TNA star Sting was recently interviewed by Fighting Spirit Magazine and spoke about Jeff Hardy’s recent issues and their infamous match at TNA Victory Road back in March.
Sting defeated Jeff Hardy in an impromptu squash match after it was deemed Jeff Hardy was too stoned to safely wrestle – and says the “ripple effect” of Hardy’s actions were “gigantic.”
Sting knew hours before their match that Jeff Hardy was going to be a handful that day. “I knew there was trouble a couple of hours before the match and it seemed to get worse as the night progressed.
“I had high hopes that by some miracle it would pan out — and we would be able to actually have a match — because we had something pretty good worked out.
“It didn’t happen that way. It just deteriorated, it got to the point that what happened, had to happen.”
Sting has faith that Jeff Hardy can turn his life around once he gets out of jail.
“My heart goes out to Jeff and I’m glad that he’s on the trail back. He seems to be great. I’ve talked to him a couple of times, he seems really, really good and he is remorseful. But he understands that his words mean nothing at this point — time is going to be the only thing.”
“He’s going to have to build the bridge of trust back one brick at a time — and he knows it. He’s an incredible, unbelievably talented wrestler. He’s creative, innovative and he’s got so much going for him. If he can keep his head on straight, I know there’s a lot of good years in front of him and he’ll be a benefit to this company.”
– TNA sources have informed us that Hulk Hogan has signed a new deal with TNA Wrestling. Hogan and Eric Bischoff’s contracts were scheduled to expire next Monday, a week before Bound For Glory. It’s expected that Bischoff also signed a new deal as well.

Busted Open Interview: Reby Sky
Hosts: Doug Mortman and Dave Lagreca
Busted Open can be heard Monday, Wednesday and Friday on Sirius 94 XM 208
Reby on Matt Hardy’s online videos: “Before he posts every video I give him a talk, and I don’t want to feel like his mother or babysitter or council, but I say Matt maybe this isn’t a good idea. I tell him what I think about it, why I think that way, and he will either take it and say “okay, maybe not” or he will put it up anyway. He’s going to do what he’s going to do. He’s a very strong personality, and obviously that has gotten him to where he’s at now, that’s part of it. He does have a good formula, he takes it a little too far sometimes and gets a little caught up in the attention, but I think now he’s going to be a little smarter about what he posts.”
Reby on the rumors that she led police to Matt’s drugs: It’s just so frustrating, because they just released something that was completely not what I said. It’s pretty clear that Matt’s been needing help, and the other day he was in a bad way and I called for help. Cops came, and all these reports are saying that I led them to some secret cave that contained prescription pills. They never found any prescription pills at all in the house, what they found was steroids. After having to go to the police station to sign all these papers, I come back to my house upside down, there is five men in my kitchen and I am being interrogated. Everything that they needed to find was already found. So it is just a whole bunch of hate mail: Reby you snitch, you’re a rat. At the end of the day I just wanted Matt to get help, I called for Matt to get help, and guess what? He left this morning for WWE sponsored rehab. He is getting help.”
Reby on the Jeff Hardy taser incident: “I have to laugh, because I guess just being in it, it was done for a project called The Hardy Show, which you can find at thehardyshow.com. It’s a variety show with skits, and parodies and stuff like that, it’s kind of like a Jackass program. That was filmed for part of a Hardy show episode. And I guess with all the Jeff stuff that was going on at the time, and the way it was spun, it was in retrospect maybe not the best idea for people who aren’t aware of The Hardy Show and the content that is on there. But like I said, from now on everyone is going to be a lot more careful with anything video wise or Twitter or anything going up on the net.”
Reby on Matt Hardy returning to the ring: A full time wrestling schedule is definitely not in the picture from now on. If you ask him, that’s what he will say led to this whole thing, the full time wrestling schedule and the toll on his body and the sacrifices he had to make. Not that I am justifying anything he has done, because I am definitely not. I will say it over and over I don’t support what he has done but I will support him in bettering himself.”
Reby on Jeff’s return to the ring: “The whole thing with Jeff, we try not to talk about it to not make Matt feel bad, but everyone is very supportive of Jeff and very happy for him. It’s good that there is someone in the group doing good things, I don’t know how to say it. Jeff is completely 180, just a real standup guy and has been so supportive in trying to help Matt in getting things right. So thank God that he is right next to us, thank God for Jeff.”
Matt Hardy posted the following video to Youtube this week – looking at his brother Jeff’s latest art project. The video caption reads, “Go deep inside Jeff Hardy’s mind, abilities, and artwork”
— Air Extreme Wrestling has announced that they are in discussions with Jeff and Matt Hardy to appear for the promotion’s upcoming tour of Mexico.

North Carolina’s FayObserver.com has picked up the story of Jeff Hardy pleading guilty to three drug felonies earlier today and has provided new details regarding Hardy’s 2009 arrest.
Assistant District Attorney Warren McSweeney said police raided Jeff Hardy’s home on 9/11/09 after employees at a Fayetteville FedEx distribution center called police about a suspicious package. The package was addressed to Hardy from a fan in Florida. It contained a Maxwell House coffee can filled with 262 prescription hydrocodone pain killers.
Police resealed the package and had the pills delivered to Hardy’s home. When Hardy accepted the package, Moore County sheriff’s deputies raided the house and found other drugs as well.
Hardy’s lawyer, James Van Camp said today that Hardy got involved with the pills “to cope with the pain and damage to his body that he endured as a professional wrestler.”
As previously reported, Hardy is currently participating in a drug abuse treatment program.
TNA star Jeff Hardy was back in a Moore County, North Carolina courtroom on Thursday and pleaded guilty to three felony drug charges stemming from his September 2009 arrest. He will serve 10 days in jail, have to pay fine of $100,000 and will be on probation for 30 months. In the event that Hardy violates his probation, he can be sent back to jail.
Hardy pleaded guilty to three drug felonies: two counts of Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance and one count of Conspiracy to Traffic in a Compound Containing Opium.
Here are a few new details from today’s court proceedings:
* In exchange for pleading guilty, the other counts against Jeff Hardy were dropped.
* Hardy has agreed to remain in a drug abuse treatment program.
* Jeff was granted a request to travel outside of North Carolina so he can work for TNA.
Jeff Hardy returns to TNA television tonight on Impact Wrestling.
TNA star Jeff Hardy is due back in Moore County, North Carolina’s Superior Court this afternoon at (2pm EST) regarding the ongoing criminal case against him stemming from his September 2009 arrest.
The most recent delay in Hardy’s case was so he could be evaluated to determine whether he is a drug addict requiring treatment.
Despite Hardy’s ongoing legal situation and various reports that he refused to enter rehab at TNA’s request, he’s returning to TNA Wrestling tonight on Impact.
