10 Wrestlers Who Prepared For Matches In The Worst Possible Way

10. Jeff Hardy Gets In A Bad Way

Those who tuned into Victory Road live back in 2011 were met with one of the most unsettling and uncomfortable sights witnessed in a wrestling ring up until that point.

Jeff Hardy, clearly under the influence from the moment he arrived on the ramp, stumbled to the ring en-route to challenging Sting for his TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Eric Bischoff would then rush down before the match got underway, not-so-subtly altering the plans for the encounter before 'The Icon' called it a night early with a Scorpion Death Drop and a forced pin on 'The Charismatic Enigma'.

Hardy was clearly in a bad way coming into the PPV and, despite reportedly seeming fine for the majority of the day of Victory Road, he needed help. So, TNA sent the star home and wrote him off TV after the incident, with Hardy soon entering into a 120-day outpatient rehab.

Despite still dealing with his demons from time to time, Hardy has thankfully never hit what he classed as "rock bottom" again like he did at Victory Road 2011.
