Jeff Hardy remains one of the most respected and beloved pro wrestlers in the history of WWE. Since his return in 2017, he was one of the mainstays of the company and competed in various feuds. It seems Jim Cornette doesn’t want AEW to sign Jeff Hardy.

Unfortunately, he was recently released from WWE. To add to that, Jeff Hardy even turned down rehab prior to his firing. News of his release has truly shocked the pro wrestling world to its core and many people reacted to it.

While speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, Experience, Jim Cornette said it would be “ridiculous” for AEW to sign Jeff Hardy right now.

Everyone is thinking, “Ohh, now we are getting the Hardy Boyz reunion”. I know everyone really wants that to happen, and I am not saying it would be a bad thing, but right now it would be ridiculous. Tony Khan has to realize that short term it would be huge pop, but if you do not rectify the problem he just had before, is he going to have it in another place? It would be a lower-pressure environment, sometimes lower-pressure environments bring out bad habits. Or it would be a lower pressure he would be in, and these kinds of things will not happen, but the point is you have to think twice because you are just taking a chance.”

Jeff Hardy’s issues are well known by now and it is simply callous to even claim that Hardy would fake them just to get fired by WWE. We will have to wait and see what is next in store for Hardy.
