You need to get on top of this Jeff situation. It doesn’t have an easy fix though. When the guy is home, bored, that’s when he takes a lot of something and operates vehicles into trees. Giving him “time off” isn’t necessarily the best thing for him.
I think you’ve got to sit him down and give him the choice of a full release OR stay with the company in a different capacity. Road agent, ambassador — fuck, Jeff’s obviously never been a talker, but why not trial him as an announcer on Dark or Elevate as a challenge for him? He might have a subtle knack for it. Sometimes the best commentators aren’t anywhere near the best promos.
But he is a tragedy waiting to happen if they either burn him out or let him get bored. It’s a PR nightmare, and it’s not just them that eats it. WWE will be in the news that day too (which is why they’ve tried to babysit him over the years).
If Tony gets out early, he might not have any on him. And if it’s Jeff’s choice to go and kill himself on Impact? That says something about his mentality right there.
