10 Wrestlers Who No Sold Huge Losses

After finally returning to the WWE stage and seemingly getting a handle on his demons, it looked as though Jeff Hardy was well on his way to becoming a serious main event player in 2007.

An Intercontinental title win would eventually pave the way for an intriguing rivalry with Triple H as the two popular faces went at it over the right to challenge for the WWE Championship at the 2008 Royal Rumble event at Armageddon.

And while 'The Game' would be forced to do the J.O.B. at this moment in time in order to give Hardy the much-needed rub in the lead-up to an eventual showdown with Randy Orton at the next PPV, Trips still had a few tricks up his sleeve to ensure he didn't come out of the closely fought battle looking inferior to his friendly adversary.

Selling the nature of arguably Hardy's most important singles win at that point in the same way you would being cheekily pranked by a younger sibling, a genuinely surprising and thrilling result was entirely undercut by The Cerbral Assassin's smug grin and shrugging of his shoulders post-roll-up-defeat.

And with it later becoming known just how against Hardy's eventual ascent to the top of the mountain Trips legitimately was behind the scenes, it's not too hard to see what his intentions likely were with these petty losing antics.
