Before or After: Jeff Hardy
 
The Charismatic Enigma is the focus of this week’s “Before or After”. Ever the risk taker, he defies gravity (and sometimes, logic) whenever he steps into the ring. What I wanna know is do you think Jeff Hardy was better before or after the end of his first TNA stint, which was around mid-2006?

Rock Bottom 10-29-2011 10:29 PM

Before. I really can't stand either Hardy, but when they were new/fresh as a tag team, they were ok.

Tazz Dan 10-29-2011 11:10 PM

This is actually a tough one. My initial thoughts were after, but he had some great mid card title runs before.... Still, I'll go with after.

Lock Jaw 10-29-2011 11:11 PM

After. His return to WWE was his best material.

teamXtremist 10-29-2011 11:47 PM

after, no doubt his first run in tna was complete shit he had nothing but squah matches and his in ring work was less then stellar

djoutcry 10-30-2011 12:53 AM

I like that Jeff Harvey

Emperor Smeat 10-30-2011 12:54 AM

Before.

He had drugs problems during both periods but it seemed to get worse after his 1st run with TNA and him doing it at the worst times possible for both TNA and WWE.

He had some nice feuds and title reigns after his first run with TNA but almost all got cut short or ruined because of his problems.

Although his problems ended up benefiting CM Punk's rise the most, especially their last feud together where Punk managed to become the most hated heel and a legit star as a result.

exactly no one wrestler benefited more from jeff hardys demons then cm punk

Eklipse 10-30-2011 01:11 AM

Neither. I have never, ever cared for Jeff or Matt Hardy. At all.

Seth82 10-30-2011 02:03 AM

I'll say Before...

ddpBANG 10-30-2011 02:50 AM

Yup. I like him a little bit around the time of the T.I.T., but I actually found myself getting behind him leading up to his title win. He was on fire for a minute there.

Rammsteinmad 10-30-2011 07:33 AM

I'm going with after simply based on his feud with CM Punk. The Hardys were a great team back in the day, but after they split up, Matt showed how awesome he could be with his 'V1' stuff, while Jeff just kinda became a bump machine with facepaint.

That CM Punk rivalry was pretty much the only time Jeff was involved with anything I gave a shit about.

RiX1024 10-30-2011 08:07 AM

Not a fan of Jeff Hardy, but if I have to pick After.

blak23 10-30-2011 09:18 AM

before

Shisen Kopf 10-30-2011 09:24 AM

Before?

It's a shame that they weren't in the WWE together, but I would have loved to have seen a CM Punk vs. Eddie Guerrero feud in the same mold as the Punk/Hardy one. Maybe Punk's rise to the top would've happened a year or two sooner than it did. He was already over enough to be placed in the top tier, IMO. Who knows. Maybe Eddie would've been the first victim of the MITB cash-in instead of Edge.

VSG 10-30-2011 12:06 PM

Before. Way too many great memories of Hardy Boys during the attitude era.

Mr. JL 10-30-2011 01:17 PM

I'll say before because of his great Ladder, TLC, Tables, Cage performances in the Hardy Boyz, his weekly mini feuds/matches against wrestler X, his series of matches against RVD, his match against Triple H for the IC title, his ladder match with the Undertaker, match against Y2J, his TNA debut against AJ Styles.

In a couple more years if Jeff can keep straight and off the drugs my answer may prove to change to AFTER as he had some great outings with Nitro, Umaga, a match with Flair, feud with Orton, epic feud with CM Punk, and even his matches in TNA against RVD, Angle, Kennedy, Sting (the Impact match not the Loser Road match).

I would prefer to see him back in the WWE though.

Dave Youell 10-30-2011 05:57 PM

His return to WWE was his best run, still love that Rooftops music vid.

great video, his return to wwe was his best singles inring work by far

dronepool 10-30-2011 07:10 PM

I didn't watch wrestling or keep up with it at all in between early mid 2003 and 2008 so I'd say before.

Maybe Punk could have saved Eddie from a steroid-induced heart attack!
