Monday Night Raw: The Glorious Return of Jeff Hardy

by Michael Sedor on May 13th, 2008

Jeff Hardy (Before the Orange Hair)

The Build Up
72% of WWE fans believe Shawn Michaels‘ knee injury is real. We are not one of them. Neither was Y2J but he now admits that after their last Monday match he is convinced and wants to apologize. Shawn Michaels limps in, his knee looking at least 10x worse than last week and a good 50% worse than the week before. But (GASP) Michaels admits he’s not hurt. Is he faking again? Why won’t this segment end? We will no longer fake interest.Segment Grade: D

OH MY GOSH! The return of Jeff Hardy. He’s back! We’ve missed you so much we know it’s been difficult with your house fire and your suspension and oh my gosh we’ve just missed you so much it’s so so great to see you!

We digress. Hardy is full of regret and wants to say he is sorry to the WWE fans. We love you Jeff! His hair is a shockingly bright orange, his facial hair is unprecedented and he wants the intercontinental title. We are with you! William Regal isn’t. He wants no apologies and he wants punishment. Namely in the form of Umaga. Umaga saunters to the ring and Hardy drops kicks him with beautiful high flying malice.

We missed you Jeff! And so does the crowd who go into a boisterous and spontaneous “Let’s Go Hardy”. I’m cheering the whole way from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. And just when Umaga seems too powerful Hardy connects with a back flip from the top rope and drops the snarly Samoan. What a comeback! Segment Grade: A

After Jeff Hardy it’s hard to get excited about Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade’s victory over Cryme Tyme although the “Cryme Tyme for Detroit City Council” sign flashed by an audience member is Nominee #5 for line of the night. Robocop anyone? Murdoch then wants to serenade us with his rendition of The Gambler. His partner Cade wants none of it and KO’s him with the microphone. We’re confused and not that interested. Segment Grade: D

Part One, The Glorious Return of John Cena

    I had almost the exact same reaction Hannah. (except for the I love you part). In fact, I jumped off my couch, told my wife to be quiet, and just started cheering. It is so great to have him back. I think he will get the title soon enough. He makes RAW a lot more fun.
