Welcome back TNA Wrestling fans for a new interview I had the chance to do this past week. The last time I had the opportunity to interview someone it was Kurt Angle, right before TNA began the road to the Lockdown PPV. Now, that has past and many new faces have popped up in TNA including one of my all time favorites, Jeff Hardy!!! Check it out!Boo: Hi Jeff! Not sure if you remember, but I met you a few years ago in an airport. You were great; you walked all the way to my gate with me so my mom could take a pic for me. I hate flying--do you mind it?
Hardy: Hi Booboo. Cool name! Traveling gets old when you’re flying everyday and the truth is travel is almost as rough as the wrestling is when you are on a fulltime schedule. It definitely wears you down, but it’s a must to get to the shows, so I really don’t mind it, I don’t have much of a choice haha. And as far as taking the time to take a picture with you, I love my fans and my theory is we are all human and just have a different job so I always go out of my way to support the people that appreciate what I do. Without my fans, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Thank you.
Boo: With that said, do you consider yourself a role model?
Hardy: Definitely, yes. I know I am. I never forget where I came from to get where I am today and that’s a huge important thing. Don’t ever forget where you started. Always consider yourself human and remain down to earth. And treat your fans with the respect they deserve and you’ll get all that back in the long run.
Boo: Who was your first pro wresting match against--did you win?
Hardy: My first TV match was against Scott Hall. I was only 16 years old, like you are now, and it was a pretty special time for me. And no, I did not win. I actually started wrestling around a few years prior in Omega when I was around 14 in my backyard. Back in those Omega days, I was known as Willow The Wisp. I would love to see my alternative personality show up in TNA one day.
Hardy: Definitely, yes. I know I am. I never forget where I came from to get where I am today and that’s a huge important thing. Don’t ever forget where you started. Always consider yourself human and remain down to earth. And treat your fans with the respect they deserve and you’ll get all that back in the long run.

Boo: What’s your favorite wrestling move?
Hardy: I would have to say the Swanton Bomb because its my finisher. I actually modified the name from Senton Bomb to Swanton Bomb. It have done it since the beginning of my career and its great that everyone is accepting. It’s also won me the World Heavyweight Championship so it works!
Boo: What’s your favorite type of match?
Hardy: The Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match (more commonly referred to as a TLC Match). This is my favorite by far because that is my comfort zone; I feel at home.
Boo: With all of the crazy moves you do and different types of matches you have been in, what’s the worse injury you have had in wrestling?
Hardy: In wrestling, it was ironically involving my favorite move and favorite type of match. The first time I did a Swanton Bomb off of a ladder through a table in a TLC match onto Brother Ray from Team 3D, I bruised both my heels and cracked my tail bone. Thankfully, that’s probably the worst injury I have sustained. I have been very luck.
Boo: I’ve been a fan for years and I see you use a bunch of different types of weapons in the ring --what's your favorite?
Hardy: It seems like I keep going back to them, but the steel chair, ladders and tables. And recently, at Lockdown last month in St. Louis, the kendo stick was pretty fun to use to destroy Beer Money.
Boo: With all of that said, what’s your favorite match you have had?
Hardy: Overall, it would have to be at WrestleMania X-Seven in Houston. It was the second TLC Match and it’s the one where Edge speared me when I was hanging from the belt hook above the ring. In TNA, it was definitely Monster’s Ball from the first ever Bound for Glory in 2005. It was me, Abyss, Rhino and Sabu. Both of those matches were matches with stipulations. If you want to know about my favorite regular match of all time, it was at Great American Bash 2008 against Umaga.
