We receive a ton of emails from fans about the status of Matt and Jeff Hardy, who have both been off TNA television for several months now. This week Dave Meltzer reported that the reason TNA has yet to bring the Hardys back is because the company wanted both of them to enter rehab treatment – and they refused.
The Meltzer report led many Hardy fans to ask Matt and Jeff on Twitter what the real story is.
Matt Hardy responded to the reports on Wednesday night, tweeting:
“Not the case..at all.”
Hardy also noted that his own wrestling school is in the works.
Matt Hardy was reportedly suspended by TNA back in June after showing up late several times to live TNA events. He tweeted last week that he currently has everything “on hold” and is not yet taking independent bookings.
As for Jeff, he is still making court appearances related to his September 2009 arrest, after police raided his home in Cameron, North Carolina and uncovered a jackpot stash of drugs – including 262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 Soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder cocaine and items of drug paraphernalia.
Jeff has been charged with felony trafficking in opium, two counts of felony possession with intent to sell or deliver a Schedule III controlled substance, felony maintaining a dwelling to keep controlled substance, felony possession of cocaine and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
If convicted of all charges (which is unlikely), Jeff Hardy faces upto 14 years in prison.
