Jeff Hardy Was Not in a Real Auto Accident

Friday January 9, 2009
The hit and run accident that World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy and his girlfriend Beth were involved in earlier today did not really happen. While some of you are laughing that I am posting this, if you saw the volume of email I got after Mr. McMahon's limo exploded then you would understand my need to post this.

This is all part of an angle leading to something. If I had to guess, I would say that the person that "crashed" into Jeff is the same person that knocked him unconscious prior to the Survivor Series. My guess is that Christian Cage will be proven responsible for both of these actions.

So you’re reporting that Jeff Hardy’s accident was a work (ERR fake)??

Next thing you’re going to tell me is that HHH and Shawn Michaels aren’t the free-wheeling wild bachelors of DX Fame, and that they’re actually married. Or that HHH, the 11-time WWE champion is married to the boss’ daughter!

As long as you don’t try and convince me that Hulk Hogan didn’t take his vitamins, or that Savio Marella is an amazingly racist portrayal of Italians.

I’ll believe that Jeff Hardy’s accident didn’t occur, but certainly not any of these other things.

I guessed this was a work as soon as I saw the pictures and cell phone footage. that footage would have been confiscated (sp?) by any officer and hardy would have been tested there and then for alcohol or drugs and all that other stuff.
it all seems too clean cut to be real. if it is, we will never know. Wwe are just taking things too far into their superstar’s personal lives for fans to draw the line between story and reality. it really is a shame that people will automatically think that anything legit will be a storyline.

yeah, christian cage is apparently due to return this year so that makes sense.

Interesting how SmackDown matches are taped, I believe on Tuesday nights, and the police car video showed 1/9/09 for the date. Also, someone on another site mentioned that you can see the name of the town the police car is from, some parish in Louisiana.

Faking a car accident like that is a bit outlandish. But it is the WWE which is known to be staged.
