10 Best Matt Hardy Matches
7. W/ Jeff Hardy Vs. Edge & Christian (WWE No Mercy 1999)
Matches between two of the most iconic teams in industry history became the byword for the division's peak almost as they were happening during the 2000/01 peak for the league, but the foundations for those exhausting epics were laid months earlier in a payoff to a punchline.
The "Terri Invitational Tournament" (T.I.T, lol) offered cash and the services of Terri Runnels to either The Hardy Boyz or Edge & Christian as the midcard pairings battled it out in a best-of-five series.
In a very 1999 WWE move, the televised final went to a non-finish, affording all four the chance to steal a lacklustre October pay-per-view in a Ladder Match to decide the lot.
Engineered to exhilarate, the bumps were unlike anything even Shawn Michaels at his most insane had ever attempted up to that point. Still a rarity compared to roll-outs it received in modern day WWE, the gimmick hadn't been exhausted until this match advertised that it had to be. Even Chris Jericho - then a lost soul sat in the stands having only debuted two months earlier - marvelled at the starmaking sizzle on display. Watched nearly two decades on from it's inception, the match loses no drama - a feat credited to the particular matchmaking expertise of Matt and Edge.
