Jeff Hardy Shares His Pitch For An “Upward Spiral Match”
Jeff Hardy has an idea for a new type of match.
Speaking with Inside The Ropes ahead of WWE Survivor Series, Hardy discussed his wrestling bucket list, noting how he was able to scratch off Hell In A Cell (he faced Randy Orton at the event in 2018) and that he’s okay not competing inside the punishing structure again.
Continuing on, Hardy shared his pitch for an “Upward Spiral Match,” which was inspired by the rotating WCW ring at Universal Orlando circa 1993. Here are his full remarks:
“Yeah, I think Hell in a Cell was on my bucket list and I’d even mentioned, ‘I’d like to do one more,’ but I think I’m good with just the one. I smashed my ankle pretty good when I was hanging from the top and it hurt me for a pretty long while. But yeah, I think I’m alright with that one Hell in a Cell. I have this weird — I’m out there, but I have this weird idea for this Upward Spiral Match or something. I don’t know if you know this, but back in the day, WCW used to film at Universal Studios Orlando and it was on a stage, but the ring would spin. It would spin and even as a little kid watching that I think it was implanted in my brain, I was going, ‘What if there is a match to where you wrestle for five minutes but then there is a [beeping sound] and the ring starts spinning. Then it spins at a certain speed for a certain amount of time and then you stop. Naturally, you get dizzy. But then another two minutes and it starts to spin again but just a little faster. I’m just curious if you can run spots as the ring’s spinning and be safe. The Upward Spiral Match.”
During a recent interview, the SmackDown Superstar discussed the possibility of facing Edge one more time. You can find those comments here.
