Everyone remembers the controversial TNA Victory Road showdown between Jeff Hardy and Sting.
Few people know about the situation better than Eric Bischoff.
The man who went to the ring to fill Sting in on the impromptu plans for the immediate finish to the pay-per-view main event due to Hardy being in a condition unsafe to work, or really do much of anything, spoke about the subject during a recent installment of his “83 Weeks” podcast.
Featured below is an excerpt from the show where the former WCW Executive Vice President and soon-to-be WWE Hall Of Fame legend touches on this particular topic.
“The overwhelming fog that settled in backstage was disappointment for Sting. I think everybody put themselves in his shoes because it was a horrible position for Sting to have been in at that stage of his career and at his level of stardom. It was embarrassing and undeserved. I think it reflected a lack of professionalism within the entire TNA organization from top to bottom. I think people were genuinely sad for Jeff. Despite the fact he did something very stupid and selfish, people liked Jeff. They had a lot of respect for Jeff. I think it was disappointment for Sting, and sadness for Jeff. It was just really sad more than anything.”
