Jeff Hardy’s net worth is reportedly $12 million, and Tony Khan will likely grow that number with a nice AEW paycheck.

Jeff Hardy was part of the WWE’s Attitude Era, which had its share of controversy. The former WWE star D-Lo Brown recently recalled a segment on the July 6, 1998 episode of WWE RAW which saw D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, and Jason Sensation) do a parody of the Nation of Domination (The Rock, Ron Simmons, Mark Henry, D’Lo Brown, and Owen Hart). It has been regarded as one of the most infamous segments in WWE history.

The parody featured members of DX utilizing blackface to represent their counterparts. It was previously noted how the segment was pulled from WWE Network last year for X-Pac parodying Mark Henry while wearing blackface, as per the belief of many fans.

D-Lo Brown opens up on the in-ring segment

Brown recently appeared in an interview with Chris Van Vliet. He talked about the segment. The former WWE star stated that it wasn’t something they were concerned with back in the day. However, he added that in retrospect, they would have skipped the detail of the blackface:

There have been a lot of stories out there. I can tell you that none of us had any real concerns about it. In retrospect, we could have done that segment without the blackface, and I wish we had. It would have been just as good. I wished we changed that and we didn’t.

Brown said that he’s not a fan of the particular promo, though it was the way for everyone to start a heated feud back in 1998. He added that while most of the time the professional wrestlers focused on the feuds, they ended up overlooking the most obvious problem with how these promos were designed.
He added:

Looking back with 2022 eyes, not a fan. In 1997-98 eyes, it was a way of getting these two factions to war because we knew both of our factions were over enough or connected with the fans enough that we could go out there and draw money and fill houses with it and put up ratings on TV. We look at the individual matchups we could have and that’s what piqued our curiosity. People look past the obvious elephant in the room.”

D’Lo noted that:

“You couldn’t pitch that idea three years later. You’d get laughed out of the building three years later.”
