10 Weapon Fails That Totally Ruined Wrestling Matches

10. The Hardys Flop On AEW Dynamite

The idea was simple, yet also too ambitious.

About a month ago, Tony Khan decided to present the Hardys as the 1999-2001 vintage and reestablish the act as a fun nostalgic midcard concern - via the basic, uplifting fan service of tornado brawls and table wreckage chaos - before a sympathetic veteran run.

The most serviceable greatest hits set imaginable was always going to generate a major goodwill-driven reaction, and the match against Private Party did. The subsequent eight-man tornado bout was a cracking shortcut-driven diversion. The recent Tables match opposite the Butcher and the Blade however undid the good feeling ahead of an inevitable feud with the Young Bucks, which now feels decidedly less like 2017 left something on the table. The table itself is at least still standing, if only because it did not play along at all during the match itself.

In one unfortunate and quite sad spot, the Butcher and the Blade sought to blast Jeff through a table, but a leg gave way, and that was it. They couldn't very well say on commentary "There was no pleasing crunch, so it doesn't count".

It had to count, even if it looked sh*te, but the pacing was so dull and the struggle to do these old spots was so painfully awkward that perhaps there was nothing to ruin.
