Is this what Matt Hardy has been reduced to?

[Trent Valentine]

Last week on Smackdown, his "Valentine" was Maria..on top of that he's still teaming with the second coming of Giant Gonzales. You all have to admit that he deserves better than what he's getting. Edge ascended to main Event status..why can't he?

[BxB]

Because he butchered his return promo in 2005, basically ending any chances of becoming a main-eventer? He's just never been someone I've seen as a main-eventer.

He's fat, can't talk on the mic, hasn't evolved in the ring in years, etc.

Im a Matt Hardy fan, but come on. Edge >>>> Matt

[Ryushinku]

He didn't put in the hard work just when he needed it the most, he's still wooden on the mic and bless him but he's got chubby even without the recent abdomenal surgery. His focus is lacking and he often seems more interested in taking shots on the Net than knuckling down.

Matt in a good frame of mind can still pull off a very good match these days. But he's not in that frame of mind enough and a lot of his wounds are self-inflicted.

Harsh I know...

But he'll probably have a longer career then most of the other wrestlers currently because he is still fairly over and is great in making look others good.

Uh, no.

Yeah.

He's not even a clean version of Jeff either, he just can't fly/move as fluidly like his brother, which is why he didn't get a huge push after Jeff left.

[AriadosMan]

IN A WORLD...WHERE GREAT KHALI IS MORE OVER THAN MATT HARDY...

[Bubble Lead]

If he could talk on the mic, he would be going somewhere.

Imagine what someone like Mick Foley, Steve Austin, or Ric Flair could have done on the mic with the real life situation Matt went through in 2005? Compare that with what Matt did with it. That is why those guys were all main eventers and Matt hasn't came close.

There's also the teensy minor details that Jeff was busted for drug possession right after leaving, then showed up on TNA programming.

Matt is lucky he's not wrestling in a pink tutu and glittery tiara.

because of his brother

[VengeanceGOD]

Matt is over like nobody's business. Whenever his music hits, he gets a louder pop than some of the main eventers do.

But he's got no ability to talk (of course, neither did his brother) and while he's technically better in the ring than Jeff, he doesn't have the excitement factor of "How will he kill himself next?"

Couldn't agree with you more Scotty..

[Massive G]

because Matt Hardy is terrible?

[Jason]

He should be the intercontinental champion and have a good run with that. I could see him having good feuds and matches with Ziggles, Rey, Morrison and if they go over to Smackdown, Bourne and Swagger. I wouldn't mind MVP going back to Smackdown and having a team with him again either.

But right now, he should be teaming with R-Truth, not Khali. No chemistry at all, atleast it's known that R-Truth and him are buddies and they have the whole "Carolina Connection" thing going too.

[Ben Wyatt]

I like Matt Hardy. Have been a fan of his from the get go.

I think he deserves better than he's getting right now. But the reality is, Matt Hardy just isnt good enough to be a main eventer.

He's a very solid (but not great) worker and he's always been pretty over. He has charisma, but the problem is that he lacks that next "gear" that Jeff has.

His mic skills arent very good (though they're also not as bad as his infamous promo on Edge would suggest).

That said, he should be in the IC title hunt. He's a perfect choice to be invovled there. He's over enough and has enough credibility to help get others over with him.

I really dont think Matt is too bothered by his status. He's got a solid position on the roster and he gets TV time every week. and it isnt like he's being totally buried. Simply put: some guys are meant to be mid carders. Matt Hardy is one of them

[Schemer]

Matt just doesn't have the "it" factor to be a main eventer. If he could talk, then maybe, but he can't.
