Jeff Hardy Talks About Working For WWE’s ‘Alternative’, TNA’s Future In New Interview

Jeff HardyTNA Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy recently talked to Michiganlive.com about a number of topics, including TNA's reputation of being a where 'washed-up' WWE stars go, the future of TNA, and more. Hardy was out promoting the 'Road To Lockdown' tour that will feature a show in the Detroit area; you can read a few excerpts below:

What would you say to critics that claim TNA is where washed up former WWE (and WWF) wrestlers go to collect a paycheck?

You know, I’m not sure. We’re way different than WWE. We may never be as big as WWE, but the cool thing about TNA is that we are the alternative. So people who get tired and bored with the WWE – I’ve been there, I understand – there’s an alternative and something else to watch. For special wrestlers, there’s somewhere else to go – as long as you’re not brainwashed by that WWE mentality. There’s other worlds out there; it’s OK to switch around.

What do you think about the future of TNA Wrestling and its potential to grow and get more fan support?

The sky is the limit. There’s so many talent guys here. I’ve worked with Austin Aries several times, Bobby Roode; those guys are phenomenal. There’s guys like A.J. Styles; he’s unbelievable.  These kinds of guys are just getting it done, man. And when they do get the chances, they take full advantage. It just takes time, the product is going to get better and better. I don’t know what the next five or 10 years will bring, but I definitely think TNA will continue to grow. I’m not sure where exactly it’s going or how it’s going to be but it’s definitely going to be changing the game.
