Imagine that moment at Armageddon at WM25 with 60,000 screaming fans cheering when he wins the title. Plus Jeff Hardy was ready at that point he had the fan support and marketability to be the WWE Champ.
My favourite also probably Jeff Hardy's WWE Championship win against Triple H & Edge at Armageddon.
I understand how you feel it would have been better at WrestleMania, and the pop would have been louder, yes. But you have to admit, that stage design, Armageddon, with those burned down buildings and seeing Hardy at the end of the show climbed to the top of the structure and posing on the top with the title is
perfect for everything he stands for. That whole, take-no-prisoners, give all you got like it's the last day on Earth style that endeared him to fans was a perfect PPV for Hardy to win at.
WWE, by the way, sucks now with boring PPV stages except for WrestleMania. It's probably one of their 'cost cutting measures' along with getting rid of most intro show pyro, but I digress.
Hardy was one of my favourites.
Other one was Christian vs Del Rio at Extreme Rules! LOVED seeing that. So much real emotion and to such a deserving guy!
One thing WWE kinda of sucks at though... think of all these matches we've all said were our favourite World Title wins ...
Mick Foley's, RVD's, Hardy's, Christian's, Bryan's ...
What do these all have in common?
Their title reigns were minimal! Christian's was like 5 days, Foley's never lasted more than 3 weeks I think. Why does WWE do this so often to our beloved Superstars? Why
CAN'T Mick Foley go on to be a 3-4 month Champion winning big PPV matches in the process? Or RVD? Hardy? Christian or Bryan? Fans would LOVE it and buy the PPVs more if their favourites were on top and they felt they would keep it because they are that good.
Anyway ... I guess it's better than never giving them the title at all.
