And uh, I am really looking forward to this video as soon as I saw that he had dropped it I was like, oh man, I I got to check this out. This should definitely be entertaining interesting and uh, hey man, we love us some Jeff Hardy You know, we love us some Matt Hardy. I know they've they've been teasing him going to AEW So that could be a thing. You know, if it happens, I'm all for it See what happens in the future, but let's get right into this one, man Jeffrey Nero Hardy was born in Cameron, North Carolina in 1977 From a young age, Hardy had a love for action as he took part in extreme sports like football and motocross But it was wrestling that quickly captured his attention Jeff grew up watching WWE with his favorite wrestlers being the ultimate warrior, Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels Jeff's childhood sadly wasn't all good though He and his brother Matt lost their mother to brain cancer when Jeff was only nine years old Damn This didn't stop them from pursuing their passion though And the Hardy brothers began wrestling in their backyard and even held their own shows As they grew up, the Hardys learned more and more and started wrestling for small companies around their area Thanks to a combination of their hard work, some people they knew, a bit of luck and a little lying Jeff Hardy was given a huge opportunity WWE was hosting a show in Ohio and they needed an opponent for Razor Ramon Ramon's original opponent backed out on short notice and a 16-year-old Jeff Hardy was asked to pull it Hardy agreed but claimed he was 18 Under the impression that he was an adult WWE let Jeff Hardy compete leading to Hardy's first WWE match Wow, so he lied he lied to get into Get into his first WWE match, man. That's That's crazy, bro. That's that's when you know the passion is real You're willing to lie about your age because you know, this is an opportunity you may not get again So the passion is is real man. You could tell his love for wrestling hasn't died, man And I love to see you from Matt and Jeff actually in the main event of raw Jeff Hardy wrestling under the name Keith Davis took on future Hall of Famer Razor Ramon The match began with Razor kicking Hardy in the gut and backing him into the corner Ramon then whipped Hardy across the ring and while Jeff tried to make a comeback The charismatic enigma was no match for the bad guy's strength Razor Ramon then started stretching the young Hardy and wasn't taking the match too seriously Razor even lifted Jeff by his pants and started attacking him in the corner An elbow to the face sent Hardy back to the mat and the bad guy followed that up by slamming his opponent into the turnbuckle Jeff's lateless body was then hoisted up to the top and sent crashing down with a belly to back suplex Finally Ramon signaled for the Razor's edge and planted the 16 year old wrestler on the canvas and ended the match The backstory of how Jeff Hardy got put into this match is a lot more interesting than the match itself It was a squash which can be fun, but this is just dull There was a lot of time spent with Razor Ramon just taunting Jeff Hardy and it wasn't that interesting But imagine telling fans in 1924 that this Keith Davis guy would eventually become one most popular double wrestlers of all time There's no denying it Jeff Jeff and Matt the Hardys they they are the most popular Tag team in wrestling history and Jeff is one of the most popular wrestlers to not really be The main eventer like he should have been he had his run with the wwe championship But we all know Jeff is a he should have been more of a main eventer because the crowd has always loved him That's the crazy thing. He is always out of the Hardys out of the Hardy brothers Jeff has always been like a lot more of the fan favorite people love Matt But and Matt really started getting over with his uh with his delete gimmick, you know I'm saying his his broken gimmick that really Took him to new heights. You know I'm saying but We all know Jeff was a lot of people's fan favorites, man. He was anytime he came out the crowd cheered Anytime didn't matter if he had a championship or not the crowd cheered We got a little ways to go before that, however After his wwe debut Jeff Hardy would spend the next few years doing more of the same He was used as an enhancement talent when it was to more established stars Jeff's brother Matt was doing a very similar thing at the time as well It wouldn't be until 1996 that the Hardys would start tagging together in wwe They still lost most of the time and were used to make other people look good Finally after about five years both Jeff and Matt would be given a chance in 1999 The brothers were given a new look as well as a manager former free bird member. Hey, man Who remember the hardys look from this era with the dye hair the long hair, bro Who remember this is this is the era right here, man. This is the hardy boy essence right here This was just that fashion of punk rocker, bro Michael Hayes the hardys finally started to pick up some victories and began an iconic rivalry with a group called the brew Which consisted of edge christian and gang rail Things got even better when the hardys captured the tag team titles by defeating the acolytes in july 1999 While they dropped the belts back to brad shon for root work later It was an encouraging start eventually Jeff and matt got rid of michael hayes and joined forces with their former enemy gang rail and they started calling himself I ain't gonna lie to you Brute they used to scare me as kids gang rail they used to legitimately scare You pissed out of me, bro. I ain't gonna lie to you as a kid watching them rise up I don't know what's happening with my camera. Come on. Come on. There we go. All right. There we go. We're back As a kid watching them rise up through the fire with the blood and the faint. I used to be terrified of them But that That's how it worked. It worked. I'm like, bro. We got some real vampires out here wrestling The new brew it was a short-lived group though as the hardys had their eyes on someone else to guide their careers They soon engaged in a classic feud with edgy christian over the managerial services of terry reynolds The hardys came out on the winning side of that battle and continued dominating the tag team division now as terry by their side That was until she turned on jeff and matt and joined edgy christian It was probably for the best as this opened the door for lita to join the hardys and together they became known as Team extreme. Yeah by their side. The hardys continued to put on spectacular matches with stellar showings at summer slam 2000. Yep first ever tlc match and can we just say the first ever tlc match will be one of One of my favorite tag team matches of all time Seeing everything happen like that. You just as a kid. You're just like, oh my god This is insane loved it an all-time classic at wrestle mania 17. Yep in houston christian And the doubly boys during these brutal matches Jeff became increasingly known for his high-risk moves and fans loved him because of that After spending about two years teaming with his brother jeff was given a shot as a singles wrestler in 2001 He quickly became a fan favorite as well as a title holder when he defeated triple h for the intercontinental championship Unfortunately, though he lost it right back to the game just a few days later Which I I hate the 5050 booking and it was always with the uh, I guess you could say The talent that were you know, we're good at politicking in the back I I just 50 50 booking like that. It's it it destroys a person's momentum. I hate it I do hate that so much Luckily jeff hardy picked himself up and captured the hardcore title for mike awesome And bell wrapped in dam in a series of memorable matches During all of this jeff and matt were still a tag team But science of tension began to appear This caused them to fight each other at vengeance 2001 with lita as the guest referee Jeff picked up the win after hitting the swanton bomb But this storyline was poorly received by fans dibby ended up dropping it and team extreme was back together Unfortunately for the brothers their next opponent was the next big thing rock lesnar who had recently debuted Things didn't go so well for the two as rock dominated the majority of the feud Including beating them in a match where lesnar had paul hayman as his tag team partner After the storyline wrapped up it was time for the hardys to officially split Matt became part of the smackdown roster for matches on raw One of the defining moments of party's career though was when he took on the undertaker in a ladder this was i ain't gonna lie to you a fantastic moment for jeff and the fact that they had a fantastic match on raw and They were building up the story as could jeff be the one to take down the undertaker and take the championship from him and Even in defeat the undertaker still showing him like in character like yo, you you're a tough one, bro You're a tough son of a bitch man. Like that was a cool moment for jeff, man I remember watching that and I thought that was dope that was fantastic match jeff Even though he lost the crowd was behind him and even the undertaker had to show respect I thought that was cool for the debbie title jeff showed a ton of heart Yeah, close to capturing the championship Undertaker did retain his title, but jeff hardy has earned the dead man's respect in an all-time classic raw moment Things were looking pretty good for jeff, but in january 2003. We had see hardy become a bad guy He attacked rob and damage shon michaels But this run as a villain only lasted about a month before hardy was back to being a good guy again Sadly though in april 2003 jeff hardy was released from his debbie contract The reasons given were no showing events drug use and that jeff refused to go to rehab Hardy would spend the next few years competing on the independent scene and later joining an upstart wrestling company called tna Unfortunately controversy continued to follow jeff as he no shown a couple of tna events and was suspended and eventually released in 2006 While the tna door was shut the debbie's door was open once again and in august 2006 jeff hardy returned to the company He began feuding with the intercontinental champion johnny nitro and while things didn't work out at first Jeff did eventually defeat nitro and win the title this rivalry evolved into a tag team feud as an entry of his partner Joey mercury involved while hardy reunited with his brother matt The teams faced off several times between 2006 and 2007 with the hardys coming down on top in most of their matches No, they had a nice tag team feud. I believe uh, this was on smackdown or whatnot. Uh Smackdown had a nice tag team division around this time. I can't say now But back in smackdown had a pretty solid tactic Unfortunately, jeff hardy singles career would suffer as he lost the intercontinental title to amaga in february 2007 But things quickly turned around for jeff when he and matt defeated four other teams to become the world tag team champions Their main rivalry as champions was with lance kade and trevor murdoch The hardys defeated the two on a couple of occasions only to lose the titles to them on raw in june 2007 While the hardys were still together jeff hardy began to focus again on his singles career He reignited his rivalry with amaga who is still intercontinental champion This time hardy defeated the simone bulldozer and once again became ic champion But this is only the start of something bigger for jeff hardy He began being put in bigger matches and didn't crumble in the feed This earned him a number of contenders match for the wb title at the armageddon pay-per-view Jeff hardy's opponent was triple h and while the odds were not in jeff's favor He pulled off a big upset and defeated the game This is one of those scenes where seeing that happen was fantastic because you you can start seeing wwe Start is is going with jeff is trying to actually put him in that main event spotlight That we always wanted to see him in so it was cool for him to gain that momentum and uh Actually see it happen before your eyes This meant that jeff would face the wb champion randy orton at the tills and eight royal rumble for the title The viper decided to make it personal and brutally attacked matt hardy Sadly jeff hardy was unable to get his revenge and lost to orton at the rumble to make matters worse A couple of months later jeff hardy not only lost the intercontinental championship Would also be suspended for 60 days due to him feeling a drug test It seemed like jeff hardy's career had nosedive and it did but like a phoenix jeff came back Stronger than ever he always would find a way to come back He cares mac and nigma feud with his former rival rumaga and defeated him in an awesome false count anywhere That was a fantastic match Where he'd be a contender for the wb championship for the rest of 2008 hardy would try and try to win the title But came up short each and every time it seemed like jeff hardy was just never meant to be a world champion At the 2008 armageddon pay-per-view hardy got one more shot at the wb title He was part of a triple threat match involving the champion edge and triple h and then it finally happened jeff hit the swanton bomb got the one two three and one jeff that was a momentous occasion jr calling that match When he finally wanted crowd going crazy He was a fan favorite people They had been teasing it for so long. He's this close to getting in and he finally does Man, bro. I was like yo, this is This is it. This is what we wanted to see our childhood like Favorite Finally getting to the you know to the top of the mountain Achieving the wwe championship already have finally made it to the top and became wwe champion It was a fantastic moment and solidified jeff hardy as a top star Hardy's first tele offense was against the former champion edge at the tiles of nine royal rumble during the match Matt hardy came out to help his brother only for matt to shockingly betray jeff and cost him the title After many personal attacks jeff hardy finally agreed to fight his brother the hardys fought each other at wrestlemania 25 Where jeff hardy actually lost matt hardy would also defeat him in a structure match as well Finally jeff guys revenge at backlash went to feed matt in an i quit match with that rivalry behind them jeff was right back I ain't gonna lie to you. I did enjoy that few the that few that they had I was definitely enjoying it in the title scene on an episode of smackdown He defeated three other men to become the number one contender for edges world heavyweight championship The two long time rivals squared off at judgment day But interference from matt hardy cost jeff his golden opportunity jeff hardy thankfully got one more shot at extreme rules And finally picked up the big victory and became world heavyweight champion However, that was a that was a pretty cool moment until I mean it was all of it was entertaining But it was a cool book because oh man. He he he got another championship another big championship All right, this is this is awesome, man This is this is what we want to see and then for this tellerane was very short Yeah CM punk used his money in the bank contract and defeated jeff to win the world title Yeah, as you've learned jeff hardy is resilient and hardy picked himself up and defeated CM punk at night of champions to Win back the gold for what I which was once again, it's like I upset this earlier the the 50 50 booking man Because like you have him win you have him lose and I get it because of the the money in the bank stipulation to have him win To once again have him lose right back and like like he never really had like a stable Title reign something that we can truly remember we remember when he won it But we don't really have that that lifty title rate that I think jeff ultimately deserved whatever reason Jeff hardy world championships do not mix and at the next pay-per-view summer slam CM punk defeated hardy and jeff lost the belt again Hardy got his rematch on the falling episode of smackdown in a steel cage match The fight had special stipulation that the loser would leave deb de b in a heartbreaking moment jeff lost the match It was forced to say goodbye in real life The reason for this was to give hardy time off to heal his body However, like in the storyline jeff hardy really did not have a contract with deb de b This resulted in hardy returning to tna in 2010 for seven years jeff is one of the top stars in the company winning their world title on three different occasions And often being featured in major storyline Which is one of those things where it's like they could have did that at wwe But they chose that too and also he was dealing with a lot of stuff personally As well. So it was just it was a combination of him dealing with the things he was dealing with personally and wwe Like giving what the fans wanted, but just enough to take it away kind of Of course It wasn't all highlights for the charismatic enigma as he continued about drug and alcohol issues and Implemously ruined the main event of victory road 2011 tna didn't give up on him though and jeff eventually re-enamed with his brother and later feuded with them when matt became Broke of matt hardy both jeff and matt's tna contracts eventually expired in early 2017 Just like the last time wwe welcomed jeff and his brother back and they made a surprise return at wrestle mania 33 Which was a Fantastic return crowd went crazy. I went crazy. I thought it was so cool They competed against three other teams for the raw tag team championship It was also a ladder match. So the hardys were legally required to win jeff and matt continued to ride the momentum for the next few months Defending and retain their titles on several occasions However, all championship reigns come to an end and at extreme rules. So did the hardys afterward jeff hardy would explore his singles career and even became the number one contender for the intercontinental championship But was unsuccessful in his title match Sadly jeff hardy would suffer a shoulder injury and needed several months off to recover The charismatic enigma finally returned in april 2018 and soon defeated the united states champion gender behal and won the title Hardy had a solid run at the belt holding it for exactly 90 days He lost the u.s championship to shinsuke nakamura and to throw salt into the wound randy yorton came out afterward and low bloat hardy the viper and the charismatic enigma But feud for the next couple of months. They had a nice feud too. I was enjoying that. I'm not gonna lie Well, hardy he had some good feuds. It's just You I don't know. It's like wwe Ah, man, I can't really put my finger right. I think The consensus of this entire video for me is just how wwe would push Then de push push de push and some of it it falls on wwe's creative Some of it does fall on jeff hardy himself But that's always that's his consensus of his career always a fan favorite throughout his entire career Always a fan favorite always got a good pop But the push and de push every time he's the one person I could say That no matter how many times he's gotten de pushed Fans still loved him as if he was the top guy That's hard to really do because if nine times if they de push you that can ruin your momentum ruin your interaction with crowds because People tend to not care, but they've always cared about jeff. That's the one thing I can say Ultimately leading to a hell of a cell match that jeff hardy lost The next few months would be pretty uneventful for jeff He'd compete in big matches like the world cup tournament the royal rumble and the elimination chamber, but didn't win any of them However in february 2019 matt hardy made his wwe return and reunited with jeff Then in april the hardy brothers defeated the usos to win the smackdown tai team championship As we know however jeff hardy has the worst luck with title reigns 21 days after winning the tai team belts the hardys had to vacate them due to jeff getting injured It would be almost an entire year before fans saw jeff hardy again In march 2020 jeff made his return on smackdown, but unfortunately the pandemic era had just begun Things got back on track when hardy began a feud with shameless It started when the Celtic warrior mocks jeff for his history of addiction Which was actually not bad. It was a that was a highlight segment Of the pandemic era a nice little feud they had problems This ultimately led to ironically a bar fight which jeff hardy won Hardy's next feud was with the intercontinental champion aj styles after jeff issued a challenge to aj A week later jeff hardy beat styles and was once again ic champion jeff would rather ironically lose the belt in a ladder match Involving aj styles and sammy zane soon after jeff hardy would be sent to raw as part of the 2020 draft He began a feud with alias that ran through the rest of the year that hardy more or less won In 2021 while jeff was still popular fans He began losing quite a bit. It was mainly used to put over newer stars Like damian priest and carrion cross ironically This is exactly what jeff hardy was doing as a teenager Even though that first match he did beat carrion cross, which it was like, uh, if you're gonna have him as the guy to put Over people I don't know why you haven't beat carrion cross on his first time coming up into that raw, but that's needed Or there in the mid nineties in october jeff got a new start when he's moved over to smackdown Things started out pretty good for jeff hardy as he won his first two matches on the brand And was part of team smackdown at survivor series everything seemed to be going fine But little did we know that jeff hardy was about to leave wb. Yep Yep, man. I ain't gonna lie to you. I was hoping they were gonna give uh, jeff The win there he that he was the crowd favorite at survivor series I was hoping they was gonna do it, but they didn't do it On the november 26 2021 episode of smackdown jeff hardy would compete in his final two wb matches The first match of the night was a tag team contest which saw hardy and drew mac and tear to beat happy corbin and madcap moss The charismatic enigma even got the pin for his team Later that night an 18 man battle royal was set up with the winner becoming the number one contender for the universal championship Jeff hardy was one of the participants and not even he knew that this would be his last wb match Before the battle royal actually got started jeff's former tag team partner drew mac and tear ran into the ring with his sword Luckily all that took was a commercial break and when we came back mac and tear was gone Now that the battle royal was underway jeff hardy's first target was madcap moss Jeff who had changed his attire and gotten rid of his face paint tried to eliminate moss But got attacked from behind by rich holland hardy then formed an alliance of man sore But holland overpowered both of them after recovering jeff saw an opportunity and took it and made the first elimination By pushing jenema hall out of the ring There was no rest for jeff as shanky started shoving his massive boot into hardy's throat The charismatic enigma stayed close to the ground until he found an opportunity to get back at shanky jeff wasn't able to do much damage though as madcap moss returned and began attacking hardy moss even tried to eliminate jeff But thanks to the chaos jeff hardy was able to get away hardy then laid low for a bit But when he got to his feet his old rival shamus went after him in a moment of pure luck The Celtic warrior abruptly left jeff hardy and focused his attention on someone else Jeff hardy went back to the ground and it became clear that he was hurt likely due to having wrestled already However, after returning from a commercial break jeff hardy was not only on his feet, but he was inches away from eliminating shamus Unfortunately, the Celtic warrior got the better of jeff and hardy fell back onto the mat Unfortunately happy corbin saw that jeff was wounded and decided to try to eliminate him Even though he was hurt jeff managed to stun corbin just long enough to get back inside the ring hardy tried to go on the offensive and take out ricochet But that didn't go too well with the battle royale coming to an end the action started getting more intense But jeff hardy couldn't do much realizing that it was due or died jeff hardy had a burst of adrenaline and ambushed happy corbin and i got lied to you I definitely would have went with jeff hardy being the person to potentially go for the universal championship because it's jeff hardy man. He's a fan favorite. He's a fan favorite and I know, you know, of course, we wouldn't believe that he would win obviously But I think it would have been a very interesting match That's just my personal opinion and shamus hardy hit shamus with a whisper in the wind and corbin with a twist of fate Corbin then suddenly pulled a fast one and eliminated shamus Which allowed jeff to eliminate happy and it appeared he won the battle royale as jeff hardy was celebrating sammy zane Who hadn't been eliminated ran in and not jeff out of the ring Kind of a disappointing way to end the match. Yeah, considering the way the storyline went with sammy zane I think it worked fine talking about jeff hardy's last match, though It made sense that hardy didn't do much considering he had already wrestled But I think it would have been better if he played a more active role The way the match was played out jeff hardy just felt like another body in the ring It was honestly surprised that he lasted till the very end The commentators didn't even acknowledge when jeff hardy eliminated jindy brawl Which only add to this feeling that hardy wasn't really a big part of the battle royale At the very least it was cool that jeff hardy had his last match in front of his home state of north carolina About a week after his match on smackdown jeff hardy would wrestle at an on televised wb event in texas Before I go on. I know what you're thinking. Wouldn't this be jeff hardy's last match fair point But on bell to bell We only look at wrestlers matches on tv with that cleared up Hardy was wrestling a surround three tag team match at the texas show in a very bizarre moment Jeff hardy just randomly left the ring and started walking through the crowd This wasn't part of the show and it made people wonder if hardy was under the influence So far there hasn't been anything to suggest that jeff was but there still isn't any explanation why he up and left the match Either way wb sent jeff hardy home following the incident and shortly thereafter they would release him from his contract As of right now jeff hardy is under a no compete clause which will expire in march 2022 While we wait for that check out the first and last matches of the man who puts the high at high Hey, man, I ain't gonna lie to you. This video was dope Hey, uh I love me some jeff hardy man when it comes to what he's done for the business He's been wrestling since he was a teen. You know what I'm saying? Like this is something that he knew This is what he wants to do for a living and he's been doing it for so long at a at a high level too He's had his problems. He had his issues like anybody else would But the fact that he's always been able to overcome it and come back strong Is a testament to his will and his passion and love for wrestling So I know mad hardy has been teasing some things about, you know, him coming to aw if anything I wouldn't have a problem with it one more one more go at it in aw with them You know as a tag team one more time and maybe they can definitely put over some younger tag team talent as well I would love to see him in aw and I think it will happen Once his uh his non-compete clause ends Yeah, I think that's gonna be a beautiful moment to see the hardy boys One more time one more run But this time in aw I think that would be pretty cool. So comment down below Let me know man If you guys enjoyed this video, if you want me to check out some more of his bell to bell series I see you got one with rvd. I may have to check that one out.
