[quote name='Sporadic']I don't think that's right.
Yeah, the guy should have alot of money but just look at wrestlers in the past/present. The number of wrestlers that actually invest their money is very small. Not only that but MATT isn't asking for money, he's asking their fans to mail them Hardy Boyz crap/clothes/etc to replace Jeff's. That's not a crazy thing to ask for.[/quote]
He did ask for clothes for Jeff and Beth. That's pathetic. I don't care about what wrestlers do with their money as a part of a larger pattern. Christian didn't blow his money on meth. JBL knows what to do with his money. Just because the *typical* wrestler blows hundreds of thousands of dollars per year doesn't mean they deserve any sympathy at all. It's their top-1%-of-all-income-earners-in-the-US income to use or abuse. Hardy gets no sympathy because it's what we expect wrestlers to do with their money.
You also have to think, he's a thirty year old former (heavy) drug addict who's body is falling apart from all the abuse. It's not surprising to hear he overlooked something like insurance on his trailer.
You're
ing bonkers if you think that. He didn't overlook a Hardyz shrine; he didn't overlook a full recording studio, or a dirt bike track. He never forgot to do his drugs. His lifestyle shows that he most certainly is a "live for the moment" guy with no idea of what it's like to be a responsible, grown-up adult - and if you think for a second that the thought of insurance NEVER passed through his mind, or even more unlikely, that an insurance agent NEVER approached Hardy about the idea of insuring his home, then you're deluded.
I'm also pretty sure missing out on the biggest payday of the year and having everything he owns destroyed in the same week is either going to be his wake up call or it's going to kill him. Either way, I don't think it's right to joke about his situation or try to stand on some type of higher moral ground.
Please. What part of being fired from WWE the last time for refusing to go to rehab, of the irresponsibility implicit in not having homeowners' insurance, of giving up possibly TWICE, through his own decisions, the kind of job (the fame, the money, the travel, the rats) we would KILL for (quite literally, in some of our cases, I'm sure) - leads you to the conclusion that he's going to "wake up"? He hasn't yet, it's quite clear. He had the brass ring, to use that old metaphor, and readily gave it up. He left WWE two weeks ago, AGAIN believing he has no real problem with the substances he's using.
His psychological profile is pretty easy to put together: risk-seeking, no concept of delayed gratification, no concept of risk. He's very much like a juvenile delinquent in that regard.
