Matt's really resurrected himself from the dead with this ROH run. I always thought he was a great talent, and when he's motivated and not on drugs, he's an incredible asset to have.

Everything I've seen of Matt in ROH has been absolute gold, is there anyone who's followed his whole run that can comment?

When ROH first relaunched under the Sinclair TV deal, I watched a few episodes online, but that was it, and haven't really followed it since, so, what is SCUM, and is that a shot at Aces 8s, after mentioning the rivalry, there?

Matt Hardy has done some of the best work of his career in Ring of Honor.

When ROH first relaunched under the Sinclair TV deal, I watched a few episodes online, but that was it, and haven't really followed it since, so, what is SCUM, and is that a shot at Aces 8s, after mentioning the rivalry, there? S.C.U.M. (Suffering, Chaos, Ugliness & Mayhem) was originally a trio consisting of Kevin Steen, Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino, three guys legitimately held down by ROH, or more specifically Jim Cornette. Kevin Steen was sent home for a year and Jacobs & Corino were not offered a contract until they won the ROH World Tag Team Championship. earlier this year S.C.U.M. transformed from a trio to the standard large heel faction when they added Rhino, and then at the 11th Anniversary Show added Jimmy Rave, Rhett Titus, Cliff Compton and Matt Hardy. Steen didn't like the inclusion of Hardy, which led to him getting kicked out of the group, and the ROH/S.C.U.M. rivalry lasted until June when they had a four-on-four Steel Cage Warfare match with the stipulation being of S.C.U.M. won then Steve Corino would replace Nigel McGuinness as match maker, and if ROH won then S.C.U.M. would have to disband. ROH won, all the members of S.C.U.M. (with the exception of Rhino) were no longer booked in ROH, and the entire angle lasted about four months (unlike Aces & 8s) as for Matt Hardy, he did some of his most entertaining work in a long, long time during his run in ROH. he originally came in to commentate during an Adam Cole match, and it was off putting because throughout the match he kept saying how everyone kept referring to Cole as "a young Matt Hardy", which no one has ever said. then over the next few months his gimmick emerged where he (along with Steve Corino) was extremely delusional and self-obsessed, referring to himself as an icon and going on and on about all his twitter followers. it really was some of the most entertaining stuff in wrestling this year, highlighted by the anti-bullying video he made (see my sig) |

I love how he did this in-character but still managed to get a dig at TNA in there.

Okay, I just watched the Matt Hardy anti-bullying video. That was glorious.
He was able to say so much without actually saying anything, and the piano version of his WWE theme was a nice touch, too.

Wow. Surprised to see this much praise for his latest run.
I thought his ROH run was awful. Yes, the anti bullying video was fun but everything else was godawful. His promos were uneventful and his matches were bad (unless you like seeing him repeatedly spam the side effect)

Kayfabe reason: because S.C.U.M. lost Non-kayfabe reason: ...i don't know I wouldn't be surprised if they bring him back soon, once people forget he's supposed to be out. Also, I don't get how we were supposed to boo him when he was facing a fat bastard who clearly has no problem piledriving a 110lb woman |

Also, I don't get how we were supposed to boo him when he was facing a fat bastard who clearly has no problem piledriving a 110lb woman Funny thing too, is that he's not wrong. We are total hypocrites, I'm sure if you look back at my history there's a post in there saying I wouldn't be upset to never see Matt Hardy again, but then this year he becomes one of the best acts in wrestling. I'm kind of hoping that Corino will concoct a plan to stir shit up in ROH every now and again, not even necessarily with Matt Hardy, but other members of SCUM. I really wish they gave other members more of a voice during the feud, I don't think Cliff Compton has been able to work a promotion that allows him to be a scumbag at his absolute fullest yet. |
