The WWE Is Ruining... Jeff Hardy

I’m not a big Jeff Hardy guy, but even I admire how this guy has become a legend in the sport of professional wrestling. His latest run has been fine but a bit uninspired and a knee injury last year may have ended the Hardy Boyz run in the WWE.

I’m not sure how Jeff’s contract will work with the injury, but Matt seems to be on his way out, just two years after debuting at WrestleMania a day after having a crazy ladder match against The Young Bucks in Ring of Honor. That return was probably their high point, but Jeff managed another title run before his knee injury and a US Title run in between. The guy is definitely still relevant, but his body has taken some massive abuse so hopefully an easier schedule is in his future.

So what’s the best path to go with Jeff Hardy? Honestly, it’s time for him to take a step back and just be an older guy that can put on good matches. They’ve been doing something similar with Rey Mysterio, and I don’t even know if Hardy needs as much success as Mysterio. He brings big name power and can still put on good matches, especially with the emotional investment people have in his career. Sure, let him beat some lower level guys and maybe the occasional upset to get fans excited, but when it comes to your top talents coming in from NXT, have them get the big win and use it as a catapult into the upper echelon of WWE Superstars.

I know that doesn’t sound like an inspired solution, but I do think it is what’s best for WWE, and giving Hardy a lighter workload is probably best for him as well.

The WWE Is Ruining... Matt Hardy

The WWE excitedly signed The Hardy Boyz away from the Broken Universe and promptly turned them into their old characters that had gotten stale a decade earlier. After they had squashed any momentum they would have had going in, they did let Matt Hardy briefly resume the character that made him so popular in Impact Wrestling, but they then teamed him up with Bray Wyatt and let everything die out before there was any sort of big payoff.

And now he has continued to exist. The Hardy Boyz won the tag titles but they were stripped of those when Jeff was injured. So now it is a giant pile of nothing for Matt Hardy.

Usually, I would say that Hardy has had a good run, and the WWE should really focus on the younger talent they currently have on the roster, but due to a change from a couple months ago, the Broken Universe finally makes sense to blend with the WWE Universe.

That change is the 24/7 Title.

The 24/7 title can travel all around the world, in and out of the wrestling ring, and there is no better place for it to be defended than the Hardy Compound. Imagine the incredible opportunities that this would provide as the most ridiculous title needs the most ridiculous backdrop for it.

Let Hardy be the longest reigning champion as he continually beats challengers who come to the compound. Then, when R-Truth or Drake Maverick finally get the pin on Matt Hardy, it’s revealed that he hasn’t been the champion this whole time.

And then the WWE Universe can be introduced to King Maxel, their new 24/7 Champion.

WONDERFUL!
