his younger brother Captain pissy Owen

Hart

what started as petty jealousy soon

escalated into a family shattering

melodrama that lasted over a full

calendar year it started at Survivor

Series 1993 with a four-on-four Survivor

Series elimination match featuring the

entire Hart family the rivalry boiled

over during a Tag Team Championship

match at the Royal Rumble 1994 which led

to the brothers phenomenal instant

classic at WrestleMania 10 oh and then

new level of soap when Owen inserted

himself in a submission match between

Bret Hart and Bob Backlund their feud is

blown off on the March 13th 1995 episode

of Raw when the brothers come to blows

in a no holds barred match it's an

amazing few that saw both men accomplish

great things

build-up to the implosion itself but in

detailing the fallout and how it

affected the entire Hart family

especially their swamp of a dad number 9

CM Punk versus Jeff Hardy in 2008 CM

Punk won the Money in the Bank ladder

match at mania and cashed it in to win

the World Heavyweight Championship

however he didn't take part in any

really good feuds and lost a title via

forfeit off screen after being kicked in

the head

by Randall Keith WWE looked at that and

thought oh no we broke it then in 2009

they tried again

CM Punk won money in the bank for the

second year in a row and an Extreme

Rules 2009 cashed in on Jeff Hardy so

began 2009 s best feud featuring some of

Punk's greatest character work in his

WWE tenure and though it's not mentioned

nearly as much its Jeff Hardy's best as

well on the June 15th episode of Raw

there was a triple threat between Punk

Hardy and edge followed by a one-on-one

match at the bash pay-per-view the feud

deepened between the bash and Night of

Champions 2009 where the two fought

again still in standard singles

competition a feud reached its peak main

eventing SummerSlam 2009 with Punk and

Hardy in a fantastic Tables Ladders and

Chairs match that saw Jeff doing

something very silly with a big ladder

shortly thereafter the feud reached a

definitive end when Punk and Hardy

fought in a steel cage match on the

August 28 episode of SmackDown with the

stipulation being the loser must leave

WWE number 8 edging Christian versus the

Hardy Boys versus the Dudley Boyz Tables

Ladders and Chairs oh my the Attitude

Era was home to some of the greatest

teams to ever hold a tag rope the New

Age Outlaws the Acolytes the rock and

sock connection the Brothers of

Destruction but none encapsulated the

high octane high impact era more than

the Hardy Boys the Dudley Boyz and edge

and Christian their work with discount

furniture defined a generation of the

business and it all started of course

with Terri Runnels how could it not in

late 1999 the Hardee's and Edge and

Christian began a best-of-five series to

win Terry as a manager and $100,000 this

series was called the Terry Invitational

Tournament or tit do you get it this

the pieces came together when Edge and

Christian the Hardee's and the Dudley's

won officially took place at SummerSlam

2000 with the three teams again battling

for the Tag Team Championships which was

followed by the infamous

the lc2 at WrestleMania x-seven the last

furniture match which saw the

on the Hardys the Dudley's and Edge and

Christian in a four-way TLC match for

the gold number seven the Undertaker's

streak versus DX the streak of big mark

the murderer almost seems like a distant

memory right now but between manias 21

Trapp no one came closer than DX who

between them racked up four attempts at

the streak each of them crazy good start
