Jeff Hardy was arguably more over than John Cena in 2008-2009 in WWE but he blew it.
@whatssogoodaboutindy66962 ай бұрын
He was unarguably more over than Cena, because adults and kids liked Jeff.
@htownborn922 ай бұрын
Yes it had even got to the point where his fans were almost as annoying as Cena fans were around that time period. He completely messed up every bit of momentum he had built for himself at that point. Also had the feud of the year IMO with Punk that could’ve pushed both guys to even bigger heights at the time

He was over. WWE had plans to have him win the money in the bank at wm 24. But he messed it up. Then he was supposed to have a long reign during 09 punk feud.

I don't mean to bring my personal issues on here. Unfortunately I just had to put my Dog to sleep 30 minutes ago.. had him since he was a pup.. was in Middle School, and Jeff just got suspended in the Spring of '08 when I got him.. he was 17 Years today. Loved him like a brother. Wife was beyond emotional and My Son's first experience of loosing a loved one. I appreciate the vids you make and gonna listen to a bunch to distract myself this weekend. I'll always love that dog.

Jeff Hardy is the luckiest person in wrestling right now. He keeps screwing up and giving chance after chance. Despite being a 6-time World Champion (Former WWE Champion, 2-time World Heavyweight Champion and 3-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion), not to mention holding multiple World Tag Team Championships (WWE, WCW, TNA and Ring of Honor) with his brother Matt, his demons always get the best of him. After his flopped run in AEW, he looks like he’s back on track since returning to TNA Wrestling. I hope he keeps it up
