Matt Hardy vs. Elias (Kickoff Match)
The veteran Hardy brought his best, using his cunning and experience to gain the edge at several points in the contest despite Elias’ size and strength advantage. Elias used those attributes to systematically pick Hardy apart, though, zoning in specifically on the former Raw Tag Team Champion’s shoulder.
In the match’s critical moments, Elias weathered a flurry of offense from Hardy, which included a ring-rattling Side Effect onto the hardest part of the canvas. Elias surged back after ramming Hardy’s vulnerable shoulder into the steel ring post, however. The brutal move left the Team Xtreme member defenseless as Elias hit Drift Away for one of the biggest victories of his career to date.

Since Jeff is recovering from his smoulder surgery, I thought I would take the opportunity to upload some screen captures from older episodes of TNA Wrestling that feature the Charismatic Enigma. This way, we will have some Jeff updates while we wait for his return.
