If a Jeff Hardy “Whisper in the Wind” maneuver fails horribly, does anybody feel it? Apparently, Jinder Mahal did on Friday at WWE’s “Greatest Royal Rumble” event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Not only did United States Champion Hardy miss his move by a mile, Mahal made the bizarre choice to take the bump anyway.

Yeah, that was real bad — even WWE color commentator Corey Graves had to acknowledge the total whiff. Expect this double screw-up to be the main event of the next “Botchamania,” a popular web series that highlights professional wrestling mistakes.
Hardy went on to win the match and keep his belt, adding insult to very fake injury for Mahal.
