WWE: 10 Attitude Era Superstars Who Could Still Make An Impact Today

7. Jeff Hardy

Now we get into the guys who are far from likely to show up in a WWE ring anytime soon, but could make a hell of an impact if they did. Regardless of what you think of Jeff Hardy, he's always had his following. His return to WWE after his first stint in TNA brought Hardy into the singles spotlight moreso than his initial WWE run. A 2014 return for Jeff Hardy could be a mixed bag. It's all but a given that there won't be a Hardys reunion given Matt's troubles, so it would definitely be a solo venture. Jeff could definitely make an immediate impact €“ of all the potentially available wrestlers who haven't been in a WWE ring in several years, he's near the top of the list. Hardy could plug into matches across the top of the card, but would that be a wise move? With Jeff's history of problems (which have continued into his second tour with TNA), how far up the card would WWE push him? If the answer is "not that high," would Jeff even return to be glorified enhancement talent? One thing is for sure: If Jeff Hardy successfully returns to WWE, he'd be the closest thing to a modern-day territorial star, jumping from one territory to another, returning occasionally as a conquering hero.
