| Chat with Jeff Hardy. Talks Injury, TNA & More | |
| By: ChrissiCalvert Date: October 15, 2015, 4:34 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| A debut turn as a guest referee in the main event of TNA�s Bound | |
| For Glory was as much as he's had in a ring since a bike | |
| accident in May left him with leg injuries. | |
| Today, he speaks exclusively to FT about the impact the serious | |
| accident had, and the ramifications for his future career. | |
| The former World Champion says that his initial injury, a break | |
| in his tibia, was surgically repaired, but there was more bad | |
| news to come. | |
| He tells me: �I have a torn PCL [posterior cruciate ligament] in | |
| my right knee and it�s been torn ever since I broke my tibia. | |
| �They put a rod in my tibia, so after all the swelling went down | |
| I knew something was wrong with my knee. | |
| �I finally went to the doctor, and I had an MRI, and found out | |
| it was a torn PCL. | |
| �I just started physical therapy last week, it�s been really | |
| tough. Hopefully that is going to work and I can avoid surgery. | |
| Fingers crossed.� | |
| There is no timeframe for a return, Jeff says, but he is working | |
| as hard as he possibly can to get back to doing what he loves, | |
| and what fans the world over love to see. | |
| There has been some speculation that Jeff might be tempted to | |
| head back to WWE, but it sounds as though he is facing the most | |
| serious injury of his life. And his recovery is what he is | |
| concentrating on first and foremost. | |
| He says: �My number one right now is getting better. I�m kind of | |
| afraid, because my knee is so unstable. It�s freaking me out a | |
| little, I�m not gonna lie. | |
| �Right now I�m mostly concerned about getting better. This is | |
| the first serious injury I�ve had in my entire life. This is | |
| very new for me. I realise how much I love wrestling now, | |
| because I miss it so bad. The 38-year-old continues, | |
| �Just being at the shows and watching the guys go out there and | |
| go hard and have great matches, it just makes me feel kinda, I | |
| want to say, weak. | |
| �I know what it�s like, because I�ve had so many friends who | |
| have dealt with surgical issues and have been out for long | |
| periods of time. | |
| �Now I�m in that boat, I just want to get better, and continue | |
| to help TNA improve.� | |
| Jeff�s style is one of the cornerstones of his �Enigmatic | |
| Charisma� persona, and he concedes that the injury might mean | |
| that he has to amend his high-flying moves in the ring. | |
| He tells me: �I think a lot of it is psychological. The thing | |
| is, my style, I�m the kinda guy who if I feel I can�t wrestle | |
| the style that I always have, then I�m not going to want to | |
| wrestle at all. | |
| �Then there�a a part of me that thinks, �Jeff, you can still be | |
| great and modify your style�. I think that�s what my future is | |
| going to be like, maybe not as insane!� | |
| Another frustrating year has passed for TNA, with tribulations | |
| over US television contracts and another period of stagnation, | |
| despite some very good wrestling on occasion in the ring. | |
| Jeff admits it has been hard for all concerned, and does not | |
| understand why more people are not invested in the product. | |
| Jeff argues that TNA will continue to fight hard for success, | |
| concluding: �I just don�t understand it and I never will because | |
| I�ve watched so many TNA shows that are just great. | |
| �Drew Galloway is awesome. I love watching him wrestle, and cut | |
| promos. | |
| �EC3 is right there, he is the top dog. | |
| �Yeah, it�s frustrating to wonder why, and understand why it has | |
| not taken off like it rightfully should have.� | |
