10 Times WWE Revived AWFUL Storylines

9. Jeff Hardy Vs Matt Hardy

The Fiend On Fire

Right so on paper this should have been pure fire. One of the greatest tag teams ever, two of the most sensational performers of all time, and a real life sibling rivalry to boot. Surely Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy should have blown the roof off of every arena that was lucky enough to witness them go at it. Sadly that never quite materialized.

Somehow their feuds never reached the heights everyone thought they would. They butted heads in 2001 which led to an uninspiring encounter at Vengeance. The storyline also centered around Lita and her torn loyalty. Once the dust had settled, it served as a clear sign that a feud between the two is probably not the best idea.

Still WWE gave this another go in 2009 when Matt Hardy was revealed to be the one trying to KILL Jeff. This time the story was far too close to Jeff’s real life struggles for anyone to enjoy. Their match at WrestleMania 25 was pretty good. But still, just like before, it was nowhere near what fans would have hoped for.
