Matt Hardy speaks

TNA World Hvt. champion Jeff Hardy is re-energized, focused, and
willing to speak up behind-the-scenes in TNA, according to his
brother Matt Hardy during an exclusive interview on the February
8 PWTorch Livecast.
Matt painted a picture of a different, more-committed Jeff Hardy
who inked a two-year deal with TNA earlier this month to remain
one of the promotion's top stars as they expand to bigger arenas
for Impact television.
"It's a huge step forward for them growing into somewhat of a
bigger wrestling company and one day being on the radar of WWE,"
Matt exclusively told PWTorch editor Wade Keller. "I definitely
think he's very passionate about not only what he's doing, but
making the company he works for better."
Matt says that Jeff recognizes the pressure placed on him as the
face of TNA going into a new era. However, Matt believes Jeff is
much-better prepared to handle this pressure than earlier in his
career.
"I think he knows he's the flagship and face of the company
right now. Obviously, he wants it to succeed. I think he takes a
lot of pride in being the face of the company and it doing well.
So, he wants to do whatever he can to excel," Matt said.
"Jeff never worked out when we were on the road and he ate
whatever. Now, Jeff eats super-strict, he gets up at 7:00 or
7:30 in the morning, he runs three or four miles, and he works
out. It's insane. Like, I've never seen him like this.
Everything in his life kind of pointed to him making these
changes and he takes it very seriously."
Although Jeff has always been an individual and free spirit,
Matt says his TNA champ brother has taken it upon himself to
develop as a leader, breaking out from his reputation for being
so laid-back that he allowed Matt to do everything when they
were a tag team.
"When he comes home, he wants nothing to do with wrestling, but
when he goes to wrestle now, he's very into his matches and he
wants to make it good," Matt said. "Before, when we teamed for
so many years, he would go, 'Matt, tell me what to do and when
to do it.' (laughs) But, now, he's so hands-on and his mind is
so good. He's such a good worker, he's smarter than he's ever
been, and he's very good about picking and choosing his stuff.
And, he's taking such good care of himself. It's awesome to see,
especially from my standpoint."
Part of being a leader is Jeff deciding he has enough clout and
credibility in TNA to speak up when he feels it's necessary.
Matt says it's new territory for Jeff, but a sign of his
maturity.
Asked if Jeff would take a stand if he felt like it, Matt said,
"Absolutely, yeah." Hardy continued, "He doesn't care - he will
definitely speak up. He's always been kind of laid-back or a
go-with-the-flow type guy, but now that he's a dad and with the
things he's been through, he's very much like, 'No, I don't
think this is cool.' Or, 'This should be a different way.' Or,
'I'm not going to do this.' Where, back in the day, he would let
a lot of that slide."
Can Jeff maintain the improvements to his personal and
professional habits? Matt says that he believes Jeff is locked
in after his recent trials, which include a September 2009 drug
arrest and the infamous Victory Road 2011 PPV match with Sting
that led to him leaving TNA.
"It's amazing. Reby has just known him since he's been
super-responsible Jeff, and I'm just like, 'You can't imagine
just how different he is.' It's great to see," Matt said.
"And, it's a testament to how good people can change. Jeff's
always had the best heart of anyone you would ever meet, but
it's just a testament to people really do change and evolve and
mature. Sometimes it just takes different circumstances to get
people there. Hopefully they do. Sometimes people get their
stuff together or they end up failing alltogether."

That "Suicide" video, the now infamous Taser video.
Hes hit rock bottom with Reby, but in all fairness, she did
stick by him and he has made a recovery.
