Push it back, Shove it back, Waaaaay back!

According to well-placed sources at tnawrestlingnews.com, Jeff Hardy's court date has once again been delayed. A few days ago, he appeared in the Moore County courthouse with his lawyer and was once again able to delay his trial, this time to June 3. And I, for one, hope it gets delayed one more time -- I'm more than likely going to a TNA house show on June 5, and I want to see Jeff Hardy, dammit!

I mean, really. Intent to sell? The guy's made some huge bank with WWE, why in the world would he have any reason to sell drugs? It does not make sense! In fact, here's how I imagine the trial going down in my head:

Awesome Jeff Hardy Lawyer: Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

Asshole State Prosecutor: Damn it!... He's using the Chewbacca defense!

Awesome Jeff Hardy Lawyer: Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a world renowned Professional Wrestling superstar, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

And then the Judge lets him off. Cause, I mean, really. IT DOES NOT. MAKE. SENSE.

Jeff Hardy might be shooting himself in the...mouth

Modest. At the top.


Jeff Hardy and his defense team requested a continuation the other day, when his trial was supposed to start, and it was granted. His new court date is May 10. And how does he celebrate? Dixie, take it away...



Now if I'm on trial for drug possession/trafficking, do I really request a continuance only to turn around and hit the road to partake in a profession known for its raucous backstage drug use? As much as I want to believe in his innocence (and the partiality of his judge/jury), unfortunately, I think he's just delaying the inevitable.

Heaven's Demons debut on Impact!

Just a quick note -- as tweeted by Beth, Jeff's girlfriend, about an hour ago:

"Ok, just got the green light to post this. If ur a Jeff Hardy & Shannon Moore fan, watch TNA on SpikeTV at 9pm. It's gonna be good!"

I think I just squealed. :D

Hogan Wants RVD

It's no SWIIF but it'll do.


Hulk Hogan called into RVD Radio last night to kiss Rob's ass and pretty much tell him "we need you in TNA." Hogan told him this would be the best time for him to join, as he and his wife are both healthy and he's not burnt out on wrestling (and Hogan would know this how?). RVD said he was interested, and mentioned possibly bringing Sabu in with him. They also discussed Jeff Hardy, with whom Hogan said he was on the phone earlier in the day. Hogan said that he and Hardy have a crazy idea that he "guarantees" will work. Then the two had a good time poking some fun at the 6-sided ring, amongst other things. And Lord only knows what else they talked about once the show went off the air.

I'll admit, I'd mark for an RVD return. But how much longer can we keep on dredging up the old guard before there's not even any room for the new guys anymore?

Besides... Hogan? C'mon, Rob. We had Matt Bentley on our show. It's time to raise your bar, RVD. I thought you were serious about this podcasting thing.

Jeff and Shannon Teaming in TNA?

These tattooed karaokeing freaks might have a team name in TNA. Jeff Hardy reportedly tweeted the following within the last couple days (though it seems to have been taken down since then): "HeavensDemons...airhedge&itchweeed ready to hitTNA with some shockfactor..you dig thy name...HeavensDemons?"

Heaven's Demons. Eh, it's better than Imagi-Punks, right?

WWE Really Wanted Hardy

The word "begged" is being used in relation to WWE asking Jeff Hardy to return. WWE was reportedly aware that Jeff Hardy was set to return to TNA - and the all powerful "sources" say that WWE Personnel were in "constant" contact with Jeff on Monday, January 4th, trying to get him to change his mind and return to WWE.

A move they made just hours after Hardy had been indicted on that ummm... *cough* minor, drug charge. WWE's apparent interest in overlooking the PR backlash of bringing Hardy back is being taken by some as an indication that the company is not totally writing TNA off as irrelevant. If the company believed Hardy working for TNA posed absolutely no threat, its willingness to subject the company and Linda McMahon's political campaign to media heat would simply not have existed.

The real news though...

TNA Just Got Punk'd

The Charismatic Enabler

Just 24 hours after a surprising return to the TNA ring, Jeff Hardy was officially indicted on drug possession charges stemming from his September 2009 arrest. Prosecutors were able to produce enough evidence to move forward with the charges, and Hardy's case will be on the Superior Court docket some time next week.

This certainly explains why the return of a former multiple time World Champion who was the WWE's most popular face ended up on the opening bout of TNA iMPACT! in a brief stint with someone as forgettable as Homicide. There's no chance for no-showing a TNA Pay Per View when you're behind bars for a few years, eh Jeff?
