• Extremely Disappointed

  Posted on 3/11/08 3:15 PM

  You've all seen my constant standing up for Jeff Hardy. I've been a Hardy fan since the first match I watched in the WWE. The very first match I ever watched from start to finish was on the Sunday Night Heat prior to WrestleMania XV, The Hardy Boyz versus Edge & Christian. From then on, I was a Hardy fan, particularly Jeff Hardy.
  
  So to see him leave in 2002 kinda killed things for me. To see him flounder in TNA Wrestling then disappear from there, made me a little skeptical he'd ever return to wrestling.
  
  Then he comes back to WWE with this massive intensity, and in the last several months gets the main event push of a lifetime. And what does he do? Relapses. F**kin' relapses and fails a drug test. Drops the Intercontinental Championship early to Chris Jericho, gets removed from WrestleMania XXIV's Money in the Bank Ladder match, and suspended for 60 days.
  
  If he had passed that test, I bet you just about anything I have that the company would have felt confident they could give him the WWE Championship. The ONLY reason he didn't win it up til now, was because they were fearful he could relapse. And then he did.
  
  So what's that mean?
  
  Well, you can't at all keep him low on the card, because the fan response won't die down from this. Most casual fans won't know why he even disappeared. Some won't care.
  
  But I'm pretty certain now that he will NOT get a WWE Championship this year like he was pretty much scheduled to get. I'm not even sure he'll ever get it now. He'd have to really, REALLY prove something to the WWE now. To screw up in that kind of a push, that sort of situation. It really disappointed me.
  
  Jeff Hardy's been my idol in professional wrestling for nearly ten years now, and that just killed me.
  
  And I'm more worried about him failing another one than I am about him getting back into the title hunt. Because now, it's one more failed test and he HAS to be fired.
  
  Way to screw up Jeff. Way to really let down the real Jeff Hardy fans out there, that have backed you up every step of the way even when you were screwing up, just to fix yourself up, start to get to where you need to be, and then decide you can't stay clean.
  
  This is one fan who's entirely not happy at all right now. And for once, it's not because of John Cena, or Triple H, or the WWE at all. But because Hardy continues to selfishly not care about his career or his fans one bit. Or at least, he doesn't seem to want to show that he does.

• Why Does Everyone Want a Talker?

  Posted on 2/24/08 6:03 PM

  I keep reading the same stuff about Jeff Hardy and his bad mic skills. Okay, what's your point?
  
  Are you watching wrestling to watch wrestling? Or hear people talk?
  
  I'd much rather have someone like Hardy come out and give a two line promo and then win virtually every match he's been in since Armageddon, than listen to someone like, Chris Jericho, who went on and on and on before Armageddon and then didn't even win his match. I can't stand the talking. I want to see action.
  
  Hardy is talented enough to be world champion. I know it, the company knows it, and the company is giving him his shot at a run later this year. Not EVERYONE needs to be good on the mic to be a champion. Sometimes it's better to have a champion that just gets the job done rather than talk about it and then half the time not even win the match anyways.
  
  I don't know about all you guys giving the SAME arguments about why Jeff doesn't deserve a shot simply cuz of his mic skills are watching, but I WANT to watch WRESTLING. Not a damn talk show.

• This Would Be An Unexpected Move for WrestleMania

  Posted on 2/21/08 3:29 PM

  Now before you all start saying "Jeff Hardy sucks" just listen for a second -- he's main event, he's staying main event, and all the little subtle signs that most people completely miss and don't even realize are signs of a future major run are clearly evident to me. So if all you're going to do is continue to bash the first guy to step up that's actually DIFFERENT from all the other tired ass main eventers, then just stop reading now.
  
  I thought of this a few days ago, and this is honestly how I'd book WrestleMania 24 just for the fact that nobody would expect this, and that's a big part of what's been lackking in the WWE -- unpredictability (I completely called it when I said weeks ago that the Elimination Chamber would come down to Triple H and Jeff Hardy with HHH barely defeating the Intercontinental Champion, and sure enough, that's how it played out, and my credibility for knowing this industry continues to build).
  
  So we've got WrestleMania 24, with these key matches:
  WWE Championship match
  Triple H versus John Cena versus (c) Randy Orton
  Money in the Bank
  Includes Jeff Hardy (who is going to win it, whether you like it or not or believe it or not)
  
  So here's what I would do for WrestleMania. Now Jeff Hardy clearly wants to main event Mania, and deserves it really. And he was just shy of winning the Chamber match. Triple H is practically a lock to win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania because Cena has a movie to film around Mania time... hence my confusion on his return so early... so I figure that with the triple threat, no disqualifications, the three beat each other bloody, and Triple H wins, while Cena gets "reinjured" and Orton's just beaten and unconscious. So Hardy, who's going to win the Money in the Bank anyway (he was after all the only one originally even discussed to be in the match a few weeks ago, they hadn't even considered anyone else yet so he's clearly winning), and wanted to main event Mania, and has the right to use his contract for a title match anytime within a year of winning the briefcase... cashes it in directly after Triple H becomes the champion, takes advantage of an already battered new champion, and wins the WWE Championship in the unexpected main event match of WrestleMania 24, leading to a continuation of the feud the two will likely have either way thru the summer (as I'm expecting Jeff Hardy to win the WWE Championship around SummerSlam more than anything else).
  
  I HIGHLY doubt that the WWE would push this sort of twist, as they've become far too predictable, HOWEVER, that's how I would book it, because no one would see that coming.
