| O&A Board Veteran Registered: May. 00  | According to amydumas.net, Lita's official website as posted by 411wrestling.com... {quote]"Hardys & Lita have been taken off TV, which was the reason for their total burial by Undertaker on the various shows this past week. There have been problems with Jeff of late, which came to a head when he missed San Jose on 12/8 (which explains Matt having to work total babyface against Test right after his his heel turn). He's also been late for a few shows, his performance hasn't been at nearly the level it used to be (that was bound to happen given all the crazy bumps from high heights he's taken over the years--those do shorten careers and it's unavoidable). Then the Matt vs. Jeff match at the PPV was a flop in the eyes of most, and after the Raw handicap match, Vince decided to kill the feud and Vince sat down with all three to explain the situation. Vince explained he was taking them off TV to give them a chance to breathe." (Amy says Vince told them he was giving them a break, but she knows it's a punishment). "The plan is for them to be working house shows but not doing TV for a while, with no timetable set for their return. There is also the feeling as we've talked about several times, that there is a certain shelf life to acts. The Hardys act has been on the downside for the brothers ever since HHH ruined Jeff's upward mobility in how he treated him in that feud early in the year, and Lita, who still gets big pops, lost her edge big-time after the manipulation from Chyna. This is precisely the reason why pro wrestling historically has had territories, and why the lack of territories has in the long-run hurt everyone. Nobody has any idea what to do with them, because they got stale as a tag team, it was time for them to go to another territory (and they are hardly the only ones that fit that label) and there is nowhere for them to go. They did a great job building the turn, but the bottom line was, fans didn't want to see them fight each other. I don't know about the idea of spending so much time building Matt's turn, and then pulling the plug on it in two days. It probably wasn't going to succeed, and it isn't like some people there didn't know that going in so the decision to do it can be questioned. But if you are going to spend so much time doing it, at least let them go a few weeks and build to a climactic reconciliation (we've seen so many great ones in the past that do invigorate tired acts) as opposed to just plug pulling." So the WWF will bring them back onto television in a approx six weeks, according to Amy, and hopefully they'll be given us a fresh new storyline to kick things off again." The shelf life thing is interesting. When the whole Edge and Christian team lost their "shelf life" they reinvented themselves as singles competitors, its a shame that so far,Matt and Jeff haven't been able to do the same. Jeff has all the talent in the world and matt's ok too> the fact that they have abso-fucking-lutely no personality whatsoever is what I think is keeping them down. I could be wrong though  I guess one person can make a difference but most of the time they probably shouldn't. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jul. 01 | quote: Why, beacuse he refuses to kill himself in every match like Jeff does? Matt's actually a better overall wrestler than his walking spotfest of a little brother, but of course gets less recognition due to his lack of risktaking. Of course, it's also this lack of risktaking that guarantees he'll be in the business a hell of a lot longer than Jeff will; at this point Jeff'll be lucky if he stays active in the ring past his 27th birthday.  Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | I don't know if that was smart by McMahon or not. The Hardy Boyz put on good matches but I didn't like the whole feud anyway. They should have kept Lita on TV so I could just look at her ;) Hopefully they do get a fresh new start. There'll be a big gap in the Tag Division though, and that could only mean one thing: More of Palumbo and Gunn :(:(:( | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: Actually, when the vampire gimmick went stale they went to an "outsiders" type gimmick where they came in through the crowd and stuff. When that got stale, they turned in the Wayne and Garth angle. Now that its got stale, they're badass singles guys. Now those guys have been able to reinvent themselves pretty easily when they've gotten stale, the Hardy's have done nothing, which sucks because there's plenty of juice left with the "which one will Lita go with" storyline. They probably just developed a huge ego and Vince wants to give them a reality check.  | ||||

Cactus' version of the gun is way better. Matt sucks too though, giving them some time to think, especially Jeff, is a smart move by McMahon, but ratings could go down. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | fuck shit damn fuck fuck fuck fuck. *cough* excuse me. call me a typical teenage girl but, yes, Jeff Hardy is my favourite wrestler. fuck fuck fuck vince mcmahon. i wonder if he knows that the Hardyz have HUGE numbers of fans here in the UK- they're definitly the most popular present tag team- maybe the most popular of all time over here. ggggr. i'm pissed off. my website "WELL, IT'S ONE LOUDER, ISN'T IT? IT'S NOT TEN" (the artist formerly known as edge) **Official Good Will Embassador from England** | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Aug. 01 | Speaking as someone who lives in the UK and isn't a teenage girl, let me just say thats not true. The most popular tag team ever over here is, obviously, the former British Bulldogs. "You ask your momma if Shawn is gay" | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jul. 01 | quote: If not the best tag team of all time, The Bulldogs are definitely at least in the top 5. Although it's pretty sad how they ended up (Davey Boy a roided-out freak at odds with his former in-laws, and Dynamite confined to a wheelchair), these guys put on some of the best tag team contests you will ever see. Their feud with the Hart Foundation is absolutely classic. Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change. | ||||

Mind you Lance Storm said that book was a pile of crap...anyway sorry to get off topic. "You ask your momma if Shawn is gay" | ||||
