AxB Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I think it's his 20th anniversary of his WWE debut... as a non-jobber. Because Jeff & Matt were losing squashes as far back as, what, '94? And he was like 12 when he started on the trampoline IIRC. But 20 years of Hardy Boyz might measure up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 This is super belated but Angle got a great match out of Matt Morgan. That takes some skill. He also had a good cage match with Ken Kennedy/Anderson. Those are some wicked carry jobs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched a shoot with someone, probably Kevin Nash, where he talks about the Hardys working White Plains NY with fake IDs. They were all over those early Raw episodes.

MORELOCK Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I haven't watched SmackDown yet so I didn't see what that ended up being about, but the non-jobber debut doesn't quite line up either. After working mostly indy dates that year (Jeff worked one squash against Mark Henry in May 98, Matt not at all), The Hardys started picking up wins in WWE as early as September 98 against the likes of Too Much, early Kaientai, and the Oddities.

RIPPA Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 So I got an email from the WWE trying to get me to get tickets for the RAW House Show on campus in March (ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA~!) The match advertised is Rollins/Ambrose in a lumberjack match for the IC title. That is when I realized "Oh good Lord - this feud is going through Mania" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lyric about how he was the only American TC winner bugs me. Not only is it untrue, he wasn't even the first! EDIT - I feel like this post is really embracing the nerdery that I allow my life to be about. I am now the guy that feels like he should correct some hardcore band about their research of the TC lineage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedbynumbers Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Raw has done some sort of unexplained turn for the past 4 or so weeks. Elias, Lashley, Braun just to name a few. Then out of nowhere you have Dolph suddenly leave Drew and you get Lashley and Drew. Then you have SD turning Bryan, Charlotte, Becky, and Carmella just to name a few. Is WWE in a "lets toss shit at the wall and see if it sticks" mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 They did unexpectedly lose their #1 face (in Vince's eyes), so I can see cutting them a little slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
