Darby Allin vs. Jeff Hardy was always going to be a collection of daredevil spots and "greatest hits" bumps. Honestly, does anyone know how Jeff still has it in him physically to take this sort of punishment? You'd think the legend would be pretty sick of hurting by now, but no - he went hell for leather vs. Darby.

Jeff's astonishing Swanton Bomb miss through a table on the outside was insane, and it more than matched the killer chair bump Allin took the last time this pair clashed on TV. Here's another Hardy side note worth mentioning. Jeff's subtle heel stuff, like slapping away Darby's attempts at a handshake pre and post match, are worth keeping an eye on.

The Hardys are loving this slow burn heel stuff.

Go out of your way to sit down and watch this match from start to finish. For extra sh*ts and giggles (and if you have the means to do so), speed up the tempo of the show just a little to see some of the wackiest carnage available.
