He looked thinner this week. Not by a ton, but I could see it. That being said, the Matt Hardy hate is getting seriously laughable. I am starting to question between this and Mickie James if there is some big pro-ana crowd in the WC that escaped my notice. I can understand "Matt looks a little out of shape", but the hyperbole could use a rest. I'm a little surprised no one has edited the video of Matt's eating competition with MVP and his current, slightly doughy physique together. The guy deserves a break, especially if he was wrestling with that injury for so damn long. It's not like he turned into Yokozuna, or even Mideon.

Fat? Pfft, hardly. He's got a little bit of pudge, but honestly he looks fine. Seriously...so many people are blowing this so far out of proportion it's insane.

But with Matt, he does have a history of wrestling in shirts, so it wouldn't be too unusual. The Hardys started wearing shirts when Michael Hayes became their manager, and didn't stop until they began their singles runs. Point taken, though I still feel that there's no need to change his look based on him gaining a bit of weight. Given a couple of months I'm sure he'll be back in shape. And I don't get the Matt hate either.

Orton and Legacy need pants and now Matt needs a shirt. Can't anyone fully dress in WWE anymore?

Tommy Dreamer has finally found an eating buddy? There you are. Killed two birds with one stone by combining an unfair crack at Matt Hardy's gut with the always popular Tommy Dreamer fat joke. Actually I find the Tommy Dreamer jokes the most unfunny thing about the Forum, that and the Mickie James Arby's crap. I can understand that, except the Dreamer jokes weren't started on the forum, Raven did that on one of his shoots.

It's not just the added weight though.
It's the fake bake, the greasy curly hair and the receeding hairline too i think. He just seems to have aged all of a sudden to me.
Ah well.

I'm still in shock that he actually turned face and didn't swerve his brother.

The Hardys (Z?) jersey he came out in made him look slimmer, which makes me think that wrestling in a shirt might help if he wants to camouflage a few lbs. His hair also looks MUCH better pulled back like it was at first this week. I noticed he looks better (slimmer, healthier) than he did the previous week. I'm not a Matt fan, but I give him major credit for already shaping up so much after surgery. (although he gets no credit for working so injured/sick-WTF Matt?). His endo-mesomorph (or meso-endomorph) body type will make it harder to lose weight as he gets older, unfortunately-he'll have to work a lot harder to lose a few than even 3-5 years ago. Just a fact of life for those of us 'lucky' enough to have those body types. : /

I think he actually has more definition now that he did before the surgery. Over the last year or so, he's had a legitimate gut going on, where as now he looks like he's beginning to trim down and get himself back into better shape. I don't understand why people here are so hyper-critical of guy's bodies, especially when it's guys who are in great shape but just don't have that Legacy male model A&F physique.
Besides, I would take him having a Dusty Rhodes gut all day over him having the terrible hair that he currently has. He just needs to embrace his receding hairline and stop trying to cover for it with mounds of greasy mess hanging on the back of his head. Even just cropping it down to a few inches in length would make it look dramatically better. There's no shame in losing your hair, and Matt Hardy is a guy the fans love and respect for his years of work and dedication the business, not because he is or ever was a sex symbol.

Oh, ho ho! I love these "fat wrestlers" running gags! Matt Hardy and Braden Walker and Tommy Dreamer are fat! Get it? It's funny because wrestling fans have screwed-up perspectives about men's bodies, and male body dysmorphia is actually really getting to be a serious societal problem! A ha ha ha funny jokes

It's because of the tights, they look really bad on him, especially the blue ones he wore last week.
Of course he isn't in the shape he used to be, but the tights make it look worse because they draw so much attention to his weird legs and gut. And this week he already looked a little better, perhaps he came back too soon from his injury.

Homebody needs to ditch the tights, put on a Hardyz Jersey, change the hair-do drastically, and do alot of cardio: Stat. Even if he does all that, not sure if I'll like him again. But at least he won't be hard to watch on-screen.

If Matt Hardy's fat, I'd sure love to be fat.

He does look terrible, and like someone in an earlier post said, it's not just his added weight. His hair looks terrible, his complexion is rough and the guy's always had a goofy looking face.
He doesn't look like a performer in his prime, getting ready for a major push. He looks more like one of these washed up legends who make occasional "special" appearances.

Matt Hardy needs to invest in a shirt He also needs to invest in some charisma and a haircut and in a voice that doesnt sound like an asthmatic 6 year old girl shouting and in some personality and in some believable looking punches and in breast reduction surgery and in some new tights

A ha ha ha funny jokes Its been happening for ages. Everyone was keen on labelling JBL as fat and out of shape, likewise with HHH in early 04 when he had a bit of a belly. Or are people only allowed to make fun of non smark favourites?

I dunno it's a wrestling show, if you want to look at hot men then go look at Calvin Klein ads or something.
