10 WWE Stars Who No-Showed Events
These 10 WWE stars didn't turn up for work
9. Jeff Hardy
Rising through the ranks alongside brother Matt at the height of the Attitude Era, it was abundantly clear that Jeff Hardy was special.
Often compared to a young Shawn Michaels, the Charismatic Enigma threw caution to the wind night after night in his bid to steal every show he was on. Like the Heartbreak Kid, this sometimes reckless approach led to substance abuse issues and burnout.
WWE planned a significant push for the popular star after he went solo, as evidenced by the opportunities he routinely received as a singles performer on Raw in 2002. Less than a year after the split, however, the younger Hardy was released due to his refusal to attend rehab.
Developing a serious drug problem, Jeff was seemingly indifferent to his career prospects and prioritised his next fix over his next match. He showed up hours late if he showed up at all, and on several occasions, Jeff decided not to bother clocking in, which led to him being temporarily suspended from house shows and influenced the decision to let him go.
