One of WWE’s most beloved wrestlers and the master of the Swanton Bomb makes it to Number 4 on the list.

Jeff Hardy is most well known for being in a tag team with his brother Matt Hardy. The Hardy Boyz, as they are famously known, won many championships all around the world, and are arguably one of the best tag teams in wrestling history.

Apart from enjoying success with his brother, Jeff won the World Heavyweight Championship on two occasions.

At Extreme Rules 2009, he defeated CM Punk in a Ladder Match to win his first championship. The feud between the two men is also one of the most memorable and best feuds of the last decade.

He lost the championship to Punk soon after, but once again beat the same man to win the championship for the second time at Night of Champions.

Hardy was often called the "Charismatic Enigma" for his inspirational work in the ring, like the time he stood up to challenge The Undertaker for more punishment after losing an intense match to him.
