10 Most Death-Defying Matches In Wrestling History

10. The Hardys Vs. The Revolution (Six Sides Of Steel, TNA Lockdown 2015)

It’s remarkable that Jeff Hardy is even able to walk on his own accord in 2016, let alone maintain a high-profile wrestling career. The younger Hardy brother’s reckless tendencies have seen him not only participate in some of America’s most dangerous wrestling matches, but throw caution to the wind and perform dozens of career-shortening spots.

This match from TNA’s Lockdown 2015 pay-per-view might not be one of Jeff’s most famous, but it was certainly one of his most dangerous. He and Matt took-on James Storm and Abyss in the event’s signature cage match, but things took a turn for the worse when Jeff scaled the wall.

Jeff lost his balance when Abyss pushed the door out from under him, slipped, and was crotched on its top edge. If the death of his manhood wasn’t enough, however, Hardy found himself attacked by a chain-wielding Storm. He fell from the door and landed right on the steel steps, head and shoulders first.

The initial fall was planned, but the steps were not. Jeff was unsurprisingly KO’d by the fall, but he should count himself lucky: the fall and landing could easily have left him paralyzed, or worse. It’s one of the sickest falls you’ll ever see, even by Jeff’s standards.
