Jeff Hardy is the biggest "what if" in wrestling. For whatever reason this guy did not have the spirit to be a top guy. The rocket has been strapped to Jeff a few times in multiple companies and he always proves he doesn't want the spot.

No one has ever been more over while doing nothing to try to actually get over. Jeff was over because he was Jeff.

I have no doubts that Jeff could have been the next big thing if he wanted it. The guy has never wanted it though, and you just know it had to drive Matt crazy at times, because he tried his hardest and was a midcarder at best.

i remember when Punk told Jeffrey you'll be dead in a year in a promo.
 
I don’t like that Mox is doing legit BJJ moves in the ring that he cannot pull off against similar white belts he competes against in BJJ competitions.

That to me speaks volumes to his char and shows me that he is gon wind up fucking someone up tremendously.

Idiot.

  • #RAWonNetflix and #WWEonNetflix also trended in Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Spain, and the US.
 

TMZ asked WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry if he was surprised by Hogan’s rough reception on Raw. Henry was not shocked at all, because Hogan has never tried to fix things after his racist tirade was caught on a sex tape that surfaced in 2015.

“Any time that you consider the Mount Rushmore and the top 10 of wrestling all-time, Hogan is always gonna be in that top 10. But right now with the social climate and the things that he’s said and done, and his lack of effort to try to fix it, people are gonna come down on him.
I never had an issue with him before I heard all of the stuff, and even then I believe in giving second chances. Anybody that knows me knows that I’m a ‘fix it’ person. I’m not gonna dwell on the negative. I’m not gonna talk about the past. We’re going forward. And he never wanted to go forward and fix it. So, that’s what happens when you think that everything’s gonna go away. It’s not gonna go away.
...he thinks it’s gonna go away, that it’s not gonna be that dark cloud over his career. You know, I offered to say hey let’s do a tour of the Black colleges and explain what happened. He didn’t want to do that.”

Plenty of wrestlers in the WWE locker room didn’t buy Hogan’s thin apology to them in 2018 about his racist statements. Based on what Titus O’Neil had to say about it at the time, it sounds like Hogan was apologizing more for being caught on tape than for the actual hateful words that came out of his mouth. Hogan later said that any wrestlers who didn’t accept his apology “don’t understand the brotherhood of wrestling.” Tone-deaf statements like that speak to Henry’s assertion that Hogan isn’t interested in fixing things.
 
I know this won't shock anyone given the promos, but it indeed will be Penta debuting on Raw this Monday against Chad Gable. Penta will then be a regular on the Raw brand going forward.

As PWInsiderElite.com broke Monday, Jade Cargill has been in the ring all week at the WWE Performance Center. Today is slated to be her final day training there this week. We are told she is scheduled to be back at the PC next week as well.

As we mentioned on the WDNNSNS yesterday, internally, Tiffany Stratton is still listed as a heel.

Corey Graves is off the Smackdown brand going forward. We are told he is currently scheduled for next week's WWE NXT to join Vic Joseph and Booker T once again.

Joe Tessitore will be the lead voice for Smackdown we are told. The color commentator would be Wade Barrett.

There's been talk of bringing some former Royal Rumble winners in for the 2025 Rumble event. My guess is that it would be for cameos, not for them to be in the ring. Hacksaw Duggan and Ric Flair have been the two names I've heard bouncing around. Duggan won the first Rumble in 1988. Flair won the WWF title in the 1992 edition of the Rumble.

We gotta keep getting reminded Tiffany is a heel cause cacs keep cheering for her.

Graves getting booted to NXT kinda funny but it shows how much progress Joe has made.
