Jeff Hardy Admits The Swanton Bomb Hurts

Jeff Hardy is a pro wrestling icon, there’s no debate, and his legend was partly built by his use of the high risk Swanton Bomb.

Whether off of ladders, walls, trucks, scaffolding, or just the turnbuckle, it’s a move that always gets a reaction, but as Hardy is advancing in years, the AEW star has admitted that the Swanton hurts, saying the following during the Ad Free Supershow Media Scrum:

“Yeah, it hurts. It hurts,” Hardy said. “It hurts the guy. It’s no longer the Swanton Bomb, it’s the Crouton Bomb. The other night with Marc Quen, I just crushed him. It was terrible. It used to be, but actually we had an indie show with nZo and Cass and I really took care of him, man. So I rolled right off him. It’s one of those things, man. As you get older, you kind of like, lose control on certain things.”

Hardy also stated earlier in the media scrum that this AEW run would be the last major run for he and brother Matt as a team:

“Our last run,” Hardy said. “We’re getting older, you know? I’m 44, Matt’s 45, 46, 47. So I mean, it’s our last run. It’s gonna be special and I think AEW is the place we can actually do that open-minded. Like, it’s free. So it feels so good. I’m right exactly where I’m supposed to be.”
