Jeff Hardy Reveals His Dream Opponent, Talks Cage Fall, More

Jeff Hardy spoke with Chad Dukes Wrestling Show to promote iMPACT! Wrestling’s Friday night debut. Check out the highlights:

On his cage fall from iMPACT!: “I’m recovering as we speak. I’m going to get checked out, some concussion testing maybe an MRI next week. I remember climbing out of the cage, watching that video’s so crazy when you get knocked out and can’t remember what happened, it was freaky. Last thing I can really compare something like that happening in my life, I was trying to jump this motorcross jump I had built and last thing I remember was going over my handlebars and the rest was history, I don’t remember anything else after that. Same scenario, I woke up backstage and seeing the video it’s just freaky, could have went a lot worse. I’m walking, glad to say I’m walking pretty comfortably. My neck and lower back’s pretty banged up but I’m gonna get set straight next week with all that stuff.”

On if he’s ever considered changing his wrestling style: “If the WWE ring would have never changed. A lot of people don’t know back in the day when Hogan did those legdrops that [WWE] ring was so hard, you had to be a giant to even make it budge. And back when Matt and I first started it was still that hard ring when we were doing the jobs. I’ll never forget the first time I did Monday Night Raw, I was sixteen years old and I went out there and the first time I fell on that thing I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is like being in a kickboxing ring or a sidewalk.’ It was horrible because I only weighed about a hundred and ninety pounds. If that ring would have remained like that I might be in a wheelchair right now because that thing was hard.”

On his dream opponent: “For sure there’s one: Jushin “Thunder” Liger, a famous Japanese wrestler. I feel that will happen sometime in the future, just to know he’s still out there doing it and doing it great is inspirational to me and I would love to have that encounter somewhere in the near future.”

On CM Punk going to UFC: “I got crazy excited when I heard that he was gonna fight. I’ll be sure to be one of the spectators watching, and good luck to him. Hopefully he’s gonna do great. That takes a lot of nerves to step up there and go that route.”
