Top 10 underdog triumphs in WWE

6. 2005: Paul Heyman ECW One Night Stand Shoot

Though I have my own reservations about the violence portrayed in wrestling and ECW especially, this was Paul Heyman – the man and his madness – at his emotional best.

This was him thanking the crowd who made his business just like he did, who shared his vision and even though McMahon had bought ECW, this moment will forever stand as a triumph for Paul Heyman.

5. 2008 Armageddon: Jeff Hardy wins WWE title

He beat Edge and the burial man himself, Triple H, to win this piece of history.

A wonderful tag team and mid card wrestler, nobody would have thought years ago watching a young 20-something Hardy with team Xtreme that he could be WWE champion one day.

With all bumps and no glory, he was viewed as the one providing show stealing moments but never stealing the show. He did just that here.

4. 2011: Christian and that one match

Just like Jeff hardy, Christian was a tag team wrestler and wandered around the mid card his whole life until this fateful night where he climbed the top, quite literally.

With his accomplished and retired former tag team partner and best friend watching in a corner, Christian provided that one moment.
