The Edge/Lita wedding spot was epic. the whole audience freaked out. That was like one of the first times when the WWE really started "hearing" the internet. Like they knew everyone knew what was going on backstage with the 3 and they played up that. I think they saw how the audience reacted during the wedding and just said fuck it, he's coming back.

The initial comeback was pretty sweet as I recall and definately a mark out moment. Then I think they had him get beat up pretty bad in his first match back on Raw and made him look weak and everything fizzled out pretty fast. Just another one of those angles where they could of made him into a huge babyface, but it got fucked up pretty quick. Kind of reminds me of Buff back in WCW when the fans were going nuts for him after his neck injury and then they killed it and turned him heel and made him Steiners bitch.

Exactly this. Matt Hardy never really evolved his game past Mattitude, and while a good worker, he was never on the level of the all-time greats. There was something there, though, and I think money could have been made off it if they had just squeezed the trigger a little harder.
