20 More WWE Stars And Their Video Game Counterparts
9. Jeff Hardy/Vaas Montenegro (Far Cry 3)
Supposedly the secondary antagonist in Far Cry 3, Vaas Montenegro actually appears more than the real bad guy. Hes heavily featured in the promotional material for the game, making him the prominent facing character. Reckless and mentally unstable, this drug-addled maniac is a true charismatic enigma: his psychosis makes him unpredictable, charming as well as violent. Over and above the simple physical resemblance, Jeff Hardy has made a career from overachieving, becoming one of the go-to guys in both WWE and TNA through his compelling performances alone, touching a nerve with fans despite his lack of size or conventional mic skills. He was also a recidivist junkie for much of this period. Now, Im not saying he was a murderous drug-addled pirate during his lost years but during that time, its pretty apparent that he was uncontrollable and unreliable in the extreme. Had he not spent the best years of his career as a liability, its certainly possible that Hardy would remain one of the top babyfaces in WWE today.
