TNA Superstar Jeff Hardy recently opened up about a variety of topics, including the company's ongoing negotiations to keep Impact Wrestling on Spike TV.
Kurt Angle Pitches Idea For WWE Return
It was reported earlier this month that Spike TV would be dropping Impact Wrestling from its schedule in October, but the two sides are currently in negotiations and a deal could be in place for Spike to remain a home for TNA Wrestling. Hardy addressed the ongoing speculation of Impact's future.
"I don't follow any of the timelines -- Twitter or any of that. As far as I know negotiations are still ongoing," Hardy told LAW-Live Audio Radio. "That's all I know. As far as me, I just look at it like this, I'll show up and do the best I can and have great matches. That's my job. It's not really my problem whether we stay on Spike or not. That's somebody else's problem."

Hardy also discussed 2012 being the best year of his wrestling career as he returned from personal demons that plagued him and ruined his match with Sting at Victory Road 2011 and was able to make amends for being in no condition to wrestle against Sting at that event.
"2012 was probably the best wrestling year of my life as far as I'm concerned because doing the thing with the eyelids and watching those matches back," Hardy said. "And being the Complete Enigma, I mean that was huge for me. 2012 was huge for me. And the person I am today because of all this darkness and the bad stuff I've been through. I love myself so much more deeply than I did back in the day, before I was better. So 2012 was the defining year for me."
Hardy also spoke of the changes he has made since his main event bout with Sting was cut to 90 seconds at Victory Road.
"When you do get clean and completely drug free it's amazing how things change," he said. "I find it hard to forgive myself for the way I was you know back in the day with the abuse and the addiction. It kinda makes me sick. Looking back on it, if I would've never got hooked. You can't dwell on that. I'm lucky I'm alive."
Hardy also discussed his Willow character and was asked if it was a risk to put him under a mask and hide his face.
"WWE would probably never do that because you know my face is my money maker," he said. "That's what's cool about it with me and being in TNA, a smaller planet in professional wrestling, but they're willing to take chances. As far as I'm concerned, I'm thankful they gave me that chance. Because, for me, I'm 36 years old now. Just to do that, to have these memories on video that will last forever. I can always say I brought Willow back and it wasn't half bad."
