Jeff Hardy delivered another death-defying stunt at Hell in a Cell this past Sunday and while his wrestling career may be nearing its end, he still has plenty of gas left in the tank and is currently rocking a pretty unique look on SmackDown Live thanks to his face paint. Now, the former United States Champion has shed some light on who exactly ended up inspiring his unique appearance each week.
"I was a combination of Sting and the Ultimate Warrior," Hardy revealed in a recent interview. "Sting at the time was in NWA, or when it became WCW, and the Warrior was in WWE. The Warrior was crazy but Sting’s would be different every night when he was the blonde haired Sting, and that’s what I loved about him I was like ‘How does he come up with these ideas?’
"And I saw him one night in Fayetteville, North Carolina and the music came on and I reached out and touched him on the shoulder and I’ll never forget feeling… like I want to make somebody feel like he made me feel. Here I am, hopefully, having the same influence on young, up-and-coming, wannabe wrestlers." That's a pretty cool story when you think about it!
