Been a fan of Jeff Hardy since 2000. So happy to see him doing well.

[@budsteppin99]

totally agree! I can say I've watched him since his wwf debut and loved watching every match he's been in including the bad ones...(tna)... but I'm 31 lol idk u may be a bit younger tbh hahaha

[@EpicStarSigns]

[@15dmoney15]

This aged like fine milk

[@tamenrayy]

It's crazy to put in perspective how much impact Jeff has had on all of us. He was never The Rock or Stone Cold and was in a deep line up of talent for years and years but he's so many peoples favorite wrestler of all walks of life and ages. I love Jeff and think he's an absolute legend. I'm 29 now and still remember giving swaton bombs on the trampoline at 13. Awesome guy.

[@GyroLamb]

He excelled despite a stacked roster because there was no one else like him on the show. He looked different, wrestled different, and nobody was quite like him anywhere he went. He was exciting to watch, never knew what he'd do. And you never knew what he'd be wearing either, I don't think I'm alone in saying I really liked his outfits, he changed every match, never looked the same for any match he was in always different. Always fresh. This really helped him stand out imo.

[@Algoth_Igneous]

WWE: Don't try this at home Those of us with trampolines as a kid: *hits younger sibling with everything from the stunner to the swanton bomb*

[@IAM_LaniDiamond]

Jeff Hardy is forever an icon and future hall of famer, he's one of the reason why i love watching TLC's and ladder matches he's always doing death defying Swanton bombs I'm forever a hardy Fan. #JeffHardy

[@samuelstevens248]

For those younger people who caught his career in the late 00's, he actually was in WWE before the rock, stone cold and triple h, he spent from 1994-1998 as a jobber. Has a view TV appearance in the mid 90s to. Firs time I really remember them was because of Kane's first match on raw in 1997 was against the jobber team of that time the hardyz. Also remember that first tag ladder match in WWE history with edge and Christian in 1999, that was such a unique match style for the time.

[@louisbatchelor5546]

No Helmsley was there. Steve Austin spent a decade in WCW before then, but yes, Rocky didn't get there until Survivor Series 96.

[@TheeGoat_]

@@louisbatchelor5546 no Helmsley didn’t debut until 1995

[@themagnificentwhiskerbiscuit]

Jeff got the chance all of us only dreamed of back then at the age of 16, to be in a WWF match on national television and then, a year or two later make a cameo appearance on the hottest show at that time, That 70's Show! He is so great, even now with his ever growing fan base and it just goes to show he is simply a one of a kind soul that can't be replicated nor duplicated! And most of that us witnessed that in real time, we will never for get and the new fans will never understand nor get!😄

[@VinexAesthetics]

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe he had his first match against Razor Ramon at the age of 16

[@samuelstevens248]

Yes his first match was in May 1994 against Razor, apparently Randy Savage said on commentary "welcome to the big time kid". I'm assuming that could of been on Raw. His next match was against the 1-2-3 kid on Superstars. That was when Superstars was quite a big TV programs compared to the early 2000's version

[@SirFooplesTheThird]

One of JR's best calls to this day is "CLIMB THE LADDER KID! MAKE YOURSELF FAMOUS"

[@carter3369]

Growing up watching Jeff in 2000 was awesome.The best time to be a fan.

[@bassacoustic1549]

Royal Rumble and Summerslam 2000 👍 incredible PPVs and Jeff was outstanding on both.

[@TheHardys01]

Jeff Hardy's shoot interview would be legendary.

[@craigwarke]

He's done at least one proper one, I think for Smart mark video

[@jesseinfinite]

I really think he's actually too chill to shoot on anybody.

[@TheHardys01]

@Zack from the North No, but I did mean to say interview instead of promo🤦

[@joe.limbus]

@@jesseinfinite he really is, but I think one day under the right circumstances he'd give a solid interview with somebody that really knows what they're talking about. Or most likely a podcast of another wrestler.

[@thatstonedvillain]

I'm sure he has more than enough to say but he doesn't seem like the type that would go complete burial on a company. Maybe tna lol

[@Ghostmanetx]

I started watching WWE when I was 6 years old back in 2008 and I could’ve chosen any face superstar like John Cena or Triple H to be my favorite but I chose Jeff Hardy because how much of a daredevil and unique he was. From the face paint to the no more words theme song I’ve forever been a fan of his. He literally made my childhood awesome.

[@malaja]

Sameee (except I wasn’t 6 years old in 2008 lol) Edit: started watching WWE/RAW in 2005 when it moved back to the USA Network.

[@sonnysad905]

I grew during the Ruthless Aggression era and Jeff Hardy definitely was the face for me of that era

[@pottsie_era]

yo i was 6 in 2008 but my favourites where Jeff Hardy, John Cena, Randy Orton, Triple H.

[@brettmorrison3031]

I remember those days. I was 14 when Smackdown vs Raw 2008 came out featuring ECW. Best SVR ever made in my opinion. Jeff has been my favorite since he and Matt’s debut

[@mckdink]

For me I was born in 1992 so I grew up watching 1999-2003 Jeff Hardy I feel bad for kids who weren't around d to see THAT version of Jeff... that was when Jeff was at his CRAZIEST... His very first run in WWE with Team Xtreme will always be my favorite

[@matheusvasconcelos4938]

That bump where he falls off the steel cage door onto the steel steps, in Impact I guess, was also terrifying

[@MrTrueCaller619]

Could've had an internal bleeding . Faar worse than breaking bones .

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

I remember I was on a HUGE Jeff Hardy kick around 2007 or 2008, when he was on a title chase. There was like a solid almost full year where I bought all PPVs in hopes of seeing him win the strap. Then I just kinda got fatigued w the whole thing and quit. And the very first PPV I skipped was the one where he won the title haha! Good times.

[@YungPirrie]

Same brotha i literally fell out of wwe and spent all of 2008 just HOPING he would finally win the title. I was 14 nearly at the time and I just needed that closure after all those years lolll and now im seeing what wrestling has become after all these years. And jeff is STILL wrestling for the brand 🤣

[@fucgoogle4559]

Lol classic Vince never giving the fans what they want

[@FelipePacheco10]

One of the best Jeff Hardy interviews I've seeing, this Alex McCarthy guy is really good.

[@bbd808ful]

I would love to see him become Champion one last time. That magical moment feeling again 🙏🏽

[@MrTrueCaller619]

He should win it in AEW, they need an elevation .

[@rishdog100]

Grew up with this guy watching wrestling from WWE to TNA .. Some of the spots he's done over his career is just on another level.

[@indiesongwriter5474]

Jeff Hardy's solo face run in the mid 2000s was one of my favorites and when people talk about loud pops they forget how OVER he was during that time. It was absolutely deafening, like Daniel Bryan or The Rock. 10/10.

[@petersands4449]

He just seems like a genuine good dude

[@thebluelibra5686]

Sweet dude for sure, and always entertaining. Glad to see him doing well!

[@noneyabizz2719]

Jeff is such a genuine good dude

[@forestmanzpedia]

I have been a big Jeff Hardy fan since 2008 and I bought one of those cool Hardy Boyz necklaces. I cried when Jeff Hardy left. Me being an adult now, I know wrestlers have their private lifes and other important things to follow.

[@SenorbryanA]

Jeff hardy has been my favorite wrestler as a little kid, I would always dress like him, always try to play him in games, always rewatch his matches, even doing his damn moves in the living room. He was my #1 ever I just loved his appearance and style, I always thought it was cool and bad ass he had a different style then Others and that’s what made him unique.

[@codydibble5607]

First time I got stitches in my head is from trying to do a whisper in the wind at a very young age and cracking my head off the corner of the wall lol and I used to piss my friend off when we were like 8-9 years old from doing Swanton bombs on him off the top of his bunk beds🤣🤣🤣 ahh, the memories💯👌

[@SenorbryanA]

@@codydibble5607 hahaha same bro me and my older cousins would wrestle in my old apartment we had a bunk bed then another bed on the other side of the room and then would throw me to the bed it was wild 🤣🤣

[@GyroLamb]

he always looked cool and unique, no matter who was on the roster there was only one Jeff Hardy, no one else like him. Every show, a different outfit, super colorful shit, different hair colors/arm bands, every match a different unique attire, as a young kid, I thought that was cool to anticipate what he'd be wearing/look like/what he'd do, since he was a daredevil. Just a unique package really.

[@kingofeverything2159]

No wonder Jeff has a crazy fan base. The things he did and broke his body for our entertainment, pleasure (sounds rude) and excitement is insane. Him and Mick Foley are two of the greatest in that and immortality is achieved. And long ago that is. Everything now is just craziness and adding to the legacy. Arguably the GOAT.

Respect to Austin, Rock, Taker & Cena but Jeff was our hero . He hits different

[@xmarkstheo]

I cant believe Jeff isnt in the GOAT conversation more often. Dude has been in the WWE since he was 16 and has been the biggest face of all time IMO. Craziest moves and the fact he had that underdog energy every time made us root for him that much more. Not the best on the mic but we listened to him and we believed him. Jeff Hardy top 10 greatest easily.

[@bassacoustic1549]

Would’ve been cool to ask him about Royal Rumble 2000, Summerslam 2000 and WMX7 with the famous spear he took from Edge while hanging in the air.
