I like where they are going with Matt Hardy

That gimmick ended how many years ago? When is Matt Hardy going to do something...anything, which says "Hey, I am Matt Hardy, and I am aware this year is 2010 and I need to do something." Kurt Angle continues to have great matches. Triple H is working with creative. John Cena has been willing to put over guys like Sheamus and Nexus, which is something so many other guys wouldn't do. Randy Orton has been on fire lately. The Miz has moved merchandise and has been turning out constantly improved work. Kofi Kingston has a great match with anybody he works with. Matt Hardy is not a talentless hack, and if he got himself back on track, stopped speaking out about the company and put the sort of effort in that demanded attention rather than cried about not getting it -- Hardy could be amazing. Right now, he's an enhancement guy that's hard to get behind because his only perpetuating feature is his heat from years back.

Well to counter that, John Cena, Randy Orton and Triple H are doing the same mannerisms that got them over in the first place.

Also...it's not as if Matt has creative control with his character's direction. I'd feel safe saying he's not happy with his gimmick. The guys you've mentioned have also been in and stayed in the good graces of WWE. Matt, for whatever reasons,bhas never been seen to bne taken seriously enough to be elevated or to be in a position to be elevated like Kolfi is right now.

I'm not trying to make excuses for the guy. I agree that he is out of shape, phones in his matches, and has a "don't give a fuck" demeanor. Not to mention not doing himself any favors by constantly throwing bitch fits on the internet. But that doesnlt mean he is not justified in feeling the way he does.
