So, are we going to 2000? Is essentially the pay-per-view where we celebrate the Hardy Boyz?

I mean, their influence on the world of professional wrestling cannot be overstated, and here,

Matt Hardy was the ECW champion, and if you can believe it, Jeff Hardy was about to become

the WWE Champion. And this junk chat as it has presented itself, I will also say that

Matt Hardy should have had a run with that championship at one point, but that is a different

video for a different time. And it also tied in to their 19th anniversary with the promotion.

Now, don't you gum up in my house and start going, Simon, they debuted with WWE in 1998.

So it's the 20th anniversary, you can't have an anniversary on the day you start somewhere,

Ibso facto, it's 19. Sorry about that, just a peep of mine, and it's not like this was

a complete out of nowhere thing either. Time and time again, WWE had decided we are going

to coronate Jeff Hardy, and then very sadly, personal problems and personal struggles got

in the way. But two weeks before Armageddon, Vincent

Mann sat down, he scratched his head, the eight-a-snake rapidly told everyone to stop sneezing,

and he decided that now was the time to do it. And the best thing I read about this is

apparently the creative team were all absolutely stunned, wrestling.

He's even reports this definitely meant man, mentioned this to her father, because she

was all like, do you not remember what happened with Rob Van Dam, we made him the WWE Champion,

and then he went into a bad thing, and we're all worried that Jeff Hardy may do the same.

So Vincent turned to his daughter and said, well, pal, listen to me, if that does happen,

we'll fire him and what a message that will send to the rest of the locker room, but

if it doesn't, in the short term, we'll know that Jeff is good, and we can plan to give

it to him again.
