When The Dudley Boyz came to WWE from ECW, one of their first matches was a Tables match against The Hardy Boyz. Looking back on that match now, Matt can notice a significant lack of selling from both teams, and that’s because they had 5 minutes cut from the match right before they went out. He points out that this was still a very cool moment because table matches were fairly new to the WWE Universe.

Jeff talks about the delivery of his Swanton Bomb. He points out that when he was younger he’d try to manipulate his body as best he could so he wouldn’t squat his opponent to death. Unfortunately, he started having problems with his lower back as a result of this, so he jokes that he’s decided to just start crushing people with it now. Matt points out that Karl Anderson has listed the Swanton Bomb as one of the most painful moves to take.

Jeff recalls his Swanton Bomb from the top of the ladder through Edge during one of the infamous TLC matches. Prior to the match Jeff asked if they could break a ladder and they got the go ahead, so towards the end of the match Jeff scaled the ladder and dove through Edge who was laying on a ladder. Edge says that was the worst pain he’s ever felt in his life. He wasn’t sure if he had broken bones and he questioned whether he’d ever breath again.
