Jeff Hardy is making all the headlines following his WWE release. His WWE release has been the primary topic of discussion among wrestling fans all around the world. People are praying for Jeff to get well soon and return to action inside the squared circle. WWE legend, Ric Flair, also talked about Jeff’s exit from WWE recently.

The WWE Hall of Famer even admitted that he also denied going to the rehab for a second time. During an episode of the Ric Flair Wooooo Nation Uncensored Podcast, Mark Madden talked about Jeff Hardy getting released after declining WWE’s offer for rehab.

Madden admitted he wants

Jeff to find his way back more personally than professionally because he feels Jeff has enough money to live the rest of his life and his reputation can never be sold. According to him, he is one of the best performers of his generation.
In reply to this, Ric Flair said, “Well, you know how I feel, I couldn’t agree more. I love Jeff, I love his wife Beth and above all else they got a great relationship. You know I’ve been there and done that. I went there one time, and they told me like to go back again, I said ‘No’.” Flair feels it did not make any difference for him.

Madden mentioned Jeff returning to action, but after taking care of himself first. In reply, Flair added, “He will. It comes and goes.” Soon after this, Ric talked about why WWE released Jeff Hardy.
