Jeff Hardy Names A Bump Where He Said ‘I’m Never Doing That Again’

Jeff Hardy recalls taking two bumps where the pain was immediate.

Throughout his wrestling career, Jeff was is one of the most known risk takers in the industry. Ladders and high dives make up a lot of Jeff’s greatest moments in the ring, but for Jeff, even he knows his limits.

While speaking on Outside The Ring, Jeff Hardy was asked about bumps where he immediately thought ‘that hurt’.

“I was working with Rob Van Dam and this was something I had to get cleared. I wanted to go through the table vertical instead of horizontal, the way people normally get through tables. I just wanted to do it because I’d never seen that. Somebody get through it vertical like that. It was from a 12-foot ladder. It was a pretty high ladder. It was a swanton to Rob Van Dam. Rob Van Dam moved and that table just exploded and it just- I don’t know, my breathing was off, but it knocked the wind out of me so bad… and it just, oh, my God, it hurt so bad. But, yeah, I remember, like, having to ask… Man I think I had to explain why I wanted to go through it like that, you know and I said just to be different and to see how it is. That reminds me, too, we had a TLC match and a Full Metal Mayhem match in TNA and I think that Dudley’s were- maybe just Bubba, but I went through a table that was upside down. It was on like the guardrail and the ring apron, and it was upside down. The legs were up, and I just wanted to go through it just to say I went through an upside down table. It was completely upside down. I just jumped through the framing of it. Sure enough, it was just like that thing with RVD. When I hit that floor, I was like, ‘okay, I’m never doing that again.”
