Jeff Hardy [with Matt Hardy] vs. Sammy: No Disqualification Match on AEW Rampage Friday 16/02/2024 by AverageMansReviews
Warning/Disclaimer: there will be the usage of softer censored adult language and
disclaimer I have never been or likely to be a professional wrestler.
What the fudge was this complete shish kebab
sandwich?: I know, I know I have been around
wrestling since the 1980's so I know things like this have a chance of
happening. I am not defending this; I was just pointing it out the for someone
else came along and said it. But now I have stated the obvious; I have seen
this incident from different angles/different footage and regardless of what
footage/angle I see it in; it just really doesn't look good, I mean from time
to time you do see moves slightly off which do cause injury and then you see
incidences like this that closely resembles a train wreck I mean if you have
ever seen Brock Lesnar's infamous Shooting Star Press [yes for the younger
generation this indeed actually happened vs. Kurt Angle at WrestleMania
19/2003; Singles Match for Kurt Angle's WWE Championship; Had Angle been
counted out, disqualified, or had anyone interfered on his behalf, he would
have also lost the title/championship.] Where in short Lesnar in a nutshell
basically cuts this move short as in distance and lands squarely on his face,
it is one of those situations where because of Lesnar's physique he could take
the impact, trust me when I say once seen this incident never forgotten.
But back to present times; Hardy does
what he is supposed to do in this sequence of events, seemingly look as if he
is going to take the move and then as reversal put his knees up. But I am not
an expert here; but it seems like Guevara loses the line of the Shooting Star
Press, so there is a possibility he is going to end lower on Hardy's body,
which Guevara does, but if that wasn't enough he seems to not get enough
rotation is head is not high enough so no blame on Hardy here when he puts his
knees up; Guevara takes both knees in the face; consequently Hardy takes
Guevara's far knee viciously in the face and just to cover my back when I used
the word viciously I am saying it in the context of Guevara had no control so
there is no intention, but the consequences is Hardy got knocked out.
So obviously the first thing I want to
say is; I would like to wish Jeff Hardy a speedy recovery and now I saw a
comment on a social media platform, but I agree with it; I think it is about
time AEW invested in a Performance Center, because okay you want to offer
something different to the WWE which is fair enough. But at the same time and I
know you can't as I have already illustrated in this content you can't
completely take out the injury factor out of professional wrestling, but you
can always practice on something to drop the percentages. Don't get me wrong I
am not the biggest Jeff Hardy fan, but he is still a human being and at the age
of 46 taking a unnecessary shot to the head is something he could do without,
actually now I think about it I am not the biggest Guevara fan either. But then
again I have heard stories that certain wrestlers don't want to take advice or
anything to improve their game, so I can understand from a education
perspective this could be frustrating, because if I was a professional wrestler
I would take every opportunity to learn from veterans, minus high flying as in
my feet would stay on the ground and maybe on rare occasions before an elbow
drop or a big splash from the top turnbuckle, other than that my feet would
stay on the ground. But regardless if I like AEW or not if something is not
addressed then you know this old expression "If you don't learn from
history you are doomed to repeat it" and finally incidents like this don't
help the criticism from the online community that are not exactly friendly
towards AEW, especially when I clearly see somebody making reference to Tony
Khan saying basically his wrestling promotion is safe or something to that
effect.
