Michaels/ Jeff Hardy
You know, I thought this was going to happen after Michaels' last PPV bout against Orton. With that promo at that time, where Hardy said to HBK, "You of all people know what its like to be held back."
After a tag-team triumph over _____ and ______, HBK then cheap-superkicks Hardy out of no where, the crowd confused and wondering...."why?"
We've seen for sometime where HBK's promos slightly admit his growing age.....and what proceeds after that cheap-kick is that HBK was insulted that some "hack" had the gaul to compare himself to Michaels, and that fans were behind him.
While HBK, as an aging insecure egomaniac, talks of how Hardy is some upstart who can't wrestle, but only jumps and falls, and how his "Rainbow Warrior" emo-look is stupid, idiotic, and questioning of his sexuality.
"Boy, I made the ladder match. You and your goofy brother simply rode on my coattails!"
Then Hardy retorts, among other things, by replaying clips of the infamous "Male Prostitute" HBK years in the mid-1990s, including perhaps that oral sex-simulation by Michaels. Oh and some (poorly scripted) insults about Michaels' balding.
If played right, that feud would have made the point that while their wrestling work styles are different, Hardy is as much a younger HBK in that he's a bump machine like Michaels was a decade ago.
The feud would conclude with a brutal grunge affair, perhaps fittingly a ladder match*, where two men synomously linked in many minds with that gimmick, duke it out....with Hardy coming out on top.
But most of all, a symbolic "passing of the torch."
Enough of my rant for a feud that I think would sell.......what feuds do YOU want to see this year?
*=Maybe a two-man "Money in the Bank."? No one would believe HBK could win if its simply the IC strap on the line.
