Jeff Hardy's apparently getting a big push somehow, as Triple H seems to think he's worth saving.
What are your thoughts.

As long as he doesn't do something stupid, I finally think this is the big break for him to go to the next level.

I think they should give him a real chance and not a throwaway title match at Random PPV, loss via RKO and goodbye).
But Jericho's comeback doesn't sound well for Jeff's chances.
Anyway a program with (against?) Triple H ain't bad either. Especially if Jeff can somehow survive the Game, whether it's in terms of face v face popularity or in terms of face v heel "physical integrity" (ie. not being pedigreed into oblivion)

Even though I'm a huge Jeff Hardy fan, I just don't he's a) built enough (and I know that's not really a valid excuse, considering Rey and such) or b) good enough on the mike (not that that's ever stopped, say, Khali).
Actually, never mind, I take it back. He might just make it to the top.

Yes, he certainly has the fan support to at least get one chance.
But, he can't smurf it up.

If he keeps up the good work, sure.
The fans even seem to be able to overlook his lame mic skills.

Make it? The guy is so over, he has made it and beyond.

If Trips is really behind him and he doesn't screw up again, there is no way he will not be in the World Title scene by Summerslam.

He has a lot of fans and definitely could make a short run at the top, the only thing that would stop him is if he f***s up.

He hasn't really "made it" in WWE terms. Making it is being WWE Champ for at least a year in my opinion... (Cena, Batista), and Jeff hasn't even reached RVD, Edge, Booker, or Khali's level.
He's obviously over with the fans but there is something holding him back. Personally, I'm just not into the character at all.

Being one of the most over people on the roster.. one of the biggest merch sellers... and just about to start working main event programs with the company's biggest stars? That's not making it... That's the Hollywood equivalent of saying Paul Giamatti hasn't made it because he's not Brad Pitt or George Clooney. |

I have my doubts. But I would love to be proven wrong.

Roddy Piper, Mr. Perfect, Scott Hall, etc. have all "made it" but have never gotten a World Title in WWE or WCW. Jeff Hardy is one of the most over people and was part of one of the greatest tag teams, he has made it. |

IMO Jeff is where a certain Bret Hart was around Summerslam 1992.
Midcard champion, very over with the crowd, good matches (albeit in a very very very different way), a bit lacking in the promo department.
Jeff just needs the finishing touch to his push, and Triple H may be the one who can provide it.

I do not understand why Jeff gets loud pops, even if they are mostly from female fans. Why would they cheer for a multi time drug user, who could go over the edge at any time - including during his 'big push'.

For the same reason they cheered for a wife beater, and for several drug/pain killers addicts and alcoholics. And for the same reasons many still admire the ringwork of a murderer... |

As long as he doesn't screw it up, he'll get to the main event.
I definitely think the WWE is setting him up to do well in the Rumble, and win Money In The Bank.

I don't see why not. Tons of people like him, and it would be refreshing to see him headline some PPVs.
