The Honorable Hardy

By Aaron Williams

A lot of WWE fans are angry with Matt Hardy these days. They're upset that he turned on his brother Jeff, left Raw for Smackdown, and started ingraiting himself into other people's lives and matches. They think he's selfish, that he doesnt care about them anymore, and that he's made a big mistake.They couldnt be more wrong. If there's one superstar who can honestly be called unselfish its Matt Hardy. He has-and still does- put others' intrest above his own. But what about his turning on Jeff and interfering in other peoples matches? Well, if you had any brains-and I can tell from the way most of you boo poor Matt that you dont- you'd realize that he is actually helping those who you feel he is hurting. Take Jeff for example. For years, experts have been claiming that he could be a dominant singles star, but for a variety of reasons, the younger Hardy always landed back in the Tag Team Division. Matt,too, realized his brothers potential and always exhorted him to pursue his singles dreams. Unfortunatley, Jeff always fell back on his brother's expertise and care, and would ultimatley return to his side. Being the compasssionate and caring individual that he is, Matt protected Jeff and sacrificed his own career in order to to help his sibling. After awhile, he realized that Jeff was becoming to dependant on him. So, in an unprecedented act of unselfishness, he risked the fans and other superstars ire, and "turned" on Jeff. Matt knew that thousands who had cheered him before might get upset, but he had to do it. Jeff would never leave his side if he didnt. For weeks, Matt agonized over his decision. He knew the fans wouldn't be smart enough to understand his reasons, and he knew that many superstars would see him as a traitor aswell. Still, being the humanitarian that he is, Matt went through with his decision. Not surprisingly, most of you failed to comprehend thew logic behind his selfless act. Instead of honoring him with standing ovations and moving tributes, you booed and mocked him. By moving to Smackdown Matt thought he might further distance himself from Jeff, thereby allowing both of the to concentrate fully on their own careers. He hoped that by helping others win their matches, he could win back his fans in the stands and friends in the locker room. Because Matt always sees the good in people, he believed they would see it in him too. Predictably,however, you fans continue to rail against him, and the ingrates in the locker room refuse to acknowledge his helpful ways. Why is it that those who need the most helpare the last to accept it? Matt Hardy is a decent and honorable man, and every superstar has taken advantage of him. It's time for him to stop being so nice and giving, and start looking out for No.1. He needs to realize that there's not a soul in this world who truly apperciates him, and if he wants to get ahead, he's going to have to say the hell with everyone. It's not going to be easy for him considering what and exemplary brother,friend and confidant he's been. And in view of how he's bent over backwards and been there for countless superstars these past few months, one might think that he wont ever be able to put his intrest above those he cares about. Eventually,though, Matt will realize that your cheers mean nothing. He'll finally understand how shallow you are, and how quickly you turn on those who no longer satisfy your carnal lust and over-inflated egos. Someday he'll stop caring about all of you fraudulent Hardy Boyz fans who really only cared about Jeff all along. Hopefully that day will come sooner rather than later.
