First off...I want to address the "white trash" comments earlier...now I'm white and totally not offended...but if the roles where reversed and I had said something similar about an ethnic race...Id be in jail by now. Like I said doesn't offend me so I won't dwell but I thought Id put that out there.
On to the Hardys. I don't believe they are drama queens. For me they are two performers whos paths have seperated over the years. Firstly, Id like tot tackle the issue of Matt Hardy. As a wrestler, his mat skills are really good but also he does bring an arial aspect which breaks it up and leads for very good wrestling matches. I personally thought before his injury. Him and MVP had really entertaining matches (Something of a rareity in WWE as of late). About his microphone skills. They are never going to be the best and they never where. Is there worse...ofcourse...examples being Bobby Lashley (the highest profile that came to mind). I think tho, for me personally, I noticed an improvement in his mic skills whne working his programme with MVP. He seemed more confident in delivery and it came across in his tone and speed of voice. Also there was a post earlier that mentioned how Matts black mark was his personal problem with Lita which he brought to work with him. I would personally like to say as both a Hardy fan and wrestling fan. His fued with Edge was fantastic. Mainly because it told a story and you could see how personal it was. The cage match between them was incredible. I think this too should be a gold star infact against Matt Hardys name for professionalism. How many of you's can say you's would have went out there with the guy who you seen as a friend, stole your girlfriend, betrayed your trust and still make sure he was safe in matches? That would take a true test of character and only a really mature, grown-up could have done such things. Also on another note, Ive only started reading but Matt Hardys blogs on MySpace...Im led to believe its the second most read blog on the entire of MySpace...they are a great read. Very well written and some really good points, put over well.
Finally onto Jeff Hardy. For me, one of the few reason for turning into Raw in late 2007/early 2008. Spot monkey?...ofcourse...does millions of fans love him for it?...ofcourse...Did he make the company millions by doing it?....ofcourse...
Away from Jeff Hardy personally for a moment and on to business...and I state the word business. He's a performer who does a great job. He isn't the greatest mat worker, hell he isn't the greatest ariel worker either but what he does. His style, his gimmick....it draws. The dollars(I live in Scotland and over here mega amount of pounds) are going in the cash registers for his merchandise. I was lucky enough to meet Jeff Hardy in October last year and he was a true gentlemen. The guy got off a plane and rushed straight to a signing he wasn't even supposed to do(Cade and Murdoch were scheduled). I admired him for this and the P.R. lady was rushing everyone, no time for this or that. Jeff just said, these people have lined up for hours. Autographs, photographs...I don't care how long it takes....(He was in the main event that night anyways so he obviously knew he didnt have to rush
) From a business point of view, he done the right thing. He doesn't want to dissapoint his fans and fans of the WWE in general.
Personally, I guess you could say by taking drugs he was letting down the fans but then again who are we to second guess why he done it? We don't even know what drugs it was. I personally have never taken a drug or a cigarette but I know plenty of people who take drugs. I think every one is immediately associating drugs as being steroids subconsciecly but lets face it. Jeff Hardy...steriods...hes stick insect
Not saying I condone it but say for example it was a line of cocaine...does that merit all the hate he is getting? Im guessing half the people who can afford it have. Just this man, I think sometimes we forget he is a human being, just lifes hard and by this Im not just saying travelling on the road...just life in general is hard. He got suspended and accepted it. For me thats punishment enough. He will get depushed which is fair and he misses his Wrestlemania pay out. I hope he comes back refreshed and ready to go again. On the note of a house...not having insurance...its a personal decision you live and die by but doesnt make you irresponsible. How many people buy something, get offered extended warranty and turn it down? Yeh thats right about 90%. The fact what kind of house/vehicle/trailer he lives in. Live were your happy thats what I say!
To finish up...I hope Matt returns soon and continues his fued with MVP. I hope Jeff comes back and him and Chris Jericho have a good program. And finally if your down with that....Ive got just 2 words for ya...
