My tailbone hurt just watching that Leg Drop
I landed wrong on concrete and landed on my tail bone. Couldn't sit right for months. Wtf can't imagine doing that move.
Yeah that was a dumb idea by Matt
@@alexandru5369you gotta wonder why his spine is fusing to his pelvis...
@@TheyCallMeMrMaybe Yeah he said he stopped doping the top rope leg drop after that as he went numb in his legs for nearly a month. Heck his hips are done the dude can barely walk. this is why I hate high risk spots
Omg same here
Matt never got enough for credit for how picture perfect this leg drop is
Looks like a Beautiful Bobby Eaton Alabama Jam special.
@@17thNOyou mean Tennessee Jam .
@@pepeshadilayhuh? TF you talmbout?
@@Burger-urger Brian Lawler invented the Tennessee Jam leg drog....
Looks like the wrestler has no intention of continuing to wrestle, after compressing their own spine for such a stupidly UnRemarkable move that looks like a toddler sitting down.
To those who thought Matt wasn't a daredevil like his bro Jeff, this is the moment
Yeah but for Matt, this is special. For Jeff, it's a tuesday.
Matt is a wayy better technical wrestler but he cant compete with jeff😂
@@mical2great Yes he can and he's done it before
@@alekesamyou obviously didn't watch his career closely then
@robertodimas7429 yeah but you're more of a fan of Matt tho you love both him and Jeff so I'm not really going to listen to someone so biased tell me what I obviously did or didn't see.
I like how much respect Edge has for Matt, he steals Matt’s girl and still expects him to go easy on him, what a pro Matt is.
It’s just professionalism. It’s the same thing when two actors/performers hate each other but still perform amazingly on movie/show/ play.
Well, if Matt injured Edge on purpose I highly doubt he would've had a job either in WWE or another company
They’re friends now too I believe
@@dlcdnlnot necessarily. There’s several cases of wrestlers shooting in the ring because of outside grievances. Just depends on how badly he’d hurt him. And let’s not forget that Matt had been fired BEFORE this BECAUSE of this, so it’s not like Vince was dying to keep him adorbs but a shoot would’ve been the breaking point. Matt would’ve gone on to work somewhere else; the vast majority of the boys in the back would’ve understood and even respected him for taking his shots; and probably a couple years down the line, he’d have been hired back. So the wrestling game goes.
@@thatboybearyeah, wrestling companies aren't gonna blackball someone for beating the shit out of a another wrestler/friend who stole their girl
Matt was just channeling his inner Mick Foley at this point!
And Mick Foley claimed he was channeling Supa' Fly: Jimy Snucka.
@@gorkskoal9315 And Jimmy Snuka was just channeling Evel Knievel.
Age hit him hard
@@gorth1314quite the line up all insanely awesome, one less so but kudos to the craft none the less
“Those moves are generally worse on the person doing them.”
*Breaks leg*
It's crazy that with the real life beef neither seemingly went off script the whole feud. That's some restraint from two grown men
Say that again bro 💯
After that specific Leg Drop, Matt went to doing a standing elbow drop attack instead.
He still does the leg drop till this day.
@@GHanBaxonly from the middle rope now I don’t think he goes to the top anymore
@@GeeMulaa At the last TNA PPV he did it from the top turnbuckle through a table at ringside. It's a big moments thing now.
@@GeeMulaa He used to do it from the 2nd rope on the regular back to his Hardy Boyz days in 1998 and after. Way more than he ever did from the top tope
Edge saying, you have to have a lot of trust in a person - wow
Edge's last line resonates more after seeing him jump off a cage this weekend...
Difference is matt didn’t fuck up the move and injure himself for that reason
@@ezrahunter6990He didn't fuck up the move but he definitely hurt himself
The Hardys did the craziest stuff. As entertaining as it was, in the back of my mind i thought "man...is it worth it?". Because you know that hurt. Hurt a lot
Of course it was
My ass hurts looking at that... LOL
The life of a wrestler. I don't think they regret anything. They think every moment is worth it. Why do you think it's so hard for them to retire? Even as a fan. It's hard to let go. I don't watch, but I still give time to these athletes who all have done incredible things we wish we could do. So yeah, they do it for us. They are worth it!
the irony watching this clip after AEW All In
Man this was one of the greatest feuds ever. People can say Jeff is their favorite Hardy, but Jeff NEVER had the character development or rigidly quality that Matt did.
Matt's best singles feud was with Edge. Jeff's best singles feud was with CM Punk. 3/4 of them slept with Lita.
@@TheGrimmCommonerthat we know of
I watched this live and couldn't believe they did it. Of course Matt couldn't walk right after this.
All this years and I still can’t comprehend how Matt managed to do that leg drop. You literally almost fall on your pelvis with it
He stopped using the leg drop altogether after this. It’s no wonder his body’s in shambles.
Compared to Jeff Hardy? At least Matt Hardy has discipline. Matt's rocking in TNA again, doing his thing as and maintaining professionalism as usual. A class act often overshadowed by his younger brother's achievements and disasters.
@@the.ricefarmer I don’t disagree, but Matt can still barely move properly these days as well as Jeff. It’s a real shame.
@@joolsmacgrools1288 Yeah it is quite a shame, but tbf they've been in the business for a while too. They were in WWE since 1995, before "Stone Cold", "The Rock", "The N.W.O.", etc. In a business previously choked with juiced up big men, they had to make a name somehow.
@@the.ricefarmer the ironic part is they’re 6’2 and 220ish, so they dwarf much of the modern rosters.
@@the.ricefarmerThe Hardy's might have been in WWE longer than the guys you mentioned but as far as the business as a whole...... Austin & HHH have been in WCW aka the wrestling business as a whole a bit longer. Idk just feel like some context matters here 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah Matt Hardy got a hip replacement couple yrs back for doing that maneuver over the years.
That was awesome Matt is lowkey underrated
It’s crazy that they were able to trust and work with each other through all that stuff. I know I probably wouldn’t be able to do it.
Is called be a proffesional through and through
To be fair, according to Edge, Vince had them both sat down with him to discuss the match and warned them that if they weren't professional he'd have them both black balled.
Lol ironically edge broke his shin doing the same spot but on black at double or nothing
Beat me too it
After seeing what copeland did on aew and seeing this, I can't help but chuckle
CVV CLIPS, You're amazing! I hit the like button as soon as I saw it!
Hearing this and then watching Double or Nothing 2024 is very creepy. Copeland’s elbow drop looked very scary and I hope his legs, feet, and ankles are all ok
Matt and edge amazing work
Matt is a real professional, he put his personal feelings to the side
Fast Forward to Edge jumping feet first off the cage and breaking his leg 😂 I don’t understand why he didn’t do a splash instead of jumping straight down on both legs hahahah
It's like he started to go for a splash and then, at the last second as he was starting to jump, he realized that he was about to dive on barbed wire, and instinctively pulled up, causing him to land on his feet instead. That's the way it looked to me.
One of the biggest spots I've ever seen.
Matt Hardy is a legend for going through that storyline.
How he didn’t compress his spine or break a tailbone is astounding
Edge knows what he's talking about, when he says it hurts more on the person giving the move. He just broke his foot for landing on his feet, while jumping from the top of the cage.
Dominick's scared face from when Beth phoenix glamazon slammed him on that black briefcase in the background 😂 did anybody else notice that? That's hilarious 🤣
I met Matt Hardy at a ComicCon in 2021 and got the chance to thank him for everything he's put his body through because of stunts like this. He thanked me back
U gotta give it to these guys, they used to really put their bodies on the line to entertain us fans. Much love and respect. ✊
...except when you're on the receiving end of a "Crouton" bomb from jeff.
Well, this is quite the time to get recommended this. Get well soon, Edge.
This man really should interview Andrade💪🏾
Not at all dude us a none factor
@@hitmancrewgaming1510😂💯
The Matt Hardy/Edge rivalry involving Lita is my favorite rivalry of all time. I was way more tuned into this rivalry than the Cena/Angle rivalry at the time.
It was bonkers each week.
WM17 TLC match will NEVER be topped in my opinion!
I would never do that move from the top rope let alone the top of the cage. Brave man. Much respect
I hated his leg drop because it always. Looked so painful
Bro and these guys would perfom like that on a sunday ppv and then show up the very next day for RAW....incredible
Egde knows that he had to take the move because he knows what he did was wrong
Crazy watching this clip now , especially after that elbow drop bump Adam took at Double or Nothing
“We’re pros, you gotta have trust in that person.”
Stone Cold to Owen: “You’re a pro, I trust you…”
It’s weird watching this right after edge gets injured from the same spot
While I don't respect championships in WWE because they're not won through true competition but instead won based on who the writers/WWE decide, I do respect the guts of the Superstars who do moves like this, you couldn't pay me enough to climb that cage let alone doing a leg drop from that high up. Superstars truly do sacrifice their bodies for the money they earn and for the applause of the crowd.
I got nothing but respect for all of these performers and what they have sacrificed to put on a good show it is amazing😊❤❤❤
One of the important rules in wrestling that goes unsaid is that you never bring your problems to the ring. You never put the other guy in a position to be hurt, no matter your differences. Because by the end of the day, everyone is trying to make a living and when performing for the audience, it has to be professional.
That magazine cover brought back a lot of memories. I had every issue!
I'm here after Copeland did the elbow drop off the cage from Double Or Nothing. Those kinds of bumps are ALWAYS painful, get well soon Cope. ❤️
Yup. The irony of this clip coming up right after Edge tries to do something similar
Fuck Matt and egdes feud was what made me really get into wrestling as a kid, they were crazy
Just imagine Hulk being asked to do this move. “Yeah, that’s not gonna work for me brother!” 😂
When Edge says, "You gotta have a lot of faith and trust in a person." Sure, edge, you really do
Still one of my fav matches
that's how it's done... adam.
Edge broke the bro code.
And yall still supporting it
Its astounding to me that all of these guys can still walk.
Well Cope definitely can't RN
Matt Hardy gave himself the biggest atomic drop possible.
That picture of E & C and the Hardyz together is amazing
This is the main reason why I never understood wrestlers who do other wrestlers dirty. The level of trust required for them to do what they do can't be overstated. So when you screw someone over and then have to work with them, you have to trust them to not only do their job, but to resist temptation. In any given match there are dozens of opportunities to shorten or even end someone's career and play it off as an honest mistake.
"Sorry for not catching you on that dive; I missed my cue. Shame you'll never walk again."
All that pressure on his spine oof
How on earth do u perform that so perfectly that you don't get a broken back, and a broken neck
Alice In Chains is fucking amazing
This short lasted a decent lil minute after double or nothing....
That what most guys say, that the one giving the bump takes more damage than the on receiving the bump
In the slowmo u can see Matt land it perfectly, so much so that edge didn't even flinch... Matt must have taken at least 90% of the bump to the tailbone and leg
great episode as always
I love these podcasts. So very interesting
"Even with everything him and i have been through" - didn't need to be brought up again.
Edge looks like he's been living on the edge
"Those moves are usually worse on the person doing them."
This takes on new meaning given Edge's recent botch and broken leg.
I’ll say this, I was never a real big Edge fan but you can’t have anything but respect for two guys that, despite the very real personal nature behind all of it, put that aside not only for the business but to remain professional and keep each other safe
Matt said this messed up his pelvis/tailbone so badly, that for a while he was walking with a noticeable limp.
This aged well
Seeing that leg drop again makes me think about X-Pac/Sean Waltman talking about a time he stepped in when he thought the writers were misusing/abusing the Hardys with repeated high risk spots in the late 90's on a podcast.
The irony of this after your match with Maliki Black.. That elbow drop was insane.
Honestly, that entire rivalry was Bros Before Hos. They could have refused it. Matt could have walked away from the company. Edge could have said "I don't trust him not to kill me". But they went ahead and did it, even with the obvious emotional complications. And they put on a series of spectacular matches that drove both men to the pinnacle of the industry. You can't do that if the trust isn't still alive, if the performance doesn't matter. Especially not with two high fliers like that.
I can't imagine jumping from 15ft up or so & landing on my tailbone on purpose!! It's a minor miracle he didn't break his tailbone or a vertebrae
This didn't age well with Edge's recent cage dive mishap
this was a storyline where you can only say - you had to be there. literally if you didnt tune in back in the day you missed out on gold... even if it only lasted a short while.
Hulk hogan had back problems from his leg drop finisher matt did it off the top of a cage crazy
Edge's last sentence was prophetic seeing as how he just injured himself divine off of a cage.
He gotta admit he did matt dirty and deserved anything he had coming
I was lucky enough to see that show live! Edge/Hardy in the cage was by far the best match I've ever watched in person.
I also added to my dislike for Hulk Hogan during Unforgiven 05. If the best of 3 between him and Michaels had gone through, I would have got to see them wrestle, with Shawn winning. I've never liked Hogan, but I did want to see him live, something I never got to do.
Looks vicious
I was there 4th row for that!!! Unforgiven Oklahoma City!!
Watching this after 2024 Double Or Nothing 😬
Damn how bad did that feel to his spine
Thumbtack Jack said something similar to what Edge said about this kind of spots
well, now let's talk about Jeff's leg drop through Edge from on top of a ladder during WM23
I miss flashbulbs from cameras
I’m still hurt from watching that video I have yet to heal
The fact they still trusted each other to not hurt each other sez a lot about just how good they were. Especially mat. Could have done a lot of damage and simply said oppsy
What a match. Can we have one more Christian and Edge vs the Hardies😮😮😮
I started watching matt hardy in 2009 and I wondered "why are his legs so weird?" Then I watched the cage match and I thought "oh that's why" 💀
Edge sold that move perfectly 😂
WOW, Matt is now probably 3 inches shorter after compressing his spinal cord with that leg drop.
I was there live, and by god this was insane. Thanks mom❤
This aged like fine wine. My tibia hurts as he describes the fact it’s a lot worse on the one doing the move.
Same with Stone Cold doing the stunners all those years. Tailbone gotta be wrecked by now
