I think I have to go with this one. You can talk about exploiting deaths or doing things for shock value, but in this case you're talking about sending a guyear who was a clear danger to himself and everyone around him out to wrestle when there were plenty of other options. The simplest being "ladies and gentlemen, Jeff Hardy was beaten unconscious by _____ in the back and will be unable to compete, taking his place in this match will be _____!" It was going to be damaging enough when the real story came out, letting it happen the way it did was a cannonball in the hull. And why? To give 5 he fans the match that was advertised? Thankfully all that happened was Hardy looked like a total jerkass; performing in any way in the state he was in threatened the safety of everyone on both sides of the barricades. It was lazy, disrespectful, irresponsible, and straight up appalling.
