But when you take a guy like Jeff Hardy, who has been in more ladder matches this past month or two than any other person in their career, accidents are going to happen. Was it Jeff, no, but it was Mercury who, in my opinion, botched a move and it cost him his face...the risk you take when you have to sell the SAME MATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
It was no ones fault, other then maybe the bookers. Mecury was out for six months. Then he comes back and wrestles a few tag matches here and there. Sure he had some matches in OVW, but they were rehab matches. The bookers should have known not to have thrown him into a ladder match. Nitro was in I believe one ladder match before. Mercury hadnt been in any, so how was he to know what he was to do during a ladder move. You would think he would get his hands up, but maybe he figured the ladder wouldnt actually hit him. It would go past his head. Who knows, but I wouldnt call it a "botched move."
