https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_ANV_KiB9Q Versus: Jeff Hardy Stipulation: Championship Ladder Match Date: 2002 Its hard to believe when looking at the product now, but this match was on Raw its definitely on a PPV level of intensity and danger. And thats partly because Jeff Hardy was involved, because Jeff has no regard for his personal safety. There were also stakes on the line the WWE Championship, no less and that pushed this match into rarified territory. Jeff Hardy credits this match with pushing his career into main event territory, particularly at the very end, when the Undertaker breaks his heel persona and raises Jeffs arm in a show of respect.
