Weekly reporter Art Tavana about the future of his wrestling career<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Matt and I are doing some great stuff in TNA right now, so I&#8217;ll be happy to stay here until the end if that&#8217;s how it works out,&#8221; Hardy told Tavana, who followed around Hardy throughout the &#8220;Gathering of the Juggalos&#8221; weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;End&#8221; could mean when Hardy&#8217;s TNA contract expires in February 2017, or &#8220;end&#8221; could mean the end of his wrestling career, which seems to be drawing close. Hardy was noticeably hurt and struggled to get around throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everything hurts. I&#8217;ve had a broken elbow, shoulder, leg,&#8221; Hardy said before his wife, Beth interrupted: &#8220;I&#8217;ve taken him to the hospital so many times.&#8221; Hardy added, &#8220;She takes care of me, man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What keeps Hardy going, apparently, is a wild-idea for his WrestleMania send-off against Undertaker.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Man, I want to Swanton off the top of the cell, onto the commentary table,&#8221; said Hardy. &#8220;Then, I want to climb the cell, cut the f&#8212;&#8212;\u00a0cage, when Taker&#8217;s back in the ring, and Swanton though the cage, miss, and then Tombstone 1-2-3.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Far away from the WrestleMania stage, Hardy wrestled in a tent in the carnival atmosphere of the &#8220;Gathering,&#8221; where he suffered a nasty neck injury.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-401272402\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;My neck, man. I felt like I got knocked out. But that was fun. It&#8217;s probably just a stinger,&#8221; Hardy downplayed. Beth tweeted shortly thereafter: &#8220;My husband can barely walk &amp; can\u2019t turn his head after his match last night. It\u2019s straight to the doctor when we land.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If Hardy did consider returning to WWE in 2017, he would have to pass\u00a0a WWE physical and pre-screening tests. More hard bumps, whiplash, and potential concussions would make it difficult for him to be cleared. But, it sounds like he&#8217;s content if his match with Undertaker remains one of the many creative thoughts in his head.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3615198837\"><div id=\"pwtor-1693444048\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Jeff Hardy wants to finish his career in a Hell in a Cell match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania.
