I'm not one to rip on someone for one mistake, but... *Iraq Spoilers*

How many? It's much easier to find a video of a Swanton performed correctly than one that's terribly botched. Find me videos of ones that are botched, since it is so hard to do.

I still maintain that the Swanton would be one of the easier top rope moves to hit. Jeff Hardy is what, a little under 6'0? That's about the distance he had to somewhat connect with the move. For Jeff to completely miss? I dunno, it doesn't seem right to me. As KK said, shit like this happens. Cena fucked up a hip toss, Chavo got injured off an arm drag, but still...you're making the Swanton sound like a Phoenix Splash. It's not, it's a front flip. And Xero is right, given his reputation, it's not like Jeff Hardy is Paul London botching the London Calling for the first time. As I said, I'm not trying to ride Jeff Hardy into the ground, I'm just saying...Jeff Hardy is not the guy to make one mistake. He's a builder of them.

Originally, I thought Carlito may have had something to do with the spot, because he is disgruntled and all that, but the way it is written kind of eliminates that possibility, at least as a likely scenario. If Carlito rolled out of the way, it wouldn't have been "hilarious." To me, it sounds like Jeff overjumped, or underjumped, or just fucked up in general. I can't really imagine how he did it, but it probably happened.

Also, Vince interrupting would not have been as likely if Carlito had rolled out of the way. He might not have been aware it was supposed to be the finish, or he might have given more time for them to re-work the spot, so that the company isn't embarrassed in front the troops. Jeff Hardy fucking up makes the most sense in the way Vince gets pissed off and gives Jeff another take.

There isn't anything else I've seen going around about this, so I'd say Jeff is safe and clear.
