10 Secret Wrestling Messages You Could Hear

For Eric Bischoff, Sting and referee Brian Hebner, they were in the unenviable position of having to deal with a mashed Jeff Hardy at TNA Victory Road 2011.

Infamously, Hardy turned up for his main event bout against the Stinger completely wasted from a day of taking whatever. It was clear for all to see that the Charismatic Enigma was in absolutely no state to perform, and that forced Bischoff to make his way to the ring and improvise.

Cutting a jumbled promo on the fly in order to buy himself some time, Bisch eventually goes over and has an off-mic chat with Hardy. If you turn up the volume, you can hear the former WCW Senior Vice President state to Jeff, "Take his finish".

A similar exchange took place between Bischoff and Sting - this time it was, "Hit him with your finish" - and this mockery of a match consisted of Hardy teasing throwing his shirt to the crowd, Sting backing him into a corner, then finally landing the Scorpion Death Drop for the 1-2-3.

One other snippet that wrestling fans also got to hear, was Sting saying "I agree" when the Impact Zone started to fill with chants of bulls**t.
