what's the current stance on jeff hardy's run from that time period? I think it was okay having him not have long title reigns cause from an actual character perspective he wouldn't be good with carrying the company. the reason chang cena worked because he had both the merchandising and character work

When he won the WWE title (pic you posted) he was extremely over. But they completely fumbled it and he lost it not even a month over then transitioned into that terrible feud with Matt over a dead dog or whatever. When he won the WHC and feuded with Punk it just wasn't the same anymore. That WM25 vs. Matt killed him.
But watch this entrance for an idea of how dimes he was for a short period of time

somebody posted this webm yesterday and i cant unsee it. what would be a good way to simulate the flashing of lights one sees during entrances? you could always having flashing lights as part of the stagework but that seems flimsy. maybe hand out disposable cameras before the show?

Imagine if you had Big Match John as the traditional top baby face, and Jeff as the alternative top baby face. Then you can have Randy being the traditional top heel, and Phil as the alternative top heel. You’re covering pretty much all bases with them as the big 4. Could’ve been dimes.

Triple H did all he could to make sure Jeff's path to the title was as stretched out as possible for some reason, so when he finally did win it it felt long overdue

They waited too long and nobody cared. We could have had Edge vs Cena for one title and Punk vs Hardy for another title instead that anti draw had to insert himself in the main event and tank the company

Semi-agree but that feud could've main evented a WM. Some fantasy booking but post-pipebomb face Punk vs Hardy also would've been kino.

Maybe, it's hard to judge because HHH never had to go up against any serious politickers. By the time HBK was back he was actively trying to not be the champ. Meanwhile Hogan had to contend with Nash and Jarrett.
