Matt vs. Jeff: Who is the Bigger Fuck Up?

**CSL** · 08-22-2011, 06:20 PM

Just want to point out this misconception that Jeff Hardy threw however many opportunities or whatever away. This is a guy who personally chose to walk away from his headline spot as quite literally the most popular wrestler on the planet and repeated big money, long term contract offers from Vince to stay in WWE. The biggest thing he's "thrown away" was his recent TNA run in which, from an "artistic standpoint", he was probably better than he's ever been. He'd clearly stopped caring/was completely burnt out by the time his 2003 WWE release came around and he simply stopped showing up at TNA shows during his first stint there, showing how much he really cared. And in both of those instances, he returned to those companies and achieved unparalleled success in regards to what he'd done there previously.

This is a 200/210lb guy without a muscle in sight that pretty much does as he pleases in a business where it does you good to say "yes please" who became the most popular wrestler on Earth and a multiple time World champion. I'd have a hard time calling him the biggest fuck up over any wrestler that has a slight fondness for pills or has a suspension in their past, let alone Matt who appears to have gone off into the deep end and seems to be trying to revel in the image he has created of himself when in fact it's probably going to scare away the few places he could make the living he'd like to.

A few years ago I'd have bet that Matt Hardy could have been employed for life with WWE with much to offer once his active days were done whereas Jeff was always going to pretty much come and go as he pleases since wrestling clearly isn't "the be all and end all" for him. The so-called "biggest fuck-up" is definitely Matt out of the two. Helms is on the verge of being a "never was" at this point. His injury fucked him over at his hottest point/the worst possible time for him, he took 8 steps back upon his return, never recovered, was released and made some dick comments about Shawn Michaels.
