10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Jeff Hardy

7. He Was Removed From Flight In 2008 For Being Too Drunk

Jeff earned some negative press in September 2008 when he was kicked off a plane in Nashville that was going to take him home to North Carolina. A few weeks after the incident, he talked about it in an interview with the Baltimore Sun: "That was extremely blown out of proportion. So many wrestlers drink at times, and I had been drinking a lot that night. I€™m not going to lie €” I€™ve been on planes a lot drunker than that. There was nothing rude done; I wasn€™t violent or anything like that. I guess I was stumbling boarding the plane or something, and somebody must have just said that I was drunk, because I was asleep on the plane. This is Southwest, you know, open seating and everything. The first thing I remember is just waking up and security €” it wasn€™t police, it was security €” saying, 'Mr. Hardy, you have to get off the plane. We feel you€™ve had too much to drink.' Matt got up and was like, 'What€™s the problem?' They were like, 'He€™s had too much to drink.' I go, 'I was asleep. I€™ll wake up in Raleigh. I€™ve been like this before.' But I just cooperated and left the plane." He wasn't suspended by WWE. If he was fined, it was never reported. Most likely they just told him to not let it happen again. Since WWE doesn't want their wrestlers doing anything to cause a scene, it's something they want us to forget.
