This aged like fine milk

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.

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!😄

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Jeff is such a genuine good dude

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

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.

man i could listen to jeff tell stories all day

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.

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.

Remember watching live on tv as a kid when he won the world title against triple h and edge. Still one of my favorite wrestling moments to this day.

That spinning ring idea is amazing!!!

For real the reason I started watching wrestling was that man right there what a guy and he doesn't even age wth!!! Get this man a good title run while he can still go ASAP.

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.

Jeff's face at 5:34 when he heard Xavier Woods's voice 😂.

Legend

The Undertaker Vs Jeff Hardy Ladder Match For The WWE Championship live at Raw 2003 was good match for Jeff that was a good match . I still watch it until this day 2021

Jeff is looking very healthy happy to see him like this

He kept his promise i cried when he left i was 8 he came back and cried

Jeff Hardy looks amazing. He is all elite

I met jeff and matt at their dads house in Carolina in the early 2000s it was great

Hardy is a legend

I’m 33 and grew up watching the Attitude Era. I love The Rock, Stone Cold, Undertaker, Kane, Triple H…. But my FAVORITE wrestler of all-time is Jeff Hardy.

quality questions

Stayed up late to watch that match 🔥🔥💯

This is a hall of famer, thank you for this

Everyone's second favourite wrestler. Impossible not to be absorbed by his matches.

still remember watching that match

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.

I’ll never forget armageddon when he won his first wwe title against edge and triple h!

Loved the Hardy's , them and y2j were the best thing about WWE in the early 2000s and then when they split they were still awesome, and when they returned it was the best return I've ever seen, and I think they're doing him dirty, he's older they shoulda put him on top even if just for a year rather than jobbing him out
