Imagine if two of WWE's most heated tag team rivals in the "Attitude Era" joined forces as an ultra babyface faction to take on other supreme stables at the time, like D-Generation X, for example. Well, at one time, Matt Hardy pitched an idea similar to that, which he recounted on his "Extreme Life" podcast.
"It was after our ladder match [ No Mercy 1999 ], you know, I threw in the idea about making myself, Jeff, Edge, and Christian a faction together that we had this unique respect. And because of that ladder match and what we did, breaking so many barriers, doing all this new stuff, we are the version of what tomorrow's wrestlers look like. But obviously, that didn't happen. They had different plans," Hardy recalled.
