[Doctor Doom]

Dont do this, breh

 

[2CT]

Dont do this, breh

this ain't shyt compared to tomorrow's matchup

we about to see if Johnny Gargano gets tossed out in the 1st round by the King of Sports

 

[LastManStanding]

there is no loser here, but gotta pick one? ...

 

[Novembruh]

Occasionally, for these matchups I try and think of an analogous wrestler in current generation to the people matched. Helps with objectivity.

To Jeff Hardy, I'd liken a... Darby Allin type.
With Edge, as much as this person wants to be a different notorious heel, the one most like Edge? Adam Cole.

I'd take max-level Adam Cole over max-level Darby Allin So... Edge over Jeff. Helps me be objective without putting people's pasts into it and such, because that'd have disqualified Jeff outright, simply because I believe wrestling contributed to his addiction issues and I wouldn't want to vote for someone dealing with those demons knowing taking dumbshyt bumps and destroying his body got him on those painkillers like that.

So, with the substitution thing... I feel less worried about bias causing me to pick Edge.
(If there was Christian vs. Matt I'd pick Matt, though, so... parity between these HOF tag teams)

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Damn you’re trash for this

 

[Starboy52]

Edge has classic promos & fukkery segments that made your soul burn slow, but Jeff has more classic matches/big moments to draw from.

...This is hard. Edge clearly has Jeff beat in like 2/3 categories, but damn if Jeff didn't have IT in spades, brehs. He's mediocre at best on the mic, but he makes you invested as fukk in his matches and storylines.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

Edge...easily

 

[David_TheMan]

Jeff and this shyt isn't even close.

 

[El Guapo]

Jeff Hardy. He livin’ up to that rockstar lifestyle for real while Edge be faking it. Jeff had Lita in his tag team days, but didn’t need her to get over. Edge did. Jeff just be doing him, while they giving Edge MITB briefcases, heat missile Vicki Guerrero, a tag team of henchmen whose gimmick are fans of his, and more and was never as over as Jeff (more over than Cena in 2009) Hardy. Jumping from crazy ass heights > aggressive hug.

 

[Breh the HitMang]

Edge is trash, Jeff by default

 

[Tj Bronson]

Edge

 

[The G.O.D II]

Edge. Can anyone name a good match by Hardy that doesn’t involve tables or a ladder?

 

[Peter Popoff]

I always like Jeff better in his prime. I was never sold on edge spears. He was a better talker in 02 but that's because the competition was dwindling. It was either him, Cena, Batista or Randy.

In fact, I thought Christian was better than him. He was a poor man's Jericho.

Edit: "Aggressive hugs"

Damn you stripped Edge naked and made him look like shyt
