I kinda wish there was more Jeff Hardy on Impact

[Jimmy]

This is a surprising fact for me because I've never particularly cared for Hardy and I though turning him heel was pretty stupid, but over the last few weeks I've really started to dig the character. And so I find it pretty disappointing that many weeks he only appears in a segment or two and then isn't on the show anymore.

I've realized though that I like the idea of the character more than the actual execution thus far, as I feel like he needs to strip away more pieces of his fan-friendly identity (ala Jericho). He should continue to dress a bit more formally and wear purple, and I feel that when he paints his face he should only paint half of it like on a recent Impact. It really gives off that Harvey Dent/Two Face vibe.

and I think he's actually gotten better at promos. "What is friendship?" still sounds incredibly stupid the sudden dark twist on "and a lot of people are confused, they don't think I give anymore. But I think it's pretty obvious I still give. I give away concussions - and they're f***ing free."




So yeah, I'd like to see TNA get him a little more involved in the show especially while they can given the news of the plea bargain and all.

I still don't understand his new character at all. He's a Raven-esque loner who turned his back on the fans, which is fine, but then he also has a whole stable full of allies, wants to be the company's golden boy and cuts promos that aren't really heel or face. This is either the deepest character wrestling has ever had, or the most stupid. Guess which one I'm leaning towards?

Yeah Jeff, that's the personification of evil right there.

Who said he's a loner?
He doesn't need the fans anymore but I think that's the extent of it.
Besides, Raven always had his cronies around too.

I don't see what else he has to say in his promos to hammer the fact that he's a heel in people's heads.
"Screw the people, I give Concussions, This company needs me, etc."

I think he's actually great as a sneaky strange lonesome heel...way better than I expected! :tu

If I had to pick, I'd rather have more Hardy than Bischoff.

Bischoff is just as bad as guys like Hogan who are so desperate to stay on camera they'll keep playing a character 10 years past its prime.

Hardy reinvented himself and my natural inclination to boo Hardy at least makes it work on some level.

Everything Bischoff is doing is what Hardy should be doing. Leading Jarrett and Abyss, wielding power, running roughshod over people...

TNA gets a lot of slack.
But. They turned Jeff Hardy Heel..and it works. Really well.
This is something the 'E tried and couldn't ..

Even In-Ring, surprisingly, Jeff gets it more than he probably ever did before. It's cool. I think he's enjoying himself.

"The antichrist of professional wrestling" still is stupid and makes no sense. The first few weeks were a bit rough "what is friendship?"

He's handled it a lot better now, it's a bit unfortunate that it took this unplanned concussion storyline to give him some good material though.
