Jeff Hardy Looks Back On Period Of His Career When He Was ‘Bigger Than Obama’

Jeff Hardy looks back at the heights he reached popularity-wise.

Ahead of the live episode of TNA Wrestling Thursday Night iMPACT on 7/30, TNA World Tag Team Champion Jeff Hardy guest appeared on Busted Open.

Hardy looked back at the period of his WWE run when he reached new levels of popularity for himself. There’s a running joke that at the time, Hardy was more popular than the 44th President of the United States of America and the first Black U.S.A. President, Barack Obama.

“I think they’re from Jupiter, I’m pretty sure,” Hardy joked when asked where his haters come from. “I’m pretty sure. They certainly may not exist here on Earth and I mean, I’m sure there’s a few… Back when Matt (Hardy) was a very, very bad brother when he was very envious of me, just for the fact that I was bigger than (Barack) Obama, during my run in WWE, and he had to turn on me and hit me with a chair and take me out. Just a terrible brother at that point and he just couldn’t take it so he had to try to get rid of me once again but, I’m sure there’s a few out there.”

The Hardys will be on the 7/30 TNA show. To get a look at the lineup, click here.
