Lemme start out by saying I enjoy Jeff hardy's work, not his biggest fan, but i got no hate for him either and im Sorry if this is a spoiler, but i had a legit question for everyone, hardy haters and fans. Tonight they announced that for the millionth time jeff in his career will be competing in a ladder match. Is it just me or does it seem he relies on this match for most of his big feel matches, i think all his title reigns have had atleast one ladder match.
More often than not every wrestler has that one 'specialty' match, whenever that type of match happens it's like home field advantage for them. Yeah they might lose but they have a high chance of winning because of their history.
Examples...
Abyss? Monster's Ball
Cactus Jack/Mankind? Hardcore, HIAC or any kind of match involving weapons
Undertaker? Casket Match and HIAC
The Dudley's? Tables Match
That's what they're known for, it's THEIR match type because of previous battles they've had. It's where they're most comfortable and where they are most likely to succeed. There are exceptions to this though.
This is something he is amazing at. Its his trademark match, it'd be like complaining cause Team 3D did a tables match or the Undertaker did a Hell in the Cell match.
Complain when something sucks but come on..that was an awesome announcement. Even people who are not big Hardy fans would be more interested in this than a normal Hardy match.
It's Jeff speciality match like others have explained similar to Cena/I Quit, Cactus Jack/Falls Count Anywhere, Team 3D/Tables, etc. When he made that announcement I said to myself, "I have to see this!" So it worked.
The fact it's a match type which Jeff is more comfortable with, there's been more solid build with a clearer dynamic between Aries and Hardy, not to mention Aries being consistently good-great with his PPV matches this year means this has all the tools to be better than the BFG main event, which wasn't exactly a bad match either.
Personally, I felt like the set up for Hardy/Aries last month was boring and doing a rematch didn't interest me. A Ladder match does spice it up and at least ensures it will be a different match, even if the build up isn't much beyond Paint by Numbers material.
Jeff does this once in a while and he's far beyond having to rely on that. Like others said its like a homefield advantage type match. Wrestlers have their trademark matches man. Its no biggy
I got excited when Hardy pulled that Ladder out. Reminds me of the Shawn Michaels/Razor Ramon Wrestlemania X Intercontinental Ladder Match. I will definitely watching this match. 2 Fast paced, High flyers, willing to risk it all in a ladder match...yes please
Im okay with it. Its not a surprise, but the two should be able to come up with some creative spots. Austin aries is lazy, and I think he will be able to make up for Hardys slacking efforts.
Just an interesting fact...this is the 9th Turning Point event. The world title was on the line in 5 of those other 8 PPVS and never changed hands.
For the record, Jarrett retained against Rhino (2005); Sting retained against AJ (2008); AJ retained against Joe and Daniels (2009); Hardy retained against Morgan (2010) and Roode retained against AJ last year.
How can a ladder match with Jeff be unique and something new when he has had what seems like over twenty.Yeah he is going to do some crazy spots but he does that all the time and its boring.
Because he never wrestled Aries in a ladder match.Did you see the intensity of double A in BFG? Imagine he being that agressive but with a ladder. This match isn't just about Hardy. Last time i checked it takes two to dance.
