I really hope they keep Hardy out of the MITB match and have him face Shawn Michaels in a rematch at WrestleMania.

The selling at the end did bug me, yeah, but apart from that the rest of the match was sublime and great to watch.
Props to everyone involved.

After one watch I said ***3/4 and a definite WWE match of the year contender. Someone would seriously have to do some major nit-picking to start finding faults in this one. After the Rumble I'm ecstatic Hardy is still getting pushed strong. Hell he's beaten DX clean in the middle over the past 2 months. Someone say that they saw that coming last August when he "disappeared" for a month. But Hardy was supposed to be buried? I wonder where all those that said he was buried are now? ;D |

I say ***1/2 out of four
Which to me is as high as a match with no actual "consequence" can get. The other half a star is for the build up/ ramifications. Its still pro wrestling and story still matters.

One sunny day doesnt make a summer. True, but I think many of us are delighted to see that Jeff's push isn't as dead as was once thought. |

One sunny day doesnt make a summer. God damnit, Jeff IS NOT getting buried. Seriously, I can usually see valid reasons when someone claims someone is getting buried whether I agree or not, but in this case it's just ludicrous. Jeff Hardy has scored clean wins over Kennedy, over Umaga, over HHH and now over HBK. Despite a loss to Orton at the Royal Rumble he still looked red hot during the whole feud. Most matches he's in (be it single or tag) end with his music playing, with him waving his little arms about and with the fans going crazy for him. He's getting a superman push that's only rivaled by Cena yet people keep screaming "BURIAL!". Why? I would kill for Y2J (my favourite right now despite mixed reactions he gets) to received this same treatment so just STOP! |

Again I REALLY hate this Jeff Hardy god push Um...too bad? It seems to not be losing any steam whatsoever, and most people seem to appreciate it...include me among them. I've been wanting to see this push for years and years now. You're well within your rights to not like it...I just don't see what that comment contributed to the conversation whatsoever. It doesn't contribute at all. Just like how he likes to point out that SAMOA JOE IS FAT HURR HURR in the TNA threads. Or at least he used to. The point is I'm really pleasantly surprised by the push Jeff has been getting despite what happened in August. The real test for the WWE though is A) What will they do from here B) Will Matt's return push be truncated in favor of his brother (though I can't see why, they aren't even on the same show) |

It was a very good match, but I can still see HHH winning the Chamber. It will come down to Hardy, Shawn and HHH as the final three though, there's no doubt in my mind of that.

Yeah, the fans want Jeff to win it feels like.
Too bad hhhe has not chance.
Great match though. I liked Jericho vs. JBL a lot too.

I love it.
Now checking out the match because I was pretty dead at 4am this morning but, HBK...Hardy...main event it's just great.
A nice change to the usual is this Hardy push.

Good match, its also nice to see Hardy welcomed to the main event tier with wins over DX in the lat 5 months.
This is what the WWE needs to-do quite badly, get "new" main eventers by getting older talent to put them over.

I think they were doing that with guys like Kennedy last year, but he mucked it up for himself. |

Again I REALLY hate this Jeff Hardy god push When are you happy with a push then? They've hardly made him out to be a god, considering he jobbed clean at the last PPV. Seriously, when is it ok for someone to be pushed? How do they push them to a higher level without giving them big wins over big stars? People always say they want wrestlers to look more human before they can like him, I hear that with Cena all the time. In wrestling though, when you are pushing someone to the main event you have to keep them winning. If people have this view with every pushed wrestler than they are never going to like the main event scene - because everyone got there via a 'god push'. |

Definately not ****+, but an excellent match, very entertaining. I agree with Caldwell's point that the commentary added a lot to the match. It was stellar as well.

Yeah, the fans want Jeff to win it feels like. Too bad hhhe has not chance. Great match though. I liked Jericho vs. JBL a lot too. I wouldn't say that about Trips.....yet. From the job in December, to fellow Klique buddy HBK taking the pin for Jeff Hardy... You know, one compares how HBK within last 2 months jobbed to Jeff Hardy and Mr. Kennedy on free TV, two top-midcard acts that WWE either is pushing to enter the main event scene permanently, or wants to. Yet.....I think the Hardy match worked better for its intended purpose than the Kennedy match did. From the foot-in-mouth public disaster to everything else, Kennedy is like for 2007/2008 like Triple H was 1996-1997... A top mid-card act that the promoter wants in the main event, but crowds won't get behind...yet. Of course, in this age of WWE where the villains lose weekly, its hard to build credibility for a heel like Kennedy. Either way, Jeff Hardy is DEFINATELY not buried, no sir yee! I mean, with the WWE website pimping him up as possibly bound for WrestleMania(!) to his mug being the banner ad for NO WAY OUT on this website.... I say Trips wins Elimination Chamber, which is fine....not inspiring, but whatever.....its just, how will they work the Hardy elimination? |
