The WWE has reported that wrestling star Jeff Hardy was found unconscious in his Boston hotel. According to WWE, Hardy is receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.

Many wrestling observers, however, believe that the story is just another attempt by the WWE to blur the line between fact and fiction. Fans believe that the story may be a stunt to promote Hardy's pay-per-view title match against Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov at the WWE Survivor Series 2008.

Hardy has a history of health problems. He has failed the WWE's Wellness Program twice. A third failure would lead to his dismissal from the wrestling company.

As time has passed, the incident appears to have been a hoax, according to wrestling reporter Dave Meltzer who told AOL Sports Fanhouse that Hardy is fine.

Several sources have confirmed this as storyline and that Hardy is expected to be selling the injuries on tonight's Survivor Series show.

There is a lot of speculation this will lead to an Edge vs. Jeff Hardy feud, as Edge will be the culprit. While this feud is not confirmed, there was talk of Edge vs. Hardy at Royal Rumble, and Edge flew from Tampa to Boston last night for the show.

I think that it might end up like batista and chris jericho

I really hope that it is all a hoax because if hardy did drugs again I will be so upset. I hope it is only to make hype for that match. I hope that what I hear about Edge taking his place is also not true. I hope is really truly fine. Thank you for your time.

I think that this is jst a way to hype up edges return....this is because it will end up that edge hit jeff over the head, when jeff finds this out it will renew the old feud that they had, this will lead to the main event at wrestlemania (which i hope Jeff will win coz he is awsome, LUV HIM). but along the way vickie will of course have Jeff jumping through hoops so that the "love of her life" can retain the tittle. However i think that by the time wrestlemania comes around chavo would have had enuf of edge and vickie that he will turn against them and in turn help Jeff win the tittle and then that would subsequently lead into to a fued with edge and chavo!!!!

 

Anyone agree with me????

Yeah, i think your on the right line there......but i preferred the route of CM Punk getting kicked in the head on camera than this behind the scenes (make them think its not a story)

But who knows, i guess there is the possiblity thats its just a genuine story, and not at all planned, but with Edge returning (just in time to replace Jeff) I think its all one big plot!!

ok this is wat i think is gonna happen..jeff hardy was hit by edge because he wanted to take him out so vicky could replace jeff n add edge to the match. during the match jeff hardy comes out after he was released from the hospital to beatup edge. now that edge is champion on the next smackdown edge will come out to the ring n talk about that he took back wat was his, then jeff hardy is gonna come out n assault him n ask for a match..which is gonna led to edge vs jeff hardy for the WWE championship.. that i think its a pay-per-view match everyone would want to see. n who knows we might see matt hardy come out during the match of jeff vs edge to screw edge over (to get some payback) who agrees with me on this?

it doesnt matter what true or if its a fake. Im a huge fan of jeff and either way you look at it he keeps getting screwed out of the title. the first time was because cena came back now this happened because edge was coming back if my employer kept doing that i might do drugs to. the fans want to see jeff hold the title but wwe thinks thats edge cena draw more from fans. just look at the vote at cyber sunday. they need to quit screwing with him and give him the title already.

i think it was edge cause isnt it odd how he just happened to show up the night Jeff was attacked i mean they already have issues against each other because of the Hardy, edge, and lita thing i mean that could be it or it could be one of edges cronies for all i know it could be drugs i mean i love jeff hardy but he has messed up two times already but the things vickie and edge and mvp said are not true he is not a screw up i think edge is a screw up he tinks he is better than everyone else just because he is the chanpion same for chris jericho wen he was champion
