Guest Anglesault Report post Posted March 20, 2004 (edited) Shane thinking it would be a good idea for Kurt to launch him upside down, back first into those glass walls.

Forget what actually happened, who the hell knows what could have happened if those walls broke instead of shattering? Maybe Shane wouldn't have been around to kill Kanes heat then. All kidding aside, the first TLC had a few holy shit bumps, including one by Matt Hardy late in the match. OUCH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted March 20, 2004 I agree...Forward? Hell Yeah, anyone can do that...but here Matt was just banking that he was properly aligned with the tables... WWE Keeps showing the Swanton but Matt's Backwards into pile o tables was more insane...but Since Jeff was the "good" hardy and it was more "pretty"...they re-air it all the time.

I could never, ever do it forward. The "Don't look down" principle. I think I could force myself to go backwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theintensifier 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2004 LOL. He's a now retired hardcore wrestler. He is 20 something and already retired from injuries. Cage of Death IV: the ladder match is just insane, and the COD is off the charts insane. Lobo vs. Zandig COD. Lobo DVD's Zandig off the cage through a couple of tables. Zandig press slams Lobo into the ring off the top of the cage through a table with two chairs set up with a pane of glass over the chairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christians complete dump from the top of the ladder to the floor from WM X-Seven gets no respect, being over-shadowed by (which I think was also a holy shit bump) the Spear by Edge on.....Jeff Hardy from the giant ladder while Hardy is dangling from the belts. There's endless crazy shit in those matches. I remember after Summerslam was over and I was done taping it, I immediately watched that match over, unbelieving some of the shit they did. In the first one, some spots that stick out were: a freaking Bubba Bomb off the ladders which looked like it jammed Christian's spine up through his skull; someone, I think Christian getting sandwiched inside a ladder, after Bubba or Matt threw Edge off the top onto it; Matt's crazy ass backwards fall as mentioned already; the missed swanton through the table; Bubba's fall through the four tables, although if you watch, while he's climbing up the ladder he looks over at the tables to make sure he's aligned so I knew it was coming; and then with Jeff and D-Von dangling from the belt for the first time and falling. Add to that all of the crazy shit that went on in the next three, and you have a match custom made for dangerous bumps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papacita 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 There was one match (can't remember which one) where they had the ladders set up like a see-saw. Matt was on the mat next to the ladder, when someone (Bubba or Jeff one) fell on the elevated end, causing the ladder to snap up and hit Matt in the head. I dunno if that spot was planned or not, but that was fucking nasty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ced 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 While everybody's rattling off the hardcore match bumps, I'll go ahead and mention Billy Kidman's springboard Shooting Star Press to the outside. So many things that can possibly go wrong there. And might as well list a hardcore match risky bump and mention the New Jack/Vic Grimes scaffold incident that damn near killed New Jack.

Guest Markingout Report post Posted March 25, 2004 Yeah, Evans barely gets caught too. His knee smacks the ground and Angeldust runs to see if he is alright. A risky bump was the failed Ki Krusher off the ladder. If Ki would of hit that Xavier would be fucking dead. That whole match was way ahead of its time. Evans with the moonsault into a senton off the pit at the CZW Arena onto Teddy and Petey was sick too. Once again they barely caught the poor kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 Oh, I've thought of one. During the most recent RVD/Orton match, when Orton was knocked silly after getting knocked into the post. Now, if you're RVD, are you going to trust a guy who's not all there to implant you straight on your head with sick looking DDT, when you are crotched on the top rope? If you said no, you obviously have more brain cells than Rob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razazteca 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2004 I think the Shoot Star Press to the outside as done by Kidman from Wrestlemania XX is a bump that nobody should ever attepmt again. A few years ago on one of the lucha libre shows from Galavision I seen the midget Ultimo Dragoncito do the Asai Moonsault and land on his face with little to no protection from mini Pierrothcito. Poor Dragoncito was spitting up blood from his mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2004 I think that when Christian took the bump, he could have crotched himself on the top but I guess the thought of that changed his mind. The best part is, he COULDN'T crotch himself on the rope, because Matt Hardy fell too, but he hit the ropes first and dragged them down and out of Christian's flight plan. Christian always took those floor bumps, for reasons I can't recall. Oh, and being powerbombed over the top rope, through a table, to the floor. Risky enough as is, but JESUS LORD, I thought Masato Tanaka killed Mike Awesome with that. Awesome hit the table head-first just about, the thing exploded, and he folded up like an accordian on the floor, before springing back into place. Disturbing.

Vicious, vicious bump. Also add in Necro Butcher's new tendency to be thrown from standing on the top rope onto the outside onto nothing but concrete/cement/asphault.
