-- Former multi-time tag team champion Jeff Hardy appeared on Busted Open Radio this week and discussed a variety of topics, including his somewhat failed stint in AEW that was marred with legal issues. Hardy mentioned that he feels a significant amount of "guilt and shame" over breaking the trust of several people who were rallying behind him, including his brother Matt. The Hardys were initially penciled in to win the AEW tag team titles in 2022 but after Jeff's DUI arrest, the plans changed and the Hardys ultimately never won the AEW titles before leaving the company. Jeff shared that his goal now is to win the TNA tag team titles and to not break the promotion's trust in him.
"Definitely to win the TNA Tag Team titles. Basically because I have so much guilt and shame within me still, just from AEW giving me an opportunity, and even Matt, to me breaking trust with my personal issues in real life. And so, I just want to make that up to Matt. And I can say right here that I will not break TNA’s trust. That is in my past, and it feels good to have somewhat of a clean slate with all that stuff and kind of start fresh instead of having that guilt and shame about what I did in a certain world of pro wrestling."
"So many things have happened since my last run-in with the law that have been really beautiful. It’s like an enlightenment connection I have with everything around me, mainly nature. The force of nature is a huge drive with my internal love."
