Damn impressive, but...
You know, like most wrestling, looks like it would hurt him more than his opponent.

My stomach sunk for a second seeing that live. Like many, I expected a simple jump-fall on Orton, but damn that spot just took me by surprise. Its nice when one can still yell "Holy Shit!" after a spot.

Back in 1981, Jimmy Snuka set the standard for cage spots with his Superfly Splash onto Bob Backlund, and again in I believe 1984 onto Don Muraco from the top of the cage. Jeff Hardy has finally been the one, over 20 years later, to finally outdo that spot and set the bar higher (well, Foley did it in his Hell in a Cell matches, but I consider HIAC distinct from a normal cage).

Meh, I can't get excited over a leap off a cage anymore... I've seen so many retarded spot monkeys do more, and it sucks smurf. I wanna be able to pop for a highspot, but I can't.

What is everyone going nuts about this for? Sure it was a great spot but we've seen things just as good as it many times before.

Am i the only person not impressed, he damn the same damn move he does off the top rope, who cares if it was higher? It's a horrible move done by a horrible wrestler. He needs to put the plaid back on and get to heat where he belongs not main eventing on my tv.

Just the fact that it was live, and the crowd was just so into it -- I haven't felt that way watching Raw in a long time. You put that in a "desire" video, set to a montage-type song, and it gives you goosebumps.
I know it sounds cheesy, but I felt like I was watching a moment -- one that changes the future of wrestling as we know it. On this day, live on Raw, we literally watched Jeff Hardy become a main eventer. We are all witnesses.

Eh, I kinda did the same Jeff Hardy spot about a month ago, except it was twice as high and I drank a glass of water half the way down. No big deal.

Hey you all remember when Teddy Hart out did this spot like 15 times over in one cage match? In fact he even did most of the spots after the cage match, then he got beaten up.

Someone needs to stiff Jeff Hardy, and make him learn the buisness.
