Full quote:

When I first came back (to AEW), it was pretty exciting. I didn’t know what was going to be happening in the near future, but I think the last time I was in this extreme dimension of y’all’s podcast, I said that in WWE, I felt like I was a ghost, just walking around backstage. Honestly, man, I kind of still feel like that at AEW, just because of not being involved in something cool. I feel like there’s something so special that we (Jeff and Matt) have within us to really bring out.

Dear Jeff:

When you become unreliable, except in regards to getting drunk and driving your car multiple times, promoters aren't going to trust you with big, long term, important storylines.

Ya know...cause you're a fuck up...who has used up a lot of his chances....and continued to blow them like a hooker with $20 in her pocket!

Fuck off, sincerely,

Me.

It's heartbreaking to watch your personal goat throw it away time after time. I can only hope he really stays clean and just gives up the fucking keys.

You ain't wrong.

I love the Hardy's. I grew up with them. I remember them working the entrance door in '95. Always been a fan and I'll always pop when I hear Generic Rights Free Theme™ play and they come out.

But if 3-DUI-Hardy and the Bow Legged Wonder think the 2 of them, at almost-age-50 with the combined reliability of half a person are gonna get some titles or be in any worthwhile stories then I got some beans to sell them. Their current ceiling right now should be ROH helping out newer wrestlers with the occasional appearance for a mild pop.

They need to be the Emi Sakura of the tag titles.

And Emi doesn't, ironically.

Also upvoting for the "Bow Legged Wonder" Matt Hardy just became fun to watch again for a lil bit.

Very well said.

It's almost like having a track record of being unreliable makes it hard to use you as much more than a Jobber.

Did the guy even make it a month before fucking up?

All that trouble getting out of WWE only to immediately screw everything up probably makes your new boss not want to use you.

WWE release - April.
AEW debut - May.
Most recent arrest - June.

Was a busy 3mo for him lol.

All of it while Matt swore up and down that he was clean, too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Matt's his biggest enabler lol.

Sad but probably true, yeah.
