Where does it stand against 205 Live?

KISS ME KRIS

I saw a clip of the match, Jeff gave him a bit of offense but it was mostly A Jeff Hardy Match ft Some Schlub

But I guess they're gonna make a program out of this. Which in a sane world would mean a series of multimans featuring the two guys in an escalation of heat. But WWE does not exist like that so it'll be a series of 20 singles matches in 2 months by which point everyone will have forgotten what the point of it was.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

So Hardy ends an undefeated streak via cheating and its held up as a big win and their best case scenario is Kross squashes Jeff next time making Jeff look like a lucky failure and Kross so incompetant he got pinned by a luckbox as champion in two minutes.

Its not even 50/50 it made everyone look worse with no possible way to fix it.

Remember when they brought in NXT champion Kevin Owens and had him demolish John Cena and has, to this day, been a fixture of the upper mid-card and a main eventer? Yeah none of that, it honestly feels like WWE views NXT as their competitor not that they literally own it and its theirs. WCW-WWF Invasion all over again.

Even that was followed up by Cena beating him twice in a row which, uh, whatever, but still, point stands, even after getting rapadooed as hard as possible, KO has still been relevant for five years straight off of that win over Cena.

But well. KO is like a top 25 wrestler in the world and Kross is Kross.

The overlap between right wing chuds, Jim Cornette fans, and WWE just continues to grow exponentially. Which is great as Cornette continues to insist he is not right wing and that the chuds need to get out.

Since when was Jeff Hardy the IWCs favorite son? I've seen him as an addict who never really got the help he needed and his career went from legendary to a cautionary tale in as long as it took for his third DUI or whatever for like a solid decade now.

I don't get that vibe at all from fans, I think people are just amused that Jeff got the win over Kross, for all the reasons you mention. They put a burnout over the NXT champ and, from what I gather, many people both invested + casual don't care for Kross. No Way Jose could have beaten Kross and he'd be lauded the next day

People have rightfully criticized how WWE has used him (much like 90% of their roster) and if you're going to defend WWE no matter what you have to come up with some reason to discredit those criticisms.

I think it’s less current fans and more people who fondly remember TLC matches from the attitude era and haven’t paid much attention to the 20 years since
