I have quite a few friends who became fans for the superficial stuff, or for one angle that appealed to them at the time, but quickly learned and came to understand how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Now I talk to those same friends about okada's storytelling or lucha undergrounds long term booking. Topics that may as well have been a foreign language to them when they came in for whatever nonsense attracted them at the time.
It's a fair point. I just don't really think it's going to pan out that way. I think it's cutting off your nose to spite your face a bit. But feel free to disagree.

And did they actually do the "woken" glass shattering cutaway live or was that just added into the Youtube clip? Either way... What the fuck.

Bingo. The first week was whatever, because it was the first time the character had been seen and the back and forth laughing was kinda funny because it was unexpected.

Then WWE decided that it was the most important thing about the character and that nobody will believe he's crazy if he doesn't laugh all the time.

Dude's laughed more in a month than he did during his entire TNA run.

They did the cutaway live. Then went right to a Cesaro and Sheamus backstage segment which the crowd paid zero attention to because they were chanting DELETE at Hardy who was still in the ring.

Half expected Chicago to boo once they realized they weren't getting a real promo.

Wow really thought they would do something with them being in the ring but it was just more laughing. WWE really has no idea how to do the character. It's like Matt Hardy has overdosed on laughing gas.

I don't know, it had substance in TNA and told stories but its just one dimensional in WWE. Not the best thing Hardy could be doing in WWE at all.

Not that many of them are familiar with it. I'm telling ya, man -- fewer people have seen any of the TNA stuff than the WWE stuff. Matt Hardy vs. Shannon Moore from Velocity way back when would have been seen by more people. They're going along with the wave of people trying to be cool and take over with the "Delete!" thing. Most people don't have a clue what it is about. If people keep doing it, then the sheep that follow will keep doing it.

Fuck, then they do something like this where Matt has either talked them into something or they had a good idea and I'm interested again.




Preferred his TNA piano as the faster pace was better for madness, but I like this as entrance music too.

Figured they'd just make him laughing as his theme. I've liked the explanation for Sister Abigail but since then its been bad.

Matt did an interview with IGN and in it he said a Final Deletion style match is 100% in the works, the familiar characters from TNA will be brought in, and that hardcore fans need to have patience when it comes to the character because they have to get everyone else up to speed on all the quirks and nuances of the gimmick.

That last bit would be fine if they were introducing the quirks and the nuances and not just making him laugh every week.

That is company line. Chavo Guerrero was happy being a jobber; Cody Rhodes was happy doing Stardust; Matt is just introducing the nuances. I'm sure they are planning a trash match, and I'm sure it will be just as bad at the TNA ones, but better produced and hated by fans of the actual gimmick when they realize it is trash.

Is there a "Woken Matt laughing" shirt on WWE Shop yet? Feel like they'd have jumped on that by now to go with the 10-hour video.

That match will be trash, yes. The old ones will still be around for posterity thankfully. Already re-watching the whole saga again as of a couple of days ago.

Off topic but since you reminded me of it, Cody fucking nailed that Stardust gimmick. I remember watching him go to comic-con to interact with Stephen Amell in character and he was SO good.

Depends what you're after. I have no clue why they went to it in the first place. I thought it was a bit hammy. He threw himself into it and some stuff worked, other stuff was kind of...um, okay.

I remember watching WWE at a love show and me and my son being the only people in our seating area cheering for Stardust.

I'm just gonna see how the Woken Matt Hardy storyline pans out , when is Jeff due back from injury.

Goldust is one of the WWE greatest gimmicks of all time, so comparing Stardust to that is probably unfair.

I think it was pretty terrible though. He constant came out to no reaction and it just felt like Cody playing dress up.

No consistency or proper story to the character

Oh, the story and character development was shit. Nothing on WWE's part was good. But Cody played the hell out of it. And like I said, when he went to that Convention to confront Stephen Amell, it seriously made me think "Goddammit, I wish he was doing this character somewhere where character development was a thing and it wasn't just guys cutting promos while being diectionless."

Preferred his TNA piano as the faster pace was better for madness, but I like this as entrance music too.
It was fitting anyhow, seeing as it is a different part of the same song. TNA used the 3rd movement, and this is the 1st.

But that's a moot point, since he's now getting the CFO$ treatment that will hopefully be fleshed out and cleared up.


Unrelated to that, I've thought about something recently; part of what made the gimmick "good" to begin with was what it was born from. It was a heel turn on Jeff because he "selfishly got himself injured" in addition to jealousy over Jeff being a licence to print money in and of himself.

But instead of a rote heel turn, it was more akin to the Booker T vs. Harlem Heat angle in WCW, where Stevie Ray kept taking the "marketable" stuff from his brother... from not being able to have flames on his gear, to replacing his theme music with the Leave It To Beaver theme. Matt did the same thing when he "won the rights" to Jeff Hardy as a brand. That's what started the "DELETE" business, as Jeff's social media accounts and marketing presence essentially became Matt's. Jeff became "Brother Nero" or "That Obsolete Mule" because he was no longer legally allowed to be Jeff Hardy, since the Hardy name solely belonged to Matt and his heir. Matt had cracked under the weight of his own ego, and all of the extravagance was over something so petty. Made Jeff come out to no music (and then his eventual "summoning"), made him wrestle matches in his stead or compete in tag matches where he had to do most of the heavy lifting and Matt got the victory. Cool take on basic stuff.

... then it snowballed into this whole other thing involving kayfabed interviews/podcasts and "preemoneetions" and time travel and teleporting and cheap CGI and a sentient drone and losts of shots of Reby's cleavage and a boat getting more over than Jinder Mahal and an imaginary scribe who suspiciously looks like Samwell Tarley and animals who are supposedly reincarnated historical figures and King Maxel's first televised match and all the other incredible shit the Broken/Wokenverse has spawned like creeper vines.

I really hope WWE doesn't just distill this down to "DELETE!" and overexaggerated Matt laughs.

As for Stardust, Cody was definitely making the most of a shitty spot. Thing that intrigued me is not only him clearly being squandered, but this also being about the time that there was a lot of talk of Roman having all sorts of charisma and wit when he is just "allowed" to be himself at these kinds of functions instead of having scripts shoved in his face for TV. I'm not the biggest champion of Reigns, mostly *because* of WWE (sadly, that is also majorly why I dislike Baron and had a really tough time getting into Rusev). And those are the two we hear about. How many others are in the locker room being squandered because "they don't have *it*" in the eyes of Vince, Steph, or Hunter?

Someone like Jason Jordan has been trying to get pushed forever (NXT even since pre -American Alpha... he was singles, then he was partnered with Tye Dillinger, then singles again, then AA...) and every time, the announcers would spend half the match putting over his look and credentials and just wasn't getting over because there was nothing else to him. He had less character than Steamboat's kid. It took until now for something he could sink his teeth into and give him some sort of depth: a cocky kid who think's he's better than he is with big mouth and a quick temper. There's enough there to make me stop calling him Porkchop Jones because I actually remember his name. He might have had that there the whole time, but had this whole "interjecting himself into The Shield" opportunity didn't come about, he would likely still be yet another generic musclehead because creative had nothing for him.

So after weeks of build up, they just had a match on RAW? The match wasn't BAD, I just figured they would of at least saved it for the PPV

I'm sure they'll just do the match again. Logical storytelling says Bray soundly defeating Matt Hardy again fair and square doesn't leave much reason for the feud to continue but it will. Because matches don't really matter in WWE world.
