This is my first thread and i wanted to do one about one of my favourite wrestlers. I put it in wwe cause i'm talking about his popularity in his wwf/wwe run.
Simple question why do u think he was so over in your opinion. Was it his looks or wrestling style? His charisma? Or just because the crowd loved to yell holy S#&t after seeing him flip off a 20 foot ladder?
Anwser away my newly found crappers ;D

Because he was different. It's amazing what using your own personality to get over can do.

Because he did all the stunts and he was a free spirit as he would say, I think the fans liked his laid back attitude

He went balls out in the ring and had a ton of charisma. The audience dug it. Especially after his return. He was kind of a breath of fresh air and truth be told he gelled into a hell of a performer. The WWE couldn't ignore it any longer and was given the ball. And took it to Orlando. Ah, well.

He stands out in the crowded field of generic mediocrity.

Good booking combined with a stand-out personality made him the main event star that he became.

As much as he may have screwed up, he is Jeff Hardy and the fans appreciated that he was a real person. That and as much as opinion differ, he IS damn good at what he does.

It's impossible to quantify it. It's an "it" factor that a select few people have, which we subconsciously pick up on and connect to.
Even without knowing anything about Jeff Hardy's life and career and legal issues, something about him as he's performing tells you that he's pushing himself towards self-destruction, that a part of him is beyond caring about money or fame or his own well-being. Other wrestlers can reproduce his stunts, and many can perform similar high-flying spots far more competently, but there's an inherent Jeff Hardyness to Jeff Hardy that's immensely appealing to a certain audience and impossible to reproduce.
