Jeff Hardy Discusses Why He Removed Swanton Bombs From Live Events For a While

– Jeff Hardy spoke during a media roundtable in Europe about his health, the WWE schedule and more. Highlights are below, per Wrestling Inc:

On temporarily cutting Swanton Bombs out of his arsenal for live events: “I actually quit doing it for a while on the live events. I’ve been doing it lately but my back was killing me. I had a flight one morning and I ate breakfast on a stool and when I got up, something was going on — I could barely walk and on the flight it got worse. I don’t know if it’s nerve issues or what. But it was bad for about two weeks. I stopped doing those Swantons at live events just to do it at TV because it’s really rough on your lower back. You know that’s completely true, but I’m feeling a lot better now. I don’t know what it was. The nerve stuff is scary. Because my hand was asleep for seven weeks for a nerve issue in my elbow. It’s better now, but everything kinda hurts and I just gotta do what I can to maintain my health basically moving forward. If that means not doing the Swanton every night, I think that’s okay. I don’t think people will be extremely mad.”

On the constant schedule of WWE: “The WWE, this schedule is tough. But you gotta be tough to survive here. But around 2020 hopefully we can do a limited schedule something with not as much wrestling where we do heal up. That was the great thing about TNA and doing the indies, man. We would do [TV] tapings and be off for like a month and then do our indies whenever we wanted to. It was fun, but here it ain’t no joke man. You gotta be ready to go because they don’t slow down.”
