-Josh Matthews is with CM Punk. Punk will ask a question of his own, to the crowd. After everything he said, telling the truth, are you still behind Jeff Hardy? They cheer. He takes the mic and goes into the crowd. He asks again and they cheer Hardy louder. So if you are a Jeff Hardy fan, wearing a diabolical arm sleeve, stand up and make some noise. They do and Punk asks the cameraman to get a good shot. Punk says the truth is that he doesn't blame them for supporting Hardy. He blames their parents. Or, to be real, more likely parent. It's obviously a single parent situation, like how Jeff grew up. The parent is afraid of the relationship with the child failing like their marriage did, that they will allow anything. And the fact that you let the kids look up to Jeff, shows that they don't care about their kids. The parents do not teach them the proper way to live. It starts with a Hardy t-shirt, goes to a Hardy shirt, then cigarettes, and then whiskey and marijuana. And then street drugs and then rummaging through mom's purse for her prescription medications. Parents, save your kids, teach them the right way. Just say yes, yes to a straight edge and drug free America, to a true world champion, thank you!
