Welcome to another Joe's 411: B/R Pro-Wrestling News. I have made this an every other day article. Therefore, there will be a ton of news because of that. As you know, I do not like to keep people waiting. So lets get started.
Hardy's contract
Jeff Hardy's contract story has been getting more and more suspicious by the day. People close to Hardy have said he is going to sign back with the WWE. However, word coming from the Hardy camp now is that he will be taking time off and not resigning.
He has been getting praise because he has asked to be gradually taken off TV and storylines. That way he can go out on an injury or something storyline wise. And since it is storylined, we would understand why we are not seeing him on TV.
His contract expires soon, in about another month or so. Meaning he will be gone from the WWE then if he doesn't resign. Since he has worked with the WWE so very well, and is doing things the right way; People are sure the WWE will take him back when he is ready to come back.
He has mentioned that if he leaves, he WILL resign with the WWE after taking time off. And people who have cooperated with the WWE when they left and have come back, received great pushed by the WWE.
Take Chris Jericho and The Big Show for example. Jericho has won about 3 titles since coming back, and two of those have been World Heavyweight Titles.
Show has been getting in main event matches, he even wrestled in the World Heavyweight Championship match at Wrestlemania. He lost of course, but he was in it. Also he will be starring in a new WWE Films project called Suckerpunch. Which will start filming in a few months or so.
But since Hardy has so many interests right now, he wants to take off for them. Also there is a possibility he could have his own reality show soon on MTV. Which would be good for him, because that would keep him in the spotlight. So his return would be hyped big time.
He does need time off big time. As he has wrestled every week since June of last year. And while that may not be so bad for most, think of the way Hardy wrestles compared to others.
It is different for a guy like Batista compared to Hardy. Because Batista does not hurt himself with moves he does usually. So although Batista did not get much time off until his injury, he was not nearly in as bad of shape as Hardy.
So I can understand why he wants to take some significant time off for himself.
But if he does indeed leave, do not worry Hardy fans. For he will be back. Since he is the top face on SmackDown, he had to be in the World Heavyweight Championship match at Judgement Day.
But, they are going to push more faces to help build SmackDown up. Vince does not like Rey Mysterio as a top face, so with that said, the WWE will be pushing CM Punk and John Morrison.
