10 WWE WrestleMania Matches That Sadly Get Overlooked
You NEED to check out these underrated classics!
8. Matt Hardy Vs. Jeff Hardy (WrestleMania 25)
This is what we mean by "overshadowed".
When I say "WrestleMania 25", you salivate and say, "Oooh, Shawn vs. Taker!" And you're damn right to do so,because most people would agree that that particular epic belongs in the top five WrestleMania matches ever.
And it's true, virtually everything else from 25 pales before the mighty Michaels/Taker battle for the ages - diminished Pipers and Snukas, horrible battle royals, IC title squashes, dull main events - but there is one exception.
The suddenly-wicked Matt Hardy was doing all he could to, umm... erase his brother? Eradicate his brother? Cancel his brother? Surely, there's a better word out there, one that accurately sums up the means by which Fragmented Matt went all hammer-and-tongs on his kid brother in an Extreme Rules match?
There were Attitude Era-style stunts and violence to go along with some subtle human chess on Matt's part, giving WrestleMania 25 the sort of undercard car wreck that keeps it from being merely a one-match show.
