Wrestling veteran Jeff Hardy recently attained an opportunity to turn his life around. His issues with his personal demons have been well-documented in the past. The former WWE star escaped jail time in the latest of his run-ins with the law. His heroics in the squared circle are well known, but so too is his propensity for addiction.
Nevertheless, Hardy’s fans hope that he can leave all these setbacks behind, once and for all. And his brother Matt Hardy recently discussed how junior Hardy’s issues can be an eye-opener for him.

One-half of the acclaimed Hardy Boyz team recently discussed the Charismatic Enigma on his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast. He said, “I I think his motivations for living and being are going to seem very different to you in so many ways. I think you are going to see someone who like wants to get back and make a difference and help”.
The ‘Woken’ AEW star has always been supportive of his brother. And his latest remarks about Hardy show a great level of optimism he possesses about his brother. The duo has been among one of the most iconic tag teams in the business. And away from the ring as well, they seem to be have each other’s back.
Certainly Hardy can learn from his past mistakes. And ensure that this is not a false dawn as before. ‘Brother Nero’ has appeared to emerge from the dark clouds previously also, only to get dragged back to oblivion. The cops arrested him last year for a DUI offense. Hardy pleaded no contest to all the charges against him. Which led to a variety of fines and restrictions for him. But as mentioned before, he would not be doing any time in prison.
Hardy is one of the finest examples of what could have been. Undoubtedly, he has had success in the tag team division and had stellar runs in single competitions as well. But the former WWE champion’s career leaves a lot to be desired.
Jeff Hardy failed to reach his true potential
The wrestler derailed his budding career in the 2000s due to a failed drug test. As a result, Hardy departed from the WWE for the first time in 2003. A stint in TNA led to a subsequent return to the Stamford-based promotion in 2006. The Charismatic Enigma received an enormous push during this time. He battled some of the top names in the business, such as Triple H and Edge. However, his substance abuse problems again led to his removal from the promotion.
