Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Saturn, Chris Jericho, Goldberg, Brian Pillman, etc. All of those guys were WCW "cast-offs" and brought into the WWE with a lot of hype (the Radicals as a group) and didn't need being built up from the ground. But hey...when WCW did it, they were getting guys with no talent...(or not...considering they got most of the WWF's top stars.) And don't forget that the driving force behind the biggest boom period in wrestling and arguably the biggest star in wrestling history was a guy who WCW let go because they saw him as a midcarder who'd never really amount to anything. I feel like a complete idiot because I should know and just can't think of it, but who?

Dwayne Johnson wasn't good enough for the WCW Power Plant.

Wait, the WCW Power Plant who got Goldberg in, showed him how to throw a punch, how to kick, how to do a spear and how to do the Jackhammer, and said "yep, we're done, who's next?". Which is wher Goldberg got his catchphrase.

I wouldve LOVED to have been in that gym while Matt was cutting that promo. Just stood there, thinking "WTF?"

When he debuted the pic of himself without a shirt after he lost weight, I was thinking, shouldn't he be going to another part of the gym, it's not the most sanitary to be taking your shirt off in the gym like that.

What an ass - he didn't even re-rack his plates. ;D
I hope TNA works out better for him, as he was made really irrelevant by the time he left WWE. He's better off in a company that actually embraces tag-team wrestling, even if they don't have the exposure and financial clout that WWE does.

How is being in a company with a good tag division going to help Matt though? His brother is already the TNA world champion. Would he seriously want to bother with Matt again?
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Matt Hardy reeks of that jobber guy that thinks he is cool and wants to join the NWO, only to get beaten down and then buried.

For all the youtube shooting he does - his promos still suck.
"Finally the handcuffs are off, the shackles have been unlocked, no longer do I have boundaries, no longer do I have parameters. They tried to destroy me, they tried to kill me . . ."
Repeating the same things. In different ways. Saying the same words, but with other words that have the same definition. Reiterating the same point with nearly identical phrasing and diction. Matt Hardy does promos. Matt Hardy says words.

Oh my hairy mother. It took all of three seconds for that video to send my leg into intrinsic cringe mode. I mean there are bits I like, but overall it whiffs of monumental cringe. Wrestling promos just fail out of context. Was this what he meant when he implied he'd be revolutionizing the industry? Cutting the standard indy heel promo (with a bit of pomp) on user generated video sites.

Pretty much like TNA did with EV2.0. It's always the same thing.
