12 Most Paused Moments In AEW History
5. Matt Hardy's Disgusting Landing
From one terrifying All Elite bump to another.
However, while Darby Allin's revolting fall at Revolution was seemingly executed as (insanely) planned, the same could not be said for Matt Hardy's infamous and often replayed All Out 2020 disaster.
Speared off a scissor lift by Sammy Guevara as the two competed in a Broken Rules match at Daily's Place, the out of control pair overshot the table below and The Hardy Boy's head horribly smacked off the concrete.
Matt would eventually openly take the blame for things not being in the right position that night (on Twitch via Cultaholic), with the legend who was controversially allowed to continue on in the match somehow escaping this scary moment without a concussion.
It was that disturbing and often screenshotted image (seen above) of a clearly out of it Matt being attended to by Dr. Michael Sampson which left many questioning that aforementioned call to let Hardy carry on, and the entire unsettling scenario is one the company would probably prefer fans to forget.
But it's a dangerous spot that was regularly paused and replayed by concerned and morbidly curious viewers that night, and will forever remain a lowlight of an already often bleak pandemic period in wrestling.
