Jeff Hardy Hit and Run: WWE Fakes an Accident

WWE Wrestler Jeff Hardy is alleged to have been involved in a hit and run accident this morning (Friday), but before you get sucked in, it’s yet another fake angle to televised wrestling.

According to the WWE: “Jeff Hardy and his girlfriend Beth were involved in a hit and run automobile accident earlier this morning in North Carolina. Both Jeff and Beth were injured during the accident, but no ambulance was called to the scene.”

The alleged hit and run included “exclusive video footage from the police cruiser on the scene, as well as an exclusive interview with Jeff Hardy.” To juice the story up some more, rival boxer Christian was implied to have been driving the car that left the scene.

One small problem though: the footage aired in most overseas markets last night, before the supposed accident took place.

The darkness in the footage seems to have been computer generated to imply it came from a real cruiser, but compare it to footage from real accidents, and you’ll see the difference, the sound is also very clear compared to what you’d expect. Also there’s nothing on Google about a CAPD in North Carolina, but we can’t be 100% certain.
