10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (16 Oct)

9. Jeff Hardy Has Long Been Frustrated By TNA

Recently, rumours have sparked up online that Jeff Hardy could be about to trade TNA for WWE once his contract runs out with Dixie Carter's promotion. Hardy is one of the better-paid stars on the Impact Wrestling roster, but his appearances rarely make a difference to TV ratings. The TNA brand is unarguably tarnished, and many feel the company are on borrowed time. Nonetheless, Jeff remains loyal the the promotion. Speaking during a recent interview to promote the group's upcoming UK tour in January, 2016, the high-flyer couldn't hide his frustration over how low an opinion the wrestling community at large has of TNA. Citing Drew Galloway and ECIII as amongst the most exciting talent in the world, Hardy said he was confused why the company isn't bigger. According to the man himself, this has been a source of frustration for years. In Jeff Hardy's mind, TNA has the talent, tools and resources to be a larger entity, but it still remains a laughing stock for a lot of people. It's fascinating to imagine that Hardy has been thinking this for years now, and proves people within the company are aware of the downward trend.
