New Picture

We need a new picture of Matt Hardy this one is bad also weve got to update the page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brothers of destruction (talk • contribs) 15:51, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

a) There are seven pictures of Matt on the page. PLease be more specific, and b) update the page with what? Nothing noteworthy has happened since he won the US Championship. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 16:50, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Two tagteam moves that matt did with jeff still need to be put on the page. 1. The Rapture ( While an opponent is at the corner of the ring Matt does a neckbreaker while jeff does a sitout powerbomb from the second rope. 2. that move they did to Morrison on the July 15 2008 episode of ECW where they lifted Morrison up and slammed him back onto the mat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.226.253.121 (talk) 00:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1) They have to be used often enough to be recognised as signature movesm and 2) you need a reliable source for any move names. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 00:43, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well on the Hardys DVD ,"Twist of Fate", that came out a while ago, Jeff called the first move up there The Rapture and they showed them doing the move while he was explaining it. And plus it's kind of hard for them to be doing tagteam moves since the WWE isn't using them as a tagteam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.226.219.180 (talk) 08:37, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

frist

should it be noted that he is frist wrestler to have hold the European Championship,Hardcore Championship ,Cruiserweight Championship ,United States Championship —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcos26 (talk • contribs) 23:47, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

no theres nothing note worthy about it58.6.83.176 (talk) 14:23, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is a Frist Wrestler? --98.26.33.108 (talk) 03:54, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe he means "first". ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 13:19, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Diving Leg Drop as a Finisher?

Shouldn't it be noted this was his finisher for some time? I'm not exactly sure which years he used it in though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.195.94.205 (talk) 15:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its noted under his signature moves Adster95 (talk) 18:46, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sports entertainer

1. He refers to his occupation as sports entertainer.
2. Vince McMahon, the owner of the company that Hardy works for, has been calling it sports entertainment since the 1980's.

Considering the above two, wouldn't it be more accurate to refer to him as a sports entertainer than pro wrestler?Philname1 (talk) 14:27, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. He is a professional wrestler. That's his job. He wrestles professionally for a living. Therefore he is a professional wrestler. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 14:33, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vince calls it sports entertainment. Shouldn't he be the ultimate authority on the subject? Isn't sports entertainment a better description for what he does?Philname1 (talk) 17:24, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, not really. I would say that professional wrestling is the best description for what he does. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 19:22, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about refering to him as a "pro wrestler/sports entertainer"? ex: Matt Hardy is an american pro wrestler/sports entertainer currently working for wwe. Wouldn't that be a better fit? Philname1 (talk) 07:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Pics

A lot of these photos are outdated, and though I always like to keep a few remnants of the past, I also believe there are far too many old ones. Also, the one in the section about his feud with MVP is just... Not his best one, shall we say? I know he still isn't in as good of shape as he once was, but he looks a Hell of a lot better than he does in that photo.

So in conclusion, there should be at least one photo of him with the United States Championship and one with the ECW Championship, the later preferably being put in the growing section of his time in ECW. 75.70.219.136 (talk) 21:38, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only way to get new pics is to go to an event and take them yourself (or hope that someone else does). Nikki311 21:52, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bummer. If I happen to go to a show anytime soon (though the WWE just came back to Colorado after FIVE YEARS, so it might not be soon) I'll add them, as long as that's okay. Plus, me mentioning this in discussion might raise the likelihood someone will add pictures, if they happen to see that people are beginning to take notice that the pictures are outdated. But that's just assuming. 75.70.219.136 (talk) 02:36, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's a good one of him with the ECW Championship on the page now. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 13:01, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did a fan really take that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.70.219.136 (talk) 06:12, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PWI 500

I checked Matt's PWI singles competitior rating for 2008, and it's forty-one. Is that not good enough to add? I think it should be noted MVP's rating from last year is on his Wikipedia profile, and it was forty-seven. 75.70.219.136 (talk) 02:39, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To keep the champ/accomplishments from being overwhemingly long, only the highest PWI 500 ranking is listed for each wrestler. That is why his #17 ranking is included. Nikki311 02:42, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. 75.70.219.136 (talk) 23:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Burchill

That link that is provided doesn't say that he's dating Katie Lea --L0W3R1D3R | TH3 L0W3D0WN 01:36, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was vandalism. Someone placed in the article in front of that cite. I have removed it accordingly. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 12:38, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Hardy denied he's dating Katie Lea in his latest blog, anyways. 75.70.219.136 (talk) 23:26, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

His Middle Name is Not Combs

Matt Hardy's initials are MMH, his middle name being listed as Moore generally speaking. 70.42.211.4 (talk) 05:22, 9 January 2009 (UTC) Charity, 01/08/2009[reply]

It was vandalism. Reverted. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 06:01, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection

I've had the article semi-protected for a month due to excessive vandalism. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 05:14, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

heel turn

although it looks certain that he has turned heel at the royal rumble. i just feel we could wait before it is more official. this mght not be relevent but wwe.com are holding a vote which says matt hardy might have had his reasons and shawn micheals attacked john cena but that does not make him a heel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.111.12 (talk) 21:22, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, so I've removed it. Beside with Matt's popularity, it's a possibility that he just becomes a tweener. Saying he's a heel now violates WP:OR and WP:CRYSTAL. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 21:25, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

About Shawn, remember that at the PPV JBL said Michaels would not have to work for him anymore if he helped JBL win the match. So it wasn't really turning heel (especially since he also superkicked JBL). TJ Spyke 21:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HBK is currently a tweener which is inbetween a face and a heel. And due to him kicking JBL and Cena proves that he is the definition of a tweener at he gets both heat and pops. Now I know that Cena get's heat and pops at every event, but that his for other reasons as he is disliked by both hardcore and pure wrestling fans which the heat has nothing to do with his character like Shawn Michaels heat and boos from the crowd do. I brought this up to disprove your point that we don't know if Matt Hardy is a heel yet, which Matt has verified on his myspace display name that he has. The whole Shawn Michaels thing is irrelevant though (just said it to disprove your point) because he will be turning face again in the upcoming weeks to feud with JBL. 69.248.229.206 (talk) 05:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

move to SmackDown Brand

ECW opens with Theodore Long in the ring. He says that Matt Hardy has requested his release from ECW and will now be on SmackDown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BryanB2227 (talk • contribs) 04:22, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(From your edit summary) Wrestlezone is not a reliable source. Another needs to be found for that info to be added to the article. Alternatively, we could wait until ECW airs. Whichever works. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 04:25, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, check out WP:PW/SG for what are reliable and unreliable sources. Wrestlezone is considered unreliable. TJ Spyke 04:33, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is also another site: www.wrestlingnewsworld.com stating that ECW GM Teddy Long would announce that Matt Hardy resigned ECW to move to Smackdown! on Jan. 27's ECW. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.53.87.65 (talk) 16:47, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Still not a reliable source. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 18:22, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=36130&p=1 fine-this ones listed as reliable. check it out. matts going to SmackDown to feud with Jeff. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.85.169 (talk) 18:59, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's not reliable. In addition, we have to wait until it airs on WWE television.--TRUCO 19:09, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
