Moderator: Welcome one and all to the latest installment of The Wrestling Council. This is a huge day, folks.
The tenth edition of the Hall of Justice will be its final. Yes, the hall will be closing its doors after today, but we thank you for being with us from Day One.
For the monumental day it is only fitting that we have the biggest panel to date. We are joined by six men who have agreed to share their thoughts on four topics for your viewing pleasure.
Allow me to introduce five men who have all stepped within the hall before: AkD , Sulayman , Adam Testa , Scott Beeby , and Justin Thomas . And making his debut, Svyato Rovenchuk .
1) Jeff Hardy: Is it a lock that he will return to the WWE if the court proceedings work to his benefit? Why or why not?
Svyato: Yes, I do think if it works to his favour that Jeff Hardy will return to the World Wrestling Entertainment. The man is too big of an attraction for the WWE to get rid of him. If you look in the crowd you see so many kids wearing those Jeff Hardy wristbands.
Plus, you have the Hardy shirts as well. Let's not forget the Hardy necklace. I think Jeff Hardy is too big of a merchandise seller for them to let go of him just like that.
Matt Hardy is a good wrestler no doubt, but he just doesn't bring in what Jeff does. Plus, you have to have that bit of extremeness in every show.
Jeff Hardy, the daredevil, spices up the shows with his Swanton Bombs, his Whispers in the Wind, and the rest of his high-flying stuff. That is one of the things that makes him so damn popular.
So bottomline: yes, Jeff will be back; yes, he will re-join the main event; yes, Shane will hate it.
Justin: If everything works out, there's no reason Jeff wouldn't return. Jeff, as well as his brother and close friends, are adamant that the situation will work out in his favor. He has made it clear he does not believe he will be receiving any jail time.
Jeff is still relevant in the WWE. He still sells more merchandise than DX and Cena. The mere mention of his name is met with cheers while CM Punk is consistently getting booed and jeered.
Jeff knows how popular he is, and how successful he can be, so I fully expect Jeff to be back in the WWE by the end of next year.
Adam : Even if Jeff Hardy finds himself cleared of all charges in court, it remains to be seen if he would be welcomed back to World Wrestling Entertainment.
On the one hand, Hardy has become a walking public relations nightmare, crying out for negative media attention because of past problems and unlawful transgressions.
On the other hand, the company has failed to demonstrate a long-term punishment for other top-tier individuals who have violated the company's wellness policy and spat in the faces of their loyal fan bases.
Look no further than Rey Mysterio 's tag title shot and upcoming world title competition as an example.
More than likely, Hardy will not be welcomed back to the company, and it would be a rightful decision on behalf of WWE and its chairman and president Vince McMahon.
Hardy represents too big of a liability to be given a warm welcome back into a company trying to promote itself as a family-friendly and kid-friendly product.
