7 Ups & 1 Down From WWE SmackDown (May 1)

Downs...

1. Where The F*ck Is Jeff Hardy?

Wow, WWE are really kicking the arse out of this Jeff Hardy return business, aren't they?

Last week, Michael Cole boldly claimed that this episode would mark "The Comeback" for Hardy, and it seemed that's when his imminent feud with Sheamus would spark. That...wasn't the case. "The Comeback" wasn't an actual comeback. Instead, it was yet another vignette.

WWE pretended that Jeff's appearance on Backstage a while back was his actual return. This was a thinly-veiled bait-and-switch kind of tease that was totally unnecessary and only served to make it look like the company can't clearly present their product or Hardy couldn't be bothered to show up.

Next time, a "Comeback" should be a proper comeback. This kind of nonsense damages the credibility of the commentators and felt really frustrating. It's like they're begging for people to side with a ticked-off Sheamus here.
