WWE News Jeff Hardy explains what happened at the Nashville Airport and why he was removed from the plane By Jason Powell Oct 3, 2008 - 10:05 AM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Jeff Hardy commented on the Nashville International Airport incident that took place the morning after a Smackdown taping during an interview with the Baltimore Sun. "That was extremely blown out of proportion," Hardy said. "So many wrestlers drink at times, and I had been drinking a lot that night. I’m not going to lie — I’ve been on planes a lot drunker than that. There was nothing rude done; I wasn’t violent or anything like that. "I guess I was stumbling boarding the plane or something, and somebody must have just said that I was drunk, because I was asleep on the plane. This is Southwest, you know, open seating and everything. The first thing I remember is just waking up and security — it wasn’t police, it was security — saying, 'Mr. Hardy, you have to get off the plane. We feel you’ve had too much to drink.' Matt (Hardy) got up and was like, 'What’s the problem?' They were like, 'He’s had too much to drink.' I go, 'I was asleep. I’ll wake up in Raleigh. I’ve been like this before.' But I just cooperated and left the plane." To read the full interview with Hardy, check out Kevin Eck's blog at BaltimoreSun.com. Powell's POV: Hardy also explained that he contacted WWE about the incident, and noted that it makes him sick that anything negative about him pops up on the internet. Hardy also discussed his No Mercy match with Triple H, revealed a move that WWE officials told him was too dangerous, and recalls his favorite career moment. Highly recommended interview.
