10 Wrestling Stories That Blurred Reality

10. Jeff Hardy's Redemption (2020)

Jeff Hardy f*cked up with drugs and alcohol, knows it and craves one final chance to make things right and end his wrestling career on the best possible terms. That's the story WWE are telling in 2020 with their very own 'Charismatic Enigma', and it marries gritty realism with personal strife.

At the same time, Hardy is fighting off bullies like Sheamus and working his balls off to become Intercontinental Champion. That's where the blurred lines come in; Jeff's first singles title was the IC belt, and he's told WWE cameras he'd love nothing more than to win it again and redeem himself.

Have some pro wrestling razzle dazzle with your scoop of reality.

The truth is that Jeff did make an arse of things, and he has done several times throughout his otherwise glittering career. WWE's decision to use real-life controversy and personal demons won't sit well with everyone on social media, but it has given Hardy quite the comeback story.
