TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Jeff Hardy, was in an interview recently, talking about his expectations and the people who he was inspired by.

When Jeff was asked about the people who inspired him, he said “More than anybody, I would have to say Sting and Ultimate Warrior. With Sting’s charisma and the Ultimate Warrior’s insanity, those two combined just pretty much inspired me back in the day to paint my face and act strange.”

Jeff expects to remain as the Champion for as long as he can. He says that 2012 went far better than what he had expected it to be. He followed up by saying “I’m setting another goal for myself for 2013 and that is at Bound for Glory I want to perform a song from my bands album live on the PPV and hopefully I can achieve that.”

When the topic of CM Punk came up, he said “It was great working with CM Punk, we have different beliefs in terms of our outlook on life but he is so talented it’s crazy, we had many great matches together and it was a pleasure to work with him.”

On the topic of Vince McMahon and Dixie Carter, Jeff said “I love Vince McMahon, I don’t have anything bad to say about him, we get along, we have had our ups and downs but he was a great boss. With Dixie it is more about family, like my daughter actually knows her kids and it is much more family like here in TNA and that is kind of what I like.” He went on to say “Naturally the schedule is a lot more laid back so whenever I can have more time with my family that is crazy important. I think Dixie is a lot more personal whereas Vince is more professional.”
