10 Dumb Reasons Why Wrestlers Had To Apologise To Other Wrestlers

6. Matt Hardy (Getting Choked Out)

This article is about to get another dose of 'Mattitude'.

In 2008, Hardy was on the road with WWE in Europe. Everyone was enjoying a night at the hotel bar when things started to get a little...jocular, at least according to Eve Torres on the MMA Hour in 2014. Ex-Diva Torres told the hosts that she choked Matt out that night, and did so in front of everyone watching.

The pair had been play fighting, and Eve accidentally got a black eye. Matt was apologetic, but Torres' embarrassment meant she saw red. So, she locked the inebriated Hardy in a rear-naked choke and held the submission until he was snoring. What a visual that must've been for everybody else.

WWE's roster teased Matt for getting choked out by a newbie backstage interviewer (which Eve was at the time). There was some mild heat on him for that, and he had to apologise to Torres again for his behaviour. Again, what a moment.
