5 backstage stories about Jeff Hardy you wouldn’t believe

#2. Jeff Hardy claimed a snake ate his phone after he missed a flight

Jeff Hardy enjoyed a rather good career in TNA (IMPACT Wrestling). The three-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion proved to be more than just a tag team wrestler by outperforming his opponents.

Backstage, Jeff had some problems that made it difficult for IMPACT Wrestling to control him. There were a few stories about Jeff Hardy arriving very late for matches and events.

However, on one occasion, Jeff missed a flight and arrived late for a live event claiming a snake had eaten his phone. Not much is known about the snake, but Bill Behrens spoke about how Jeff Hardy always kept him on his toes by being late:

"He missed the plane because a snake ate his phone. I had to get in touch with him and tell him, 'Jeff, that’s silly, you know how to reach me.' We inevitably came to an agreement, Jeff and I, and it held for the remainder of his time there until inevitably he left and that was that."

Jeff Hardy worked on himself and became more punctual as time progressed. His hard work helped him become one of the most recognizable wrestlers in IMPACT Wrestling and WWE.
