I think most regular fans still associate Matt Hardy with Lita. It should't be too much of a leap to get Hardy and Edge into a feud with ach other for Summerslam.
The WWE probably did it to test the waters to see how much of an ovation Hardy will get when he returns. I've always been a Matt fan, so I will mark out like a little bitch when he returns. I have a feeling the WWE has always been high on Matt, and I think if he can hold his shit together, Edge and Hardy could really help each other to the top of the business.
I was just thinking earlier that Edge vs. Matt Hardy is the type of feud where new ideas come into play. Matches like the Hell in a Cell basically run off feuds like Edge and Matt would have, and if Edge and Hardy can bring i a new concept, I think it would easily become an epic feud we will all look back on.
Just re-hire Matt Hardy already. The fans want to see it and if the WWE lets TNA get his hands on him it could be a major blow to the WWE. Hardy himself isn't that much of a star, but he's got the potential and the passion to really make himself work as a major contender for the top title somewhere. Plus he may just have the dirt to cut a juicy shoot promo, which is just the stuff ROH and TNA can really draw fans from just a little bit of a larger radius with. And besides, no one in wrestling is really seen as an icon anymore. Cena and Batista aren't even at that level yet. Now is the time companies should be letting their talent fly around, do what they can do, cut promos, etc. It seperates the Samoa Joes, CM Punks & Christopher Danielses from the rest, and right now Matt Hardy is one of the hottest names in the business, and one that can grab attention.
I read an interview somewhere with Booker T, where he said the WWE are still looking for that top star. I doubt Hardy can be that top star, but he can easily rise up with Edge and really add depth to the main event level, which is how you're going to weed out that top star from the mid-carders, lower-carders and forced main-eventers.
