That can explain why Jeff looked off at DON

That match was 19 minutes long. Nineteen. It was the third-longest match on the show to put that in perspective. Broken foot or not, the Hardyz are f***ed these days. No need for them to go 19 minutes.
If they did a 10-12 minute sprint, I think they would have been better. It turned out OK on Sunday, but the Bucks did all of the work and the kick-outs got self indulgent and comical at some points.

That makes more sense in regards to Jeff and his boot. Foot's probably swollen to shit. God damn

If Jeff legit has a broken foot, take some damn time off to get that shit healed. It’s not like he (or Matt) is gonna be any less over in a few months time.

Yeah, time to put Jeff on the shelf outside of big TV and ppvs, tbh. Just not worth it to use him in any other capacity.

If this is true the match was irresponsible and should’ve never went on. It would’ve been quite easy to write the Hardy’s out give them time to heal and have the match in the fall.

I just think they've reached the end of being week in-week out guys. Like you said, time to start doing an Undertaker in his last few years in WWE schedule. Doesn't matter how long they take off at any given time, there's always going to be a huge pop whenever they show back up.

They could do it tomorrow by having KOR injuring Matt like he did it with Sting....

Ok? So that makes having someone with a “broken foot” (per reports above) wrestle and hobble around for around 20 minutes to entertain people alright? Wouldn’t it make more sense to write them off when injured and wait till they’re healed to have that match and probably have a much better one at that?

The Bucks wound up pulling a good match out of them but yeah that shit was rough. Jeff looked done towards the end of his WWE run and he may look even worse now. Crazy that they won the match.

The crazy thing to me is that as broken down and useless and hobbled as Jeff is he's still way more competent than Matt is these days. I see it as the other way around completely. Matt doesn't do much in his matches, but that actually helps. Jeff looks like (to me anyway) he's trying to do the stuff he used to do and he just can't. But maybe I'm biased because the only thing I've ever liked from the Hardys is the "broken" stuff Yeah, for better or worse, Matt has figured out a way to work within his physical limitations. Jeff is constantly fighting against his trying to be the Jeff Hardy of old, and it's downright depressing.

And Matt had the skills to easily transition to a manager/part time wrestler phase like he was just previously doing Jeff has not shown those skills or willingness to try. Jeff needs an overhaul as far as doing something that can sustain him outside the ring and not just be daredevil Jeff Hardy. Willow is Jeff but more crazy and don’t see TK green lighting that and you can sort of do anti christ of wrestling again but idk how you can translate that to someone else

I actually think Jeff as a special attraction wrestling twice a year would be a bigger deal than be is now.
But, he'a got bills to pay. It's easier to take up the Taker schedule if you're making Taker money.

Jeff doing an insane dive through or on something every like 2-3 weeks it feels like needs to stop. Seriously it is beyond too much.

It's easier to take up the Taker schedule if you're making Taker money. He would be, but I also wonder if Jeff stopping completely would cause his body to totally fall apart as we saw with Kurt Angle. He looks done as it is.
