Jeff Hardy was the most recent guest on Chris Jericho’s “Talk Is Jericho” podcast. In this excerpt, Jeff responds to being asked if the “Broken” gimmick will ever be seen on WWE television:
“No [there was no talk of using the Broken gimmick in WWE], because we did the Ring Of Honor pay-per-view. That’s when we got the whole cease and desist letter; they said if we use it, ‘we’re going to sue you’ and sue Ring Of Honor. I think Dish Network, they didn’t air the pay-per-view because of the threat or whatever because it said the Broken Universe characters were specifically developed for Matt and Jeff Hardy and that is so far from the [truth].”
“Yeah, [the Hardys developed the characters] and even Billy Corgan. I love Billy, man, he was right out there with us, man, throughout two long nights of filming. Yeah, yeah, he almost owned it and I think, honestly, I’d probably still be there now if it still would have worked out. It’s cool to hear people chant [‘Brother Nero’] even here, hopefully, one of these days, I will emerge as The Brother Nero.”
