Jeff Hardy doesn’t think about how long he has left in his wrestling career.
The former WWE Champion has been wrestling at the top level since his WWE debut in 1994. He was just 16 years old when he lost to Razor Ramon and has gone on to wrestle countless matches in the next thirty years.
Jeff Hardy appeared on Insight with Chris Van Vliet where he was asked if he think about how long his career will last.
The TNA Tag Team Champion said that he doesn’t, but joked that he wants to retire CM Punk and go into the WWE Hall of Fame. He then spoke about wishing he could have had a moment with CM Punk in AEW and would love to do a program together in the future.
Jeff Hardy On How Long His Career Will Last
“Not at all. I just said a joke a few weeks ago at this show we did, and my humor is different, too. I know a lot of people don’t get my humor, and I guess it can be dark at times. But I just said that by the time I’m 50 I might go back to WWE, retire CM Punk, and then maybe go in the Hall of Fame.”
“But there were things like that was seriously what I was manifesting, which is not the case at all. I just said that thinking I was being funny, and I think that was right after I painted my face so uncomfortably in front of all those people. But no, I didn’t mean that at all. I just thought it might be funny.”
“But yeah, the reality is it could happen because our feud, I still get so many compliments on that with people that are adults now. ‘Oh man, you and Punk, the feud was amazing.’ So even in AEW I felt like there was a moment for me and Punk, at least just some kind of face-off or uncomfortable like us running in each other in the backstage or something.”
“But we never got to do that. But ultimately, I would love to revisit that feud in some way, and who knows. CM Punk is such a superpower in the pro wrestling game, but if Jeff Hardy getting sober made him like an asshole. I mean, come on, heel Jeff Hardy against the one and only popular CM Punk. I feel like that’s completely possible.”
