I'd be willing to bet the flying leg drop is one the main reasons Psicosis is in the shape he's in. Its incredible to me that wrestlers who regularly do or did it don't end up paralyzed

[@hang1893]

Just gotta look at Hulk to see how damaging the leg drop can be if done for long periods of time. I can only imagine what a flying leg drop could do. And Matt did his during a time when the rings were better built. So I can only imagine what it felt like for Hogan in the early days.

[@lilcapital985]

Matt and Jeff Hardy are the best duo to ever exist in entertainment wrestling

[@johnnybraxton5539]

Poetry in motion

[@donovanmarcus289]

He should go into the Hall of Fame just for that crazy bump! I need to go back and watch that full match.

[@123FUG33]

He probably will with his bro Jeff Hardy as one of the greatest tag teams ever.

[@theoriginaltroll388]

They let so many bums in the HOF Matt and Jeff should get in twice as a duo and singles wrestlers

[@Carlitonsp1]

Strange to think that this was where he started to think about working smarter, when I think by this point he had completely destroyed his meniscus on one knee.

[@leviathol]

Meniscus tears are that big of a deal. ACL and PCL are way worse

[@kenterminateddq5311]

How did Matt not break his tailbone like Kurt Angle broke his during his EPIC match against Shane McMahon in 2001?

[@V-95K]

It was either luck, technique or just his body type is more suited for this type of stuff than Kurt’s body 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@ghosthero0806]

my moms tailbone bends outward instead of inward and so it pokes out of her skin if she bends over too far, it'll be different for everyone

[@jconny65]

That's why he moves like the tinman now

[@Themando24]

Yup it caught up to him now

[@IvanTheSaint]

That shit was crazy. Jumping all the way from up there and landing on your ass. A cross body and having someone catching you is one thing but that leg drop was just crazy

[@joesolo7719]

words of wisdom at the end there. It is important to keep working out and training as you get older

[@danielmelo7146]

One interview. Two absolute legends.

[@michaelvazquez7851]

Good interview

[@drew8324]

The fact that he is still alive walking without a game Matt Hardy is so unbelievably durable I cannot believe it he has to have one of the strongest bodies ever gifted on the human Earth in terms of long term durability

[@anon2414]

I always thought the hardy boyz were Mexican when I was a kid 😂😂.

[@KalmoK]

Just have to give respect to everyone who do shit like Matt and Jeff, it's a damn wonder he can even walk anymore. Hulk Hogan did a standing leg drop and fucked his back, Matt has done that from the top rope, ladder and from top of cage and is still wrestling, just wow... The Hardy Boys and RVD are my all-time favorite wrestlers and I will miss them after they retire, I thank you for all the great moments you guys have given us while sacrificing your body ❤

[@R8DRBeagle]

Hulk Hogan said it had to do with the rongs being harder when he was wrestling. Some of the other legends say the same thing but I remember Hulk saying this

[@jonnyturtleneck7153]

The Hardy’s are from the New Generation era and still wrestle. Jeff Hardy wrestled Yokozuna.

[@averagejackmedia609]

Hogan: took me 30 years to do that kinda damage brother.

[@MikeyMike-uu3fe]

He had to have had a migraine headache Landing flat on yer ass like that has always givin me one

[@DonnieHardenJr]

What's crazy about that is that's basically what the Undertaker was saying about him being injured at WrestleMania 30. He was only wrestling, you know, one match a year and then eventually that catches up to you. Which his body was more susceptible to injuries and we all know what ended up happening with that and the concussion and stuff. So it's great to hear that Matt is still feeling good enough to do this, because I can remember watching The Hardy Boyz as a kid and I'm almost 30. So it's amazing to see what him and Jeff are still doing!

[@V-95K]

Imagine what Steve Austin felt coming back after 20+ years of retirement

[@DonnieHardenJr]

@@V-95K But Austin didn't get hurt. There might have been some potatoes thrown, but that's about it. To my knowledge.

Last year I saw the Hardy’s in AEW, I wish they would retire. They looked in pain just walking. I’d like to see them become coaches and creative members.

Her finish is literally a twisting stunner from the top rope nothing wrong with that 😂

[@scrappyv1]

@@phenomenalelitebasketball2124 are you retarded? The human spine isn’t designed to take that impact 300 times a year. Austin & Hogan talk about the impact of their finish on their respective bodies and it’s not good. Her finish is variably worse with the added momentum and height.
