Jeff Hardy's unexpected run of good matches Appreciation

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Since it was on Rampage a lot of people might've missed it, but that shit ruled. It was MILES better then their first match

Far and away Jeff Hardy's best match in AEW. Didn't know he had it in him still. But it was a pleasant surprise, and heel Jeff Hardy could be fun at least.

[KME]

Think the first had the more impressive spots but this was the better overall match. But yeah, it was great, Jeff hadn't taken many big bumps for a while and looked all the better for it. Definitely the best I've seen Jeff in AEW and it didn't look like he was killing himself out there which you'd probably guess he'd have to in order to have a great match these days, he was actually pretty sensible in terms of what bumps he took.

I did enjoy the kid Hardy super fan in front row. Looked so happy seeing Jeff wrestle. Hopefully Jeff went to him post match

[john84]

It was definitely a fun match. One of Jeff's better matches in recent years. Super fan kid in the audience was nice to see.

I really hope we get the Hardys vs Private Party at Revolution!

Yeah that match had insane spots that were memorable, but as an actual match this just felt better paced, better executed, and still had crazy spots

Overall Jeff's looked way better since he came back and allowed his body time to heal, and looks way better for it. Darby can also make everyone look like a million bucks which was definitely a factor but Jeff hit all his spots clean too

[Cyno]

Darby is super-underrated as a technical wrestler because of all the crazy things he does overshadows it.

I had zero expectations for the match. Was surprised at how good it was.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

It was a well put together match and both seemed to come out of it moving alright. Jeff is still beneath what he once was but he looked better than you would expect out there.

[Denny Zen]

Really good match that did a great job highlighting the things that Jeff can still do well and hiding his limitations. I’m still not ultra keen on Jeff taking some of those wild bumps at this stage of his career, but it was a really fun match.

[bob]

it was really, really weird seeing Darby doing technical wrestling -- I actually forgot he could do that pretty well

[Muskrat]

Yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of that match

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Ok so someone told Jeff Hardy to step the f*** up or get the f*** out right?

Dude's had two of his best matches in a row in a very long time and given how over he still is with crowds, the show is all the better for it really

I hope he can keep this quality up and whatever he did to rehab his body, it's working.

[lucas_lee]

Jeff either found the fountain of youth and is starting to do better (Matt still looks like ****) or he's on the Rick James diet. But great two last matches from him.

[KME]

Said it after the Darby match but I think a run of the Hardyz not doing all that much, while it's led to people calling them boring and a waste of money, has allowed Jeff to recuperate while not actually getting ring rust due to having low key matches here and there, so he can simply do more right now. But yeah he was very good again, he's not the Jeff Hardy he was but it would be unfair to expect him to be given he's annihilated his body for decades, he's made some god awful decisions outside the ring but purely inside it if he can maintain this level he can have a great end to his career, just needs to be in there with the right guys.

[polarbearpete]

Great to see Jeff bouncing back physically to put on entertaining matches. Wonder if he still has a prominent singles run in him.

[Viking Hall]

I'll be honest, I thought he still looked awful in the Swerve match (I haven't seen the Darby match) and was probably the worst Swerve match in some time. He's lost the speed he once had, and his style simply doesn't work without that faster pace. Plus there's always the 'is he high, selling or just being weird' factor to everything he does which is just off putting with all the water under the bridge at this point.

And now the Moxley match was very good... even had a callback to Randy Orton's fun ear spot lol

Really curious where this angle keeps going, but this is absolutely the best stretch of matches Jeff Hardy has had in years. I didn't think he still had this much of a viable singles run left in him...

[CeilingFan]

I still hope we get Hardys vs Private Party at Revolution.

Maybe the tweets were coming from a real place but something seems to have lit a fire under Jeff. He seems generally motivated to do more than coast on nostalgia pops for the first time in years.

[Soultastic]

I've been really enjoying his work.

Just please for the love of god stop endangering others while driving.
