Well, completely unintentional and he showed immediate concern. I'm not mad, bro.

To me, it looked more like Hunter was trying to avoid the tag, ended up in an awkward slide, and his legs unintentionally bounced up after he hit the ground. Which isn't really "coming in spikes high"

I wan't saying Hunter did it on purpose, thus the quotes around spikes high, but how else can you really explain it...

Agreed totally unintentional.
