People turned on Matt Hardy when he really tried to connect with people via the internet, actually, and it became apparent how retarded the guy is.
There was a phase where everyone loved the guy -- he was in shape, he could play a character (remember Mattitude?), he could work, he was over. And he was the good Hardy. He was money. 2005 came, and the WWE missed a huge opportunity to generate cash off the guy, in my opinion. But then, as he would go on to claim, health problems and injuries caused him to get a bit more out of shape. He was still over, though. I was on the pro-Hardy side, claiming that the guy could be re-invented and presented in a way that could still make him a main eventer. Others had deemed him a mid-carder for life.
But when he left the WWE is when I personally just got sick of him. The guy is not someone I would enjoy hanging out with. In my opinion, his idea of attention is completely warped. He's the kind of guy who thinks public urination is funny, and his first reaction to his brother throwing up his guts after taking too many substances would be to whip out the video camera.
Matt Hardy has issues, and I'm sorry to say that I am no longer a fan.
The man is great for directing jokes at, though.
