Vince McMahon's Backstage Reaction To Jeff Hardy-TNA

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

While Vince McMahon was no-selling Jeff Hardy appearing on TNA's three-hour iMPACT! broadcast last week backstage, it's been said that he was "privately seething" over the former WWE Champion's decision to jump ship to the competition. As noted earlier, WWE promptly removed Hardy from its opening video montage. Many others have been removed as well.

WWE officials were hoping his legal issues would be settled in time for a match with CM Punk at WrestleMania, but with those plans now out the window, they'll likely go with Punk vs. Rey Mysterio in a Hair vs. Mask Match as we reported Monday here on the website.
