We were told earlier in the day that there was an issue with Jeff Hardy at the Nashville International Airport as he was heading home today from last night's Smackdown taping.

We are still triple sourcing the details because we want to be 100% correct before we go with this story. Watch the site for further updates.

If it is, then he'll most likely be released from his WWE contract. Keep in mind that he's already on his second of three strikes.

If it is, then he deserves to be released.

That'd be a pretty stupid move to make on Jeff's part, especially considering that WWE seems to really want to make him into a solid main eventer.

I am going to say its not drugs I just really don't think after everything he has been through this year he would get caught with drugs again. I really hope not I mean if he was let go I am sure TNA would take him back in a second but be that as it may WWE and Vince have given him nothing but chances and he has all the makings to be a world champ some day I mean if Matt can he could too so I have fingers crossed this will not be a drug related issue.

-- According to an eyewitness, Jeff Hardy was involved in an incident yesterday morning at the Nashville International Aiport in which he was removed from a flight heading to North Carolina. Hardy, who was traveling with his brother Matt and Gregory Helms, was taken off the flight flanked by several officers.

The eyewitness claims Hardy wasn't in hand cuffs, but was clearly being escorted. Once they got him off the plane he was allowed to make a call before they took him away.

There are conflicting stories floating around among the WWE performers following the incident. As of now there is no confirmed reason why Hardy was removed from the flight.


So obviously it wasn't due to drugs... at least carrying drugs... Wonder what it was though. Maybe it was like the whole Anger Management "I'M NOT ANGRY!!!" type thing. :lol:

According to an eyewitness, there was an incident shortly before 11 AM Wednesday morning at the Nashville International Airport involving WWE star Jeff Hardy, who was removed from his flight heading to North Carolina. Hardy, who was traveling with Gregory Helms and his brother Matt, was taken off his flight flanked by several police officers.

"Hardy wasn't in handcuffs, but he was clearly being 'escorted', said an eyewitness who asked not to be identified. "They weren't touching him though, but they had him flanked. He was wearing the same clothes he left the building in Tuesday night. Once they got him off the plane they allowed him to use his phone, before leading him away."

There were conflicting stories floating around among WWE performers following Wednesday's incident. At this point we are still looking to confirm exactly what the reason was that Hardy was removed from the plane and we don't want to speculate any further beyond that.

We can confirm Hardy was removed from his scheduled flight after boarding the plane and that the story had made its way around Titan Tower, where there was concern about his standing with the company. The story was a big topic of conversation among WWE's workers yesterday as well.

Calls made on Wednesday to the Nashville International Airport's Investigations department by PWInsider.com were not returned.

WWE comments, but says nothing:

Quote:
 
In regard to the Jeff Hardy incident yesterday at the Nashville International Airport, The UK Sun noted a World Wrestling Entertainment spokesperson told the British outlet, "WWE has been informed of an alleged incident involving Jeff Hardy. We are currently investigating the situation and will take appropriate actions if needed.”


Also...

Quote:
 
Nashville International Airport spokesperson Emily Richard told Prowrestling.net on Wednesday night that she was not aware of an incident involving Hardy. She called back this morning and stated that no report pertaining to Hardy had been filed with the airport. Attempts to reach Jeff Hardy for comment were unsuccessful.


So....

WWE Wrestler Jeff Hardy was denied boarding a Southwest Airline flight to North Carolina – and no one got body slammed.

Hardy appeared intoxicated at Nashville International Airport's Southwest gate on Wednesday, according to Southwest spokesman Chris Mainz.

A Southwest employee reported it and Hardy was told he couldn’t board the flight, Mainz says.

Hardy was not arrested instead the wrestler was offered to take a later flight.

“He was very cooperative and there was no altercation,” Mainz says. “There was no need to get police.”

Hardy declined Southwest’s offer and made other arrangements, Mainz says.

The 6-1, 225-pound Cameron, N.C., native was part of the WWE SmackDown show at the Sommet Center on Tuesday night.

Hardy is a top contender and a WWE draw.

It is, it's just not an illegal drug which is what I think meaning people are trying to say. But, still, public intoxication surely isn't something good. :-/

According to WWE's alcohol policy, it appears as if Jeff Hardy is indeed clear of any punishment people may have speculated he could/should receive. I have read a few posts on other websites presumptuously deciding that Hardy should be punished for "appearing" to be intoxicated and was subsequently setting a bad example to other wrestlers by sending the message that this type of behavior is allowed. Those condemnations are absurd to me as there was never any proof that he was in fact drunk, and if you read WWE's alcohol policy, he was in fact doing nothing against company regulations.

Here's WWE's official policy on alcohol abuse:

The use and/or abuse of alcohol in such a fashion so as to impair the ability to perform is prohibited by this Policy. Talent are expected to be free of the influence of alcohol when performing for WWE. Accordingly, the use of alcohol at any time twelve hours prior to any scheduled performance is prohibited by this Policy.

1. Testing for alcohol use or abuse in violation of this Policy shall be for reasonable cause only as defined in Section 7A.

2. The initial positive test for use and/or abuse of alcohol in violation of this Policy will be treated as a medical issue requiring evaluation for alcohol rehabilitation treatment. All subsequent positive tests for alcohol-related violations of this Policy shall be treated as disciplinary matters in accordance with this Policy.

Keep in mind that alcohol abuse and use are two very different things.

The word making the rounds is that WWE considers Jeff Hardy’s airport incident on Wednesday a non-issue, and will not take any kind of action. For those who missed earlier reports, Hardy was removed from a flight for appearing intoxicated. He was offered a later departure time by the airline, but decided to make arrangements of his own for his flight home.

Unofficially, there is definitely a feeling among wrestlers that this means WWE realizes, once again, that they can only push Hardy so far if they don’t want it to blow up in their faces.

Just another example as to why he's an idiot. He can drink, do whatever, just not in public, where hundreds of people can see you. Especially with his record, the last thing you want is to be caught outside intoxicated. At least Paris Hilton covers it up by acting like a ditz even when she's not drunk, but you can't be drunk going onto a plane.

Hey maybe I'm a fool, but would you mind explaining why he's an idiot? I mean, who did he affect? What were the drawbacks? Is the WWE really going to lose any money as a result of a wrestler who appeared drunk?

Bad publicity implies that people will be looking down on the WWE for this.

I very, very much doubt that outside a few fringe "straight-edge" conservative hacks, that anyone will give a shit about Hardy's drunkeness. And in any case, if TMZ is talking about it then it's gonna give the WWE a lot of exposure.

I'm not saying that the WWE should send people out drunk on purpose but it's hardly worth any punishment nor him being called an idiot.

The thing with Hardy is minor, really. If he beat the shit out of somebody while drunk, then it would really be a problem.

Really simple: Fired once because of drugs. A few years later, comes back, gets pushed, gets suspended because of drugs. Gets pushed a year later, gets kicked off a plane because of being drunk in public. I can care less if he drinks, but when you have two strikes against you, the last thing you want is to put attention towards you when you're not in the right state of mind. He of all people should understand that, but apparently not. Go drink in a bar, go back to the hotel, drink out of your local river in aluminum cups, but don't drink right before you have to board a plane, where you're going to be near a couple hundred people for a couple of hours, some who may know who you are, and will likely report "oh, yeah, I saw Jeff Hardy messed up on a plane" to all the wrestling sites. Being kicked off the plane before that shot is probably better, since it didn't get to the point where anyone could report that before knowing the facts.

The WWE Wellness Policy is there because drugs are illegal. Alcohol is not illegal. The reason why Hardy was reprimanded earlier was not because he was appearing in a bad manner in public (if he was even in public at all, was he?, but because he took an illegal substance. That's it.

Oh yeah Edge had an affair and Triple H constantly receives bad press from the wrestling media. They're both on their last warning!
