Jeff compared his current WWE tenure to his original run with the promotion. “More than anything there were a lot of new faces when I came back. But now I have everybody’s respect again and there’s a lot of difference with the spot I’m in now, because you could say I’m one of the top guys and basically I was on my way there before but I never got to grasp it. And that’s probably the biggest difference, is being respected as a top guy and looked at as an older, more mature Jeff Hardy, and still with the good-kind-of-crazy-type mentality and the Rock star kind of appearance. It’s a great spot, and I still feel confident walking into the locker room every day and everybody’s cool, and that’s probably the biggest difference is just feeling like you’re on top and on the way to huge things.”

Hardy has long been one of the most popular wrestlers in WWE, regardless of what position he has occupied on the card. Jeff feels this is due in large part to his dedication toward the fans. “Honestly … I go out of my way all the time at restaurants or whatever. If there’s a crowd out there wanting pictures or autographs - and sometimes it gets really annoying, naturally - but I put up with that a lot, because I remember what it was like to be captivated by seeing somebody that I saw on T.V. and just wanting to meet them and get an autograph. So, I never forget that and always try to go out of my way to make that a cool experience for them, meeting me and what not. I think it really goes a long way; when they go home and chat online about how cool I was and then fans will want to come and see me the next time and it kind of just builds and builds. So, I think you can never go wrong with being cool with the fans, as long as you can put up with the hassle of it.”
