LOL, watch the video, gotta be the worst acting ever. Christian Cage anyone?

My lord, this is awful. I was watching this the other day and my girlfriend (who has just started watching) was like "was he really in an accident?" and I told her to wait until they showed the 'exclusive footage'. Once they did, she goes 'yeah, definitely fake' right away.
On one hand, I appreciate that they are trying something different, but the execution leaves a ton to be desired. Jeff Hardy probably wasn't a good choice for this angle....well, let me rephrase that. The Jeff Hardy character is fine in it, but whenever it comes to acting or talking, Jeff is one of the least convincing people in the entire WWE.
IF this leads to a Christian return, though, all is forgiven.

Also, Beth is an even worse actor than Jeff, assuming that's actually her.

Well that's even more depressing that they HIRED somebody to act that badly.

I might be biased because I hate when Jeff Hardy talks. I even said in my first post that I appreciate them trying something different.

I have yet to mind him talking ever since this time last year. It used to bother me but I think he's improved.

I love the "cellphone" footage they showed. A guy running out of the woods with a phone recording video...why exactly? Could understand if he came from another car but he just seems to randomly come out of the trees. :wtf:
And vince wonders why wwe movies is considered a laughing stock. :roll:

Jeff seems to be o.k. when he has a person to bounce with. When's he just "acting", like there, he's less than great.

I just wished he'd had his belt over his shoulder while standing there.
That would have been awesome.

I kind of wish the police officer would have known who he was too.
OFFICER: What's your name?

OFFICER: Jeff who?
JEFF: Jeff Hardy.
Captivating stuff, there.

WWE.com has just learned that Jeff Hardy has been fired under the Wellness Policy's three strikes rule after being involved in a Hit and Sit Around on the Couch Eating Chex Mix Watching Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
I don't get why it's so bad. Nobody was complaining about this type of stuff when the business was at a record high
Exactly!

What would have been funnier would have been if they'd played it off as the cop was a WWE fan. Thiswise:
OFFICER: What's your name?
JEFF: Jeff

JEFF: Jeff Hardy.
OFFICER: The wrestling guy?
JEFF: Yes.
OFFICER: All units respond, I've got a celebrity drug offense here...

Given that the threshold for good entertainment starts not at "enjoyable," but "tolerable," That's a great feather in its cap.
Shadow
01-12-2009, 01:32 AM
Yeah it was...barely tolerable when I saw it on Smackdown and its still a stupid way to bring in Christian. ESPECIALLY since the original angle was to have "Beth" injured enough to go to the hospital. Not...."shook up".

This was actually one of my huge problems with it, too. What is it with the WWE talking themselves down? They create a storyline for one of their top guys where he is broke, and only the following week come up with an explanation as to how a guy performing at such a high level could be broke (other than: "we can't pay him shit") and now they have their WWE Champion not even be recogniseable in sketches.
And yes, this was a sketch.

You know we like to say Jeff tries to be like the Joker, but I say put him in a limousine with Two-Face and a gun to his head, I wonder if he'd still act shitty when his life is on the line.

I heard someone named God was working for Vince's company on a part time basis. Dude's got super natural abilities.

They're not going to pay God's salary for this bit. He's on a pay per appearance contract, and get quite a sum. They normally only pay Him when they need a name to put Hogan over.
It was clearly a guy with a large camera, if I were having to act with such a terrible script I'd say fuck it and look right at him obviously.

I couldn't find a thread about the next incident so I'm posting in this one.
SPOLIERS FOR SMACKDOWN 1/16
The pyro that went off prematurely during Jeff's entrance actually looked pretty sweet. The slow motion replays were great. I'll give WWE credit with this making it look pretty damn real.
Evil Vito
01-16-2009, 11:48 PM
<font color=goldenrod>Yeah it was very well done, especially the ball of flames.
I also give credit to Jeff, I remember Goldberg said in an interview one time that the pyro (understandably) hurt like fuck. So Jeff took one for the team.</font> :shifty:

Darn tootin'. I was rather impressed when it shot right in his face. Very well done. Something any prick with a grudge coulda set up.

Also, closing in on Jeff's face was a bad idea.
I like what they did for the most part. I think the shitty acting may be a benefit, because an "accident" on the family friendly WWE show happening to one of the kiddy favorites strikes me as a good way to scare kids, offend parents, and lose sponsors.
Again, not that I think it's a bad idea, but I'm not the one marketing to the Spongebob crowd.

To me it looked a lot like Jimmy Wang Yang.
I LOL'd when they strapped Jeff to the gurney whilst wearing the WWE title.
LOL, just saw it. Got to love the slow-mo replay where he sells the final fire ball a bit too early.
JEFF: "You remember back when we were in OVW? What was that name they had for me..."
MATT: "Oh, I don't remember..."
JEFF: "Yes you do. Say it..... SAY IT!!!"
MATT: "....Two-Face... Hardy Two-Face."
"Heads, I toke, tails, I job."

I was happy with how it went. I thought they were going to overkill with the pyro.
My boyfriend killed the whole thing though. He kept making stoner/drug jokes. It also didn't help Truth was patting down Jeff.

Anyway, it sounds pretty silly. And these angles never go well. And I was honestly just enjoying the the bare bones fact that Jeff was WWE Champ and this looks like the gateway to taking it off him. But whatever.

Oh man that'd be awsome and I can see Jeff and Matt doing that.
