Jeff Hardy was a guy I would have been happy to see get his ass kicked every night by leprechauns attracted by his hair and the promise of hard drugs, but by the time he was doing the stuff with Randy Orton and would eventually win the WWE Title from Triple H, I was ready to concede that he was pretty over. I mean, yes, this is stating the obvious and I probably should have done so in 2000, when he was already really over, but the guy did win over my stubborn heart eventually. Maybe it was just that the sea was drying up around him, but I like to think that Jeff reached a different level during that feud with Orton. I say that because I didn't think he was shit anymore. I was enjoying him and actually rooting for him to win the title. Something must have been clicking. It may have been Jeff's party jaw.
Yeah, sure, there's Immortal, Victory Road 2011 and Brother Nero, but nearly everybody goes to TNA to get paid to go to TNA and fuck around.
Here's a random question: Would you gentlemen around the Fine Oaken Table(TM) prefer to see CM Punk or Jeff Hardy back in the WWE? At this point, I'd take Jeff Hardy. CM Punk can sit in the crowd and squeal when Jeff takes his shirt off like the girls in the early 2000's.
