10 Times Vince McMahon Had To Swallow His Pride

8. The Ultimate Deletion

Vince McMahon hated everything about The Final Deletion. In Matt Hardy, he saw little more than a very average worker who'd fallen down the industry into much smaller promotions and was now putting out some career's-worst work in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. Worst still, he had three things Vince would have no idea how to use: a drone, a lawnmower, and Jeff Hardy.

However, the match became, rightly, the biggest thing in professional wrestling. It was an overnight viral sensation, endlessly-quotable, and made Hardy the hottest property on the independent scene for the better part of an entire year. Vince wanted nothing to do with any of it... except the baffling amounts of money it was going to make.

Throwing his hands up and accepting that he just didn't 'Get It', Vince rehired the Hardy Boyz and begrudgingly allowed the elder to sculpt his own version for an episode of Monday Night Raw in early 2018 - but not without instructing Michael Cole to say "What you're about to see is obnoxious" right before it aired.
