Jeff Hardy On His Odd Post-Match Breakdown At JCW, Bizarre Alleged Tribute To Arnold Schwarzenegger

Jeff Hardy caused some speculation on social media last weekend after acting erratically at last weekend's Gathering of the Juggalos event in Ohio. Following a triple threat match with Willie Mack and JCW champion Kongo Kong, Hardy started destroying ladders and tables before taking a cardboard cutout of Arnold Schwarzenegger up a ladder and pointing to the sky, as if The Governator had passed away.

"I finished the match with a [frustrated] breakdown where I'm trying to break a ladder, break tables?" Hardy says. "Many people hadn't seen that, so naturally people are wondering 'what the Hell is wrong with Jeff Hardy? Oh my God, he's off the wagon!' And this-and-that. It was nothing like that." One Juggalo's post wound up being taken as a primary news source for many pro wrestling news sites. According to Hardy, the breakdown was simply a preview for what's next for his character on TNA.

As for the odd tribute to Schwarzenegger, Hardy revealed that the cut-out was actually of El Dandy.

"It was a [Mexican Wrestler] El Dandy cutout and I thought it was Eddie Guerrero and I feel so stupid now," Hardy says. "Just knowing [Guerrero] back in the day?real tight, real good friends. Plus, my eyesight's going. Somebody said something about it being Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I thought, if that was Arnold, I need to go to the hospital right now, holy s–t!"
