Every Cinematic Wrestling Match Ever - Ranked!

3. The Final Deletion

As I say, Vince McMahon wanted absolutely nothing to do with 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 huge amounts of money it could potentially make.

The drone attacks, the garden vandalism, the baffled referee, the fireworks, the dilapidated boat, all of it, this should have been an industry-wide laughing stock but somehow, someway, Hardy pulled it all off. The match catapulted him and his brother to heights they'd not visited since their TLC days and, within a year, they'd returned to WWE in one of the biggest WrestleMania pops of all time.
