Jeff Hardy Interview
We talk to the WWE star about beating HHH, landscaping, and meeting soldiers.
by Bill Barnwell

December 18, 2007 - Jeff Hardy's coming off the hottest weekend of his career. A win over Triple H at Sunday's Armaggeddon pay-per-view not only gave him a huge victory over arguably the company's biggest star, but it catapulted him into the number one contendership, which puts him in line to face Randy Orton at the upcoming Royal Rumble. IGN spoke to Jeff on Tuesday to discuss his recent success and his recent trip visiting soldiers stationed in the Middle East.

IGN: Obviously, it's been a big week for you, following your victory on Sunday over Triple H. What's it feel like for the company to put that much confidence in you?

Jeff: I've been on somewhat of a roll, yeah! It feels like a lot of pressure first and foremost, but at the same time, I know I can do it, so it's been very good. I don't let the pressure get to me, and with this roll that I'm on, as long as I remain Jeff Hardy, as long as I'm humble, it'll be great.

IGN: Assuming that the match with you and Randy Orton occurs at the Royal Rumble, would you consider that the most important match of your career?

Jeff: All the TLC matches I'm extremely fond of, because they were such a highlight of my career and Matt's, and Edge's. We raised the bar at that point, but at the same time, we've gotten back to basics by necessity. The HHH match was the biggest night of my career so far, and the match against Randy Orton could be the new biggest one of my career, especially if I win.

IGN: When you were wrestling in bars in North Carolina and working as an underneath guy for the then-WWF back in the late-nineties, did you always think you'd get to this point, or did you have your doubts?

Jeff: There were a lot of times when we would doubt ourselves. We starved for a long time: I was landscaping, and Matt was running around, getting sponsors for our shows. We were hurting for money. There were tons of times were our dad would disbelieve in what we did, but we stuck with it. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew it would happen, and it just played out like it was meant to be and now here I am. I feel bad that Matt's not enjoying it right now because he's hurt, but…

IGN: Actually, how is Matt doing?

Jeff: Matt's good, he's at home, his appendix burst when he was in Tampa, so he goes home, he's out of the hospital one week, and he starts having chills and fevers. He went back in and had to get 40 more cc's of infection out of his toe. Now, this is the best he's felt since this all started.

IGN: What was it like to team back up with your brother? Would you want to return to teaming with him again at some point, or do you want to stay a singles wrestler at this point?

Jeff: For now, I think it's important I establish myself as a singles guy because I have a great opportunity here, and I need to surf this wave until I crash, metaphorically. Matt's out, and I love tag team wrestling, but the only person I want to team with is Matt. It's a lot of fun teaming with HHH, but I'm focused on my singles career.

IGN: You've never really had an extended program in the WWE working against Matt. Would you like to do a long-term storyline with him at some point?

Jeff: Oh, sure, I think it could be an amazing angle. Back in the day, he was always a believer in people wanting to see us fight. Me, I kinda think that brothers get into fights all the time, just by their nature. If we do it right, oh my god, that could be a year-long feud, and hopefully, we'll get to that. It's not anywhere we should go soon, but something for a couple of years down the road. I always remember the matches between Owen and Bret Hart, I'd love to live up to that, and even have a brotherly feud that tops that.

IGN: One of the most harrowing moments of the year in the ring was the ladder match you had with MNM, when Joey Matthews ended up breaking his noise on a ladder spot gone wrong. What do you do in that sort of situation?

Jeff: You know, that night was so weird for me. I was oblivious to the fact that his nose was off his face until after the match. I was down after I dove, and I didn't turn around, and the next thing I know, Joey Matthews is gone and there's blood everywhere around the ring. I didn't know until after the match, but it was vicious. It doesn't take much to hurt yourself if you don't protect yourself in those sort of matches.

IGN: What's it like to travel to the Middle East and visit the United States soldiers stationed there?

Jeff: It's killer, man. I was a little more adapted to it this year after going for the first time last year. It's kinda creepy at first, but you can sense the morale boost with the guys. They're gone 15 months at a time, and there are a few entertainers who go, but we're the ones who really go to the bases in the middle of nowhere and hang out with the troops.

Me, Rey Mysterio, and Umaga threw hatchets with them, just passing time, in the middle of nowhere. We got to shoot some guns, which is always fun. Being there for three or four days is nothing compared to 15 months, so I give them massive props for what they do.

IGN: Do you play video games at all?

Jeff: I'm not that big of a gamer, but this week, I did some of the new liners for next year's game. I got a copy of the Wii game, and I've seen the graphics, and they're amazing. I've got six, seven days off and I might get a setup and check it out. I'd like to try the Wii game.

Didn't you do motion capture for WWE Attitude?

Jeff: Yeah! Back in the attitude era, Matt and I put the suits on them with all the little balls on them, it was brutal, man! We did well over 1000 moves, and if one of those things come off, you had to do them all over again. I don't know if that's still around, or how they make games today, but yeah, that was brutal.
