5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 2011

1. Sting vs. Jeff Hardy – Victory Road 2011

This is what happens when wrestlers’ personal demons aren’t kept in check. Jeff Hardy’s substance abuse history has long been known in wrestling, but it reached its nadir at Victory Road 2011.

It isn’t clear which ‘substance’ he was abusing, but what is clear was that he was barely capable of making it to the ring. Having any sort of wrestling match was out of the question.

This led to a completely unscripted change that caused the entire ‘match’ to last just over a minute. All Sting did was hit his Scorpion Death Drop and legitimately pinned Hardy to keep him from getting up.

It was an embarrassment of a match, and everyone knew it (well, perhaps not Jeff Hardy). Sting even yelled ‘I agree’ when a fan yelled ‘Bullsh*t’ after the match had ended. When a wrestler agrees with fan booing something, you know you’ve messed up royally.

How Jeff Hardy was even able to keep his job in TNA, much less keep wrestling in general after this fiasco, remains a mystery.
