But seriously, boiling the Hardys' careers down to only being good in TLC-related matches is a really linear and close-minded way of looking at things. It completely ignores all of the amazing non-gimmick matches that they had, singles or tag team.
As V1 he wasn't terrible, but he still wasn't that great. A lot of his lines still felt kind of forced to me.

I didn't say anything about Jeff's in ring ability outside of TLC matches. And I didn't say matt hardy wasn't any good outside of TLC. Just not main event level. He's upper midcard at most, imo.
