At this point, it's obvious. Jeff is lucky that his reckless behavior hasn't hurt anyone. After making his career with a high-flying, daredevil style, he has put himself in danger many times outside the squared circle. It is more important for him to seek professional help for his antics than it is for him to perform in a wrestling ring.
The All Elite Wrestling signee was arrested in Florida on Monday on three charges. He's had three such offenses since the beginning of last year. The first blood- alcohol content reading was 0.294. Another drew a small amount of money. The legal driving limit in Florida is.08.
Tony Khan, president and CEO of AEW, announced Tuesday that Hardy was suspended without pay after he resumed contact with him more than a day after he was arrested. According to Khan, the promotion will help Hardy get treatment for substance abuse issues. He can only return to AEW if he completes the treatment and stays sober.
The video of his arrest was posted by a celebrity gossip website. Three officers from the Florida Highway Patrol pulled guns on Hardy as he exited his car. When he was questioned by police, he said he was in Florida to get a brain Scan. Why is he allowed to wrestle if he needs to get his brain looked at? He admitted to having multiple double shots of Fireball during the field test.
Matt Hardy, Jeff's tag team partner and real-life older brother, commented on the incident on the social networking site. It was disappointing to hear about my brother's death. I will do everything I can to help my brother be well. Being well is the most important thing for Jeff and his family at this time. Matt and Jeff first appeared for the company a few months ago after Jeff left the company.
The three-team ladder match for the company's tag titles will be played on this Wednesday's episode of Aew Dynamite. Jeff and Matt were going to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship and begin their title defense in a record fourth American promotion. Being The Elite, a popular AEW show on the internet, was put on hold after Jeff was arrested. The ladder match was part of the show.
He has a history with drugs and alcohol. He was arrested on drug charges in 2009, after a home search turned up a lot of drugs, including prescription drugs and steroids. In the last two years, he was arrested for public intoxication and driving under the influence. The main event of the Victory Road pay-per-view in March of last year was for the world title. The match was cut to 90 seconds after it was determined that he was too drunk to perform.
There is only one silver lining to Hardy's arrest, his willingness to get help before he harms himself. He has the ability to grow and be healthy. Drug and alcohol abuse was a problem in pro wrestling for a long time.
He is seen as a revolutionary in pro wrestling. The long-standing feud with Edge and Christian, as well as the Dudley Boyz, inspired so many of today's wrestlers to pursue a career in professional wrestling.

If his lifestyle is all about excess, he shouldn't wrestle again. He will be 45 in August and doesn't have the skills of the teenager who made his debut in 1994. If he ever comes back, he will most likely be gone from television for months to receive substance abuse treatment. Whatever the plans were for Matt and Jeff, they were put on layaway. Khan should not book him in high risk matches, like ladder matches and steel cages, even though he will be back. If he doesn't learn his lesson, he'll pay the price with his career or worse.
