Do you think The Hardy Boyz would get huge pop from the crowd returning to...

WWE under their Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero gimmick that they've been doing amazing with in TNA?

I'm sure they would. WWE needs more weird/strange/dark gimmicks going like they once had.

Yeah, it's sad how Matt has always been overshadowed by his younger brother Jeff, during his run in the WWE until now(now that he finally reinvented himself). Jeff already had his WWE title run so if Matt returns to the WWE, it'd be nice to see him win the WWE title at least once and then lose it to a fresh younger talent to put him over.

I'm sure the entire "Broken Hardy" Family would get a huge pop...

Hell the crowd would pop massive just seeing Vanguard 1 flying
around inside the arena...which would be a great way to tease
"Broken" Matt's WWE debut.

I personally loved Matt version 2.0 but it never really caught wind lol

They need more groups/gimmicks that aren't "normal". Like it is fine to have people like the Miz but with Kane and Undertaker not really in the picture as much, who does that leave? We don't have any solid freak shows!! I don't even count Bray anymore. He has fallen off. I mean they have Finn which is fine but he has been MIA since his operation.

No one...

That's because the poor booking killed him as a threat...but still...
Bray is my favorite male WWE performer.

Okay...*Shields Up* I don't count Finn as a "Freak" I mean the Demon King
look is fantastic...but...he isn't the Demon King all the time...its more like a
special outfit rather than a real "character"

Glen Jacobs played Kane as a character 24/7 (before his first unmasking)
and that's what made him so special...that and the subtle body language
and overall (but eventually ruined) mystery of his character.

One of my fondest memories of Kane was a small moment in the 2001
Royal Rumble when Drew Carey offered Kane some money. Jacobs
simply cocked his head...and for the life of me I'll always remember it.

Look...I think Finn Balor is amazing...but either be the Demon King...
or don't...just being the Demon King for big matches or Pay Per Views
doesn't work for me personally. It feels forced.

There I said it...you may now throw your rotten vegetables and garbage
at me...just no pumpkins...they hurt.

No.
They would not.

This stuff is tanking already in TNA as is. WWE's fanbase wants the regular Hardyz. Not this stuff

Broken Matt and Brother Nero worked for the time being but I don't believe those will be their gimmicks for much longer.

If they did it now they may get a small pop, but that flame would die out relatively quickly. They would get a much louder and lengthier celebration returning as the original Hardy Boyz.

I have to disagree. I think that the Demon King persona almost comes off as a multiple personality in a way. It's almost as if he can't just be it all of the time because he doesn't have control over that. I think it really plays off the freak angle a lot more than you get with the other guys.

Fair call...but I personally see it as failure to truly commit to a gimmick/character...

Now...if they developed a story line where the Demon King took over Balor
completely and he had to be "rescued" from it...now that would actually be
interesting and help me buy into the Demon King character more...rather
than it appearing to be an on/off switch.

And if they did the Demon King "possession" angle...I'd want Bayley to be the
one trying to save Finn...because she needs some character development.

That I agree with. That would be a really interesting angle.
