10 Craziest Wrestling Moments That Ever Happened Live

5. The Intoxicated Enigma

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V6ulxTRSDc This was one of the weirdest live performances many fans had ever seen. TNA€™s Victory Road pay-per-view, 13th March 2011, saw the main event feature Sting versus Jeff Hardy for the world heavyweight championship Hardy lost a week or so before. It was pretty obvious something was wrong with Hardy in the first thirty seconds as he lurched out of the dry ice by the entrance, seeming to stagger through treacle to get to the ring, miming exaggeratedly at the cameras. He€™s never had the most expressive eyes or face, but here even under make-up he seemed glazed over. After Sting had arrived in the ring, Eric Bischoff also came out, ostensibly to change the stipulation to no-disqualification, heel it up to the champ and get pie-faced for his trouble. In reality, he€™d called an audible: as both an on-air heel authority figure and a legit executive producer for TNA, he had the authority to change the match in both storyline and real life. Sting would quickly pin Hardy after a kick to the gut, a couple of punches and a Scorpion Death Drop. The match lasted less than ninety seconds. On his way out, with the crowd vociferous in their displeasure at this main event match, Sting called out €œI agree! I agree!€ In later interviews, Sting would express reserved encouragement for Hardy resolving his issues with drugs, and his disappointment with the outcome that night, claiming that the match that had been laid out was great, but that Hardy€™s condition had deteriorated throughout the day and left them with no choice. Although the paying audience for the show may disagree, it€™s certainly one of the most compelling stories to come out of TNA in recent years, and it€™s not often that you€™ll get to see a main event rewritten on the fly like that.
