Cops say during the stop, the 44-year-old wrestler "appeared to be in a stupor and confused."
UPDATE
Officers say when they finally got Hardy out of his vehicle, he reeked of booze, and, during field sobriety tests, displayed multiple signs of being impaired.

Cops also noted in the docs Hardy's license was suspended following his two previous convictions for driving under the influence. They also noted he "had a driving restriction which required him to have an interlock device in his vehicle," which they said his Charger did not have.
