5. Matt Hardy Teases Retirement

Is this the end of the road for Matt Hardy?

Following his team’s loss in RAW’s Triple Threat Tag Team Match, Matt Hardy tweeted that he “shall miss” his current - former? - partner Bray Wyatt. This followed the horrendously painful-sounding revelation that his backbone is fusing into his pelvis. Certain wrestlers, like the Great Khali, have made a living despite an inability to actually move - but this isn’t the way you’d imagine Hardy wants to go out. The man made his name taking dangerous risks in incredible matches. He is, in many ways, the opposite of a freak show attraction. Without a gigantic or muscled body with which to market himself, Hardy instead used his talent, work ethic and legendary creativity to become an enduring star in pro wrestling.

If this is the end, we’ll remember the crazy bumps. We’ll remember the matches that redefined tag team wrestling. We’ll remember his BROKEN brilliance.

We’ll remember the bad gimmicks, because they were funny, and because they prove that failure is nothing but a lesson from which to learn.
