Jeff Hardy praises Brock Lesnar

Jeff Hardy said Brock Lesnar is ‘insanely gifted’ and is an incredible wrestler. Jeff Hardy said Brock Lesnar’s MMA career is inspiring because no one in WWE has done what Brock Lesnar did in the past. He said it would be really incredible to face Brock Lesnar again.

"I was his first match in WWE. I would love to get my a** kicked by him again, maybe. Maybe that could be my last match. I was his first match, he can be my last,” said Jeff Hardy.

Jeff Hardy revealed the idea which was rejected for the Backlash 2002 match

Jeff Hardy revealed that before facing Brock Lesnar at Backlash 2002, he had an ‘insane’ idea. He said during the match, he wanted to turn towards Paul Heyman to hit him with a Swanton Bomb, but Brock Lesnar would interrupt his move by spearing him in mid-air. Jeff Hardy said that the idea was rejected because it was too risky and impossible to do. “Then later, oh God, me and Kurt Angle tried that, and it didn’t work out at all. It was tough to pull off.”
