Once again, I'd like to note something that Joe pointed out in his promo on SmackDown Live -- He thanked the WWE for showing the fans such a great anthology, basically a series of Jeff Hardy's career highlights.

But that turned out to be another vicious verbal attack, when Joe noted that it's a good thing WWE showed Jeff Hardy his career highlights, because Hardy probably doesn't remember wrestling in some of his most iconic matches -- indicating that Hardy was under the influence of drugs/alcohol for most of his career!

Now, although the majority of fans and experts cannot possibly know the intimate details of Hardy's battle with substance abuse, one thing we do know for a fact, is that Hardy was dangerously intoxicated during his "No Disqualification" match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against then-champion Sting, at TNA's (now--Impact Wrestling) Victory Road PPV (March 13th, 2011) -- the match lasted only 1:28 minutes, and Sting forcefully pinned Hardy to quickly end it and prevent Hardy from potentially hurting himself.

In fact, in an appearance on The Art Of Wrestling podcast, Hardy spoke to Colt Cabana, and confirmed that he had taken too many somas before his match against Sting at TNA Victory Road 2011.

Now, coming back to the present day, it's important for us to understand that Samoa Joe's statements on SmackDown Live, about Hardy not remembering anything from most of his pro-wrestling career, was quite a nasty shot at Hardy's battle with somas and drugs of the sort, especially one of the most infamous moments in TNA history -- Hardy's match at TNA Victory Road 2011, against Sting...
