The United States Championship triple threat match between Damian Priest, Jeff Hardy and Sheamus was careering wildly off the f*cking rails thanks to a couple of humiliating botches by 'The Archer Of Infamy' and 'The Charismatic Enigma', but the three's willingness to absolutely batter each other and Sheamus' incredible patter somehow made this nothing match feel like everything.
Did you see him doing his little crotch chops and Jeff Hardy poses as he gingerly kept his balance? Did you really see it, though?!
It can go such a long way, and it did here. Laughing at the whole thing suddenly made the prior errors feel insignificant, and eventual winner Priest felt like he'd accomplished something as part of that too. His teflon year continues.
