Should TNA give a Jeff Hardy heel turn a try?

Occasional Pre-Show
Before you read this I just want everybody to know I'm not saying they should turn him heel or turn him heel now anyway. I'm basically just saying I think it would be something new and unpredictable. Also this is my first thread enjoy reading.

Well you know as wrestling fans we love surprises but what a surprise it would be if TNA turned Hardy heel. I mean TNA turned Sting heel a few weeks back but lets be honest that wasn't that big of a deal and I could see it coming. On the other side lets talk about Jeff Hardy he's still kind of young, over with the fans, appeals to younger audience, and above all his really loved by his fans. Just imagine how people would feel if he turned heel it would be very unpredictable because he's the last person you would think to turn heel. I think next to Cena, Hardy could be next to make a impactable heel like Hogan did back in WCW. Sure he's had heel runs before and they sucked but that was in WWE in TNA it could be different. I say sometime in the future whenever Hardy and Moore do go out for the tag titles (which I hear they are) pair him up with Raven(I think both Hardy and Raven style sort of parallell their both kind of dark and reckless). Let the storyline be something like Hardy and Moore can't win matches are or not on the same page and Raven comes in and guides the both of them. It could sort of be like Raven's Flock back in WCW only Raven well only wrestle occasional. He would be more like the mentor and mouthpiece like Flair is to Styles. And I say let a guy like Abyss turn on Hogan and join them to make him more monsterious. Their you would have it Hardy could be TNA World Champ, Abyss Global Champ, and Raven & Moore Tag Team Champ or Moore X-Division Champ. Maybe mines wasn't so great the way I wrote it but if you think its a good idea tell me the way you would do it or if you think its bad just say way.
 
Of course I love the flock idea...

But, turning Hardy heel would be bad for business... He's the biggest draw they have and him turning heel probably wouldn't work well... Raven would get all the heat and Hardy would still get face reactions...

Plus, when Hogan turned back in WcW he was already stale and not near the top of his popularity...
 
Jeff as heel would be terrible.Just not going to work at all.Jeff is a major draw, he has a big fan base and every little kid loves his high flying moves.Turning Jeff heel wouldn't do well for his character and his conection to the fans.I mean when his music hits and he comes out he really gets the fans going and its like a rock star entrance.If TNA do turn Jeff heel it would be a grave and terrible decision.
 
Jeff Hardy was, until TNA got hold of him, the most over face in American wrestling, why would you turn him heel? It might be intresting in several years time when he'd fulfilled all of his options as a face, but until then it'd be worthless.

His supposed drawing ability is negligible, he's not not doing much for TNA at the moment. But it'd still be a terrible idea to turn him. But with this being TNA, he'll have turned multiple times by the end of the year/month.
 
TNA, if you have an intelligent thought on storyline and character development...please don't turn Hardy...

Why? Because, Jeff Hardy is a huge draw as a face. He came back to TNA when he was Main Eventing WWE!! The fans gave him a huge pop (ovation) when he returned. Why screw with the fan favorite now? There are plenty of heels right now in the Main Event. In fact if I miss a week or so it gets confusing to remember who is playn the "bad guy". WCW had the same problem with character development.

I would love to see what Hardy would look like as a Heel. Honestly. But right now isn't a great time. On one side we have "The PheNature One" AJ Styles Flair-great Face and not too shabby Heel. Another Jeff Jarrett, who is and will always be a better Heel than Face. Jeff Hardy,unlike Jarrett, is a completely believable Face. Styles is an OK heel, and Abyss/Hogan is...Abyss/Hogan. Jeff Hardy has what it takes to Sell Out Arenas; to be the guy everyone cheers on. Why mess with that? Just to put him in an angle for 3 or so weeks and then stop the Heel push?

Agree completely, turning Hardy heel would be a dumb move considering how popular he is. They should never have turned AJ heel either it just doesn't suit him.
 
As everyone else before me has said, turning jeff hardy heel would be a bad idea. But turning off that a bit, you just kind of moved off your original topic to the flock idea. you didn't really state how he would turn heel. Just saying...
 
That is a horrible idea,
one of the main reasonss they signed him is because of his major popularity. Turning him heel would be a waste of money. and he issn't known for being a heel. when hogan turned heel in WCW, that was crazy, but if jeff hardy turns heel in TNA, there would just be a carbon copy of the last episode of monday night wars
 
Turning Jeff heel will be a bad Idea, besides is to early. The TNA crowd loves Jeff Hardy as a face and by making Jeff do a heel turn some of the fans might not like it. And TNA might be scare and they might think that they will lose money, Jeff Hardy is a huge draw as a face he's starting to sell merchandise and giving TNA some money. So Honestly as of right now I really don't see a heel turn from Jeff. That might happen in the future, but lets not get ahead of are selfs here and lets just wait and see what happens.
 
It wouldn't work. Hardy is too over as a face and let's face it. A guy yells as loud as he can is still gonna be drowned out by a shreiking girl and we all know how much the girls love Jeff. I also don't think Jeff has the promo skills to get over as a heel. He can be a good face because they don't really need to talk as much as heels do.
 
I continue to hear people say turning Hardy heel would be a stupid idea and thats fine with me thats everyone's opinion. And I also continue to hear people say turning him heel now would be dumb because he's over with the fans and is a big a main eventer which is true. But like I said at the top of my thread TNA doesn't necassarly have to turn Hardy heel now, I said in the near future. By me saying in the near future I mean he can turn heel 3 years from now if he's still with TNA that is, but I feel a heel turn for Hardy is going to have to eventually happen.
 
As everyone else before me has said, turning jeff hardy heel would be a bad idea. But turning off that a bit, you just kind of moved off your original topic to the flock idea. you didn't really state how he would turn heel. Just saying...

Well I'm not really saying bring back the Flock I was just saying let Raven mentor Hardy and Moore and maybe Abyss into a stable sort of similar to the Flock. He will just be the mouthpeice of the group and wrestle occasionally while Hardy would be the World Champ.
 
That might happen in the future, but lets not get ahead of are selfs here and lets just wait and see what happens.

That's basically what I am saying turn Jeff Hardy heel in the furture it doesn't have to be now. Maybe I should have been more specific with this thread. My bad.
 
I also don't think Jeff has the promo skills to get over as a heel. He can be a good face because they don't really need to talk as much as heels do.

Thats why I said put him in a faction with Raven so that Raven can be the mouthpeice. Sure Hardy promos skills suck but they could improve being with Raven, IMO Raven's one of the best promo cutters of all time let him teach Hardy how to at least cut a decent promo and I think it would be alright. Look at AJ and Flair sure A.J. 's not that great on the mic but I feel he's improved alot on the mic since he's been paired up with Flair.
 
Jeff Hardy needs to be built up like he's the most marketable star that TNA has (which he is) and if they eventually decide to turn him heel they'll have to do so outside of the Impact Zone because the crowd will continue to love him. It took AJ a month to get anything resembling real heat, how long do you think it will take Jeff Hardy?

But as of right now it should be Jeff Hardy's face atop every TNA ad you see. Let's get his face on some of those billboards in Times Square that Hulk had a few months back.
 
Hey Yo!
Jeff Hardy is the guy that is supposed to catapult TNA into the mainstream you know be the face of the company, he is the x factor major draw that TNA has acquired along with a couple of other guys bt he is the stand out he was in the friggen WWE main event then he jumped ship that's pretty huge and unseen these days.
So then turning heel will probably give some shock value for a couple of weeks and then what it'll all go down hill from there.
.Trust Tha Wolfpac.
 
Hardy is one of the most over faces in the wrestling industry, why turn the guy heel now when he has more potential as the face of TNA.

Turning him heel would translate into losese im sure hes selling merchandise and will eventually win the companies top prize as he is, and at the moment doesnt the company have more then enough heels?.

Let him run with the push hes been given and it will slowly but surely translate in more ppv buys and top title runs for the company, they now have a top star who is not under contract to the wwe, they need to run with him properly instead of doing something stupid, this is not Hogan where talking about when his heat ran out, this is a guy who is at the top of his game and is not even tasted a full reign yet.
 
He shouldn't turn heel he is the most over face in the company and i dont think he'd be able to play sadistic charachter it wouldn't suit him.
 
Even though I disagree at abyss's part I think it's a great idea seeing Jeff get a try at a heel turn. Even though if not raven, guided by Sting, it would be so unexpected. I guess they would keep him for a while like waht they did previosly for Booker, Sting, Christian, Kurt anlge, and Jeff himself, and at the end some turned heel.
