Jeff "invovled" in a Hit and Run
 
http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/a...hardyhitandrun


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

Anybody Thrilla 01-11-2009 02:32 PM

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.

Anybody Thrilla 01-11-2009 02:33 PM

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

Nark Order 01-11-2009 02:43 PM

It wasn't Beth, it was some other girl.

Anybody Thrilla 01-11-2009 02:51 PM

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

Jeritron 01-11-2009 03:13 PM

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

Anybody Thrilla 01-11-2009 03:19 PM

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.

Jeritron 01-11-2009 03:41 PM

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

Gerard 01-11-2009 03:58 PM

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:

Early Gooker nominee.

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.

addy2hotty 01-11-2009 04:50 PM

I just wished he'd had his belt over his shoulder while standing there.

That would have been awesome.

Anybody Thrilla 01-11-2009 05:30 PM

I kind of wish the police officer would have known who he was too.

OFFICER: What's your name?

JEFF: Jeff

OFFICER: Jeff who?

JEFF: Jeff Hardy.

Captivating stuff, there.

Dave Youell 01-11-2009 07:23 PM

Honestly I didn't think it was that bad.

Xero 01-11-2009 08:23 PM

It wasn't "Good" by any stretch of the imagination, either.

thedamndest 01-11-2009 08:27 PM

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.

Exactly!

Underground fans have gotten smarter and mainstream wrestling has gotten dumber.

I think Abe Lincoln said that.

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

OFFICER: Jeff who?

JEFF: Jeff Hardy.

OFFICER: The wrestling guy?

JEFF: Yes.

OFFICER: All units respond, I've got a celebrity drug offense here...

No, Abe Lincoln said "Sit the hell down, John, I'm trying to watch this play."

Afterlife 01-11-2009 09:25 PM

I'm going to start saying "thiswise".

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.

Maybe for someone without taste or talent.

Your grasp of the obvious aside, it's good to know we're simpatico.

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.

Anybody Thrilla 01-12-2009 12:07 PM

He'd probably think the whole thing was an LSD flashback.

At this point I wondered who actually DIDN'T see the guy, cell phone my ass.

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

Kane Knight 01-12-2009 04:00 PM

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.

Lux 01-12-2009 06:31 PM

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.

Dorkchop 01-16-2009 11:03 PM

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.

Afterlife 01-17-2009 10:12 AM

You are such a perv.

Dave Youell 01-17-2009 10:23 AM

The initial shots look great, personally I think the selling after was a bit of a let down, but the actual stunt itself was sick

Hanso Amore 01-17-2009 10:46 AM

The actual pyro was GREAT!

The acting afterwards was horrible. WHo was that guy jumping around saying "where are the EMTS!"
