5 WWE Superstars who weren't 'Vince's guys' but got pushed anyway

Vince McMahon has been known to have a particular type of wrestler he generally favors.

Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy’s unique style helped him connect with younger fans.

Jeff Hardy looked more like a punk rocker than a professional wrestler, and that was before his even more extreme TNA days. With his smaller stature, brightly-colored hair and non-traditional wrestling gear, Hardy looked nothing like the powerhouses like Hulk Hogan and The Rock.

Yet Hardy and his brother, Matt, were willing to do things that others weren’t to entertain the crowd, like leaping off ladders and other structures on the company’s biggest stages. As a result, Hardy got the opportunity to duel with the Undertaker and even won WWE’s top titles.
