To Be or Not to Be (1/1)
by shana
I sit and I wonder why! I can't believe that the WWE is trying is this angle again, they must be really desperate. After all, they know the fans hate this angle. They want the Hardy Boyz, not the Hardy Boyz trying to tear each other apart. Like I said, they must be desperate. It's okay, because my brother and I are still really close in real life. Now, I'm sitting and wondering why, again! Why spilt up the Hardy Boyz so permanently? We were fan favorites and our brand had just gotten the tag titles. And so they spilt us up. Anyone else not seeing the logic in this move? No wonder that ratings are at an all time low. I know. It's moves like this that are going to destroy this company. Well, that's just my opinion, and I'm just a simple North Carolina boy. I'm not really all that interested in what happens at the top. I don't care about the power like some do, usually with the surname McMahon. I just want to go out to the screams of our fans, the Hardy Boyz's fans, and give them something to watch, to entertain them. Sure, it might be a little dangerous but it's in my blood. I simply love what I do. And I love the people that I do this job with, and that makes it the best. It's working with people like Lita that's great. Not working with people like Bischoff, people who can't beyond their own egos. It's not the McMahons that make this business great, and it sure as hell Aeneid just the Hardys. It's everyone in the back working together that makes this company so good. Or that's what it used to be, but somewhere along the line that changed. The people with the power aren't listening to the people like me anymore, and they aren't listening to the fans either. What a sorry state of affairs this is!!! I mean being so flown on your own power that you forget about the little guys is a shitty way for this company to function. Most people would think that these problems would have started with the placement of the new GM's, Eric Bischoff and Stephanie McMahon, by Vince McMahon, but that's not truly the case. In my humble opinion it started when what was then the WWF put WCW out of business. We had such an influx of talent into out locker rooms that not even the skillfully designed angle of an inter-family McMahon feud could incorporate it all, and it really was a shame, because a lot of talented guys were buried under stars like The Rock, even the Undertaker seemed to take a backseat to the sheer volume of people, no make that wrestlers, in the back and it was just to much. The feuds that broke out were awful, and it seemed that everyone was in at least one feud. Then that angle was ended, and most of the acquired talent was sent to OVA, so that they could develop a little more. But the business still had too much talent, so they brought in Flair and had him and Vince feud over control of the company. The angle continues on so that the talent is divided into two rosters, or brands, which works in principle, but not in reality. Smackdown just got to much of what people what to see. The Vince gets his company back and appoints the two general managers that we have now. And the talent raids begin. At first it wasn't so bad, they were trying to make Raw more appealing, but then Smackdown got possession of most of the top names, again, and the Hardy boys were permanently spilt up. Oh, joy! Each week only compounds the problems in the WWE. The breakdown in communication between the levels in the power structure, and it'll get worse before they realize that more surely, and swiftly, then the nWo, they're killing this company. They're destroying it. But I can't help them realize this, because they're not listening to me. The angles that they use keep getting worse, and less coherent, and the ratings drop off even more. Now, I'm tempted to say serves them right, but it doesn't. The reasoning I'm placing behind that statement is they're all as insane as Vince pretended to be. They keep trying stuff that didn't work before and expect it to work for them now? If that's not crazy, then what is? I really respect people like Flair and Hogan, and while it's a thrill working with them, sometimes I wish it could be my brother. That I could go back to the days of ladder matches and all that. The time when the WWE had tag teams work fighting ,and sometimes losing and winning, the gold with. But the era of the tag team had ended. That doesn't mean that I don't miss it, but it means that everyone has to adapt. We had to het on with our singles careers. We've both got tons of untapped talent and the WWE knows that. So they had us start to spilt apart. We got separate entrance videos, and we wrestled singles, but the other didn't come out with the one wrestling. With Lita on the bench, Team Xtreme was as good as dead. the moment that I realized that was one of the saddest of my. I knew mentally that we needed to go our separate ways so that we both could succeed, and garner our own fame. It's just that my heart doesn't think that's a very good reason for leaving my brother and one of my best friends. I'm extreme, all right, but that doesn't make me heartless. This business doesn't just leave its mark on your body, it leaves its mark on your heart and soul. some are good marks, the friends, like Shane and Shannon, but then, we've always been friends, and some are bad marks, like this. I may be just a simple Carolina boy, but even I can see things in this business are changing. All I can do about it is sit back and hope for the best. Let me tell you, that's kinda hard to swallow. Some things are meant to be. The Hardy Boys were mean to be one of the best tag teams in the WWE, or the WWF, has ever seen. sad things were meant to be. The writers would use jealousy to spilt up two of the most dynamic tag teams, and the tag teams era was meant to end. It'll come again, these things always do. As sad as some of those things are, they were meant to happen, and they did. But it's the things that were not meant to be that are truly frightening. The communications breakdown was not suppose to happen, and look at what it did. The WCW stars weren't suppose to push us from the limelight, but they did. The fans weren't supposed to quit watching, but that too has come to be. It's those things that have the greatest influence on the people, and the world around them. It's a pity that those things are usually bad things. In this wrestler's opinion it's going to take some work to bring this company back to it's glory days. That's time and energy I'm more than willing to expend. And that's just on the hope that one day the Hardys will wrestle together again, will hold tag team gold once again. Right now, however, that is not to be. Just like we're not to be together on the same show. For now. Matt makes his home on Smackdown, and, I, Jeff Hardy, make mine on Raw. That'll all change, and we'll be together again. And the world will be just a little bit brighter on that day. What did that famous English guy, Shakespeare, say? Oh, I know now, "To be or not to be, that is the question." Well, I reckon he knew what he was talking about , now I wonder if he has an answer for my question. Is a Hardy Boyz reunion somewhere in the cards? I hope that it's one of those things that's meant to happen. After all, I miss my brother, And my friends. I'm not sure now many more marks, or scars, that my heart can take before the business that I love isn't worth it anymore. Because while the fans may chant, "We want Jeff," at Matt, Jeff just wants to escape to a place in time were he was happy, and he got to fight with Matt by his side.
