Greatest 21st Century Wrestler - 1st Round A - Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Benoit

[Daddy Dom]

as much as I love Jeff man has declined over past 5 years

i think with Chris you cant ever pick a moment in his career that you could say is bad.

I mean you could say the last 3 days of his career were.

 

[Chris]

I think Jeff has only improved in all aspects since Victory Road 2011 tbh, that was easy rock bottom

That might not even be his rock bottom.

When Sullivan booked him to lose like 11 straight PPV feuds after Nancy left Kevin, was not a good time lol

Oh yeah that wasn't very great either lol

Am I allowed to hope it is instead of telling people in every Jeff Hardy thread that he's going to kill someone in the future when I don't know that to be true

tbf every Jeff Hardy news article usually bad news. I do get what you mean though, and I am def guilty of it.

It's insane how Jeff is more scrutized in this thread than an actual murderer. Wrestling fans are fucking weird

Something I still can’t wrap my head around

No knock on Looch but I wouldn’t of included Benoit in this tbh

 

[Chris]

I wouldn't have wanted any restrictions on who could be nominated myself, and he's winning anyway so seems a bit unfair. Crazy to me still tho bc I tried to not factor in the crimes both have been apart of even if one is way worse, and for Benoit to only have 7 years in the century, I had some debate still, but it's just Jeff for me. If Bryan Danielson was a murderer I'd vote him over Jeff.

But also, pretty much no chance I'd have voted Jeff after this round anyway so I'm not exactly cut up about him, I'm not sure if he would have made my top 50 at all

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Benoit was also an addict who actually hurt ppl but Jeff is old and wrestles bad so he's a scrub

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Personally I just think Jeff, for as popular as he was, was extremely spotty and inconsistent for most of his career. He kind of reminds me of Booker T in a way, a good worker who on a good night was as good as anyone but on a bad night was terrible.
