I think it would be interesting, by the time Batista left WWE people were sick of him and he was a heel. When Jeff left the WWE people didn't want him to leave. I think he wolud get a more positive reaction but eventually the smart fat, bearded and pretentious fans will no longer be as interested in him.

I would welcome Hardy back. His presence would offer fresh new scenarios and give the seemingly stymied creative department some more options.

Jeff would return to a massive pop. Guy was as over as any star of the last decade.
He is a guy I hope to see return at some point but I don't think he'll ever go back to the road schedule.

I think Hardy would be over with the crowd and probably be in some bigger storylines. There's is some serious lack of depth in the title scene right now. Aside from Cena, Orton, and Kane you have three guys who aren't ready to hold the title in Reigns, Rollins, and Ambrose.

Honestly I'd want him back just so we can get a few figs. Angle and the Dudleys too.

i want to know how he lost your respect? This isn't a CM Punk thread and I'm really not after an argument, if you disagree with me that's fine but let's just have our own opinions on this one. Just thought I'd say that before I explained how he lost a fan in greenjack1992. Simple as this really. His whole career he's winged about how he deserves more, and for a time that was completely true and he really was sticking up for the fans who wanted more from the WWE franchise. Sadly, even at the time, it was painstakingly obvious that it was all about his gain and getting what he wanted from the product, despite using the fans as a vehicle to make sure that when he'd finished chopping away at the big tree of WWE orthodoxy there it would be heard as it fell. I loved this anyway because, whether it was this selfish wanker getting what he wanted from his job (and fair play to him for following it through)or not, I was getting to watch the best WWE television there had been for years. Fast forward to 2014. He's been a record breaking champion at the top of the company, went straight from that into WrestleMania with The Undertaker (at the time, arguably more important than the main event)and from that into a programme with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar at the second biggest PPV of the year (SummerSlam), he loses to the man who would go on to break the streak and could be seen, retrospectively, as one of the key stepping stones towards that accolade only to find himself having to hang around in the mid-card for a while until creative had something for him (everyone goes through it, even Cena, even Orton, Sheamus, The Shield, Austin went through it in spring 2002, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart all the top stars in our business went through it at some point, it's just what happens). His response to having someone returning to win the Rumble? He leaves the company. Now, when we say "leaves the company", it's not as though he came out the following night and said "Guys, I've lost my smile" (TELL ME A LIE!) or even tweeted, blogged or whatever, he didn't post a video on youtube, he didn't speak to any papers and he hasn't said anything about it in his numerous television appearances following his walk-out. Like when you're children and you fall out with your mate but they make sure they stay around you and pretend you aren't there just to get under your skin. Now, most people reading this will think I'm just butthurt because he left without saying goodbye to me, but it's not about that. The way he's gone about it has just left me really unimpressed. I would never do business the way he is doing it now, he's just being bitchy by deliberately bating people's interest to the point that when the fans stopped chanting his name he got married to AJ Lee to rekindle interest and so that people would think of him whenever she comes to the ring (as we saw in her return). To summarise, I'm not taking it personally, I just don't like the way he's going about it, I think it's unprofessional, childish and very narcissistic. I feel the same way about his little rants about fans "shoving stuff under his nose to sign at the airport". It's the same as those douchebags who are doing really well and all the do is complain that they're busy, but they actually love how busy they are and just want to talk about it to rub your face in it. "Oh I have too many fans, you have no idea what a burden this level of popularity is!". Get over it and honour your fans love for you, it's not going to be there forever. Again, I'm not interested in a debate, I'm not interested in a flame war, I'm not interested in any responses, I've been asked a question and I've answered it. If I get a notification saying someone quoted me in this thread I'm not going to click on it. Thanks. Man, I know you said you don't take it personally but jeez you act like the man owes you something because you cheered for him on your couch. Back on topic though. I believe Jeff will somehow make his way back into WWE in the future and I think it would feel like he never left.

i've never really forgiven him for victory road 2011 in terms of viewing his as a professional, and haven't really cared about anything he's done since.

i've never really forgiven him for victory road 2011 in terms of viewing his as a professional, and haven't really cared about anything he's done since. I agree with this. It's one thing to harm yourself with your demons. It's another entirely to completely disrespect your peers, your place of work, and every single fan that ever supported anything you've done. I could never take anything Jeff Hardy does as a professional seriously again. It's fine if people still like the guy and want to see him back, I simply do not. I don't want him back in WWE, I don't want to watch him in TNA, I have zero interest in anything he's done or will do since that moment. I don't doubt that WWE will eventually risk using him again, because they like money, and he can make it. When they do, I'm sure it will be as a part-timer.
