Matt Hardy: The Reinvention of a Career

**Mr. C** · 09-15-2010, 03:31 AM

Okay, this is something that’s been brewing in my head for a while. Matt Hardy is over, but that’s because of his association in a team years ago, and it’s time for him to move on. This thread is about what changes are needed to his character.

Hardy reminds me a bit of Bradshaw after WrestleMania XX. If you’d told me he’d become the WWE Champion at the time, I would’ve laughed, but he reinvented himself. That’s the kind of crossroad I see Hardy at. If he stays the same as he is now, he could easily be left behind. He has all the talent he needs to make it work and has improved enough in the ring that he could become something special. If he doesn’t, I fear he’ll always be trapped in his brother’s shadow and never really move on.

I’m hoping that he gets a makeover in terms of his look. Changing his music and getting rid of the beard could help. What Hardy should do is do what Stone Cold Steve Austin did while Bret Hart was taking time off and start calling out Triple-H. Talk him until he decides to answer Hardy’s challenge and face him at Survivor Series.
