Over time, several WWE stars Hardy was closely with did make it over to TNA, including Christian Cage, who Hardy believes the promotion did a great job in elevating him into a star. Hardy didn’t have the same opinion, however, about his brother Jeff Hardy, who worked from 2004 to 2006 in between runs with WWE. In hindsight, Hardy believes his brother’s heart wasn’t quite into his first stint in TNA, at least compared to later runs he’d have with the promotion.

“Jeff was just killing time during that,” Hardy said. “He went and he put effort into doing it. But he still…he hadn’t got himself together in his personal life yet. He didn’t get himself to where he needed to be. So I felt like he could’ve been that much more impactful if he had been in a better place in his personal life.
“But I feel that while he was there he did some good stuff, but at the end of the day, he wasn’t driven to make the company a better place. I feel like he was kind of killing his time, and he was wrestling because he was a really good wrestler. And he, you know, just kind of hanging out. That was kind of his mindset during that time.”
