Kurt Angle vs Jeff Hardy - TNA Victory Road 2012

 

For the record, Angle is a heel because his son is a big Jeff Hardy fan & Kurt doesn't approve of his lifestyle. This is Jeff Harry's redemption tour after the previous years debacle against Sting.

 

Pretty basic match. Angle is a heel and gets outwrestled. I get the psychology but don't agree with it. Angle uses a hard elbow & eyerake to control. Hardy keeps him off balance with head scissors and baseball slide. Transition suck as expected. Only good one is Hardy going into railing hard leads to a short,tepid heat segment.

 

The finish run is just them blending their spots together. Each one hits a spot, misses their follow up spot and the opponent takes over. I do appreciate that they had decency to at least put a missed spot in the middle to break up the My turn, your turn. I thought they did a great job to make Jeff earn the Swanson Bomb. It took him three tries to hit it and that's where the drama was. I appreciate that over 8 million Anklelocks. Hardy nails the 3rd one and I mean nails it. Finish is lame Angle gets an Oklahoma Roll and grabs ropes. The Swanson Bomb was built to be a game ended but Angle still had the wherewithal to get a pin out of it. Really undercuts the previous work.

 

Super basic match. It is Angle & Hardy doing their spots. It was decent.

Kurt does not want his son looking up to a drug addict.
