Disappointment is the Word of the Day

Hello there.

Not a very good day for wrestling at all.

The latest person to be suspended as per WWE's Wellness Policy is Jeff Hardy. That's terrible news for wrestling fans, especially around Wrestlemania time. Not only are we robbed of more than a few great "Wrestlemania Moments" that Jeff definitely would have provided us with but we are robbed of a tremendous superstar who we were all getting behind and was seemingly unstoppable.

Worse yet - there's no one to blame but Jeff Hardy.

To say I'm disappointed in Jeff Hardy is an understatement. Here's a guy who has everything going for him. He's an inspiration to a lot of fans, especially the younger ones, and he can't keep himself clean. It's really a shame.

This isn't the first time for Jeff though, as I'm sure you all know. He was hit with his first violation before Summerslam 2007, before they started releasing the names to the public so it was all speculation at the time.

It's kind of ironic, isn't it? The Intercontinental Championship reign that ended last night on RAW began right when he came back from his first suspension and he won it because Umaga was leaving on suspension!

Still, this is really a shame after all Jeff has accomplished. He was gaining SO much momentum and he was really building up his career to be a big time Main Event player. It's a real slap in the face to the fans of WWE and the talent and management of WWE who worked so hard to get him over.

Sixty days is a long time for wrestling fans. Will he be as over as he was when he left? Wrestling fans have notoriously short memories so that may be a problem. Another question is will the office push him as hard as they did before? Mind you, he has two violations. A third strike means you're out. Mandatory release. If I were WWE I'd feel insecure about pushing a guy who could blow it all again and you have to release him.

Hopefully while he's gone Jeff will complete some sort of rehab. I believe in second chances and that's it but wrestling, especially WWE, is known for giving tons of chances. Hopefully Jeff Hardy won't spit in their face, and more importantly ours, again.

Drugs are bad. You heard it here first.

Until next time, wrestling fans.
