28 WTF Moments From TNA Impact (Jan 5)

19. That Matt Hardy Win Out Of Nowhere

In the night's second semi-final match, Eric Young delivers a brutal piledriver to Matt Hardy on the exposed concrete outside the ring, and when Jeff goes to check on his brother, E.Y. baseball slides into Jeff, sending him crashing into the guardrail. E.Y. taunts at Jeff for a few seconds before climbing the turnbuckle to attack Matt, who has rolled back in to the ring, but as he dives off, Matt nails a surprise Twist of Fate out of nowhere and scores the victory. So, in the span of 80 seconds, Matt goes from being driven into concrete to scoring a win against an opponent in far better match condition? It just reeks of poor booking and doesn't make much sense. Where's the build? Yes, flukey wins would happen if wrestling were "real", but it undermines the brutality of E.Y.'s attack if Hardy can recover from it so fast.
