March 25, 2015 - After all the mind games that have been played with Jon Harder and the UAHLU Air Hockey Champion Good News Hughes, UAHLU Commissioner Barry Bettman has forced Jon Harder into working his way through the rankings to EARN himself a shot at the UAHLU Air Hockey title. After defeating "Beary" Bettman on 10/16/14, UAHLU International Advisor Bladimir Blutin has hired Jon's best friend, Ed Scanlon, to play each other in a #6 vs #5 rankings battle!

1/21/15 - The Hardcore BF Podcast Explodes!

1/21/2015

January 21, 2015 – For the first time in seemingly months, Jon Harder has decided to answer his own internal issues regarding this new battle within the Universal Air Hockey League of the Universe.

Ever since being forced to run the gamut by UAHLU Commissioner Barry Bettman, Jon has had to start at the bottom to gain a shot at Good News Hughes’s UAHLU Air Hockey Championship. Just in October of 2014, Jon defeated Commissioner Bettman’s cousin Beary in a close battle to become the #6 contender in the UAHLU rankings.

Now, with his back against the wall, Jon now has to deal with a new authority figure within the league. Bettman’s confidant, Bladimir Blutin, who is currently the International Representative of the UAHLU, announced that he had found an opponent for Jon in December of last year. His opponent: Ed Scanlon of the Hardcore BF Podcast,

Ed Scanlon, a man with STRONG Irish heritage (hence Blutin’s choice to face Jon), is known as a gentle giant in many circles. His easy-going demeanor is showcased on the podcast he is in with Jon.

However, it has been stated that Scanlon has an underlying mean streak when it comes to competitive sports. A Tag Team champion from his days in independent wrestling, Ed hates to lose. When this contest was announced, stories have come forward, in particular from Play-By-Play man ‘Stu Hart’, that Scanlon has been in deep training in the game of air hockey.

‘Stu’ has claimed that Ed is a lethal combination of Al MacInnis and Craig MacTavish. His vicious air hockey game might have put a bit of fear into Jon, but after listening to the Hardway Podcast, he is showing tunnel vision into his battle and has one thing in mind: ruining Good News Hughes’ stranglehold on the UAHLU Air Hockey Champion.

Right here is the audio placed on YouTube setting up the battle between Ed and Jon for the #5 contendership in the UAHLU rankings. Enjoy.

Jon Harder vs Beary Bettman (VIDEO)

10/16/2014

OCTOBER 16, 2014 - After weeks of back and forth head games between the Universal Air Hockey League of the Universe and Jon Harder, the uphill climb for Jon to get a title shot starts today!

Courtesy of the UAHLU, Jon Harder starts his crusade to earn a shot at the UAHLU Air Hockey championship held by Good News Hughes. As per UAHLU Commissioner Barry Bettman, he must play a series of contenders higher than Jon on the OFFICIAL UAHLU rankings (Jon is #7), by beating them one by one.

As per a tweet sent by Mr. Bettman this afternoon:

Hello. @TheJonHarder, tonight you will play your 1st opponent & #6 ranked in the #UAHLU. My cousin, "Beary". Thanks pic.twitter.com/wCOCcDpiQT

Enjoy #7 vs #6!

10/10/14 - Harder Accepts Good News's offer & Bettman TWEETS

10/10/2014

October 10, 2014 – In a move many people consider outlandish, Jon Harder allowed Good News Hughes to come back to the Hardway Podcast a week early.

After the Universal Air Hockey League of the Universe Air Hockey Champion refused to play Jon on September 11, 2014 and took off for a month, Good News was suspended for one month by “the Hardway Podcast Chairwoman” the Barb. However, UAHLU Commissioner Barry Bettman protested that, via Good News Hughes’ personal opinion, Jon did not deserve of a shot the UAHLU Air Hockey title right off the bat. Instead, Jon had to EARN a shot the old fashioned way.

On the Hardway, Jon protested that it was an unjust judgment, especially with the way Good News AWARDED himself the championship. However, the ultimate confrontation happened on episode 151 of the Hardway this past Wednesday.

Good News and Jon had a phenomenal back and forth discussing the situation. The UAHLU Air Hockey champion officially announced how Jon would get a shot at the trophy. Jon, who was officially ranked #7 in the UAHLU Contender’s rankings, would have to defeat everyone in his path to gain a shot at the championship. Jon, as a stickler for non-confrontation, accepted the offer and allowed Good News to return to the show, just to prove a point.

Just last night at 10:00 PM EST, UAHLU Commissioner Bettman had this to say in his first ever Tweet on Twitter @BettmanUAHLU:

Hello. My 1st Tweet is for @TheJonHarder. To play @GoodHughesNews for his title, you have to go face the #6 ranked. Good luck #UAHLU - Barry

So here’s the question: who is Jon going to play? Who does Bettman have for this battle? Only time will tell…

Statement from UAHLU Commissioner Barry Bettman

9/19/2014

SEPTEMBER 19, 2014 – After words trickled down from “the Chairwoman of the Hardway Podcast” the Barb that UAHLU Air Hockey Champion Good News Hughes was suspended for one month without pay, rumors were circulating about what comments would come out from the offices of the Universal Air Hockey League of the Universe. We always felt that it would be from Good News Hughes. THEN…#HardwayHQ received THIS VIDEO in response.

Incredibly, this purported video is from the UAHLU Commissioner himself. BARRY BETTMAN speaks. Since Jon Harder is not worthy of a championship match until he works his way up the rankings and EARNS a shot, he will never face off with Good News.

This situation will only heat up in the coming weeks. What will Jon Harder say about it on the Hardway Podcast?

9/11/14 - Good News vs Harder CANCELLED??

9/11/2014

SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 - Jon Harder announced last night that he would be taking a plane to Topeka, KS to face Universal Air Hockey League of the Universe champion Good News Hughes. Hughes, who claimed that he needed the "home field advantage" and wanted to play in Topeka, refused to come onto the Hardway Podcast last night due to "extra training."

Harder took a flight this afternoon to Topeka to go to the Good News Station to play in the first ever official game of the UAHLU. However, at 9:30 at night, Harder tweeted this breaking news tweet out:

Hey @GoodHughesNews, I can't believe you aren't in Topeka, KS for this #UAHLU @air_hockey title game. You should be ashamed of yourself.

9/6/2014

SEPTEMBER 6, 2014 - After Jon Harder's scathing words toward Good News Hughes on the UAHLU page, both men had some heat with one another prior to recording this Friday's Hardway Podcast. Well, things definitely broke down!

The UAHLU Air Hockey Champion had a press conference LIVE on the show, fielding questions from Lupica and even 'Stu Hart' via satellite, but it wasn't until Jon and Good News had words that everything broke down.

Both men broke down into a fist-fight, which had Miss Monica and the Hardway Podcast Mancave Security team split up. 9/11/14, this war breaks down.

9/3/14 - Jon Harder Comments on Impending Title Show Against Good News Hughes

9/3/2014

TheJonHarder.com staffers caught up with Jon Harder earlier this afternoon regarding his Universal Air Hockey League of the Universe Championship match on 9/11 versus Good News Hughes:

Ever since I came in contact with Good News Hughes, I’ve had to deal with his “delusion of grandeur” mindset. Whether it’s with his Old School’s Cool concept, or the Master of the Chop, or even trying to hijack the National Wrestling Alliance, Hughes is a crazy individual.

Now, he has started his whole Universal Air Hockey League of the Universe concept and is driving me crazy. He genuinely believes he is the greatest air hockey of all time and has created his own trophy to solidify that. Furthermore, he has enlisted a man by the name of Barry Bettman to go along with this insane concept.

Good News, I will play you for the UAHLU Air Hockey Championship on September 11, 2014. I promise you this: I will end this ridiculous idea once and for all. You have been a dreamer your whole life. Now, I will end your dream and melt down that ridiculous trophy into a necklace and wear it around you consistently.

Time to wake up, Tim. The first matchup of the Universal Air Hockey League of the Universe will be the last. See you on 9/11.
