11 Biggest Underdogs In WWE History

10. Jeff Hardy

Much like the aforementioned Punk, Jeff Hardy€™s size was a major hindrance to his appeal. He didn€™t fit the mold of what Vince saw in a real Superstar, as Hardy was a skinny, tattoo-wearing boy from North Carolina who had long, multi-colored hair. Along with his brother Matt and Lita, he was part of Team Xtreme, and he had a lot of success as a tag team wrestler, including being in that infamous spot where he got speared by Edge off of a ladder at WrestleMania X-7 However, at the time it was clear that Jeff Hardy wasn€™t going to go beyond the mid-card or the tag team division. But Hardy proved everyone wrong with his never-say-die attitude. This was put to the test in a Ladder Match for the WWE Championship, in which Hardy faced the Undertaker. Throughout the match, Hardy never gave up, and even after he lost, even after taking an additional Last Ride Powerbomb, Hardy kept getting up. He truly proved to the people watching that day that he wouldn€™t be beaten so easily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_ANV_KiB9Q This in turn led to a surge in Hardy€™s popularity, which was his biggest asset. Upon returning to WWE in 2006, he received a loud ovation, and began his climb up the ladder. At Armageddon 2008, Jeff Hardy defeating Edge and Triple H to win the WWE Championship, a testament to his soaring popularity and determination. Jeff Hardy was a small, high-flying Superstar with an unorthodox wrestling style and appearance. He started off as a tag team wrestler and overcame the odds stacked up against him to win WWE€™s most desired prize, which goes to show that size isn€™t everything.
