From there, it was a long, painful ride down the Smackdown ladder. Yeah, he's made a recovery more recently, but it's hard to see him as anything greater than lower midcard after getting worked over so many times. He has some sort of... jobber taint on him. Every time I watch a Matt Hardy match, I expect him to lose any minute. Yeah, he makes a wonderful underdog that way, but I can't see him being champion without rehashing Rey Mysterio's reign.
The fans get behind him, though, and being a jobber isn't inescapable.

Of course, Jeff is the proper Hardy to put on top, with the glaring exception of his reliability. Matt doesn't no-show dates, he's not a massive stoner (I don't know or care if he smokes shit, but....), and Jeff does. And is.

I'd never put Jeff anywhere near the title scene, because he's a fucking flake, and the minute he decides he'd rather get high, he stops giving a fuck.

In fact, if I were WWE, I'd have a policy on substance abuse if for no other reason than the druggies (RVD, Hardy) and the Alcies (Austin) are the ones who seem most prone to let you down. You want a push? You'd damned well better be clean.

...Of course, 'roids would be allowed. for "medicinal" purposes.

But Jeff? Jeff will always be the over Hardy. That's life. Matt will always be the more reliable, lesser Hardy. And I'm fine with that. I like Matt better, but that's because I'm not a drug addicted tweeny. I've also made peace with the fact that he's not the next main eventer. Probably also because I don't play around with drugs.
