10 Crazy WWE Raw Moments You Totally Don't Remember
1. Jeff Hardy's Titantron Swanton Bomb
It’s a miracle that Jeff Hardy is even able to walk on his own accord these days, let alone wrestle at a high level. Now 39 years old, few wrestlers have taken more risks with their body than the legendary daredevil. He has no fear of recklessly flinging himself from high places if it means getting ahead in a match, and his WWE and TNA runs produced countless highlight reel moments.
Hardy’s death-defying stunts have become par for the course, but one of his most breathtaking moments came during his second WWE run in 2008. His main event with Randy Orton lasted just a couple of seconds before Orton got himself disqualified - but Randy wasn’t finished. He continued his assault on Jeff after the bell, but Hardy fought him off, and they soon worked their way to the stage.
Jeff Hardy, being Jeff Hardy, decided he’d scale the Titantron after dumping Orton off the stage, which obviously wasn’t enough to satiate his bloodlust. Hardy just kept climbing and climbing, and after reaching at least 40 feet, he dove from the Tron with one of the most spectacular Swanton Bombs he has ever pulled-off.
A huge moment, but one that often gets forgotten about thanks to Jeff’s TNA affiliation and WWE’s PG product. He probably won’t be repeating spots like this if he returns to WWE later this year, but such spots are what made Jeff Hardy a megastar in the first place.
