Matt jumping brands is silly but at least he's on the brand that offers him the greatest chance of success now. Part of me liked him on RAW to get away from Jeff but RAW is so stacked with the big name talent that rarely loses. Unless the WWE had firmly decided to get their push machine behind Matt the best he could hope for was another U.S. title reign. On SD he'll at least be allowed to just have plenty of great matches against great opponents. A feud with Rey that leads to an IC title win could be a fabulous start.
100% agreed, Matt had no place to go on Raw the main event was too stacked for him, I think a feud with Rey would be fantastic for both men. It gives Rey a decent mid-card feud and it makes Matt Hardy look good, Remember their feud in 2003-4 it was fantastic, I'm sure they could pull of a match of that caliber again.
I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. I'm so sick and tired of people talking about wrestlers getting fat. It's especially bad with the women but this case is silly as well. How much weight has Matt Hardy put on? It can't be more than 5-10 pounds and people are talking like he's Mark Henry.
Again I agree, true he has put on a few pounds but he is not exactly at a dangerous weight is he? The fact is even at this weight he is pretty agile in the ring, just because he doesnt have a 6-pack does not make him a bad wrestler.
He keeps getting injured? The guy wrestled each and every week with his cast on. Heck, it's part of his gimmick now. He turned a negative into a positive Orton Jr. style. Your points are very exaggerated.
Exactly plus he isnt exactly on Kennedy levels of injurys. I think he has had about 5 injurys in 15 years. which If you look at the matches he has competed in is pretty decent. The fact is Matt Hardy has a passion for the business. He could have just sat and waited for his hand to heal up but no he wanted to wrestle, as long as he has the passion to come back from his injurys stronger than ever
And you second post talking about Matt breaking kayfabe online... really? No one cares. The WWE doesn't pay that internet stuff any attention unless it becomes massively detrimental to their overall plans. Showing that two real life brothers don't actually hate each other doesn't fall into that category.
Again agreed, Unless he legitimatly fucks up a storyline then there should be no problem with this.
You're right. He's not as good as Jeff. He's better. As an all around wrestler who can have good matches with most any opponent Matt is much better than Jeff. He doesn't have the same charismatic it factor that his younger brother does but he is better than Jeff from a technical aspect in every way.
Nor does he have the selling ability Jeff has, but Matt Hardy is the better overall wrestler, people say he is boring in the ring but thats just bullshit. Matt is just as entertaining as John Cena and HHH, its just differant styles of working a match. I dont remember a bad Matt Hardy match up as he always makes his opponent and himself look good.
Now you're just lying. Matt got molten heat with the V1 gimmick. As a face the crowd always popped like crazy when "OOOOOH YEAH" hit. He didn't need Jeff or the Hardyz music. His pop was slightly bigger with Jeff, no question. But he's never had a problem getting over without Jeff. Try again.
Matt got pretty good heat as V1 but you guys have to remember that it was a differant type of heel that Matt was playing, back then it was a comedy heel which he played perfectly, even though he has allegedly no charisma. His current heel run drew heat as well and again I think he played the part of the whiney heel perfectly. As a face he didnt need Jeff to get over, he was pretty over when Jeff was in TNA he had constant good feuds and massive pops, what more could he do?
Great post here Snow I agreed with everything, Rep for you Sir
