWE News Jeff Hardy comments on his suspension, says there won't be a third strike Jul 24, 2008 - 01:42 PM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Jeff Hardy addressed the 60-day suspension he served earlier this year in the latest issue of WWE Magazine. "I made a mistake and I paid for it," Hardy states. "That was a huge, huge punishment. I was involved in such a big match heading in, and I missed it. But I think the fans respect the fact that I've confessed to what I did wrong. Throughout my suspension, they tested me two or three times each week. No joke. The testing is very thorough, which is good. You literally have to lift your shirt up to your chest, and drop your pants. Then some guy squats next to you so he can watch you piss." Hardy also commented on what he said to the locker room the day he found out about the suspension and commented on the possibility of a third strike. "I came backstage and apologized to all the guys," he continued. "I told them it wouldn't happen again. Everybody was really cool and supportive. They knew I was sorry... There's so much stress that goes along with getting suspended, or even knowing that you might get suspended. To me, it's just not worth it. Jeff Hardy will not get suspended again." Powell's POV: Hardy also discusses the house fire that occurred days after he was suspended and his desire to win a World Title. He did not say what he tested positive for, but he did mention that he knew he was in trouble when he showed up to the building that day and saw the tester was present. To the best of my knowledge, these comments were made by Hardy, meaning this is not a worked interview. I think it's interesting that WWE is allowing its magazine to acknowledge that Hardy is one strike away from being fired. The WWE Magazine with the Hardy cover story is available on newsstands now.
