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 On which god forsaken planet that I never plan to visit is this true? seriously. Intergalactic space travel is still not enough to make any part of that plausible. Jeff Hardy is better than Punk at two very specific things: 1. jumping off of things, onto other things, and 2. ingesting enormous amounts of drugs.

I hope Jeff Hardy never comes back to WWE. Was never a fan of his at any time during his tenure in WWE. His promos were awful ("IM GONNA CLIMB THE LADDDDDDDDEEERRR!!!") and his drug problems never helped him much in his career in WWE. He was an okay wrestler who was more known for jumping off ladders and stuff like that. Oh and he is not more interesting than CM Punk. Punk cuts better promos, has much better matches, and is not a druggie dumbass that threw his superstardom career down the toilet.

I'd love to see Jeff in the WWE again This. The guy has the it factor, or presence would be a better way of saying it. Yes not the best mic skills, but over as f*** for most of his career and can still go. Just make sure he is clean. Him and Angle are the main one's I would love to see back, on reduced schedules with limited to no house shows. If RVD is motivated then him as well.

So I didn't read the thread. The OP has been confirmed as either Matt or Jeff yes?

he's too much of a risk and I don't see where they can plug him in. when he left he was reaching Scott Hall/Jake Roberts level unreliability. he seems to be doing fine right now in TNA but I can't see WWE having much confidence in the guy. plus, Punk has a lot more pull in WWE these days and if there's still heat between them that could be a problem for Jeff. Matt obviously has nothing at all to offer and is in the 3rd rate indy-purgatory he deserves.

I doubt we ever seen him again for a long time. Because I don't think he is on the best of terms with the WWE. So the chances of him coming back and getting a ME push is doubt full. Why? not only because his bad history with drugs and being late over the years. But when he left the WWE he told them that he wanted too take a take off. The WWE said ok, and would welcome him back open arm when he is ready.
So what does he do? First a month later the drug traffic thing comes up. That alone likely hurt Jeff a great deal on a return. Then he goes and signs with TNA. Proven that he not clean and as more issues when he showed up drugged out for a PPV ME. Has other reports of passing out and ext backstage.
Yes, he been doing ok lately. But would the WWE risk him after all of that and with being a public trade company and Linda senate compaining she been doing? Likely not.

Let's be real here, if Jeff wanted to come back, they would take him in a heartbeat.

Jeff Hardy is better than Punk at two very specific things: 1. jumping off of things, onto other things, and 2. ingesting enormous amounts of drugs. Jeff Hardy is a much better and more natural babyface than CM Punk. If things hadn't gotten f***ed up with Jeff WWE would have their Sting, imo.

I'm not a Jeff Hardy fan but I agree with you, he was insanely over with most fans and in all honesty since 2008 he improved his in-ring style and had consistently solid-good matches with most guys. He could have been their Sting if a) the horrible drug abuse stuff didn't come about and b) if WWE would have been willing to keep the rocket strapped to his back, and given how he was booked through 2009 I think they would have. Not to talk down Punk's abilities in any way, I think his face run was neutered by the lack of him being allowed to cut promos in his own unique way. Even without that he's not as able to get babyface heat the way a beaten down Jeff Hardy was.

I can't see it happening now, to be honest. Maybe bring him back in a few years to help out with developmental or something.

Speaking of merchandise sales, didn't Nexus top the list over Cena at one point?

Actually his last run he was pretty reliable. I guess all of that pent up unreliability caused what happened after he left.

I would like for Jeff to come back home to the E, myself.

Imagine if Jeff turned up high for the Smackdown MitB match, poor Dolph wouldn't have made it through the night in one piece.
Anyway I'm sure WWE would love him back for occasional appearances even if he wasn't full time.

I am a little conflicted here. I would love for both Hardy's get their life completely on track and have one more run in the WWE. It is so weird that we have reached a point that Matt screwed up worse than Jeff. I think both have been to rehab now, though Matt got kicked out once and Jeff not only got arrested after rehab; he wrestled a PPV main event trashed. Still, Jeff seems to be keeping his nose clean and Matt has not made any news outside of working a few indie matches since returning to court-required rehab.
Even if that trend continues I would be very weary of trusting them if I am the WWE. Matt has apparently had some serious back injuries so he is almost assured to have pain-killer issues should he work full time even if he tried to keep clean. Jeff has had a very long history of refusing to even admit that occasional drug use is an issue. Sure, both of them hit bottom but I think that if either of them worked full time schedules they would relapse.
I would imagine that the best either of them could manage would be limited usage, but how valuable would that be? Not even Jeff warrants being used as infrequently as the Undertaker and Matt never reached his top potential (JBL was right in 2005-8 that Matt was a main event waiting to happen, but the WWE understandably preferred to keep him in the spot he was in) so he would be of even less use.
