Jeff Hardy was recently interviewed by the Kingston Whig-Standard. Jeff spoke on a wide variety of topics from his career. This included the most painful bump of his career and more. Below are some of the highlights.
Jeff on what he still wants to accomplish in WWE before he retires:
“I definitely want to be in a Hell in the Cell match. That’s one match I’ve never been a part of. And definitely I want to be in a ‘Deletion’-style match, like Matt and Bray did the Ultimate Deletion on our property. Hopefully we’ll get to do another one, one of these days. I can bring Brother Nero back to life.”
“I would definitely, before I’m done, like to be the world champion. I think I’ve got what it takes. I’ve just got to stay healthy and avoid injury, that’s No. 1. And if I can do that, I think I’m good to go for a couple more title runs. Again, it’s like I said … belief and hope and faith.”
On the most painful bump of his carer:
“By far, it was me and RVD, I forget what year it was, but I had this idea I wanted to go through a table vertically, like long ways and I think it was a 14-foot ladder.
I did a swan dive off [the ladder] and he moved and I crashed and burned and the table exploded, and I knew, ‘OK, this is the one. I’m not gonna get up from this.’ I thought I had broken my lower spine. It hurt so bad and it knocked the wind out of me.”
On a related note, Jeff explained why he hasn’t been doing the Swanton Bomb as much. You can read more about that here.
