8 Wrestlers Who DESTROYED Their Own Aura
3. Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy is a particularly fortunate domesticated cat.
He has nine lives, is beloved despite his persistent wrongdoings, and knows that no matter which path he walks in life, there will be a defiant defender on the Internet to vouch for why he deserves a tenth life. Jeff could, like said feline, take a massive dump in the corner of the locker room, have it land in the backpack of a Make-A-Wish child, and there would still be a Twitter user defending why that child should consider themselves blessed to have a Jeff Hardy-produced dump.
Even in 2011, at his worst, Jeff Hardy had supporters.
At that year's Destination X, Hardy was to challenge Sting for the TNA World Heavyweight Title in the main event. Instead of wrestling to the best of his ability, though, Jeff Hardy shot up before the match with a yet-to-be-identified substance, staggered out of the entranceway after a delayed response to his entrance music hitting, ooed and ahhed with throwing his t-shirt into the crowd, was shoot-pinned after around ninety seconds, and was sent home for six months, where he enlisted in a 120-day rehabilitation programme.
Not two years earlier, Jeff Hardy could have been the next John Cena.
What happened to that Jeff?
