It's like being honest with the world, people that provided me with an incredible living over the years, you know, my fans, the WWE Universe, so yeah I am open-minded to anything. If I feel comfortable with it, I roll with it, man. I've never felt uncomfortable with anything they've ever pitched to me," Jeff Hardy said.
