5 most controversial backstage moments in TNA history

These letters should stand for ‘totally nonsensical’ and ‘asinine’

#1 Jeff Hardy gets intoxicated at Victory Road 2011

This was the lowest point of Jeff Hardy’s wrestling career, and arguably the worst moment in TNA history. Jeff Hardy entered for a wrestling match completely intoxicated (on what, nobody knows), and was in no shape to wrestle.

It was so bad that a main event match between Hardy and Sting was cut to 90 seconds, and when one fan yelled ‘bulls**t’, Sting screamed ‘I AGREE’ very noticeably. The biggest mystery here is that TNA’s backstage personnel somehow managed to let Hardy wrestle despite not being cleared to do so.

Nobody stopped him from engaging in his ‘hobbies’ and let him wrestle. This moment was so bad that TNA offered its fans six months of free access to their own on-demand service, while Hardy had to go to rehab. The event was heavily criticised and rightfully so.

TNA failed to check on the well-being of their wrestlers and didn’t do enough to interfere with Hardy’s personal issues. This made them look like either enablers of his habit or apathetic to it because of his star power and drawing capabilities.
