13 Most Insane Wrestling Spots Of The Week (August 9)
Thanks to Vampiro and Pentagón Jr. for the flaming table!
For those of us who live for those special moments of exhilaration, the past week of professional wrestling programming has been in no short supply of them. From TNA's No Surrender to Lucha Underground's Ultima Lucha, several promotions where already prepared to bring their best.
Matt Hardy fought in a Full Metal Mayhem match for the TNA Championship. Vampiro gave a surprising violent performance against his rival no more at Lucha Underground's season finale. Even on Monday Night Raw, Neville provided a few insanely tense moments of his own when he came this close to winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
This article will rehash all of the more exciting moments of the past week and scour the most insane spots that aired on TV. Lucha Underground, Raw, NXT, Ring of Honor, Smackdown, and TNA Impact are all viewed and considered, but only the most insane spots get featured. Consider this the wrestling article version of SportCenter's Top Plays.
Defining what is insane can get tricky, but usually it's the wrestling moves that are the most dangerous or the most emotionally thrilling. That's not an absolute definition, but we know the spots when we see them.
13. Matt Hardy Performs A Sick Leg Drop
In the main event of TNA's No Surrender TV special this week, Matt Hardy took on TNA Champion Ethan Carter III in a Full Metal Mayhem match. It was an enjoyable affair that had both fun spots with lots of weaponry and no crazy overbooked finish.
To gain an advantage near the end of the match, Matt Hardy performed this high risk leg drop from the top of the turnbuckles onto EC3, who was positioned on a table on the outside.
Both guys obliterated the table. Despite this big move being so late in the match, Hardy ultimately came up short in his title bid. Carter continues to be the TNA Champion.
