I think Jeff is more likely to hurt someone else before himself because at this point, the guy just looks like he wrestles in pain every night he's in the squared circle. When you have someone who can't perform to the best of his ability in wrestling, major injuries could be avoided. But if Jeff can't hit his moves the "proper" way, I feel it puts his opponents at a bigger risk than himself.

Okay hear me out on this one... Jeff is clearly in a very bad state physically as we've all seen and read from reports. You have to understand why Tony would've wanted Jeff on AEW but it's too little too late, Jeff is busted.
How can you use him? He's not really a promo guy, he doesn't have a history of doing anything good except for play the victim of some sort of abuse... If you think through the AEW roster there is really only one option for a meaningful story right now. I think if we are able to find a reason to star a program with MJF and Jeff Hardy, you'd have some really special. It would be similar to his program with Punk years ago likely which will make it even better because CM Punk can come in and try to play hero and end up getting involved in a new main event storyline. This way you could have Jeff on TV without wrestling every week, because MJF rarely wrestles and mostly does angles. Matt can play a part of course too and can be the mic man for some angles. Why not stretch it out even longer and have Darby and Sting also come to stand by Jeff and Matt. That way MJF can have a slew of friends to go at before taking on Jeff one on one. Perhaps they could even settle the score between MJF and Jeff Hardy in a ladder match with The Dynamite Ring above or maybe a briefcase with a contract for a match with Punk for the title. I'd like to see Jeff turned around all together and treated as a legend and a draw when he wrestles. Take advantage of what you paid for, build it up, don't run it into the ground. We don't need Jeff taking ladder bumps on TV. |

I’m worried about the whole Jeff situation.

I feel like he's been close to a career ending injury for a long time

How you have a tournament in the name of Owen Hart and don’t use the opportunity to have twin trophies is beyond me. I’d go as far as to say it is promotional malpractice.

They do have cups too, which are nice. Guess the belts are easier to carry around but I stick by the idea that the trophies should have been like Slammy award trophies.

Boy I agree with a lot of what’s being said in here.
Malakai needs a major push. Get him rolling to be Punk’s first ppv opponent. It’sa really fresh matchup and Malakai is a fresh world title program. Punk can have some matches with Brody and Matthews. |

100p agree. Is Sting legit hurt so they wrote him off for a little while? If so why was that, and the win over Darby, wasted on Kyle O’Riley.
Have House of Black target the word title and Punk. He gets beat down a few times by surprise, and then Darby and Sting back up Punk since they’ve had loose alliances in the past. Have a 6 man tag, house of black take out Sting leading to a lot of heat for them. Then you’ve got a good number of options between Punk vs Matthews, Punk vs Brody, Punk/Darby vs Matthews/Brody, Darby bumping like crazy against each member of House of Black. You can have Punk talking about “do you think you’re the first guy to start a cult? Go ask Sereena Deeb who her new hair stylist is” You can have House of Black trying to corrupt Darby since he’s a lil emo and would fit their gothic look. Have them mention how since his loss to Punk he’s been on a downward spiral, losing to hacks like Jeff Hardy and Kyle O’Riley. There’s a lot to do there |

That’sa brilliant idea. Could even have Malakai spew his poisonous mist into Darby’s eyes, and start trying to lure Darby to the dark side while Sting keeps pulling him back to the light. All Out could see Buddy and Brody v Darby and Sting with Punk and Black main eventing.
Darby v Matthews would be a banger for sure. |

I wonder if he even views Malakai on that level. He certainly did upon debut but then he dumped down the card to work with the YouTube squad.
