The Mega Hardy's Explode!!!: Matt Hardy Vs Jeff Hardy

[TheOneBigWill]

Do you know why this match screams "failure" before it's even happened? Because it's a "Family Feud", and it's being greatly overshadowed by another "Family" storyline, that being the Orton/McMahon storyline.

I have all the hope in the world that the Hardys will put on a great match, that will be worthy of Wrestlemania's mid-card. I mean, this is the same mid-card that's hosted R.V.D./William Regal, Doink-Dink/Bigelow-Luna, and worse. So Hardy/Hardy isn't horrible, by any stretch.

The only thing that's so hard about this type of storyline, is the inability to cut away from knowing in real life.. they're doubtfully having any type of Family squabble at all. Thus, this type of match with Brother against Brother, would work better for any number of other reasons. The storyline in and of itself, isn't likely what Matt feels at all. It's what all of the fans seem to believe.

That being, Jeff has fucked up time and time again, yet still remains vastly more popular and receives tons more credit and push, than his more talented, yet less charismatic Brother, Matt.

I'll be looking forward to this match, in the same way I looked forward to the Eddie Guerrero/Rey Mysterio contest. I believe it'll be a nice, semi-short match, that possibly opens the show. And gets forgotten once the bigger matches come into play.

Why do Matt & Jeff need it to be a ladder match? We have one in MiTB, we have a 25 diva battle Royale, we have a triple threat in Show v Edge v Cena. That's three gimmick matches there, how many more do you want?

A gimmick match should be the end of a feud, not the start...it has fuck all to do with it being PG.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

This could be one of the best matches of the night if they give it enough. Matt's promo was pretty good on Smackdown and Jeff conveyed true emotion. Matt Hardy should win this as he needs it more than Jeff. Matt has always been seen as the inferior of the two and if Jeff wins what does that say about Matt? I believe Jeff will win the feud at the end which faces tend to do but Matt should get the first victory.

 

[OIL]

This won't be anything special, and it pains me to say this. This COULD be a very good match, but the storyline is lacking majorly. They needed to reveal Matt to have done far worse things to Jeff over the years; sort of a progression. Then, you build up Matt's anger and how it's going to culminate in him beating Jeff at WM25 and proving that he's the better brother. Then you could have Jeff trying to deal with the fact that his brother has done all of this. Heck, hire an actress and have Matt steal Jeff's girlfriend. THAT, gives the fans more to invest in. Then, it hypes up the match WAY MORE. It would make people more interested, believe me.

 

[Phoenix]

Having remembered their "big family feud" match at Vengeance 2001, they have greatly improved since that disaster back then. I just really think that Matt is not showing enough to be hated, yes he confessed to the acts against Jeff, but the problem is, there wasn't any tension by Matt, he's emotionless!

Jeff finally attacking Matt I liked as it was waiting. But the build up has been so slow, 7 weeks chance for a build up, 4 weeks in, it finally gets truly rolling. I think the match will be great, but creative are truly being lazy with how they're building this.

Do you know why this match screams "failure" before it's even happened? Because it's a "Family Feud", and it's being greatly overshadowed by another "Family" storyline, that being the Orton/McMahon storyline.

Agreed. Let's also not forget the other "family" storyline going on between Edge, Vickie, and the Big Show. So right now WWE has three family storylines going on, two of them involving the WWE and WHC champion and one involving a former champ and a former ECW champ. The Hardy brothers. Right now the Orton/HHH feud has grabbed a lot of people's attention as it seems t get more personal week in and week out. The Edge situation has grabbed people's attention due to the fact that Edge and Vickie have been going for a while now, and now nobody knows who really loves Vickie. The Hardy storyline from what I've seen so far has been basically Matt saying I don't like you to Jeff and that's about it. There hasn't been any major build from what I can tell, but the match itself could possibly be pretty decent.

Matt is a pretty good worker and has been doing rather well for himself in singles matches for some time now, and Jeff has huge fan support. I think the reason that there is no gimmick in this match is because that is what everyone expects. When you mention the Hardys being in a match together or against each other, the first thing that comes to mind is the hardcore matches or ladder matches. So WWE could be testing both Hardys here to try and get the fans to acknowledge the Hardys as more than just hardcore competitors. By putting the two of them in a match at Mania, WWE could be trying to give both of them more of a boost and a rememberable moment at mania. Whether or not it will be is beyond me. I don't think they needed to put this match at Mania, but I can see why they did. Id guess this will open the show. Should be an okay match, but who knows, the Hardy's could wow us.

 

[TakeAdooKie]

Well, many of you will get your wish as they've announced the Hardy vs Hardy encounter will indeed be an Extreme Rules Match. Then they had an ERM last night on SD! where Jeff beat the hell out of Kendrick with a chair.

I was looking forward to this match before it was even an Extreme Match but now I am drooling over this one. No, I am not a gimmick match mark but I believe that these two will pull off one hell of an "ECW esq" match together. Besides, who knows Jeff like Matt and Vice Verca?

 

[JBK2008]

I wish the Hardys match was at least an Extreme Rules Match, but I'll live with this. For some reason I don't think this will be the last meet between these two. I could see this going on for a while. The jealous older brother vs the popular younger. Perhaps it's kinda like what my bro and I have, except I'm the popular older bro and he's the jealous younger bro LOL.

Anyway considering what these two have done for the attitude ara and up to now, I do wish this was more than a regular match. This should still be a very nice match.

 

[supergav67]

Well it WilL be an extreme rules match & hopefully a good one .But I loved your title Mega Hardys Explode ..Kinda gave the expression of the ground opening up,the heavens seperating as Sting,H & Edge walk to the ring.
Instead we got mumbling Matt ,mic in hand-natch,saying to glaring Jeff,"I hate you Jeff" (crickets chirp) "Youre not my brother" (audience snore) "I even hate your dog!" (He practically SaiD that!)
Its like the thought of Edge & Show drooling over VG,I mean,pass the bucket!

 

[Shocky]

Yay, Extreme Rules match. All of the Smarks in Hardyville have now all unloaded their premature jizzbombs into their pants with the excitement of a possibility of a Hardy jumping off of a Ladder, yippie they all proclaimed as this stipulation was announced.

What a bunch of bullshit. This pretty much confirms to me that the WWE simply has no faith in the Hardy Boyz as singles wrestlers. If you can't have a good match at freaking wrestlemania 25 without a damn gimmick, then you're not going to have a good match period. When the WWE slapped the Extreme Rules on this, they pretty much confirmed to the world what I've been saying for years, the Hardy's suck.

 

[Henry Hill]

it sucks that the hardy vs hardy match wont be something like a hardcore match or even possibly like a 15 minute iron man match. So far the only matches that aren't gimmicks are the MITB and The diva battle royal match.

isn't the battle royal a gimmick, and mitb is a ladder match....its an all gimmick card. what is this tna?

 

[Richard]

Well an Extreme Rules match is a good environment for the Hardyz since it allows them to play on their strengths in a hardcore, spot fest environment but it leaves a massive question to be answered as to where they will go after this match.

I would have thought an Extreme Rules/Hardcore match would have been the match to end the feud, not start it off. This is all good and well if the WWE only plan them to have one match, a match at WrestleMania and that's it and have Jeff and Matt do something else but if they wanted to continue it, they should have had a singles match at WrestleMania and then possibly stretch it out to Night of Extreme or whatever they're calling it now. Only problem with that is all those matches are gimmicks, so I don't think it would stand out amongst a card of gimmick matches. So I suppose this Extreme Rules match may be the way to go if they just want the Hardyz to fuck each other up.

 

[Darkshot77]

Again the WWE backs themselves into a croner doing what they think is a fan favorite idea. Now I will be the first one to say I like an ER match as much as the next guy, but I think this is a detriment to Jeff more than anything, lets look back at his last PPV matches.

No Mercy vs. HHH- Good Match, Jeff looked like he had a shot there right up untill the end.

Cyber Sunday vs. HHH- Again good match, Jeff takes the clean pinfall loss but looks no worse for the wear.

Armageddon vs. Edge vs. HHH- Jeff finally wins the big one in another very good match

Royal Rumble vs. Edge (NO DQ)- Shit. Jeff nearly kills himself on a ladder spot, and was quite sub par.

Jeff has the ability to be entertaining if not more entertaining in a singles match, when its no DQ we expect him to do something extremely over the top, where he usually botches or its not all that great so most are dissapointed. there comes a point where one has noe all the ladder spots humanly possible, therefor, what is he to do now. Jeff falls into this catagory.

Matt on the other hand I find boreing and not worth my time. Not to mention Matt is not very good in extreme rules matches. I have no recolections of the Hardy's Team Extreme days, of Matt doing anything over the top. It was always Jeff, so unless Jeff dose something completely mindblowing like his younger days, it will be underwhelming, and Matt never dose anything over the top...so whats the point.

So the WWE not only screws us out of a good match at WM, but the screw themselvs by making it the first match in the feud. Where do they go from here, a singles match at Backlash, isnt that a step back...way to go WWE

 

[Bluezone]

Matt is going to win. Jeff's victories over Kendrick and Ziggler indicate it.

Seriously, drop that crap already. Put Jeff back in the title picture, which is where he belongs, and reinforce Matt as a midcarder. That feud is a waste of time and talent.

 

[Y2M]

Here Two things I see After WM25 depending on who wins

If Jeff win- Matt hardy show up on smackdown and say his match with Jeff hardy has forced him to retire from WWE so Matt retire and everyone start hating Jeff hardy saying that they agree with what he said about Jeff but keep it to their self for respect of Matt but now that he gone they can don't have to hold back.then by the time summerslam pop around Matt hardy can come back and we can have Matt vs Jeff in a loser leave WWE match at summerslam with Matt winning and Jeff hardy finally getting the pink slip

If Matt win- He come out on smackdown talk trash about Jeff and how he beat him so bad that Jeff is out for 6 months, Then MVP come out to defend Jeff matt and MVP have a fight which led to Backlash MVP vs Matt for the US title MvP win by DQ then at Judgement day MVP win by pin and Finally at Extreme Rules Matt hardy beat MVP in a TLC match win the US title and after that "Matt fact" start poping up about Matt hardy life and these go to the Great American Bash were the finally "Matt fact" Is Matt hardy Opponent at Summerslam for the US title Is.... Jeff hardy then Jeff Music play.


That what I came up with

 

[Mighty NorCal]

What a bunch of bullshit. This pretty much confirms to me that the WWE simply has no faith in the Hardy Boyz as singles wrestlers. If you can't have a good match at freaking wrestlemania 25 without a damn gimmick, then you're not going to have a good match period. When the WWE slapped the Extreme Rules on this, they pretty much confirmed to the world what I've been saying for years, the Hardy's suck.

..um....DUUH.....thank GOODNESS this got made into a extreme rules match. As just a plain wrestling match, I found this about as interesting as cows chewing hay. Now, this is probably the most intriguing match on the whole card. This could end up totally balls out crazy, instea dof just a bland botchy singles match. Itll be a wild, botchy, singles match. Far more fun.

 

[Khalifa]

For me the extreme rules match getting put into this match just killed. I mean it will probably be a better match than what it would of been, far more entertaining than the singles match but I wanted to see just a one on one singles match. To see if they can prove themselves. They could have put on a good match as a single match, but it obviously looks like the WWE don't have faith in them. NOw this feud will end even quicker than usual.

 

[Leeds Guy]

What a bunch of bullshit. This pretty much confirms to me that the WWE simply has no faith in the Hardy Boyz as singles wrestlers.

Yeah they must no faith in either of them despite the fact that one of them is a former US and ECW champion and the other is a Grand Slam Winner and former WWE champion, no faith at all in them, they are argueably the most successful tag team to singles stars that there has been for quite a while, your blind hatred for them must be the reason you dont notice this.

If you can't have a good match at freaking wrestlemania 25 without a damn gimmick, then you're not going to have a good match period.

So your saying because its extreme rules it wont be a good match? and that because its not going to be good match at wrestlemania in your opinion, then they will never have a good match ever?

The fact is both the hardyz have had great matches outside of ''spot matches'' already. Jeff has had great matches with HBK, Randy Orton and HHH in the past year. Were as Matt has had great matches with Edge,MVP and even manage to carry Mark Henrys ass to a decent match.

When the WWE slapped the Extreme Rules on this, they pretty much confirmed to the world what I've been saying for years, the Hardy's suck.

Which is your opinion that you are entitled to but you pretty much say that in every thread thats been made about them. The WWE must not think so though because if they were really as bad as your making them out to be then they wouldnt be even on the Wrestlemania card and would be jobbing weekly.

 

[JBK2008]

This will be a great "spot match" or good wrestling match. These 2 guys have really come along over the years and the storyline put together just wants me to come back for more. I love the sibling rivalry and I hope Edge/Christian will happen down the road because of this feud. I still see Jeff winning this.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I don't know why it's Extreme Rules. You'd think they'd save the gimmick for Backlash. Also Jeff didn't want to fight Matt, now he's probably going to put him through a flaming table.

Watch WWE TV this week they're really hyping this match well. Hopefully both Matt & Jeff will come out of this match as superstars. I really think Matt should next go into a feud with the Undertaker & Jeff Hardy should probably feud with Randy Orton again. Or somebody of their caliber. it'd be a shame if WWE don't try and push both of them all the way.

 

[E7]

The build for the match has been awful, im not interested in it too much, although it will be a good match, with a lot of spots hopefully, it just isn't that exciting to me. It was awesome at RR and now it just isn't that great. Let's hope im proven wrong.

 

[timmy872]

I still say that WWE can't push Matt and Jeff together. One will always be behind the other.
The Undertaker and Kane are an example, although they are not actual brothers Undertaker is the star, Kane is the glorified jobber. In this case, should Kane win Money in the Bank this year, what would be interesting is if Kane cashes in when Undertaker wins a title back. Kane cashes in on 'Taker and wins the World title, because I hear that he might retire soon enough, so I'm saying give Kane the case so that he can get one more run.
ANNYWAY, back to The Hardys. Jeff SEEMS to be the one that WWE wants to succeed from what I can see so far. Matt is the harder worker in my eyes, all the time Jeff was out of WWE, Matt was succeeding as a cruiserweight champion, because its the only gig he could get. But what if Matt had got a push similar to Edge while Jeff was gone. Jeff comes back to what? Would he of become Kane, the one who got fed to the newbies.

 

[Rusty]

Fuck yes. I'm pumped for this match. Call me a smark or whatever the fuck you want to call me, but almost every single Wrestlemania has a gimmick match apart from the Money in the Bank ladder match. Last year had the Belfast Brawl, the year before had the Hair vs Hair match, Wrestlemania 22 had the Hardcore match between Mick Foley and Edge, and so on. These two will probably face each other at Backlash in a singles match anyway. But this match here, might possibly be the match of the night if the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels disappoint.

If they put on the best match of the night, it proves to everyone that the Hardy's are good wrestlers and they excel in gimmick matches. Just like your hero, Edge does. I'm a fan of Jeff Hardy, not because he's a spot monkey but because the guy is damn entertaining and consistantly puts on good matches even without a gimmick. Matt Hardy on the other hand, is probably the most underrated worker in the company. The IWC shits all over him because "he's boring and has no charisma". Yet, I compare him to Chris Benoit. He isn't as good as Benoit, but the guy sure knows how to get a good match out of almost anybody. Gimmick matches are just his speciality, and Matt Hardy should be credited for his work in his singles matches.

The feud has been, rather lackluster actually. When Matt got brought into the equation, it's almost like the WWE couldn't be bothered with it anymore seeing as it technically "started" long ago at Survivor Series where Matt apparently attacked Jeff. Since Jeff lost the WWE Championship (if he walked into WM25 as the champion, the WWE Title match would have been so much more interesting) all we've seen is promos that really make no sense. It took Matt this long to realize people care about Jeff more than they care about him. But also, he said his career was "mediocre". So, Matt Hardy basically admitted the ECW Championship and the United States Championship mean nothing. While that's certainly not his fault, I still can't buy Matt as a heel. He just seems so damn likeable and still doesn't get enough heat to become a heel main eventer.

This match here is make or break time for the Hardy'z. If they put on a terrific match, which I think they will, there is a good chance both can be main eventers by the end of the year. Though one could make the argument that Jeff is already a main eventer. This match should be very entertaining and full of huge spots. These two are going to put their bodies on the line here in what should be a good and a fairly long match. The match result is unpredictable. But I think Jeff Hardy will win here. Though Matt has a great chance at winning as well. I'm predicting a Jeff Hardy victory though seeing as he is the bigger star of the two, and needs to regain back some credibility since losing his WWE Championship, as well as getting revenge on his brother.

 

[Kaze Enigma]

If you were to have Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania 25 in a hardcore match, I would like to know where you would go from then on. How would you develop it? You have to build these things up.

Where's the fun in having hardcore match after hardcore match? Lets just say that they did turn around and give us a hardcore match, fine, but lets say Matt Hardy beats the living shit out of Jeff and pins him. If they were to have a hardcore match to blow off the feud, it makes Jeff look like shit since he couldn't beat Matt Hardy in a hardcore match at WrestleMania, what makes him think he'd be able to beat him in the same sort of match?

The WMXXV match will be like a best of three match with jeff going over in a ladder match at backlash, then at the next ppv the rubber match will occur eg a steel cage match or a HiTC and end it with a no contest or even a draw.

I am buying the PPV, my first btw, purely for this match and it wouldnt be a big match with out it being extreme and im sure a lot of the other posters would agree. Neither Matt nor Jeff are really known for their wrestling skills more for being spot monkeys, theirfore a wrestleing match would be boring

 

[OIL]

It's good that it's Extreme Rules.

It just means spot, after spot, after spot. Sure, that could get boring after a while in terms of wrestling; but it could really further the rivalry. Each trying to do a bigger spot on the other, could be epic. I'm expecting an insane, insane spot in this. What, I'm not sure, but it's going to be big. It won't be match of the night, but it'll be fantastic. Jeff needs to win this, if he's going to stay in the main event scene. If he lost to a mid-carder in this high profile match, he's fucked.
