Matt Hardy can get himself talked about -- I'll give him that much. He knows how to throw shit at the wall. Unfortunately he's not as great at making it stick. He doesn't seem to understand the difference between good attention and bad attention. He's the kid making weird noises in class and throwing bricks through the window. This is the sort of stuff that Vince Russo said would help WCW in 1999.
When his contract expires next year, I doubt he will be worth as much as he is even now. Given the pace at which TNA moves, because they never hit pay-dirt and are constantly looking for it, and given how fickle fans are -- Matt Hardy will have completely changed again in the next 10 months. He'll be "Surge the Revolutionator" or something from his OMEGA bag of "shouldn't have been" gimmicks, or he'll be plain old Matt Hardy again. Or he'll be Fixed Matt Hardy. Or he'll be Matt Hardy with Lime. His currency won't be the same though, and it'll be interesting to see if the WWE wants him then, or if they just try to get Jeff and push him for the merchandise.
It wouldn't surprise me if "No More Words" hits one day, and Matt and Jeff Hardy both come out, doing their hand signals, and they just do their through the motions Hardy Boyz style stuff and go after the Tag Titles though, and "Broken Matt Hardy" becomes a vague "Hey, do you remember that?" talking point.
