I tortured myself with 7 more infamous matches By zebrainatux on Jan 10, 2021, 8:15pm EST 22
Since the first part of this did so well, I tortured myself again for your entertainment. I might have to do it again if a bet I have fails, which is 14 more if Daniel Bryan doesn’t win the Royal Rumble. God, please let him do so.
Let s get right to it.
1. Jeff Hardy vs. Tetsuya Naito Wrestle Kingdom V
I bet a lot of you didn’t know this match happened. It did, but New Japan likes to pretend it never happened. Because you see, this was 2011 Jeff Hardy, so he’s not on this planet during the match. Naito tries to do something with him, but it just never happens and it’s just brutal to watch one guy try and the other be in another realm entirely. This match was part of why New Japan severed their agreement with TNA, combined with Okada and Team 3D stuff, which is another thing entirely. Safe to say, this is brutal to watch.
