Jim Cornette Reviews The Hardys vs. Butcher & Blade (Tables Match) on AEW Dynamite

[@3DBrawlChannel]

Dynamite feels like it was made in Smackdown vs Raw GM mode. A show can't get a good rating unless it's littered with weapons matches, and the only way to progress a rivalry is to just have select wrestlers fight one another week after week until the ppv.

[@goldstandard8107]

This is what I was afraid off when Jeff Hardy came to AEW. They are too old for this kind of body wrecking spotfest matches but no they have to wrestle these dangerous hardcore matches. Times like this shows why Randy Orton's style is the right way to wrestle for older wrestlers.

[@deletedwaffles]

@@ennbee2051 Yes.

[@jesterr7133]

This is precisely what I was afraid of. Jeff hasn't looked like himself in years, and Matt has gone down quite a bit in the last couple of years. He doesn't even look like he is able to walk comfortably anymore. These guys have already given everything they have to the business. At this point, they need to be with people that can protect them and mask their weaknesses and get the most out of their current abilities. They need to be in situations that do not force them to do things that they cannot safely do anymore. They shouldn't be in a position where they are still attempting to do the same things they did 25 years ago. They do not need to be in matches like this anymore. Way to go, two time Booker of the Year.

I refuse to blame this on AEW. Nobody can convince me that this whole thing wasn't Matt & Jeff's idea. I would bet money that they went to Tony with this idea and they completely sold him on it, and the mark in Tony prevented him from being able to say NO. I have never been a fan of the Hardys. Their stupid nu-metal gimmick with the fucking JNCOs and the fishnets reminds me of me when I was 17 years old, but these dudes are in their mid 40s. That shit hasn't been cool or edgy in over 20 years. As far as the gimmick matches, that is their claim to fame. They are remembered for the TLC matches and absolutely ridiculous high spots, and IMO that's all there is to these guys. I lay the blame for this disaster squarely at the feet of the Hardys. I didn't want Jeff in AEW because I KNEW something like this would happen. There are so many other guys on the roster I would rather see than these two crippled and washed-up stuntmen. They have nothing to offer, and the sooner Tony realizes that, the better. Someone is going to get seriously hurt if they continue to allow these guys to go out and do this shit. I hope they don't get a run with the belts, because honestly, they don't deserve it. This made everybody involved look bad, even Sting. You can't tell me there isn't something better to do with Sting, Darby, Andrade, and Private Party than participate in this mockery of pro wrestling.

I think the irony is that in a vacuum the booking is quite logical.

But the problem is that it lacks the awareness that Andrade's group is much lower in star power than a reformed Hardy Boyz. And it fails to take into account that the Hardy's are washed up.

[@jamesd4223]

How much of this is the Hardy’s own choice? We know Tony is fairly open with wrestlers choices so much of this may just be Matt and Jeff refusing to slow down. Allowing wrestlers to have creative control is noble but, sometimes they need to be reeled in.

[@keithyw]

i listened to Matt Hardy talk a bit about this match on his channel and even his wife was confused because the rules weren't explained correctly. I'm not a fan of these types of matches to begin with but seeing the Hardys perform this way at their age in a nearly uncontrolled environment where their worst instincts take over exposes all the flaws that the WWE was really good at hiding for so many years. This type of match was good when they first starting doing it because they weren't doing it every week and the WWF was trying to compete and modernize their program with more flashy stuff. So the fans ate it up. But I still never cared for their original ladders match just because it never felt like a great match and was just a bunch of spots. Come AEW and Tony Khan is fulfilling his wet dream of attempting to re-create 1999 but the problem is that everyone is a lot older, not as healthy and not necessarily wiser. The thing is that you need to have the wrestlers protect themselves from themselves and Tony does a terrible job at understanding why virtually every TV show there's at least one injury. In the Hardys' case, I'm worried that they're going to really damage themselves. Both are roughly near my age and I can say that it just gets harder and harder as you don't heal as fast as you get older. Instead, of putting these exhibitions on for their PPV where they might be able to draw a crowd and make those events special, they're having them every week against job guys. There's no build but just here ya go. I mean, I remember when Benoit started changing his style. He wasn't doing the junior style as much and did more chopping and brawling. Guys like the Hardys need to start adjusting their style a bit for longevity, even if this is their last hurrah. And Tony has to got to get it into his thick skull that these matches aren't good and that he's just putting these guys at risk for no good reason.

[@NYC_Goody]

I completely agree on that ending and thought the same damn thing. You're telling me they couldn't bother to think it through AND AT LEAST have Matt eliminated instead so Jeff could do that spot so it'd MAKE SENSE. when I saw the highlight video aew put up and saw Jeff win it for his team only thing I could say is what the fuck is this.

[@Lorric101]

The commentators fucked this up so badly and I don't know why. It was a tag team table match. The same as the famous one the Hardy Boyz and Dudley Boyz had in the 2000 Royal Rumble. The ring announcer even spelled it out for them, both guys have to go through a table from an offensive manoeuvre. Simple. Nothing about people being eliminated and going to the back.

[@jamesharper1023]

Jeff used to jump to the top rope for his swanton, now he has to take 4 steps to get up there, and Matt's always been bowe-legged. Now he can barely walk and it is kinda depressing to see this, because they've always been known for the high risk bumps off of ladders through tables... I love the hardys they could still do the swanton off the ladder and all, but they don't got to take all the risks they're taking anymore.

[@Vandalle.]

Matt Hardy moves like one of his old wrestling figures with a flat diagonal hip/leg joint

[@peterdickinson4599]

Watched the start of this show. Then walked away and came back for the end. Skipped the middle. I find that works well pretty much every week.

[@timkruse9912]

you can visibly see they both look soo much in pain and agony, from matts leg drop to jeffs swanton, they both looked soo shit

How nobody has gotten severely hurt (that we know of) in this endless parade of gimmick matches on free television is a testament to Tony Khan's luck.

The Hardy's are more valuable to the WWE than they are to AEW.

[@phantomdriver2010]

Why do the Hardys keep doing stipulation matches. They just keep doing them for no reasons

[@willkenshin]

Tony just books them bcuz of nostalgia. He don't care for their health. Omega was wrestling with injuries in AEW but Tony still had him out there wrestling. When Jeff signed with AEW, I knew it would be a disaster and I was right. Who even gets excited for Hardy matches these days besides AEW fans....

[@veegob5287]

Neither of them walks without a limp. They need to do an injury angle, pull them off TV. Get them as healthy as possible, cause this run is BROKEN…no pun intended.

[@jrob476]

The most shocking thing to me is wrestling fans actually believing the Hardy’s would still be great LOL

[@Sillyzombie666]

So I went to the show which was not worth getting covid for. So one thing that everyone who didn't see it live doesn't understand is as someone who was in the building they never once mentioned any of those stipulations all we knew was it was going to be a Tables Ladders and Chairs match so every time someone went through tableware like why didn't they win do they must have to do a pin then at the end when Jeff jumps off the ladder he wins and we're like what the fuck just happened what the hell is going on. Also during the commercial break Jeff Matt and sting posed with each other hugged and you can see they were chatting a bit also at one point we couldn't find Jeff so I thought he had ran into the crowd again

Even watching at home u had no clue what was going on the announcers couldn't even explain it ..Tony tried but got lost JR jumped in and confused it more and excalibur agreed with both of them and we are like so how do they win? ..its a shame because for every great moment they produce there's 3 that make the promotion look like the UWF

@@DarkLordofTheSith69 the one thing I find hilarious about the two shows I've gone to for aew I always laugh when Tony comes out and screams at the crowd and excitement like he really needs to not talk on the mic and if he does he needs and not yell because it just comes out like he's in a middle of a screaming match and he's losing

I honestly fast forwarded this match. In AEW it seems like the rules never really apply and they just make them up on the fly. The more I watch AEW the more I don't want to watch it anymore.
