Jeff Hardy’s Drug Possession Case Postponed Again

Jeff Hardy’s court case on drug possession charges was postponed again today after his lawyer asked for time to have a drug treatment assessment done.

Jim Van Camp told Senior Resident Judge James Webb this was only an option under consideration.

“There has been no assessment yet,” Van Camp said. “Becky Carlson … needs some time.”

Carlson, the district administrator for the 19-B J.D. Sentencing Services Program, will form her own judgement as to whether Hardy needs drug dependent therapy, get another view from an expert and recommend a treatment plan. She said “that takes time.”

The case has been continued until June 27.

On September 11, 2009 Hardy was arrested on charges of trafficking in controlled prescription pills and possession of anabolic steroids, after a search of his house yielded 262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder cocaine, and drug paraphernalia. A Moore County grand jury later indicted Hardy.

The cases against Hardy have been continued several times, including three times this year. He has remained free on bail pending his day in court.

More information on the case is available here.

Bret Hart Comments On WWE Banning The Word “Wrestling”

Staff

The UK Sun has published a new interview with WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart, which you can read here in its entirety. One of the more interesting quotes was about WWE eliminating the word “wrestling” from the company name and on television.

Hart explains that no matter what you call the company – WWE will always be about wrestling – and takes a swipe at Hulk Hogan in the process (it’s hard to resist):

“I’m kind of scratching my head about that. I don’t know that it makes any difference. Wrestling is wrestling. Call it whatever name you want, it’s still wrestling. I think WWE is synonymous with wrestling. If WWE doesn’t stand for World Wrestling Entertainment then what does it stand for?”

“It may be a case of Vince trying to monopolise wrestling even more than he has. I think a lot of the wrestlers today, judging by the styles they have, they are wrestlers. They are not bodybuilders or powerlifters or strongmen like in the days of Hulk Hogan, where it was more the look. The young stars today don’t want to be Hulk Hogan. They want to be Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels.

    John Morrison Talks About His Character Evolving, WM28

    John Morrison was interviewed by The Miami Herald this week. Here are some highlights of what Morrison said about:

    Recent Changes to His Character: “I think the main reason people take me more seriously now is my beard. I think that is the thing that has made the John Morrison character turn the corner and become looked at as a title contender. As someone people see or could see me in the ring with John Cena, The Rock and Steve Austin, even The Miz. I can’t believe I just said that, but The Miz is there. He is the WWE champion. All those guys were or are at the top for a reason. The more serious attitude, the aggression and the anger is something Johnny Nitro never had and John Morrison had been lacking prior to this year. I think I tapped into some very real things as would any method actor would.”

    Climing The Ranks in WWE: “When you get into sports entertainment, your goal is to become WWE champion. How do you get that? That is like asking someone how to get a promotion. There are a lot of answers, but there is no clear cut, ‘This is what you got to do.’

    “It’s frustrating. I see myself as a perfectionist, an almost obsessive compulsive workout fiend. The things I can control I give a hundred percent all the time. I workout, pay attention and study. I do all that stuff. To not be able to achieve the level of success I want, dreamed of as a kid and feel I deserve is part of what really led me to show that aggressive streak and show that anger and frustration in the ring. It’s something that is real. It’s something that is really happening to me.”

    WrestleMania 28 from Miami: “I love Miami. I’m stoked that we are going there next year. If we are not going to be in Los Angeles, we may as well be in Miami. I love the sun. Next year I hope and expect to be main eventing WrestleMania. I want to come in as WWE champion or world champion or be involved in a WWE championship or world championship match.”

    On Monday’s episode of RAW, John Morrison called out R-Truth for being out of shape due to his habit of smoking cigarettes. Morrison defeated Truth and took his spot in the WWE title match at Extreme Rules, leading to a beat on Morrison by R-Truth. R-Truth then got a pack of cigarettes from a fan at ringside and lit up a cigarette, blowing smoke on the beaten body of John Morrison.

    According to TMZ.com, the largest anti-tobacco organization in the world is now demanding an apology from WWE for the segment, which they call borderline evil.

    Patrick Reynolds, Executive Director of TobaccoFree.org, is demanding a public apology from R-Truth for smoking in front of children on a broadcast that’s promoted as family entertainment. Reynolds told TMZ.com:

    “For him to smoke in front of [children] is irresponsible. At best, it’s thoughtless, and at worst, if he calculated appealing to kids by posing as a bad-boy outlaw, it’s evil.”

    In response, WWE issued the following statement to TMZ.com:

    “The negative effect smoking has on one’s health and physical performance was a part of a storyline on last night’s Monday Night Raw. Negative depictions of tobacco use on television are not unusual and can be seen on other TV-PG shows.”

    John Cena Advertised For SmackDown After The Draft

    WWE issued a press release on Monday afternoon announcing this year’s WWE Draft will be taking place next week on RAW. As part of the announcement, WWE speculated about the ramifications of possible talent trades we could see next Monday night – including John Cena moving to SmackDown and Rey Mysterio on RAW.

    This week, an email was sent out by North Carolina’s Greensboro Coliseum to fans who are attending the April 26th SmackDown taping (the night after the WWE draft) – and John Cena is being advertised for the show.

    Cena does make occasional appearances on SmackDown, so there might not be bigger implications to Cena appearing on SmackDown the night after the Draft.

    However – with WWE looking to build up the SmackDown roster following the departure of Edge, John Cena getting drafted SmackDown next week is not entirely out of the question.

    New Details On Edge’s Final Days In WWE

    With the dust starting to settle following Edge’s surprise retirement, new details are coming in regarding Edge’s final days as an active competitor and what’s next for the Rated R Superstar.

    In the months leading up to WrestleMania 27, Edge had been suffering increasing numbness in his arms and hands as well as periods of uncontrollable trembling. Based on the findings of the medical tests that ultimately led to Edge’s career being cut short, it’s nothing short of alarming that Edge was booked for a ladder match in 2 weeks when doctors now say that one bad bump could have left him paralyzed or worse.

    Very few people knew of the severity of the situation and virtually nobody had any idea that WrestleMania 27 would be the end of Edge’s storied career.

    From what we’re hearing, WWE creative had storylines written for Edge through and beyond Extreme Rules on May 1st. The announcement of Edge’s retirement came as a shock to almost everyone in the company. The news of Edge’s MRI results and mandatory retirement was not public knowledge until the crew showed up for RAW last Monday, just hours before Edge broke the news on live television.

    Edge’s final WWE match came after the April 5th SmackDown tapings in Charlotte, North Carolina. Edge, in street clothes, teamed with Christian, Big Show, Rey Mysterio and Triple H to defeat the team of Alberto Del Rio and The Corre.

    Edge is currently with the WWE crew overseas for the WrestleMania Revenge tour and has been doing retirement speeches at the live events. Edge has been telling fans that when the decision was made for him to retire last week, WWE wanted to pull him from the tour but he insisted that he go anyway to say goodbye to the fans.

    “Well….not exactly what I had in mind tonight from London. However, paybacks are hell. Ham & egg announcers knocking me are laughable.
