Speaking of Hardy's promo(s)...

There might be something bigger at work than the swerve. I noticed when Jeff spoke in both the in ring and pre-recorded directed at Angle that his delivery, mannerisms, and style of dress was less crazy Jefflike and a little more... Raven-esque? Especially the "You say you want me Kurt... don't they all?" And the whole "Anti-Christ of Professonal Wrestling"? Just add a "Quote the Raven, nevermore." I really expected him to slump in the corner after the live bit about Immortal and living forever. There are truly worse people he could mold himself after. More practice, and he could pull off the heartless, self-absorbed, apathetic degenerate (yes, I realize I left that open for a joke about his personal issues) with much success and many a fangirl hearts a-breaking.

Now think about the TNA agents and the EV2.0 guys. Not so much the in-ring stuff, but the fact that, backstage, they have guys like Al Snow, Raven, and Richards. Not saying they're heading up creative or anything, but they might be doing some coaching...?

What? An actual far-reaching plan (albeit backstage plan) by TNA? Maybe I'm giving TNA too much credit. Time will tell.

I agree with most of it about Raven-esque thing. I even told my brother this. But when you say "There are truly worse people he could mold himself after." Raven is one of the best promo guys I've ever seen. You make him sound as if he sucked on the mic or something (Raven).

Degrading Raven wasn't the intent at all.

If it were, I would have said "There are truly BETTER people he could mold himself after", or "there are tons of other people he could have modeled himself after, why'd he pick that asshole?". See how I chose my wording there?

Raven is one of the best minds in the business, especially in promos, and if it'll help Jeff get better talking on the mic and get over in other ways than taking his shirt off mid-match for the screaming 12 year old cheerleaders who touch themselves to his photo at night or being a spot monkey, all power to it.
