Sorry if this is already posted but I was just watching TNA and I thought about it and thought about and came to the conclusion that Jeff Hardy's best run in TNA was with Immortal, atleast IMO. He now seems unpassionate about it. And while I'm ranting and raving one more thing I hated was the pre-tape of Jeff and him talking acting like it's his thoughts. Anyway, say what you like, agree or disagree with me!  |

I think Jeff was the most bearable on the mic as a heel and that Immortal run was probably the best character he's ever done. So I'd agree with you in that sense but that's just because he's excruciatingly bad on the mic as face imo. In terms of in the ring though, I think his best stretch has come as of late. His matches with Aries were incredible, and even prior to his title win his matches with Roode, Angle, and even Jeff Jarrett were good over the last year or so.
Jeff's gimmick has always been that he's a wallflower. So I think as a face, because he's very easy to cheer, it's best that he says as little as possible and just gets to the point. Pretty much exactly what they are doing right now with Jeff seems to be the formula for success with him if you ask me.

jeff's lack of mic skills is honestly hilarious - he sounds like an 8 year old trying to read a storybook.

Hardy has bored me since he returned. His Immortal run was great though.

Wait Jeff Hardy has had great matches with Austin Aries, Robert Roode and Kurt Angle, 3 of the best workers on their active roster? Color me shocked -_- |

This thread should be about Rob Van Dam. His entire TNA run has seemed thrown in.

I'll stand by it, he just goes through the motions and collects a paycheck. He's been doing the same gimmick since 1996. I like RVD, I've been a big fan at times, and definitely when he was in ECW, but it's pretty damn stale to me at this point. He just has a string of random matches, and has since he walked through the door. |

I didn't mean it as in match wise but as appeal, I dont appeal to him as much as I did when he was in the E and in Immortal, the whole face daredevil thing to me is getting old, and as I say this I will move to RVD. Yes I agree 100% I believe he should at LEAST turn heel to give it an unexpected turn of events. I see his future coming to a close if he keeps this gimmick up. Maybe turn into an evil millionaire! Idk! Something creative! TNA creative team get on it! |

Yup. He is more passionate, focused and driven now than ever. Add boring to that list. And a druggie. I'm assuming you don't actually watch TNA. Or Jeff for that matter. Sure your being sarcastic, but here's a serious answer. In 2011 he had the worse year of his life. How can somebody honestly say his best time was in Immortal? He had 3 STRAIGHT terrible PPV matches, followed by loosing the title then retaining it in a botch filled Ladder Match. The month after that, he lost the title then lost his career. He was drugged up, drunk - whatever you call it - That was when he was in Immortal. He was basically dead behind the eyes, yet someone thinks that was his best run? He isn't a druggie - Not now. Not after the birth of his daughter, he has been reborn! He is fitter, stronger and smarter now. A real dad, and a real man. This title run has been fun with a great Triple Threat and an even better Ladder match under his belt. Not to mention some awesome matches with Austin Aries like last weeks on Impact. And god know's how you can call somebody who sacrificed their lifes for wrestling boring. It's just easy to assume you don't watch the product. Nobody would call Jeff Hardy boring after the year we've had with him going against Roode, Aries and Christopher Daniels. |

This thread should be about Rob Van Dam. His entire TNA run has seemed thrown in. I've seen a spark or two in TNA, but nothing amazing. However, I actually think you could say this about RVD for the last decade. The guy was motivated when he was involved in the Invasion WWF storyline and was arguably the most over guy on the roster, but once the WWE clipped his wings, he never seemed the same to me. I thought he phoned in 75% of his WWE time and he's more or less been the same in TNA with only a couple of exceptions. He's the modern day Lex Luger. |
