I feel bad for the guy, and as an addict myself I can sympathize. Eventually you have to let them sort themselves out and quit allowing them to fail upwards. No reason to stop if everything works itself out after.
He’s going to be at a con by me in a couple of months. The child in me wants to meet my childhood hero. The adult in me is just sad
I’m not an addict, but other than that, you mostly said what I came here to say. Theres a lot of people in wrestling who are bad people. At their core, dirty rotten people that are idolized because they wore some latex and pretended to fight on tv.
With Jeff, he’s never come off as a bad person. He comes off as a person who’s the victim of his own actions. Actions that he’s not always in control of.
I do think he should have his drivers liscense revoked. He’s shown a 20 year habbit of not being in control. We shouldn’t wait until this becomes a Sunny situation.
But as a person it’s not like Micheal Hayes, where you detest the person. You just feel sorry for Jeff. You wish he could get better, but you know that he probably won’t. His personality type is that he craves thrills. And part of the thrill is not being in control…and thats the sad part. Knowing that rehab won’t help, because it’s not a physical addiction, it’s a mental dependancy hardwired into his personality.
