Jeff Hardy vs. MVP
This is a Summerslam rematch. The bell rings and they stare at each other as MVP talks trash. This is going to be great. MVP is mouthing off and pushes Jeff. Jeff pushes back and MVP charges and gets a drop toe hold for his efforts! Hardy quickly gets him in a headlock and theyre up on their feet now. MVP tries to whip him off by the ropes but Jeff is clinging on hard. MVP tries to give him a back suplex to break the hold but Hardy comes forward and does a headlock takeover! MVP now tries pulling the hair and rolls him over for a one count. They get up to their feet and MVP finally whips Jeff off the ropes but Hardy comes up and floors him with a shoulder block. Hardy comes off the ropes again and again takes MVP down with a shoulder block. Hardy goes for a third time but MVP drops down and Hardy jumps over him and MVP uses the momentum to throw Hardy out of the ring but he lands on his feet!
MVP puts his head through the ropes and Hardy punches him. He does it again for the same result and now Hardy is on the apron and comes in the ring, ducking a punch from MVP and punches MVP down. MVP now rolls out of the ring! Hes frustrated as he bangs on the announcers table. MVP gets back in at five.
They stand off and Hardy immediately catches MVP in a headlock. MVP winds up breaking the hold by pulling Hardy down by his hair! MVP mouths off to Hardy on the canvas for too long as Hardy quickly chops the knee of MVP and hits a nice leg drop! Hardy gets MVP up and wrenches the left arm. MVP gets out of this by kneeing him in the gut but Hardy quickly responds with a deep arm drag, shades of Ricky The Dragon Steamboat there. Hardy hits two more arm drags and keeps the arm in a lock after the third. Hardy gets him up to his feet and hits the arm. Hardy wrenches the arm again and MVP backs right into the corner to break the hold. MVP hasnt been in control once.
MVP stalls a little bit and Hardy charges and hits him with some forearms. Hardy brings him out of the corner and whips him into the other one and charges but hits the elbow of MVP this time. MVP quickly capitalizes by pulling Hardys leg out from under him and wrenching it. MVP goes for what could be the old Terry Funk finisher of the Spinning Toe Hold but well never know as Hardy kicks him off and MVP goes through the top two turnbuckles and into the metal ring post! Hardy goes to the apron and takes MVPs left arm and whips it against the post and does it again! Hardy is on the apron and catapults himself over the top rope and into MVPs battered left arm. Hardy covers him for a one count.
Hardy picks MVP up and whips him into the ropes but MVP hangs onto the ropes and desperately gets out of the ring again to take a breather! Hardy goes for a Plancha but MVP runs out of the way and Hardy positions himself on the apron. MVP thinks Hardy landed on the floor and turns around to see Jeff Hardy running off the apron and does a flipping senton into MVP! Nicely done and now its time for a commercial.
:::Commercial Break:::
We come back from the break to see that Hardy has MVP in a standing arm bar. MVP is trying to fight out of it but he cant get out! They show a replay of the senton from before the commercial break. MVP just hasnt been able to really get a series of moves in this match up. Hardy releases the arm bar and starts hitting him with some forearms and MVP falls backwards and grabs Hardys pants, driving Hardy forward head first into the second turnbuckle. Now I think MVP should start it up.
MVP lays in some boots to Hardy who is on the canvas in pain. MVP picks Hardy up and hits an Inverted Suplex into the ropes! Hardy lands gut first on the ropes and that doesnt look like fun. Hardy is hanging there and MVP kicks Hardy right in the face and he falls to the outside!
MVP goes to the outside now and drops him face first on the barricade. MVP kicks him in the chest and rolls him in the ring. MVP covers and gets a close two count! MVP is upset and lays in some forearms and a jumping knee and gets another near fall! MVP is frustrated now and locks Hardy in sitting abdominal stretch. I love this move. Hardy of course is selling it perfectly with the facial expressions as MVP pounds on his rib cage. Hardy gets to his feet but MVP keeps it locked in. Hardy grabs the legs of MVP and has him against his back and hits what looks like a horizontal Emerald Fusion or a mid body Samoan Drop. Tazz said its a side slam Id hate to disagree with him.
Both men get up at the count of four. Hardy goes to kick MVP and he catches the kick but falls victim to the flipping mule kick from Hardy. MVP falls back into the turnbuckle, sitting. Hardy hits his jumping slingshot dropkick to the chest in the corner and that always looks painful. Hardy picks MVP up, kicks him in the gut and hits a nice Inverted Falcon Arrow. Jeff Hardy now signals for the Swanton. He gets up to the top rope and flies off into the knees of MVP! Hardy rolls over to the other corner and MVP hits a baseball slide, sending Jeff Hardy spine first under the bottom turnbuckle and into the metal ring post, pretty much cutting him in half! Ouch!
MVP goes to the outside and grabs the arm and the leg of Jeff Hardy and pulls back, bending Hardy even more against that ring post! The referee gives him the count and MVP releases at four and Hardy falls to the outside. MVP gets in the ring to break the ten count and goes right back out and rolls Hardy in and covers for a close two count! MVP picks Hardy up and lays him out on the top turnbuckle and punches him in the face a few times. MVP backs away and then charges and kicks Hardy hard in the back and he falls off the top turnbuckle! That sounded stiff. MVP pulls Hardy up to a seated position by the hair and kicks him in the spine again! MVP covers again and gets a VERY close two count!
MVP now puts his boot on Hardys face and rubs it in for a few as an insult as if it could be misconstrued as something other than one. Whats the variable? MVP bends over and mouths off to Hardy who punches even though hes down! MVP responds with some vicious forearms and covers for another close two count! MVP now locks Hardy in a textbook Camel Clutch. Iron Sheik would be proud! MVP now hits some crossfaces and locks it in again! MVP really cranks it back but Hardy makes one last ditch effort and grabs the ropes.
MVP drops an elbow into Hardys injured back and picks him up for a body slam. MVP mouths off and drops a knee and gets another two count! MVP knees Hardy in the back and locks in another Surfboard Stretch! This isnt locked in for long as Hardy gets up and elbows and punches out of it. MVP ducks one swing and hits a picture perfect back suplex! This leads to MVP covering again for another CLOSE two count! MVP picks him up now and Hardy punches out and comes off the ropes into an overhead belly to belly suplex from MVP! MVP covers for ANOTHER TWO COUNT!
Hardy now pulls himself up on the ropes and the fans are chanting his name. MVP hits and Hardy hits back. Hardy finally gets the better of MVP and punches a whole bunch. Hardy goes to whip MVP into the corner but MVP reverses and whips Hardy. Hardy climbs the ropes for Whisper in the Wind but MVP runs up and chops the leg and Hardy falls back and LANDS ON HIS HEAD!! WOW!! Charles Robinson is down by Hardy in like one one-hundredth of a second to check on Hardy. MVP covers and the referee goes outside to count the pin (technically that wouldnt count as a pinfall count) and Hardy miraculously kicks out at TWO AND NINE TENTHS!!
MVP now has Hardy on the top rope looking for a back suplex off the top rope! He climbs up and hits some forearms to Hardys spine. MVP falls back with Hardy but he turns in midair and thats just a collision to the canvas! If that last bump with Hardy landing on his head wasnt so impressive than this would have been Bump of the Night! Hardy turns MVP for a cover and gets two and a half!
MVP is crawling and puts his head through the ropes so Hardy goes to the outside and forearms him in the face and gets right back in. Hardy picks MVP up and he kicks him in the gut and comes off the ropes but Hardy hits that spinning clothesline (I think its a neckbreaker) on MVP! Hardy comes off the ropes and hits a running forearm and runs again and takes MVP down again with a falling clothesline! Hardy bounces MVPs head off the top turnbuckle. Hardy goes to whip MVP off the ropes but MVP reverses it and whips Hardy into the ropes who comes off and kicks MVP in the face. Hardy now sees the opening and runs up the ropes and hits a beautiful Whisper in the Wind. Hardy now sees another opening and gets up to the top rope and hits a beautiful Swanton Bomb for the win in this terrific match!
Winner by Pinfall: Jeff Hardy
No sooner does this match end when United States Champion Shelton Benjamin runs in and hits Pay Dirt on Jeff Hardy! MVP gets up and smiles with Benjamin and pats him on the shoulder for what he did to Hardy and Benjamin responds by hitting Pay Dirt on MVP!
