Something that bothers me about the Edge/Matt Hardy 2005 fued.

[Nark Order]

So, I will say that this fued was probably my favorite fued in the past 6-7 years or so. They had SO MUCH to work with, there was no way it couldn't have been gold. So, the matches were awesome, the spots were awesome, the Matt/Lita and Lita/Edge promos were awesome, but there were a couple things that really bothered me about everything. When I go back and watch those matches, JR and King were being real bastards on commentary, almost so much that it took away from the matches to me. They were constantly breaking kayfabe with Matt Hardy/Internet comments. I mean, they weren't all that much out of context, but Hardy was supposed to be the super face in all of this ad it seems like all they ever did was cut the fool down. I reamember a couple specifically.

King: Think Matt and Lita will ever get back together?
JR: Maybe they can text message each other.

JR: I don't want to think of the vile thoughts going through these men's heads at the moment.
King: Hardy is probably thinking about what he's going to send to Edge in a nasty e-mail after the match.

And yes, Ill admit that they were pretty damn funny sometimes but looking back, it really took some momentum away from hardy in a time that he needed all that he could get. They were really building Edge being a vile, woman stealing asshole but were cutting down Hardy at the same time? How does that work?

ALSO, QUESTION: Would Matt Hardy have even gotten his job back if had not riled the fans into a frenzy on the internet?

It almost seemed like everyone was bitter that he developed such a giant fan base on the internet alone.
