Jeff Hardy Removed From Airplane By Police

[Stratusfaction]

Mike Johnson is reporting that Jeff Hardy was removed from his flight in Nashville, Tennessee at approximately 11:00 AM yesterday morning. According to Johnson, Hardy was removed from the flight by police officers, wearing the same clothes that he had on at Tuesday night's television taping in the city. Hardy was traveling with his brother Matt and their good friend Gregory Helms back to North Carolina. The reason for Hardy's removal from the aircraft is still not known. An eyewitness told the PWInsider website that Hardy was not in handcuffs.

I do not know anything more than what Mike Johnson is reporting, I have been unable to find an arrest record for Jeff Hardy in Nashville, Tennessee. That does not always mean that one does not exist, however, there is not one on record upon last check.

We'll be following this story throughout the afternoon as any more trouble for Jeff Hardy could not bode well for his future with World Wrestling Entertainment. Hardy is currently working with two Wellness Policy violations as he was suspended for 60 days by WWE back in March

A WWE spokesperson issued the following statement to The Sun out of the United Kingdom regarding Jeff Hardy and the alleged incident at the Nashville International Airport where eyewitnesses say Hardy was removed from his flight:

"WWE has been informed of an alleged incident involving Jeff Hardy... We are currently investigating the situation and will take appropriate actions if needed."

As I reported earlier, there is no arrest record on file for Jeff Hardy in Nashville, TN as of this writing

Hmmm this is deffo a story to keep our eyes on. I wonder what it is? I hope its nothing to do with drugs cause that would mean Jeff would be out of the WWE and he is in the middle of a huge push at the moment so it would be a shame

UPDATE:

The Tennessean is reporting that Jeff Hardy was denied boarding a Southwest Airline flight to North Carolina when he appeared to be intoxicated at the Nashville International Airport in the Southwest gate on Wednesday.

According to the newspaper, a Southwest employee reported it and Hardy was told that he could not board the flight. Hardy was reportedly very cooperative and there was no altercation or need to get police involved. He denied Southwest’s offer for another flight and made other arrangements

Speaking of Jeff Hardy working with 2 Wellness Policy violations. I wanna know how in the hell people don't make a big fuss about that, but when news breaks out about a Diva being involved in an escort scandle it's like the worst ever thing, and she is forced out of the wrestling business over it. I see wrestlers violating the WWE wellness policy as a bigger deal.

Whatever happened with Jeff Hardy in Nashville don't bother me any. If he was intoxicated, so what. I had my night of being intoxicated in public 6 years ago, and I got carried out 2 strip clubs in one night, plus knocked down on my head when attemping to walking in the club to get my hat. A bouncer knocked me down to the ground. I should had been given back my hat from a bouncer if I couldn't go back in there to get it, but that is what alcohol does to people.

What I have a problem with is wrestlers getting caught with drugs in their system when submitting a drug test and violating the wellness policy, and still have a job in the WWE. What forced Ashley out is nothing compared to this, and can anyone blame me for kicking the WWE out of my life?

They didn't let Jeff board the plane because he was drinking? It's not like he was going to fly the plane right? Lol. I thought on planes they have those tiny travelor liquor bottles anyway or maybe even serve drinks. Jeff must of been really bad or something else happened. Funny this makes the press, lol.

[Stratusfaction]

Yeah i thought that Ice about the mini bottles you get on flights. But its just been passed over the wwe havent really battered an eye lid towards this incident. And when the article says Jeff was very co-operative it makes me think that he wasnt really that intoxicated

[Iceman]

Oh, I see, so the WWE wasn't too considered/didn't care much. Makes sense then since it wasn't anything too crazy, but somehow word got out/it made the press anyway, lol.

Jeff really has things working against him and his career and personally I believe he could have been champion had he behaved properly.

I found this whilst looking around sites, its a extract from a interview with Jeff...

Regarding the Nashville airport incident: That was extremely blown out of proportion. So many wrestlers drink at times, and I had been drinking a lot that night. I’m not going to lie — I’ve been on planes a lot drunker than that. There was nothing rude done; I wasn’t violent or anything like that. I guess I was stumbling boarding the plane or something, and somebody must have just said that I was drunk, because I was asleep on the plane. This is Southwest, you know, open seating and everything. The first thing I remember is just waking up and security — it wasn’t police, it was security — saying, “Mr. Hardy, you have to get off the plane. We feel you’ve had too much to drink.” Matt got up and was like, “What’s the problem?” They were like, “He’s had too much to drink.” I go, “I was asleep. I’ll wake up in Raleigh. I’ve been like this before.” But I just cooperated and left the plane.

Whether or not WWE lost confidence in him over the incident: No. Right away, once I got home I called who I needed to call and just told them what happened. It does make me sick when — especially with me — anything negative, the Internet wants to highlight right away. One [site] actually said that Beth was with me and she was the one that was too drunk and she was handcuffed. I was never handcuffed. There were these crazy things like, “He got caught with contraband.” It was nothing like that.
