I can't remeber the last time I saw him on RAW. It really pisses me off WWE isnt using him as he was getting major over on Smackdown. Does anyone else agree with me that he should've stayed on SD? RAW has too many midcard heels so he has nowhere to go. God damn useless Lita caused him to go to RAW. Lita has ruined Matt Hardys career!
Now there saying they are gonna turn him face. The V-1 character is a natural heel. I think its time he upgraded to V-Two-AHHHH! and start making his way up to the top.

He was doing a dark match against Tommy Dreamer, if there is one thing we cant have in WWE, its talented young wreslters getting over, we cant do that!
Did he take a dump in Vince's bathroom or something? Geez, this guy is probably one of the top 5 workers on the roster, has a great gimmick and draws heat from fans ... who does he have to blow to get a spot?

I think V1 shows of his personality pretty good. As Generic as Mattitude sounds on paper..it turns out to be very fun to watch.
His Moveset isn't that bad..Come on atleast he still doesn't only do ..Punch ..legdrop...missed moonsault....twist of fate..pin/get pinned.
And the Fans easily accept him instantly as a face or heel..That's pretty good..a guy creative doesn't have to try so hard with. The creative team seems to like challenges though cause damn Test is on tv allot.

Frankly, I think a lot of it is just not really having anything for him. I mean, you have this guy show up on your show because his girlfriend's on it, which I can understand, but he's not really a good fit for the product and you've maybe already cooked up ideas for some of the other guys that you've had. They might be guys like Heidenreich, but the point is you already have an idea of what to do with them. Matt comes out of nowhere, and that's pretty much where creative has left him. You could say he wasn't exactly a main event player on Smackdown, but he was obviously a better fit over there, and he always had something to do, even if it was a feud with Zack the Novelty Act. Hopefully, someone will figure something out for him soon, but I think you need to give them more than a couple weeks to put an angle together.
Face it. The Hardys and Edge and Christian were prefect foils for each other. They were willing to flop around like crash dummies, and the heat that E&C were able to pull just screamed for The Hardys to come out and shut them up.
Now that E&C aren't there to fight, and other Hardy is gone, Matt has to try to get over with what he didn't have to do before, without a good foil. WWE has nothing for him but "Mattitude" an amorphous blob of a statement, which they hope will cling to something...so far it hasn't, and thats why he's in a dark match.
what i dont understand is that usually when a new arrival switches brands, they get pushed to the moon. Big Show went from Jeff Hardy's and Booker T's jobber on RAW to main eventer with Brock Lesnar on Smackdown.
Matt Hardy comes in, gets heat by dissing Lita and...gets pushed to the backburner based on this love thang with Y2J, Trish, Lita and Christian.
When he jobbed to Booker a couple of weeks ago in the tag match, the writing was on the wall. He's not big enough, tall enough, etc....
Although i love Booker, Matt shouldnt have jobbed to him. Matt is a rising star with talent and while fuckin Randy Orton gets pushed with no discernable talent, Matt gets de-pushed in the same way he was treated on Smackdown.
What would i do?...Hmm..There has been rumblings of Orton vs HHH feud for awhile...while not have Orton split off from Evolution and have his own youth movement faction of Matt Hardy, La Resistance (minus the corny French gimmick) and Shane Helms (who would FINALLY ditch the Hurricane gimmick).
Maybe this could elevate Orton, Matt and the others in the way DX did for Hunter and his cronies (before they began to suck)
Don't feel bad for Matt anymore, he had a good thing going at Smackdown. He was getting over as an individual and was looked as such... But he missed the stinging poontang that is Lita, or he's so P-whipped. Lita wants her boyfriend with her constantly that he's back on Raw and under her shadow again.
Do you think WWE will now go out of their way to try to push Matt Hardy after he whines about needing to change rosters so he can travel with his girlfriend... You want your girlfriend, have fun kid. Stop asking us for any more favors.

Then you can't remember the previous episode of RAW when he teamed with Mark Henry to fight Booker T and Maven.
(This was also the first episode of RAW where Matt Hardy didn't appear since jumping from Smackdown. Goldberg wasn't on, either. Are they burying him?)

Wow, sad but funny. Er, but true. Yet another reason why they should kept up the Lita-Christian love thing. Matt was doing something, he almost had a feud, and so did Christian for that matter. He was briefly refreshed. Now they're both back into obscurity, and staleness(Matt not as so much, though).
Is it strange for me to start liking wrestlers because they get no attention? Rhyno, for instance, has risen in my opinion from "pretty cool" to "can do no wrong."
And while the IWC may be harsh on RVD at times, if the WWE doesn't care for him, that raises him several rungs in my opinion.
Matt always did seem kind of one-dimensional to me. I guess I just miss him. Even if he wasn't very deep, he was cool.
Don't all professional wrestlers have "more guts than brains" when it comes right down to it?

Actually, they probably are (if recent "news" reports are true).
And getting back to the "no personality" thing - what was he doing on SD when he playing a cocky asshole? When he was bossing Shannon Moore around? When he was cutting promos about giving people "Mattitude adjustments"? Despite not being given anything to do, he was one of the most over guys on the roster. He improved enormously on the mic, and developed a completely different character from "Hardy Boyz" Matt Hardy.

Ok, NHS, that's the first I heard about Hardy jumping rosters to be with his girl. Where did you hear that?
