I don't think Jeff is stupid for signing. The WWE probably wouldn't touch him with legal issues. This is a way for him to stay relevant and make some money. Also, you have to consider that Jeff was feeling burnt out with the WWE, so the TNA schedule will be more to his liking. Plus, he can focus on both his junkie and "artistic" lifestyle whilst signed to TNA. I mean, Bobby Lashley can do MMA and work with TNA -- so surely Jeff Hardy will have the time to occasionally smoke it up.
Jeff Hardy is worth too much money to not be of value to Vince at all later on. When his legal troubles ease out, and his contract with TNA expires, he will be able to re-sign with the WWE.
I hope TNA have signed Sean Morley. Maybe not as an active competitor. I mean, Morley is a great worker, in my opinion, but his age and how the WWE treated him in his later years with them makes me doubtful of what he can really add. I'd love to be wrong. What Morley can add, however, is experience and knowledge backstage. I'd like to see him join D'Lo Brown, Scott D'Amore and Simon Diamond as one of TNA's road agents.
Scott Hall & Sean Waltman I would not mind seeing as recurring characters trying to get into TNA. If they have their working boots on, that is. If they put over Beer Money, it could be pretty cool. I'd just throw a few paychecks at them. Especially considering they both apparently looked drunk when they showed up for work. Orlando Jordan is another guy I would not mind seeing work with TNA for a bit, if not consistently. Let him put over The Pope. If Jordan impresses, by all means bring him back.
The Nasty Boys I don't really think need to be seen again. It seems like they could be put into some sort of "one-off" story with Team 3D, though. It might be Hogan's way of giving to his buddies, whilst also putting the TNA guys over.
