WWE Sign Jeff Hardy

Fozzy

Just reported on PWInsider.com, WWE have re-signed Jeff Hardy. I'm sure a lot of people will love this. I don't. Hopefully Matt will get some sort of push again though

and hopefully they will help smackdown because it needs it and also be in dublin for the shows!!

Stalfos

well if he's cleaned himself up then, i have no problems.

Good to see. Now maybe Matt Hardy will be elevated above jobber status. Not that I'm a big fan of him, but it'll be good to see the Hardys doing something again.

Dickmcsavage

Have to say, i'm pretty happy about this. Obviously they're gonna have the Hardyz reunite but to be honest id rather see him in ECW. He kinda suits the new direction in which they're goin'. I would say that he and CM Punk could have a good feud. They kinda look similar but Punk is 'Straight edge' and we all know about Jeff's past problems.

i think the hardyz will reunite because the tag division is lookin pritty good on smackdown at the moment for example smackdown have a number of teams now like elijah burke & sylvester turkay, kc james and idol stevens, kendrik and london,the pitbulls and even the gemmni and now with the hardyz return id say thats a good division!!!!!!!!!

wwe dont push tag teams like they did years ago. some of the best matches i remember are tag team matches. raw and smackdown must do something about this soon.

Fozzy

Yeah, I don't really see how they're goin to be able to push Matt and Jeff as a tag team. In a perfect world they'd push Matt on his own and team Jeff up with someone else

I don't think they'll do that. WWE seems to be in a recycling stage. Bringing back DX, the fake Kane angle and I think the return of the Hardy Boys is just another example of it.

I was never in love with the Hardy like a lot of people seemed to be. But right now they have 3 brands with two of them badly lacking star power. I think the Hardy's could help in that sense.

Its not like they were doing anything useful with Matt except continously bury him anyway.

Remember this time last year when he was one of the most over guys in wrestling?

And then he came back. And then they buried him.

Fozzy

What I meant when I said I don't see how they can push them as a team, is that I don't know who they're going to feud with. There aren't enough tag teams built up to any degree

Vince135792003

I'd watch them feud with London and Kendrik or the Spirit Squad every week.

The tag team division is bare on every brand. But if you can get 3 good teams working together with a few added extras you can build a tag divison again. Much like they did in the early 2000's with the Dudleys, Hardy's Edge and Christian who were the core of the divison.

You could have the same with the Hardys, Pitbulls (once their back) and London and Kendrick.

Does anybody now what show he is going to be on. Matt's on smackdown isn't he. (Sorry haven't watched Smackdown in 3 months:o ). I would be delighted to see him back and back to his old self. Any ideas how he will join matt if he does. Like come out and help him in a match or something???

J.R.HARTLEY

how long before we should expect to see him?
is he still finishing off a TNA contract or is he a free agent.

Fozzy

I wouldn't expect to see him back until Matt is back on tv. He's suspended for another 3 weeks I think. WWE say he's signed his contract, so he must be finished with TNA, although they still have his profile on their site

fully agree would be class if spriit squad came 2 smackdown , would be great fued with hardy boyz

id love the see the hardy boys back in action but i wouldnt be surprised to see jeff get stuck jobbing a go nowhere crusierweight devision just to keep him out of TNA's hands.
lets not forget poor decisions on the wwe's part have seen loads of tag teams / factions ruined beyond repair ( anyone remember the nWo shawn micheals bit )

i'm waiting to see if Shannon Moore has that fate.

It's mad how WWE sign up superstars, some established or former employees yet have nothing for them to do. Jimmy Yang, Sonny Siaki, Chuck Pulumbo come straight to mind. Charlie Haas and Shannon Moore arent exactly making an impact either. Shame really.

Chong

I am actually glad to see him back, and I hope he can stay clean .

Ah, I doubt TNA are too bothered by it, they didn't use Jeff at all for the last 7 or 8 months of his contract

Reganio 2

Is TNA on the T.V. have never seen it.
In relation to jeff I am delighted and I am fairly sure he is getting back with matt, as I read an article somewhere that the 2 of them were talking to the reporter and were saying we have great chemistry together or along those lines. Just the whole interview sounded like they were gettting back together.

TNA is on the wrestling channel on sky digital. it's free and TNA airs one week later than the original broadcst. their ppv's are also shown.
it is also on a couple of other channels (player and eurosport?), but they are weeks, if not months, behind.
go get yourself a sky digital supscription and enjoy TNA.

Yeah will have to, only have NTL so don't have the wrestling channel. Is TNA good or is just full of people who A(Not good enough to wrestle in wwe or B( past their best and on their way to retirement. Sorry if this offends anyone just intrested as I have never heard of it.

FX Meister

You don't need a sky subscription to get TWC. FACT

Doctor DooM

I hope he doisnt start destroying himself with injuries again...

Even so, he was one of their best merchandise sellers. And one of the more recognised names.

Minto

Sorry, I know this is slightly off topic, but did Jeff ever win the NWA Heavyweight Title in TNA?

If so, I wouldn't be 100% surprised if they gave him a run of the WWE Title on Raw or something to that effect.

Vince135792003

I would be shocked if either Hardy ever gets a run with a top belt. If Matt was ever going to, it would have been this time last year.

I think as a top guy Jeff just does n't have it.

Brow

I do remember one amazing match Jeff had on Raw years ago though and when I saw it I stopped and thought maybe he could have it as a main guy. It was a ladder match against Taker for the Undisputed title. It was so 50:50 that some parts I thought Jeff might pull off the shock win.

It's neither really. A lot of their guys are more than talented enough to wrestle in WWE, it's just that some of them aren't big enough for their liking. Size shouldn't really matter though. TNA's not perfect, but a lot closer to it than WWE is

Brow wrote:

Still, if they were concerned, surely they'd have stuck him on tv this year to try sell even more merchandise. They knew his contract would be expiring in July, and they obviously didn't think it worth their while to try make any money using him. Maybe a little silly from a financial point of view, but makes sense in other ways

Jeff never won the NWA title. Had some matches for it though

Cheers Fozzy
I remember Jeff had a very good run in wwf/wwe. He was battling top names and I remember he had a battle with HHH. Hopefully he gets back to that standered and that wwe don't punish him with rubbish stories just for leaving them. Either way as I said before I am glad to see him back.

I remember him beating HHH for the IC title a few years back,of course naturally he was squashed the following week :mad:

I doubt Jeff will ever be a main eventer. I haven't seen any of his TNA stuff but from what I've seen of him in WWE, he's muck on the mic. Real bad! Rarely is it that a WWE guy gets to the top based purely on ability. Exceptions that come to mind include Benoit and also Mysterio to a lesser extent because I suppose he has some charisma.
Just thinking about it... Jeff and Mysterio could make a good make-shift tag team at some stage. Anyway, I don't see Jeff ever winning the title. I'll eat my hat if he does!

Yeah Rey and Jeff would be good. Ill hold you to that eat your hat thing. Come on Jeff.:D

Fozzy

I always found it funny that they called him "the charismatic enigma" in TNA. I never found him charismatic at all! Even his self-sung entrance music sounded like he did it while half asleep

HorseRadish

If only Matt and Jeff got back together and they hired some big buxomed woman called Nancy Drew....think of the buyrates,people!!!

J.R.HARTLEY

did you ever find his naming convention a little poncey: charismatic enigma, twist of fate, swanton bomb, whisper in the wind.

HorseRadish

And who can forget his original moniker Will O'The Wisp?

Not as bad as Matt's "Angelic Diablo" stunt he tried to pull after being fired last year

J.R.HARTLEY

he's debuting next monday on raw so they must be keeping them seperate for a while
