    I remember being in High School in 2009 and hoping that I could convince my mom to order the PPV of WWE Armageddon 2009 because I really wanted to watch the Triple Threat match between Edge vs Triple H vs Jeff Hardy for the WWE Championship.
    the fact that I couldn't was heart breaking, but finding out the next day in school was probably the highlight of my day when a friend showed me a newspaper clipping of the results of the show cause I also couldn't wait to watch that week's episode of Smackdown! So I humbly appreciate FPJ for that storyline! 😄

    Dude, Freddie made a bajillion Jeff Hardy fans' dreams come true, myself included. Sure, Jeff kinda did himself in. But , we had our moment. Jeff , horrible mic skills and all, got to flip the bird to everyone. Prime Jeff Hardy was one of the toughest, most beautiful workers in wrestling. You could never call him ' the best wrestler', because he was so outside of the box that he was his own category. And that's not harping on him. RVD was very similar in that we'd never seen anything like it. Purists hated them, underdogs LOVED them. I still root for Jeff as a person, and wish I could slap him around to knock some sense into him. We coulda had so much more. Hell, we still might. But the clock is ticking, and if he never figures that out, we can still say we got to see our hero as Champion of the World.
    If Jeff or anyone he knows ever sees this: I'd rather see Jeff in a Hall of Fame Speech than a fk'n Dark Side of the Ring episode. That is not hyperbole, and please don't dismiss it as such. Thank you Jeff, and thank you Freddie.
