Jeff Hardy: “I Want To Be The World Champion Again”

On Tuesday, Jeff Hardy made his return to TNA Impact and competed in a match against Eric Young.

Jeff won that match, but got involved with his brother Matt and started a chain of events that led to Drew Galloway becoming the new TNA World Champion.

A few days prior, Jeff Hardy spoke with Ring Rust Radio and commented on his new contract with TNA Wrestling and the potential of becoming TNA World Champion again.

What are your long-term goals with Impact Wrestling?

“For sure yeah, I am going to drive myself crazy until I when that world title. Actually, I would love somewhere down the road before my time is done with TNA to team up with Matt again and win the tag team titles. When I broke my leg, we had just won the titles and we didn’t even get to defend them. I was also the Omega champion at that same time and I just had to give it up. So I would like to try to make up for things from when I got hurt. By far I want to be the world champion again and tag-team champion again with big money Matt, even as arrogant as he is.”

Do you intend to continue wrestling after your new contract with TNA?

“I don’t know, it’s hard to say especially with this injury. Right now I’m taking it match by match. It was an obvious choice and I didn’t hesitate to re-sign because I owe it to them. I’ve been riding all my life and it was a bad thing to do to get hurt outside of the ring. It really hurt TNA with me being a main player in the game and out of action. I just felt like I owed it to them, a good year of strong wrestling. I hope things happen for a reason because now it’s really challenged me to up my style and I’ve learned a lot about myself since I’ve been injured. I’ve been lucky considering this is my first serious injury I’ve ever had. It really has been hell but it’s also been good in a way with Matt doing so well and being on top. For future and long term, I am focused on getting through here and right now and maybe check out options next year about this time.”
