Best of Three Falls

From what I’ve seen, I’m not a fan of the hit-and-run story that’s unfolding with Jeff Hardy, which is probably related to “Jeff found collapsed in a hotel stairwell” story from late 2008. Here’s why:

• Wrestling angles that involve real crimes always break the bounds of realism, as wrestlers rarely get arrested, and if they do the wheels of justice don’t behave at all realistically.
• Revenge in a wrestling ring doesn’t make sense when someone tried to kill you.
• The angle unnecessarily introduced Jeff Hardy’s girlfriend, which may hurt his stature with female fans.
• If this storyline introduces Christian as the culprit, trying to assist Edge, it puts Christian right back into playing second-fiddle to his “older brother.”
