Does anybody want Jeff Hardy back besides Jeff Hardy fans? I want Jeff back because he can put guys over. Like I said before, he can be solely used for his drawing ability while not being given anything else.

He's still more entertaining than Phil Brooks, isn't he? Also, he looks much better, despite being older. You mean the same guy who was getting cheered last night for what he did to THE ROCK? Hardy has fans but not near the level of Punk, nor has Hardy ever had fans like Punk does currently. I like Punk more than Hardy, but Jeff has more mainstream appeal for whatever reason with WWE's casual fans. Aside from John Cena, Jeff Hardy was the most consistent draw in WWE over the last decade.

TNA can keep him. But then again, this is a trolling thread, so.....*leaves* Pretty much. Never got the appeal of either Hardy anyway. Matt's mediocre at best and Jeff is sloppier but can do a cool dive move. Neither can talk, one is a constant risk and the other pretended he was going to kill himself for attention. Wacky thing is, there WAS a point, absolutely, where Matt could have been a big deal. He was right in his wheelhouse around 2003-2004, when Jeff was f***ing up left and right, but Matt was putting on great matches AND great promos. If someone in charge had pulled the trigger to put him in the main event then....history and general opinion of the Hardys, or Matt at least, might be a lot different.

Hardy is a better wrestler than Punk. Punk is better with promos than Hardy. I think Hardy is a little more popular than Punk. Although, they both have the same fan base (teenage girls ). And yes Punk is very popular with teenage girls (before someone complains about that point I made) Hardy sells more merchandise. In fact he is only behind Cena as the top selling in the last 10 years. I like Hardy and will like to see him back in the WWE. But

The thing is, they DID give Matt a platform when he came back in 2005. The fans wanted him, he was in great shape, and was on the very cusp of being huge. Then he made THAT promo.

I can see them bringing Jeff back. He made them quite a bit of money, was over, and was a unique character. If they're willing to take a chance with Orton they'd do the same with Jeff. If Jeff stayed in the WWE we probably would've had our Cena heel turn.

And even after THAT promo, the guy was still over. If there was any midcarder that should've gotten a push to the moon to the World Title it would be Matt Hardy. Both Hardys didn't really need "mic skills" to get over. They both had plenty of charisma to make up for it.

I'd say they're atleast 2 years of Jeff staying clean and without legal incident before they'd trust him again.

Oh, they would take him back in a heartbeat. Problem is, he probably wouldn't last long.

Forget a different planet , That's from a completely different dimension where how good a wrestler you are is based off how often you jump off of high things in a way that annihilates all semblance of match psychology.

Would the third strike apply to a returning employee or would he have to fail a drug tests three times before being released? He didn't violate the third strike, so he would technically be rehirable.

If he returns, he still has two strikes. The only way to lose a strike is to fail three times and be fired, stay gone for a year and go to rehab. WWE then will consider rehiring that person with 2 strikes on their record. For example, Booker still has 2 strikes even though he left and went to TNA after getting the second.

Jeff Hardy's body probably isn't in the best condition either.

Both Hardys didn't really need "mic skills" to get over. They both had plenty of charisma to make up for it. He also had the Survivor Series incident where he was supposed to take a chokeslam from Taker, but bailed from the ring. Yeah, he didn't want to take a chokeslam from Taker, and thought it would be cool. Matt not being a main eventer is more Matt's fault. If Jeff continues to show that he has cleaned up his act, I can see WWE taking a chance on him. He'd still be on a tight leash, though. And not just with the 2 strikes, they'd be all over him to make sure there isn't a Victory Road incident at any show.
