Two Things: Superstars Missed at WWE

Today on Two Things, we are discussing two superstars we as fans of the WWE miss and would really love to see back in a WWE ring at some point in time.

Some of you may agree with us and some of you may not but these are the two former WWE Superstars we miss and want back.

Please keep in mind that these are two superstars who are still medically cleared to wrestle and are still wrestling.

Jeff Hardy


Jeff Hardy dared the WWE Universe to dream big. Going from a scrawny teenager to one of the most popular WWE Champions in history, “The Charismatic Enigma” showed that anything was possible when you took a risk.

He and his brother Matt began competing for WWE as teenagers, bravely stepping into the squared circle to take on Superstars like Razor Ramon and King Kong Bundy. Though Jeff often was the recipient of beatings that made the WWE Universe cringe, his refusal to give up on his dream of becoming a WWE Champion got him noticed by officials.

The Hardy Boyz became full-time WWE competitors in 1998, when their high-flying offense and plaid tights made them stand out in the eyes of the WWE Universe. Still, the brothers had difficulty stringing a few wins together to move up the tag team ladder. It turned out that all they needed was a little guidance. Freebird Michael Hayes took the youngsters under his wing, gave them a new look and led them to the World Tag Team Championships.

Jeff’s daredevil tendencies helped him break out from the pack. He first introduced awestruck fans to his willingness to climb higher during a Ladder Match at No Mercy 1999, teaming with his brother against Edge & Christian. The four Superstars risked their careers in the dangerous bout, and came out bigger stars than they could have imagined.

Jeff and Matt went on to revolutionize sports-entertainment, along with Edge & Christian and The Dudley Boyz in the breathtaking series of Tables, Ladders & Chairs Matches. No height was too far out of reach when the World Tag Team Titles were on the line. The Hardy Boyz ended up capturing those championships on six different occasions.

Eventually, Jeff went solo. His unique personality, along with the glowing body paint he doused himself in, earned him the nickname The Charismatic Enigma. Hardy proved to be just as successful in singles action as he was in the tag ranks, capturing the Intercontinental Title on multiple occasions, in addition to the Hardcore, European and Light Heavyweight Championships.

When The Charismatic Enigma set his sights on the WWE Championship, doubts began to arise. He was unable to wrest the title away from Triple H and Randy Orton, leaving many wondering if he could reach the top of the mountain. He erased any suspicions at Armageddon 2008, when he defeated The Game and Edge in a Triple Threat Match to finally capture sports-entertainment’s richest prize.

Hardy wasn’t done there, though. He also won the World Heavyweight Title on two occasions before he was forced to leave WWE as a result of a Steel Cage Match loss to CM Punk in August 2009.

Though he hasn’t been seen in a WWE ring since then, Jeff Hardy’s fans remain among the most passionate in WWE history, making sure his legacy as a Superstar who lived for the moment will never be forgotten.

John Morrison

As his theme music reminds us, John Morrison “ain’t no make believe.” However, his lightning-fast offense and high-risk aerial expertise often made the WWE Universe wonder if their eyes were playing tricks on them every time he entered the ring.

Hailing from sunny Los Angeles, Calif., The Guru of Greatness exuded Hollywood flash, from his colorful entrances to his attention-grabbing ring attire. But there was more to Morrison than his unique fashion sense and penchant for pyrotechnics.

Schooled in the French discipline of parkour, which emphasizes freedom of movement, Morrison succeeded in just about any environment imaginable, performing athletic feats previously unseen in WWE. His rigorous training regimen and incredible agility earned this exciting Superstar a wholly appropriate nickname: The Prince of Parkour.

Alongside his former friend and tag team partner The Miz, Morrison began turning heads on the WWE.com exclusive show "The Dirt Sheet," which not only produced some of the funniest moments in the history of the site, but also helped to make him a Slammy Award winner. But The Shaman of Sexy’s accolades don’t end there: His accomplishments include ECW, Intercontinental and WWE Tag Team Championship reigns.
