OK - put it this way.
I agree to a large extent that Jeff Hardy was the most over wrestler in the WWE this year. However, don't you think it would have done MORE for his credibility and overness had he beaten the likes of John Cena, Batista, Undertaker, and Orton?
Maybe it's just me, but I still don't get a sense that the casual fan puts the likes of Hardy, Punk, Booker T, Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, etc., on the same 'level' as Triple H, John Cena, and Undertaker. I think if the WWE really wants to create new top guys in the company, then they literally have to go over the top guys.
To be the man, you've got to beat the man anyone?!?!?
Think about Wrestlemania 14 and the months leading up to it: Yes - Stone Cold Steve Austin was far and away the biggest star in the company, but how great was it for his career to go cleanly over HBK at Wrestlemania that year?
How great was it for Austin to go cleanly over Undertaker at Summerslam that year? See what I mean?
