Jim Ross comments on Jeff Hardy’s 60-day suspension for violating the WWE Wellness Policy
Mar 13, 2008 - 12:35 AM


Jim Ross updated the blog section of JRsbarbq.com and addressed Jeff Hardy’s suspension in detail.

“This is Jeff’s second strike and with one more he is out of the WWE, which would be a terrible waste of talent and opportunity,” Ross writes. “To say I am disappointed in these recent events would be an understatement and for those of us who have long believed in Jeff and have pulled for him throughout his career, these self inflicted wounds are especially distressing.

“For anyone to accurately predict what the future holds for Jeff is nothing more than speculation. Only Jeff can determine those answers but the one thing a talent can ill afford to lose is the company’s trust they work for. Obviously trust has to be an issue at this point in time between the WWE and Jeff Hardy.

"I can remembering sharing with Shawn Michaels many years ago during one of his darkest periods that I still believed in Shawn and, luckily for all involved, HBK made it back to the WWE a better man and is a bigger asset today for the WWE than he was in his prime. 

“Jeff is still a young man and can still be a big time player in the WWE if Jeff so chooses. Interesting days lie ahead for Jeff Hardy and I for one hope he is able to address his issues, take responsibility for his actions, and get back on the road to happiness and success.

“One thing I want to add here is that the wrestling business is challenging, at best, and by the general nature of the beast doesn’t feature too many 'easy days at the office.' If one is not having fun in the business, the end is inevitable and becomes not a matter of if but when.

"I would love to know if Jeff was having fun in the business or if it was burn out or simply other issues that caught up to him. I can relate with the pressures of the business weighing heavily on those who care and sometimes that weight can be perceived as insurmountable.”

Ross also commented on the friction between Floyd Mayweather’s posse and the WWE wrestlers on Monday night.

Powell's POV: Ross made a good point in bringing up Michaels. There was a time when no one, including Triple H, would have predicted that HBK would abandon his hard-living lifestyle. Hardy is young and he could definitely turn it around. It will take some time for him to regain Vince McMahon's trust, but HBK is proof that it can be done.
