Jeff Hardy told “Stone Cold” Steve Austin on The Broken Skull Sessions his actions at the 2011 TNA Victory Road PPV event where he went into a match with Sting for the World Title while under the influence was shameful for him. 

“[Soma] hadn’t become a controlled substance yet,” Hardy explained. “So I was still taking the Somas. But I do remember talking to Sting before I got too altered to even…walk out there, hardly. We were gonna do this spot with his finish – the [Scorpion Death Drop] – but my head was gonna be in a chair. And I remember being scared of that. Oh, I might really hurt my neck doing that but it’s gonna be awesome if I don’t. So yeah, I just took too much.

“By the time it was time for me to go out there, they [had to find me],” Hardy continued. “[Former TNA Executive Producer] Eric Bischoff came out there. They had to shut it down. He had to take it home real quick and that was the right thing. They had to do it.”

“To screw up like I did that night, it was just insane,” Hardy said. “But one positive asset that I have by looking back at that footage is just – so embarrassing. So – oh my God – just shameful, you know? Out there with my hero in the main event. All these people are watching. But then to do that?”

Hardy noted that the incident helped him realize he had a problem and he got it together. 

“After that is when I really got it together,” Hardy recalled. “So flash forward to like 2012-2013, man. 2012 was one of the best wrestling years in my life in that company. I was on fire. I started doing the paint with the eyes and my creativity was just off the charts because I was completely sober and that’s when everything got really good.”
