I mean, Jeff Hardy...the man who cheated death numerous times...the human highlight reel...the charasmatic enigma...the ayatola of....oh wait, wrong guy....won the World title?! What now? There are plenty of questions to be answered by putting on the World title. What will happen with this "Who done it" thing? Who will be the next to be tagged with the motto "The guy that never won 'IT'"? What will happen if he gets caught?
Let me just start off with the last of the three questions. I really hope it doesn't have to go there. Jeff Hardy is, probably, the most entertaining guy out there because, outside of guys like CM Punk and Evan "Matt Sydal" Bourne, Jeff Hardy was the closest thing the mainstream WWE die hards had to getting a deathdefying high flying son-a-mah-gun. Honestly, I say that going back to the olden Hardy Boyz faze where all they did were lucha libre stuff all the twistey and turney stuff and saying to myself "Whoa, those guys are the only ones that I can recall that can fly up in the air like that...it almost looks like slow motion." But if Jeff Hardy while/while not being World champion gets caught doing something illegal, yet again, a riot will erupt. I will say that again. A RIOT WILL ERUPT! If Hardy gets fired (God I hope not) Hardy supporters will rise up and burn down WWE headquarters until they bring Jeff back. If Hardy gets suspended or if it gets thrown under the carpet (like, I think may happen if it happens) and it gets out that he did fail a drug test...the same thing will happen, only with the people who are against drugs, steroids, and alcohol, and whatnot.
Either way, Jeff Hardy winning this belt and something MASSIVE happening...like that failed drug test...will be a travesty for Vince, Shane, Linda, Stephanie, or whoever the hell is running the WWE now. But I hope and pray that the Jeff Hardy stays clean during this title run.
Now, instead of going in order (orders are for pussies and five year olds) I would like to strike the first question I have up there. What happens now that the "Who done it?" thing kinda did not work out for the guy who did it, as Jeff wound up winning it the next month anyways? There were four choices, four possible candidates that WWE Smackdown produced on a poll question to ask the audience "Who Done It?" It was down between Vladimir "I LOVE DOUBLE DOUBLE E!" Koslov, Triple H, Edge, or "Other" (which I will get to last).
First, lets talk about Vlad...they are turning him out to be Ivan Drago from Rocky IV. He is an "unbeatable force" that will do anything to get an edge in the DOUBLE DOUBLE E! So, what better way then to take out the "Weak link" between him and the DOUBLE DOUBLE E title? Make it a one-on-one match (like it was for most of the match)? So, yeah...that's a good candidate.
Next, Triple H. Same thing with Vladey. HHH is known for taking out people that stand in his way (Randy Orton, HBK, Ric Flair, Stephanie....ok, not her). He is known for playing mind games, and you know what they say about games "It's fun until someone gets hurt, then it's hilarious!"? Well, I tweaked it to what HHH is "It's fun until someone gets hurt, then it's even!" Yeah, I know it would have made sense if HHH pushed Koslov down the steps...but natural terms of death do not kill Vlad...he loves the Double Double E that much. So what better way then to take out the guy that's made out of flesh and bone? So...again, a viable candidate.
Edge needs no introduction, he's just that damn good. But I was not expecting Jeff Hardy to be the one that was introduced when Vickie Guerrero wheeled out on her chair and just belted "HE'S HERE!" by the time I saw that, I knew she wasn't all that giddy about Jeff Hardy....EDGE CAME BACK! W00t! But that's another story for another time. But Edge, kinda, has the most story lines to back up a possible attack on Jeff Hardy. If you remember, it was the Hardy Boys, Edge and Christian (PLEASE CHRISTIAN COME BACK!), and the Dudleys that created a new form of match....Tables....Ladders....and Chairs and brought the roof off everywhere where they showed off that match. If you remember, it was Jeffery Nero Hardy who stood 20 feet in the air on a ladder...and fell AGAIN 20 FRIGGIN FEET OFF THAT LADDER and crashing on to Edge in the Money in the Bank match two years ago. So, you see...that's a MAJOR candidate for the one who took Jeff Hardy out of the fold last month.
All three men are viable candidates for being the one to push good ol' Jeffery off of the steps and all of that. But the "Other" category got me and it got me because of what Edge said on last week's Smackdown episode. What about Matt Hardy? I mean, yes...he's the ECW champion...he has, apparently, slapped a tornado...and beat Mark Henry and his evil sleeveless mideon. But yet, I am sure that everywhere he goes he gets asked about Jeff. Everywhere he goes, he probably hears how good Jeff is and blah, blah, blah. Matt IS the forgotten Hardy boy. I remember back to the Attitude Era Hardy Boyz...many of people, me included, were "Ok, that's Jeff...who's that guy?!" and maybe they can pull it off as some sort of revenge factor for always "holding the man down!"
I must say, though, is Matt ready for that push? Meh. But I know who is, if it isn't him. What about Christian? I mean, what about bringing him back and put him in a storyline that will, basically, put two athletic superstars in the main event at a big show (Royal Rumble material)? Why have the same three or four pool of guys jump in vowing for the shot at the title (look at RAW)? If Christian is the one who did this, it would be a big deal. I mean, you gave Christian a push and you sparked the E+T+C/Hardyz feud back up and it will cause a whole chain of awesomeness to commence.
Hell, you know what? Just say it's Rikishi. It worked last time.
Finally, let me get to the man who "HAS NEVER DONE IT!" in the WWE RAW/SD/ECW. Looking over the roster, there isn't that old timer who never has done it. So...I got to dig deep on this. How about giving Finlay a push? I mean, the man IS a solid wrestler. He has been in this business longer then Jeff Hardy and the only title that he has ever won, that's still active, is the United States championship. Fit has been around, ladies and gentlemen. He went to WCW wrestled there for a loong long time, and WWE...but never won THAT one. So, why not have him pull a major upset over Matt Hardy to win the title or something? That's just my opinion.
Either way, the WWE has a lot on their plate with Jeff as your new champion. Overall, I think this is a good idea BUT one idea that can go horribly wrong by some lifestyle choices that our champion is going to make. It will be interesting, just like the Skeletor facepaint he always applies. Either way...Jeffery Nero Hardy, congrats on finally winning it...and I think J.R. can finally sleep better knowing that he doesn't have to constantly say "JEFF HARDY HAS NEVER WON IT!" Blah, blah, blah...Elephant in the Ring.
Join us next week where I will have an exclusive interview with Katie Vick to talk about Kane's new "endevours" with Ms. Kelly Kelly.....Kelly.
