Wrestler's flight plans smacked down

CHRIS ECHEGARAY • Staff Writer • September 18, 2008

WWE Wrestler Jeff Hardy was denied boarding a Southwest Airline flight to North Carolina – and no one got body slammed.

Hardy appeared intoxicated at Nashville International Airport's Southwest gate on Wednesday, according to Southwest spokesman Chris Mainz.

A Southwest employee reported it and Hardy was told he couldn’t board the flight, Mainz says.

Hardy was not arrested instead the wrestler was offered to take a later flight.

“He was very cooperative and there was no altercation,” Mainz says. “There was no need to get police.”

Hardy declined Southwest’s offer and made other arrangements, Mainz says.

The 6-1, 225-pound Cameron, N.C., native was part of the WWE SmackDown show at the Sommet Center on Tuesday night.

Hardy is a top contender and a WWE draw.
