10 Recent Times Wrestlers Went Too Far

Blurring the lines between storyline and reality can help take a burgeoning storyline to a whole new level when handled correctly.

However, there are still some topics that simply don't lend themselves to the despicable heel or jaw-dropping revelation promo, and that's something Christian Cage discovered the hard way during a July spell on the mic opposite Matt Hardy.

With the one-time BROKEN star's brother being absent from AEW programming on the back of being charged with his third DUI offence in ten years, Captain Charisma would fire the line of "you're starting to make your brother sound like the sober one" at his long-time rival.

The groans and sea of head shaking that followed from the those in attendance highlighted how tacky and cheap such a line felt so soon after Jeff's most recent arrest and a dangerous real-life incident that didn't need to be folded into an already personal Jungle Boy feud.

This wasn't the last time Cage opted to get a bit too carny for the sake of some cheap heat in recent times either, with the veteran also taking aim at Brian Pillman Jr's father on the stick.

Regardless of these controversial words no doubt being agreed on by all parties in the lead-up, some lines just aren't meant or even need to be crossed on a product designed to entertain.
