Jeff Hardy To Smackdown

Jeff Hardy To Smackdown​

Carlito & Santino Marell vs. Finlay & Hornswoggle. The Midget and Finaly won. Pinning Santino, not Carlito. Dunno why. They get Jeff Hardy. Another one of my picks. They want to push him as a main eventer. But there was no way Triple H was ever going to drop the title to him. But somebody of Edge's caliber would. It's an intresting move. Matt must be kicking himself. He's just won his big singles title. Now his more popular brother is moving to his brand, and probably taking his push and fans.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

SummerSlam Main event here we come. Good move though, really. There wasnt much else for him on RAW, as I cant EVER see him going over Trips or Cena, and a feud between he and Edge would be SICK to say the least. I can see TLC, or a ladder match for the WHC in the future, if Hardy doesnt fuck it up. This could be huge for him. I wouldnt be totally shocked to see him take it at SummerSlam.

 

[Shocky]

Again, gotta like the pick here. NO complaints. Personally I think the ECW title is perfectly suited for Jeff if they are still treating it as a legit title, this all but confirms to me that the WWE doesn't see the ECW any higher then the IC belt at this point.

Edge vs. Jeff Hardy in the future. I like this. I think Matt Hardy is a pussy, and jobbed and got his ass handed to him by Edge in 2005, and went about his way. Heard any shoots by Jeff Hardy about the situation? Mr. Hardy isn't too fond of Mr. Copeland still. The potential of Jeff Hardy vs. Edge is pretty good.

Plus, I'm liking this new and improved more humble Jeff Hardy. The comparisons to Shawn Michaels at this point is fair. I'm happy with this move. As Jake said, Trips isn't jobbing to Jeff Hardy (oh buts Shocky, he put him over at Armageddon by getting rolled up). Edge will.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Triple H is just too big of a star to put over Jeff. He's not done it once, in all the matches they've had. People might say otherwise. But it's a fact. Also the way Triple H beat him two weeks ago proved that he's nowhere near his league.

I'm also looking forward to a Hardy/Hardy match. Should be great. Certainly with a freshly heel Matt. I just don't see him staying face now. Which is great. Version. 1 has needed to return for a while.

 

[Shocky]

Well you have Helms, Hardy, Hardy, and Moore all on the same show now. If for some god awful reason you have Edge drafted to Raw, you have potential for a kick ass heel faction of guys that feel they have been slighted by the WWE. Now, you would need a credible face for these guys to face, but the potential of a stable of these guys would be nice.

Plus a Matt Hardy heel turn with Helms and Moore at his side vs. Jeff Hardy would be pretty bad ass in my opinion. Here me now guys, because it's a breakthough, I'm a Jeff Hardy fan at this point.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I'm still on the fence about Hardy. He did really impress me in his feud with Randy. He didn't lack anything other than a decent haircut at that point. And his match with Jericho when he lost the title really impressed me. But I still can't get over how awful he was for about 8 years pervious.

I truly believe that Smackdown will be the making of him though. I'm not against liking Hardy. Actually I couldn't give a shit who the champions are. Put the title on him now for all I care.

 

[Diablosbomb]

I'm mad that Hardy left. At first I was happy because Trips would keep him down, but now with Trips going there too Hardy is just gonna get screwed over on the B show not on the A show. This sucks, they completely killed Raw with this draft seeing as Raw lost Jeff, Trips, J.R. Kennedy, and Umaga and got what in return? Just Batista, he is the only good one coming over. This Draft was major gay and WWE just pushing itself closer and closer to losing to the piece of shit that is TNA.

 

[relik]

Best move of the night. Out of everyone that got drafted he has the most to gain from this. The only problem is with HHH on SD! as lead face it could def go against Hardy. I would love to see a Jeff and Edge fued. That would grab massive ratings due the animosity he still has toward edge. I am very psyched to start watching SD! again.

 

[rage780]

i can see it already what will happen in tomorrow taping of sd. edge will fulfill his promise of "taking care" of matt hardy. it will probably be a steel cage match with a special guest referee probably chavo guerro. 2 others will be hiding under the ring. once the bell tolls it becomes a 4-on-1 handicap beatdown of matt hardy. matt will left bloody and bruise up. jeff will be incense by edge cowardly action.

 

[Monkey_Mania]

Very excited about this move as I am slowly becoming a Jeff Hardy fan. Then they moved Trips to smackdown and shot all of my hopes for him winning the title away. Then again he may actually win the title without having to go through Triple H at all. The potential Jeff Hardy/Edge Summerslam fued is very intriguing. If they do go about it this was I can tell you I wouldnt be surprised to see Hardy win it. Then he would probably go on to have a lengthy fued with A heel Triple H.

 

[jounint]

You see this is why I sort of wanted for Jeff Hardy to move to SmackDown, until Triple H was moved too... Still, I hope Michael Hayes (Lead member of SmackDown's Creative team) Puts Jeff over big time, considering he was pushing for Jeff Hardy to win the WWE title back in January against Randy Orton, but it didn't happen. Any who, Hayes is big on Jeff, and I wouldn't be surprised if he started a program with Edge, (That's if Edge retains, which is highly unlikely at this point.) I was thinking that he could feud with Edge, leading up to a title match, where a returning undertaker could help Jeff win the gold, and you know, screwing Edge out of his title, then after their rematch Jeff wins cleanly.

 

[Gavel]

Honestly, I think Edge will sleaze himself a win, and Trips will drop the title to Cena, thus, opening a good spot for a Trips heel turn, and giving a Jeff Edge story line, which, in my opinion, would be a great match for maybe Summerslam. Jeff and Edge have good chemistry together, plus, those 2, steel cage, TLC, hell even a good old no DQ match wouldn't be to bad.

 

[DJ]

This is Jeffs Last Chance.If he screws up on smackdown(he is one of the key players for viewers now that its on a different smaller channel) he will NEVER EVER become big and he'll become a Mid Carder for Life.I think Jeff will enjoy SD! alot more than Raw tough.Jeff Is sorta used to the laid back style that smackdown is accustomed to.Theirs no politics backstage so young Jeffery can enjoy himself.Like Rey Mysterio this opens alot of match possiblties.................Hardy vs Hardy?Hardy vs MVP?Hardy vs Gurrero?This get the DJ seal of approval.

Well, with ECW beginning to tour with RAW instead of Smackdown!, kinda ruins the chances of Hardy v. Hardy and Hardy v. Chavo, since both of them are on ECW. I think Jeff could have good matches with either of these two, but, with the ending of the touring together, it'd have to happened pretty fast.

And your comment of no politicing, in my opinion, with Trips now on SD!, kinda moves some of the politicing over to Smackdown!.

 

[Father:_Polley]

I think Jeff Hardy moving to SD gives them a small proportion of the ratings they will clearly lose from the loss of Rey Mysterio. With Helms returning soon and Moore still there, these three could form an impressive alliance.

As for a title shot, well it all depends on who wins their match at Night of Champions as to whoever is the logical target for him to go after as a Champion. If Edge wins, then JH could go straight into the number one slot (although Kennedy and HHH may want in as well). HHH would present a tougher task to have drop the belt to hardy

 

[HellBoundPower]

As with Matt, I see this as kind of a step back for Jeff. He was pushing Main Event status on Raw, and now he's on SmackDown. Granted he will probably be in the Main Event, he was in the same spot on Raw. This is good for SmackDown though, as it will help with the ratings. I just think Jeff could've been the WWE Champion sometime real soon if he stayed on Raw. Either way I see him with a World Title sometime in the next year.

 

[One&Only]

When seen that Jeff Hardy was drafted I was very excited cause now Jeff Hardy could work his to the top on a fresh new show and finally become a World Champion and at that time there was no doubt in my mind the Jeff Hardy would get a chance to shine cause a very big supporter of the Hardy's is the head writer on Smackdown and I am talking about Michael Hayes so with those odds on his side there is no way in hell that Jeff Hardy can't be a mian eventer.

 

[chasingamy]

With this pick, I really went through a range of emotions last night – from shock, to joy, to disappointment, and finally frustration. I just didn’t see the guy getting one of if not the biggest pops on Raw going anywhere, especially since he just returned like a month ago. Then I thought about how Smackdown needs star power and Jeff should help the show’s ratings. And I do enjoy Jeff’s matches. Plus I was looking forward to the Hardys teaming together again on occasion. My joy turned to disappointment when Matt got drafted to ECW.

And then it hit me - what Hardy’s coming to Smackdown means to guys like MVP who seemingly have it all going for them and are so close to breaking out of the mid-card and ascending the main event realm. Now guys like MVP and Kennedy will have to wait even longer for their world title shots.

 

[Punk13]

This really sucks though not only did he get drafted to SD! his brother got drafted to ecw. Hardy is my favorite wrestler of all time. and to see him leave the big brand and go to the minor leagues piss's me off. Now his might be a big fish in a small pond. But the only good thing about him moving to SD was that the hardys could reunight well that wont happen now. My least favorite draft pick

You Sir, need to realize how insane you sound right now. You're not just destroying an entire Brand in claiming that it isn't good enough for Jeff Hardy. But you're completely overkilling who Jeff Hardy, or the Hardys even are.

Smackdown has a World Heavyweight Championship (it also technically has a W.W.E. Championship, as I type this) so its doing pretty damn good as far as Brands with World titles go. On Raw, you had a very crowded Main Event scene, with the likes of John Cena, Triple H., Shawn Michaels & Randy Orton. That was a scene that wasn't likely to change anytime soon.

Now, Hardy jumps to the "minor leagues" as you put it, and to be perfectly honest has a 10x better chance at becoming a World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Edge.. than he ever had, in the likelyhood of him defeating John Cena.

The only thing thats going to "stop" Jeff Hardy from becoming a World Champion on Smackdown, is the entire rest of the now over-talented roster. Edge, The Undertaker, M.V.P., Mr. Kennedy, Big Show, Triple H. and more.. all are very heavy favorites to remain in that Main Event scene. Hardy might of got by with leaping off things to impress, but now hes gonna have to prove he can do it in the ring as well.. because I promise you, all those above mentioned names will be waiting, and loving, to take Mr. Hardy's spot in the Main Event picture.

Yeah, well, how long did it take for Hardy to finally get out of the mid-card status? Hardy has been around longer then MVP and Kennedy combined (or close to it) and you are disappointed that he is going to possibly hold these guys back? Sure, Hardy may hinder their rise to title contention, but if Hardy isn't contending for the title himself, think of the great matches and feuds he could have with these two guys alone. I think Smackdown gives Jeff a lot of great options...the best being a title feud with Edge to gain the belt eventually...It really is all going to come down to what they do with Triple H on Smackdown though. I guess we will see in due time.

 

[Rusty]

A great move. Jeff will definately benefit from the move and he has a better chance at winning a world title. I think Jeff should win the title off Edge at the end of year personally.

Who knows, Hardy could even win the 2009 Royal Rumble. My only concern is that he might look a little out of place as Smackdown has loads of heavyweights including Triple H, Undertaker, Big Daddy V, Umaga and Khali. But if Rey Mysterio won a world title on Smackdown, I can't see why Jeff Hardy can't do it.

 

[chasingamy]

Yes but his first years in WWE were spent in the tag division and we’re comparing their time as singles competitors. Jeff received his first mid-card push in 2002, however it was short lived as he was let go then took a year off from wrestling. Next he went to TNA (I can’t really speak to that as I wasn’t watching TNA at that time) and again he was let go. Jeff returned to WWE in 2006 and from then to now is when he is considered a mid-carder IMO. That’s also around the same time MVP debuted, and Kennedy the year before, so all three have been mid-carders roughly the same amount of time in the WWE. If you include his time in TNA, then yeah he’s got close to two years on them.

And why exactly has it taken Jeff so long? He has a history of being unreliable and drug use. He’s been let go by both companies. Currently, he has two suspensions against him and will have to prove himself once again. Those things have a lot to do with why it’s taken him so long.

Also I’m not totally convinced that he’s “finally” broken though just yet. Yes, he had a respectable feud with Orton, a WWE title shot, and a good showing in the Chamber, but upon his return from suspension a month ago, once again he was feuding with Umaga and curtain-jerking at One Night Stand. I still consider him a mid-carder, albeit he’s definitely in the upper echelon of the mid-card.

you are disappointed that he is going to possibly hold these guys back? Sure, Hardy may hinder their rise to title contention but if Hardy isn't contending for the title himself, think of the great matches and feuds he could have with these two guys alone. I think Smackdown gives Jeff a lot of great options.

I don’t mean to take anything away from Hardy. I like Jeff a lot and am pulling for the guy. I have no problem with him in the main-event and want to see him get a title run if for no other reason than to see my daughter mark out like crazy.

My issue isn’t with Jeff but rather WWE’s decision to put him, MVP, and Kennedy all on the same show. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I’d be willing to bet there are others that would like to see MVP and Kennedy get their title shots as well and not another two or three years from now. And MVP and Kennedy don’t have those same strikes against them that Hardy does.

I can’t disagree with the potential for great matches and feuds involving the three, however in terms main-event/world title opportunities I’m not so sure that Smackdown is the right place for Hardy what with HHH, Edge, and Taker in the picture for the foreseeable future. I think Jeff stood a better chance staying on Raw as it’s ME scene isn’t quite as stacked at the moment. On Raw, there’s Cena and Batista, HBK but I don’t see him really challenging for the world title at this point in his career, and Orton’s out with injury for the next couple of months.

I, like many apparantly had mixed emotions about this and this happening. There are so many ways that Jeff could go on Smackdown. As a side not, there are as an article recently on why JR was moves and that was because Vince is the boss and he can do what he wants, even though JR wanted to stay on Raw. Interestingly enough, Jeff wanted to stay on Raw too. Although I personally don't belive that would have been the case with Jeff's stats, it is an interesting side note to ponder on.

ok, on to the main point. My mixed emotions on this, they first came on the actualy moving. I though that Jeff would have been better off on Raw and in a fued with Cena or Trips depending on who won the title. When Jeff was moves to SD! I though that might be okay, because he could enter a fued with Edge have have the belt soon enough. My confidence was also boosted on that when I heard about SD!'s head writer being big on Jeff. Sounds like he will definately get the belt.

The downside, when HHH was drafted I thought that would block the way, and depending on the outcome of Cena vs HHH at NOC it may. If HHH gets to the Heavyweight title before Hardy then it may be harder for Hardy to get the belt. Although if HHH doesn't get involved, all the better.

Whatever happens I will still have mixed feelings about his move, but I wish for his run with the belt. That will definately make me tune in. (Although I would anyway but it will mean more. )

 

[Ad!]

I think whichever of the 'near main eventers' get the push (Kennedy, MVP, Hardy) it will be good for the show.

Hardy/Kennedy/MVP vs Edge = Great matches
If not they can feud with Triple H, Umaga, Shelton or even each other until they get their turn.
