Rumor Mill - TNA World Champion Jeff Hardy Allowed to Wrestle Impaired, Drug Use An "Open Secret" Backstage
Bill Behrens who coordinates independent bookings for several TNA stars including Shannon Moore recently noted on his podcast that TNA Wrestling has allowed Jeff Hardy to wrestle impaired on television in the past and it is an "open secret" that the World Champion is still using drugs. This information comes a week after Hardy was described as 'unfit to perform' going into the Final Resolution pay-per-view. TNA managements reportedly held crisis talks 20 minutes prior to the PPV going on air which would have had Hardy stripped of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, however the decision was made to allow him to wrestle and defeat Matt Morgan to retain the title.
Behrens discussed Hardy's chairshot to the back of Ken Anderson's head in October which left him with a severe concussion and wound. He said that Anderson is in a great position to sue the organization since he could claim Hardy was unfit to compete when he issued the negligent chairshot. TNA has since hastily banned unprotected chair shots to the head.
