Garth 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2003 Recently i got thinking about Matt Hardy and how over he is with the IWC. I like many others am a mark for Mattitude, but tried to work out what about him it was exactly that got him over with us guys so much. I broke it down into it could be one of three things his improved mike skills, his gaining of new moves eg: the side effect, richochet etc or his amazing enterance. I came to think that it was his entrance, with the whole computer media player gimmick going on with it, as well as the extremely entertaining matt facts most of the iwc could connect with this and thus it got him over. This probably came off as really dumb but it was just something i'd been thinking about recently. Your thoughts please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2003 He is a good wrestler, with an awesome enterance. I like the guy, but after reading Exist 2 Inspire he comes off as a dick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2003 The way he takes credit for everything and just basically anknowledges everything as his idea and shoots down half the stuff that Jeff wanted to do. He comes across as a guy trying to make himself known as 'the captain of the team'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Miss Independant Report post Posted July 11, 2003 The way he takes credit for everything and just basically anknowledges everything as his idea and shoots down half the stuff that Jeff wanted to do. He comes across as a guy trying to make himself known as 'the captain of the team'. Not only that, but he seemed like a completely vicious bastard. For someone who was never really formally trained, he had an "old school" training philosophy where any new prospects who wanted to learn to wrestle had the shit kicked out of them for breathing the same air as him. And he isn't the only one, Hurricane came off like a dick regarding that also. Now, I dig Matt's matches, but I really wouldn't give him the time of day. Also, the way he trivialized his relationship with Lita saying that she's just like having a cool guy friend you can fuck was very malicious. He must be a god in bed, because I don't understand how she could put up with that shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted July 11, 2003 I haven't read the book yet. Was he maybe kayefabing in the book? In the Raw Magazine interview (Which wasn't in character, it was suppsed to be a look at "the man") He did the same shit. Everything ever done was his idea. He's like Nova.

Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted July 11, 2003 He must be a god in bed, because I don't understand how she could put up with that shit. You've seen the town they live in. Lita's probably just happy that he's not a blood relative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Flying Dutchman Report post Posted July 11, 2003 Also, the way he trivialized his relationship with Lita saying that she's just like having a cool guy friend you can fuck was very malicious. Not to be an ass or anything, but unless he worded it differently, it doesn't sound like a bad relationship. If I had a girlfriend, I'd want us to be good friends too.

Guest Miss Independant Report post Posted July 11, 2003 Yeah, but he made her out to be his fuck puppet. To me anyway, maybe it doesn't seem that way to another man, but as a woman, homie don't play that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted July 11, 2003 Can you blame Matt for being a little bitter and pissed off? He probably did come up with most of the "Hardy Boyz" stuff then Jeff gets all the credit and attention while Matt gets called Marty Janetty(sp?). And boo hoo, Matt says he likes to "fuck" his girlfriend. That Bastard!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Flying Dutchman Report post Posted July 11, 2003 Eh. I can't pass judgement on the relationship anyways, seeing as I don't know either of them and haven't read the book. I don't think he wants to hear about the idea of Matt and Lita in bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Flying Dutchman Report post Posted July 11, 2003 You know, all it said on the original caption was Blob and Snailfish. I don't know which one's which. They found it on a deep sea trawling mission along with a bunch of other weird things. I'd want one for a pet if I wasn't convinced it would kill me in my sleep.

LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2003 That fuckin fish is gonna give me nightmares for years. LOOK AT IT!!!!!!! It's looking right at me. Anyway, big deal he says he and Lita are cool friends with benefits. What's to say she doesnt feel the same exact way. I also agree with what was said about MAtt always playing second fiddle to Jeff earlier. For all we know he COULD have been the one to think of everything, as Jeff doesnt even seem to have a passion for wrestling. Anyway about his entrance.....awesome OOOOOOOH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!

Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted July 11, 2003 I read the book and I think he’s just expressing his resentment that he is the one with all the passion for the industry and he is the one that puts together most of the Hardy Boyz matches, yet Jeff gets all the credit and the accolades. Also with the Lita thing, Jeff did say that Matt loves her to death but is a lot like his father, in that it is difficult for him to come out and say the 3 little words…That lucky bastard!

Guest Mattdotcom Report post Posted July 11, 2003 Maybe it's just me, but something tells me Matt does have better ideas than Jeff "Imag-eye-nation" Hardy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted July 11, 2003 Yeah. Something about every report saying Matt was the real drive behind the team, and that Matt was the one that had the ideas for the team, and all that junk...something about that makes me go "good for you, Matt, for making people know it."

Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2003 (edited) He probably did come up with most of the "Hardy Boyz" stuff then Jeff gets all the credit and attention while Matt gets called Marty Janetty(sp?). LMAO Anyway, I didn't have a problem with the Hardy Boyz. Jeff is one crazy fucking bastard. With all the bumps he's taken (as well as botches), I would compare him as a young Mick Foley. I always liked the Hardy Boyz music and the paint is pretty cool. I just find a majority of female Hardy Boyz (mostly Jeff's) fans really annoying. They had the disasterous break-up attempt in late 2001. Then Matt cost Jeff winning the IC title and moved to Smackdown where he didn't accomplish much on there (except trying to beat up the Undertaker) until he got the Cruiserweight push earlier this year. This allowed Matt to come out and really showcase the talent that he has that he was talking about. I mean his match against Billy Kidman at NWO was really good. And I think by finally being able to showcase his talent, its what got the crowd to like him even as a heel. I think he's bitter that Jeff got all the attention because Matt wasn't crazy enough to those kinds of bumps...Mattitude rules however and I hope he gets the US title (along with Benoit and Guerrero of course). Benoit Vs. Hardy next SD = interesting match / potential classic Edited July 11, 2003 by Rico_Constantino Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted July 11, 2003 I doubt it'll be a classic. They'll probably get 3 minutes of actual ring time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
