After some researching, it appears that both of you are right. Jeff Hardy defeated Triple H, cleanly, at both the Armageddon PPV in 2007 and at a match before Survivor Series in 2008.
HOWEVER........
Both clean victories were achieved with wimpy roll-ups. By contrast, whenever Triple H defeated Jeff Hardy, it was done more convincingly and decisively. And THAT is what I do not like.
If the WWE are genuinely interested in pushing new guys to the top, they have to...
-Allow the up-and-comers to get a non-flukey and decisive victory over the more established guy.
-Do NOT let the established guy get a 'return' victory where the ease of his victory outweighs the up-and-comer (or challenger).
For example - The WWE had Big Show defeat Undertaker cleanly (few times), but then had Undertaker defeat Big Show with more ease...and on more occassions.
Batista defeating Triple H back in 2005 is a PERFECT way to establish a guy as top-tier. THIS is what I would have liked to have seen the WWE do with Jeff Hardy. THIS is what I hope the WWE does with CM Punk.
