10 Most Innovative High Flying Wrestlers

7. Jeff Hardy

It wasn't always easy to stand out during the Monday Night Wars. At a time when the greatest wrestling talent was receiving more television exposure than ever, it took performers that were willing to go above and beyond to truly make their mark. Jeff Hardy realized this and figured out that if he was going to make a name for himself, it would be through his seemingly complete lack of fear. From top ladder dives to his always risky Swanton Bomb finisher, Jeff Hardy constantly found new ways to better both himself and the efforts of just about everyone else on the roster. While his charismatic nature certainly helped him to get over, the first time that you saw what the kid was willing to put himself through in a match it became almost impossible to not root for him. The risky efforts of Jeff Hardy helped to create a tag team renaissance in the WWE and inspired wrestlers like The Young Bucks to make a name for themselves through a willingness to go over the top.
