10 Incredible Death Defying WWE Leaps

2. Edge Spears Jeff Hardy Off A 20 Foot Ladder At WrestleMania 17

WWE.comWWE.com"Oh my God! Edge off a 20 foot ladder with a Spear on Jeff Hardy! For the love of God, Jeff Hardy may be broken smack dab in half!" - Jim Ross Ever since he retired Edge has done a lot of interviews in his career and there have been times when he was asked about his most memorable spot. It was the spear on Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania 17 that he thinks of the most. There are plenty of other great ones too, but I agree that this was the riskiest one for him as he put his body on the line from about 20 feet high. It was such a risky move because when you're up on a ladder there's a lot of uncertainty that you're going to be able to keep your balance and then to hit a physical move like a Spear is pretty crazy. There's also concern about the landing. What if they don't land the right way? It could have been a very painful move. In the end it worked out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrjjlXdO39s It's remembered as one of the riskiest moves in the careers of two guys who may have done the most risky moves of anybody in WWE history.
