Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy: WHY?

I don't think it should be for the IC title though, since that fued would have plenty of dynamic on it's own. As for the Matt Hardy thing, got me thinking... A Matt Hardy/Jeff Hardy fued would be so great sometime down the road, except for the fact that it'd fail where it could be amazing..the promo department. Neither has the ability to carry the ball with the promos, which would be a huge part of such a fued. It'd still be interesting, and probably should still happen, but thanks to neither one of them being any good on the stick a potentially classic fued will fall short.

Well, I am a huge mark for him, but Matt Hardy is nowhere near as bad on the mic as people make him out to be. Especially as a heel, which he would be in this feud. Just have him act all cocky, like the asshole bigger brother. Have him talk about how he always got the girls, he always got the better grades, he talked Jeff into the business, he worked harder to be the better wrestler, and he pretty much carried their team to Tag Team Titles, but somehow Jeff keeps pulling in front of him, and he realises now that he has to choose between letting Jeff Hardy criminally overshadow him, and being a good soul; or squashing the leech and choosing this business he has proved he is willing to lose everything for. I can see Matt actually giving a great promo like that, and just turning into a dick who says that Jeff makes physical sacrifices, but he makes personal ones.

You know what would be seriously awesome, though? Matt Hardy and Triple H start hanging around as heels after WrestleMania. The two are just a more natural fit than Trips & Jeff, in my opinion, and in some kind of new heel stable (maybe with HBK, in that proposed heel answer to DX), they would be pretty great. Matt could become Triple H's "Cerebral Apprentice," or something. Matt Hardy could even win the US Title from MVP, and then the IC Title from Jeff Hardy, and carry both belts around for the while (he needs to become a little more decorated, in my opinion). It'd be a great way to go if they decided to end the brand split, I think. Have Matt Hardy unify the secondary titles.

I can understand you not thinking that Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy needs to be for the IC Title, and I somewhat agree, but I think it would add to the feud, at least a little. I'm sick of the IC Title being left of the Mania card, and Triple H being involved in an IC Title match would be one of the few ways I can see the WWE making the belt Mania worthy. Triple H costing Jeff the belt when their feud picks up, would be fine, as well. Part of me just wants to see some parallels between Matt & Jeff at WrestleMania, though, and them both challenging for secondary titles is the most realistic, at this point.
