Wrestling DVDs!
Why? Well, unlike day-to-day professional wrestling, the DVDs come prepackaged with all the good stuff and none of the Miz stuff. Add in some behind-the-scenes footage and interviews, and you have several hours of quality entertainment.
As you can imagine, we were excited when we found out that the "Dean of Extreme" (our nickname, not his, as far as we know), Jeff Hardy, would be getting a full-fledged release from WWE's DVD machine. To make matters better, it was scheduled to come out around Christmas! Our parents told us there wasn't a Santa, but we all know he lives in Stamford, Connecticut.
(Incidentally, Stamford's wikipedia page has it's priorities all wrong. WWE Headquarters is mentioned three-quarters of the way down the page, after the Versus NHL studio show and the YES network, and just before the fictional workplace of "The Office." Who's in charge of this thing???)
Well, the unfortunate happened...
BUSTED!! ...seriously. Yes, just days after his last appearance on WWE television, Jeff Hardy met the long arm of the law, and that arm searched Jeff's house and found a number of prescription pills and some cocaine residue. Needless to say, he's got a little bit longer arrest record at the moment.
WWE, the fine, upstanding company they are, likely want to distance themselves from this druggie, despite the fact that they used that as part of his storyline for nearly a year. Still, they've decided to drop Hardy's DVD from their upcoming release schedule. We were heartbroken.
That is, until today.
You see, so many people love to LOL @ Wresslin', we have some fans beyond the velvet rope. We were sent some of the material that was to be included on the DVD from our friends inside WWE's DVD production group. And being shepherds to all the young members of the LOL, Wresslin' Junior Laugh Squad, we bring them to you. Consider it our way of making sure your Christmas isn't ruined.
Jeff's Greatest Smackdown Moments
This feature seems to be timed to take advantage of Smackdown's 10th anniversary, and since Jeff ended his career on Friday nights, it's only fitting to bring the audience some of his most memorable appearances on the show. Like this one, where he's a guest on Edge's talk segment:
Jeff's Biggest Hits
We all know Hardy can deliver some of the most devastating moves in the wrestling business, and this section brings us just that: all of Jeff's hardest-hitting moves packed into one feature! For instance, he loves to pull out the stops for pay-per-views, and this appearance on No Mercy was certainly no exception...
Or maybe you'd like this sick moonsault from all the way back in 1997! He was going strong back then!!
How about the time he locked up with another LOL, Wresslin' fav, Mr. Kennedy?
Jeff's Greatest Promos
We all know that Jeff Hardy is a madman in the ring, performing stunts to the amazement of all in attendance and watching at home. But he's also a genius on the microphone, and WWE was going to highlight that with this section of the DVD, bringing you some of Jeff's most outstanding work outside the squared circle.
Family brings out the best in us, and when he went toe to toe with his own brother at Wrestlemania 25, Jeff came out on the losing end. Of course, that wasn't the end of the story...
Also, not surprisingly, Hardy knows how to handle himself around the ladies!
Jeff didn't do all his best work at WWE either, and being confident in themselves, they're willing to show you a little of his performances with other promotions...
Seems somebody has been reading LOL, Wresslin'!
Photo Gallery
Not all gold can be contained in video form, so WWE was going to include some of the more rare pictures from Jeff's career.
Bonus Footage
You can't have a DVD without an Easter Egg hidden somewhere, and this one's a doozie!

Seems to me that Jeff Hardy is well acquainted with the LAW.
Hey maybe Jeff should get Kurt's lawyer and all his charges will be dropped. Great post
