Hardy vs Taker

[GatorBait19]

It might just be me, but I think when these two are together they are great, whether it be Friday Night or a couple of years ago when Hardy tried to win the WWE Title from Taker in the ladder match

I agree, I haven't seen the match from SD yet, but that ladder match was phenomenal. I've never been a huge Hardyz fan (not that I dislike them or anything) but that night I believed he just might win the title. Undertaker made him look like a star that night.

[GatorBait19]

Undertaker can make almost anyone look like a star, but I do like Hardy because he has really improved since coming back to the WWE, but he always tries his hardest to give the fans what they want

But Taker is a man that can make anyone look good

Was just talking about these matches... I haven't seen the Smackdown match yet but will be watching it soon. The ladder match from years back was the first time I truly believed that Jeff COULD be a main event player one day. Prior to that I always thought he'd be a popular guy but never a credible threat... but now, he's one step away from being the next Shawn Michaels.

Personally, I can't wait for CM Punk to one day turn heel and bring on his straight edge indy schtick back. Heel Punk vs Jeff Hardy will one day be the WWE's major rivalry, trust me on that one.

As many will know i've never been shy to show my dislike for Hardy and the push he is receiving, but even I have to admit that he handled the match with Taker on Friday very well, I was genuinley impressed. Also hope they continue the losing his mind angle until he becomes completely insane. There may be hope for me as a Hardy fan yet

I didn't like the match.

Are you being sarcastic? No really, are you?



Dude, you're like the biggest Jeff Hardy mark on the board, and this sure seemed like one of his best performances that didn't involve drops of greater than fifteen feet in the air. What didn't you like?

[Prophet]

As good as the match was, I thought the promo was absolutely brilliant. And the added touch of silver/gray warpaint? Beautiful. I gained a whole new respect for Hardy for that performance.

Not being sarcastic, probably just nitpicky.

Oh I love the push and the lack of 15 foot drops. The promo after, as well as the week before, was gold.

However, I think Hardy over flopped a bit in the begining of the match. It was so ridiculous, and took the 'moment' right out of the match.

However, it may have been nerves, and would love to see a rematch or even a Hardy Big Show v. Taker HHH tag match.

The war paint was pretty epic though. Maybe I'm expecting too much...

[GatorBait19]

i dont think they will turn him heel, but this is just like the storyline with HBK before he left about taking all he can, only difference is now it is HHH

That promo was insane, but I'll repeat what I said after I saw it: "When the hell did Jeff Hardy learn to cut a promo?"

[Woodsmeister]

he used to cut promos in OMEGA, and im sure he will have picked peoples brains backstage as there has been some awesome promo guys in the WWE over the years. Plus, Its taped so i guess they can edit things and he could take as many takes as needed.

I saw the match and although it was good, i thought there ladder match in 2002 told a better story, but i agree they both have shown that hardy can be a believable main eventer.

[keefmoon]

I actually checked out Smackdown for once and it was the Jeff Hardy show for me. The facepaint was wicked, the promo was outstanding and it was a good, mature performance in the ring. The difference between the Ladder Match and this was Jeff was very much the underdog in the Ladder Match and didn't have a great amount to do. I thought it kicked serious butt, but it was all about Undertaker and the match script for me. This match Jeff looked like he deserved to be there and could in fact be a bonafide main eventer.

[Marshall]

The first thing I thought when I saw Hardy's facepaint was: New Brood anyone?

They probably won't turn Hardy heel, but if Christian comes back to the 'E and aligns with a returning Edge against Taker and Trips, where does that leave Hardy?

I'd love a stable of Edge, Hardy and Christian to feud with the 'old guard' of the WWE. It just seems to me to mean serious money feuds and elevation of Hardy, Edge and Christian. I'd really dig the three of them going crazy and running over Smackdown because they've been overlooked as the true stars of the 'E for so long. Even with Hardy being really popular, they seem to be making him a tweener anyway, so why don't they just position him in the middle of a war between Triple H and Taker against Edge and Christian?

Besides, anything that could possibly have the faintest hint of luring Gangrel back onto my television screen has my seal of approval...

[Astil]

I don't think Hardy and Edge together would be good at all. Just the personal stuff.

However Christian and Hardy. Yes. If Christoan returns.
