Jeff Hardy changing style

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Now that he’s reached his 30th birthday, Jeff Hardy is planning to tone down his traditionally over-the-top in-ring style, which has in the past invovled acrobatic backflips and jumps from heights at which few other wrestlers would attempt. Perhaps he’s looked at how toning his style down will affect his life insurance rates.

Whatever the case, Hardy the high-flyer will slowly be giving way to Hardy the in-ring storyteller, according to Jeff’s recent interview with the Winnipeg Sun.

“I know what I can and can’t do,” Hardy said. “I go back to when I was watching wrestling as a kid. Macho Man, Hulk Hogan, and The Ultimate Warrior could have great matches by telling a story in the ring. They didn’t have to do backflips.”

Jeff Hardy is one of many top WWE talents who could be switching brands tonight on USA Network’s three-hour RAW broadcast, featuring the WWE Draft, which has become an annual event in which the company shakes up its respective rosters to freshen up storylines and feuds.
