Two Conchairtos on the ring steps - Chair-steppo? I don’t know the terminology - with the added bonus of Hardy facing away from the camera, so they can still use the clip to promote Orton and Edge’s feud if Hardy’s over in AEW being the Exalted Deleter of the Dark Order, or whatever. Independent of the Hardy Boys’ contracts or whether or not they’re staying, this was the kind of write-off that screams see you never whether they’re sticking around or not.
I’m guessing this was described as “no holds barred” because it involved a psychotic wrestling villain brutally attacking a helpless person in a neck brace? There was even a guy named Randy involved. Orton, being Orton, is like, “well, let’s test that out.” This week they’re supposed to have a no holds barred match and Hardy can’t get medically cleared, so he interrupts Orton’s show-opening promo to reiterate that he WILL NOT DIE~. Then Matt Hardy showed up, representing Edge in a TLC Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants kind of way and got his head and neck obliterated by chairs. When he considered apologizing (because it’s clear that he considered injuring Edge to be a “mercy kill” on someone he loves, in his own perverse asshole Snake Man kind of way), the crowd dumped on him for a full quarter-hour of boos and he couldn’t do it. Every show since his post- Royal Rumble attack on Edge has built upon the previous week and moved the story forward. If there’s one thing Randy Orton can do as well as anybody in wrestling, it’s a WrestleMania build. We thought Matt Hardy was gone after last week’s attack and “goodbye” tweet, but he’s back! … In a neck brace, to get absolutely murdered by Randy Orton!
