Jeff Hardy has built a career off of performing death defying moves in the ring and The Charismatic Enigma recently confirmed during an interview with Chris Van Vliet that he’s been dealing with two bulging discs on the left side of his neck.
“It’s better. This past Monday and Tuesday, it felt really good. Then we flew out here, and I fell asleep a little funky on the plane. I remember jerking my head up one time, and it hurt. So it was hurting a little more than it did Monday and Tuesday. But overall, man, it’s feeling good. It’s definitely better. So this has been a little over three months now. I’ve been dealing with two bulging discs on the left side of my neck, and this happened when we dropped the titles at the NXT Halloween Havoc show.
It was one of those things, you couldn’t even tell, it looked completely fine. I landed flat, but I was on the big guy’s shoulders. The one guy jumped off the ladder, clotheslined me off. The idea was for me to go through the table, but I kind of overshot the table, and he just broke the table, and my head just hit the mat, and it was a little whiplash like that. It felt terrible. I mean, it definitely felt like a concussion, and I was close to being knocked out, but that’s when it happened. Two bulging discs on the left side of my neck, but I’m feeling much better.”
Jeff Hardy has not wrestled since the January 22 episode of TNA Impact and Fightful Select is reporting that his match Mustafa Ali almost didn’t happen. According to the report there were discussions that Jeff wouldn’t wrestle on the show and Matt Hardy almost ended up taking his place in the match.
However, Jeff Hardy insisted that he move forward with the match because he knew Mustafa Ali would take care of him, and it’s being said that he was looking forward to working the match. Ultimately Hardy defeated Ali and the word is that he was ok following the match.
