Born and raised in Cameron, North Carolina, Hardy started his career as a youth performing in the Trampoline Wrestling Federation, which he started alongside his brother Matt Hardy. Eventually, that would transition into the Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA) as they became older.[2] As a tag team, the Hardy Boyz worked as enhancement talents for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) from 1994, and were signed to full-time contracts in 1998.[20] They gained notoriety in the tag team division, partly due to their participation in Tables, Ladders and Chairs matches.[21] With the addition of Lita, the team became known as Team Xtreme and continued to rise in popularity. After splitting up as a team in 2002, Jeff's popularity as a singles wrestler began to grow. However, the brothers still teamed up sporadically in the years afterward, and together they have held twenty-one world tag team championships between WWE, TNA, ROH and other promotions.

Hardy had great success in his singles career, capturing his first of six world championships, the WWE Championship in 2008 and going on to hold WWE's World Heavyweight Championship twice and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship three times. Within WWF/WWE, he has also won the Intercontinental Championship five times, the Hardcore Championship three times and the European, Light Heavyweight, and United States Championships once each. Having won the required championships, he is the 18th Triple Crown Champion and 9th Grand Slam Champion in WWE history (one of five men to complete both WWE Grand Slam formats, and one of two to win all original Grand Slam titles). He has headlined numerous pay-per-view events for WWE and TNA, including TNA's flagship event, Bound for Glory, on two occasions. Readers of Pro Wrestling Illustrated named him "Most Popular Wrestler of the Year" on two occasions.

Outside of professional wrestling, Hardy is involved in motocross, as well as artistic endeavors, particularly music and painting. He is currently a member of the band PeroxWhy?Gen, with whom he tours and has released three studio albums and four extended plays. In 2003, Hardy, along with his brother Matt, co-wrote an autobiographical book of memoirs titled The Hardy Boyz. Their book was a New York Times Best Seller.[22]

Early life edit

Jeff Nero Hardy[1][2] is the son of Gilbert and Ruby Moore Hardy, and the younger brother of Matt Hardy.[7][20][23] Their mother died of brain cancer in 1987, when Jeff Hardy was nine. [20][24][25][26] He developed an interest in motocross at age 12 and got his first bike, a Yamaha YZ-80.[27] He had his first race when he was in the ninth grade.[28] Hardy played baseball when he was young, but had to stop after he crashed during a motocross race, injuring his arm.[28] He also played football during high school as a fullback and linebacker.[27] He briefly competed in amateur wrestling in high school.[29] He had to stop playing football in high school, after he was ordered to pick between professional wrestling and football, and he chose wrestling.[30] Hardy's favorite subjects in school were U.S. history and art, which he did for extra credit.[31]

Professional wrestling career edit

Early career (1993–1998) edit

Hardy, along with his brother Matt and friends, started their own federation, the Trampoline Wrestling Federation (TWF) and mimicked the moves they saw on television.[20] Later on, the TWF went under several names, eventually being integrated into a county fair in North Carolina. The brothers and their friends then began to work for other independent companies. They drove all over the East Coast of the United States, working for companies such as ACW and other small promotions.[1]

Before arriving in the WWF, Jeff and Matt formed their own wrestling promotion, the Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA) with Thomas Simpson.[2] The promotion was a more successful version of the original TWF and included talent such as both Hardy brothers, Shannon Moore, Gregory Helms, Joey Matthews, and Steve Corino, among others.[32] In OMEGA, each of the brothers portrayed several characters; Hardy portrayed such characters as Willow the Wisp, Iceman, Mean Jimmy Jack Tomkins, and The Masked Mountain.[2] While there, Hardy held the New Frontier Championship (NFC) as a singles competitor and the Tag Team Championship with Matt.[2][33][34] The promotion folded in April 1998 when they signed contracts with the WWF.[35]

World Wrestling Federation/World Wrestling Entertainment (1994-2003) edit

Early years (1994–1998) edit

 
Hardy in 1999

Hardy cites Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Sting, and Shawn Michaels as his childhood inspirations to wrestle.[36] He started on World Wrestling Federation (WWF) television as a jobber—a wrestler who consistently loses to make his opponents look stronger. His first WWF match was against Razor Ramon on May 23, 1994, in Youngstown, Ohio, with Randy Savage mentioning on commentary, "Welcome to the big time".[37] His ringname that night, Keith Davis, was the name of Razor's scheduled jobber, who backed out on short notice. Gary Sabaugh, who had brought Hardy in a group along with Davis, suggested him to agent Tony Garea, who agreed after Hardy claimed he was 18 (he was in fact, only 16).[38] The next day, he wrestled under his real name against The 1–2–3 Kid, and the match aired on the June 25, 1994, episode of Superstars.[39] Later on faced against King Kong Bundy and Jim Neidhart, Owen Hart and Triple H. Hardy defeated Razor Ramon by countout on WWF Superstars January 13, 1996 (taped December 19, 1995) when Goldust's handler distract Razor and Razor chased after him.[40] In 1996, he would be teamed with his brother, Matt and occasionally wrestled as a jobber as late as May 1998 (including a match against Rob Van Dam during the ECW "invasion" storyline that had Hardy billed as being from Virginia instead of Cameron, North Carolina) before beginning his first major run in 1998.[41][20]

The Hardy Boyz (1998–2002) edit

The Hardy brothers eventually caught the eyes of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). After being signed to a contract in 1998, they were trained by Dory Funk Jr. in his Funkin' Dojo with other notable wrestlers such as Kurt Angle, Christian, Test, and A-Train.[20][42][1] When the team was finally brought up to WWF television, after months of "jobbing" and live events, they then formed the acrobatic tag team called the Hardy Boyz.[2] While feuding with The Brood in mid-1999, they added Michael Hayes as their manager.[2] On July 5, they won their first WWF Tag Team Championship by defeating the Acolytes, but lost it back to them a month later.[43] After the dissolution of the Brood, the Hardys joined forces with Gangrel as The New Brood and feuded with Edge and Christian.[2][44] This stable did not last long, however, and on October 17, 1999, at No Mercy, the Hardy Boyz won the managerial services of Terri Runnels in the finals of the Terri Invitational Tournament in the WWF's first ever tag team ladder match against Edge and Christian.[20][45] They competed in the first ever tag team triple threat ladder match against The Dudley Boyz, and Edge & Christian at WrestleMania 2000, in which Edge & Christian won. During the match, Hardy performed a Swanton Bomb to Bubba Ray Dudley off a 20-foot ladder.

 
Team Xtreme at King of the Ring in June 2000

In 2000, the Hardy Boyz found a new manager in their real-life friend Lita.[7] Together, the three became known as "Team Xtreme".[7] They continued their feud with Edge and Christian throughout 2000, defeating them for the WWF Tag Team Championship on two occasions.[46][47] At SummerSlam, the Hardy Boyz competed in perhaps the most physically demanding type of match they had competed in thus far- the first ever Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match (TLC match)- in their hometown of Raleigh, for the Tag Team Championship against the Dudley Boyz and Edge & Christian, but were unsuccessful. The second TLC match at Wrestlemania 17 in Houston, which is regarded as one of the greatest matches in WWE history they faced off once again against Edge & Christian and the Dudley Boyz but lost to the former.[21]

Hardy gained attention for his high risk stunts in the TLC matches, such as doing Swanton Bomb frontflips off of the top steps of 10 and 20 foot high ladders, making a name for himself as one of the most seemingly reckless and unorthodox WWF performers of his time.[21][48][49][50] In 2001, Hardy received a push as a singles competitor, and he held the Intercontinental (defeating Triple H), Light Heavyweight (defeating Jerry Lynn) and Hardcore Championships (defeating Mike Awesome and Van Dam on two occasions).[51][52][53] At the end of 2001, the Hardys began a storyline in which they began to fight, which led to Matt demanding a match at Vengeance, with Lita as the special guest referee.[54] After Hardy beat Matt by pinfall at Vengeance, while Matt's foot was on the ropes, Hardy and Lita began feuding against Matt.[55] In the middle of the feud, however, Hardy faced The Undertaker in a Hardcore Championship match and lost.[56] After the match, The Undertaker was scripted to attack both Hardy and Lita, injuring them.[56] On the next episode of SmackDown!, The Undertaker attacked Matt as well, also injuring him, in storyline.[57] The Hardys and Lita were not seen again until the Royal Rumble, because WWF did not have another storyline for their characters.[58] The Hardys later came back as a team, and there was never any mention of their previous storyline split.[58]

In early April 2002, the Hardy Boyz began a feud with Brock Lesnar after Lesnar gave Matt an F-5 on the steel entrance ramp, which led to an angered Hardy seeking revenge on Lesnar.[59] At Backlash, Hardy faced-off against Lesnar in Lesnar's first televised match.[60] Lesnar dominated Hardy and won the match by knockout.[61] Lesnar and the Hardys continued to feud over the next few weeks, with the Hardys coming out victorious only once by disqualification.[62] At Judgment Day, Lesnar gained the upper hand on the Hardy Boyz before tagging his partner, Paul Heyman, in to claim the win for the team.[63] In July 2002, Hardy won his third Hardcore Championship by defeating Bradshaw.[64][53]

Singles championship reigns and departure (2002–2003) edit

 
Hardy at a WWE live event in 2003

After years in the tag team division, Hardy took on The Undertaker in a ladder match for the WWE Undisputed Championship.[2][65] Hardy came up short in the intense match, but earned The Undertaker's respect when he displayed courage by attempting to rise to his feet after the bout and challenge The Undertaker to continue.[2] Hardy competed for singles titles on several occasions and defeated William Regal for the European Championship.[66] Hardy was defeated a few weeks later by Rob Van Dam in a ladder match to unify the European Championship and the Intercontinental Championship, and the European Championship was retired.[66] Finally, the Hardy Boyz split apart, as Hardy continued to pursue his singles ambitions on Raw and his brother, Matt left Raw for his own singles pursuits signing with Stephanie McMahon's SmackDown! brand. On Raw, Hardy would compete in WWE's Hardcore division until the title's unification with the Intercontinental Championship.[67]

In late 2002, Hardy had been teaming with Rob Van Dam and Bubba Ray Dudley. He along with Bubba Ray and Spike Dudley defeated 3-Minute Warning at Survivor Series in a six-man tag team elimination tables match.

In January 2003, Hardy briefly turned into a heel (villain) after he attacked Van Dam and Shawn Michaels.[1][68][69] It ended a month later when he saved Stacy Keibler from an attack by then-villain, Christian.[70] In February, he had a brief program with Michaels, which saw the two team up.[65][71] Then, in storyline, Hardy began dating Trish Stratus after saving her from Steven Richards and Victoria in March.[72] Hardy and Stratus had a brief on-screen relationship that saw the duo talking backstage and teaming together in matches. Hardy competed in his final match (his first departure) against The Rock and lost.[1][73] Hardy was released from WWE on April 22, 2003.[1][74] The reasons given for the release were Hardy's erratic behavior, drug use, refusal to go to rehab, deteriorating ring performance, as well as constant tardiness and no-showing events.[7][74] Hardy also cites "burn out" and the need for time off as reasons for leaving WWE.[36]

Independent circuit and Ring of Honor (2003) edit

On May 24, 2003, Hardy made his first wrestling appearance after being released by WWE during a show for the promotion OMEGA.[2] There, he used his old gimmick, "Willow the Wisp", and challenged Krazy K in a match for the OMEGA Cruiserweight Championship, in which he was defeated.[2]

This same year, he also appeared on Ring of Honor (ROH) at the event Death Before Dishonour, once again as "Willow the Wisp", wearing a mask and a trench coat.[75] As Willow, he participated in a triple-threat match against Joey Matthews and Krazy K, having the victory and during the which he was quickly unmasked and lost his jacket, being left in an attire similar to the one he wore in WWE.[75] Because of this, he was booed before, during, and after the match by the ROH audience, who chanted "We want Matt!" and "You got fired!".[75]

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2004–2006) edit

 
Hardy at a TNA event in 2005

Hardy debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) on June 23, 2004, at the Second Anniversary Show, in a match against A.J. Styles, for the TNA X Division Championship.[76] He also debuted his new entrance theme "Modest", a song performed by Hardy himself, and a new nickname, "The Charismatic Enigma".[2] The match ended in a no contest when Kid Kash and Dallas interfered.[76] Hardy returned to TNA on July 21 and was awarded a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.[77] Hardy challenged for the title on September 8, losing to NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett.[78] In October 2004, he won a tournament, earning a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on November 7 at Victory Road, TNA's first monthly pay-per-view.[79][80] Hardy was defeated by Jarrett once again in a ladder match at Victory Road following interference from Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.[80]

One month later at Turning Point, Hardy, Styles and Randy Savage defeated Jarrett, Hall and Nash (collectively known as the Kings of Wrestling).[81] Hardy went on to defeat Hall in a singles match, substituting for Héctor Garza at Final Resolution on January 16, 2005.[82]

At Against All Odds in February 2005, Hardy lost to Abyss in a "Full Metal Mayhem" match for the number one contendership to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.[83] Hardy returned the favor by defeating Abyss in a Falls Count Anywhere match at Destination X in March.[84] On March 25, 2005, Hardy teamed with Shocker defeating David Young and Lex Lovett.[85] Hardy then went on to feud with Raven.[86][87] Hardy defeated Raven in a Six sides of steel match at Lockdown in April.[88] Hardy was suspended from TNA after no-showing his "Clockwork Orange House of Fun" rematch with Raven at Hard Justice on May 15, allegedly due to travel difficulties.[2][89][90] Hardy's suspension was lifted on August 5, and he returned at Sacrifice approximately a week later, attacking Jeff Jarrett.[91]

He wrestled his first TNA match in four months at Unbreakable on September 11, losing to Bobby Roode following interference from Jarrett.[92] Throughout October 2005, Hardy became embroiled in a feud with Abyss, Rhino and Sabu.[93][94] The four-way feud culminated in a Monster's Ball match at Bound for Glory on October 23, which Rhino won after delivering a second rope Rhino Driver to Hardy.[1][95] In the course of the match, Hardy delivered a Swanton Bomb to Abyss from a height of approximately 22 ft 0 in (6.71 m).[95] Later that night, Hardy competed in a ten-man battle royal for the number one contendership to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, which Rhino also won.[95] At Genesis in November, Hardy lost to Monty Brown in another number one contender match.[96]

Hardy was scheduled to wrestle on the pre-show of Turning Point in December 2005, but once again no-showed the event, again citing traveling problems.[1][2] Hardy was suspended as a result and did not appear on TNA television again.[2] In March, April, and May 2006, Hardy appeared on several live events promoted by TNA in conjunction with Dave Hebner and the United Wrestling Federation. Hardy was later released from his TNA contract in June 2006.[1][2]

Return to WWE (2006–2009) edit

The Hardy Boyz reunion (2006–2007) edit

On August 4, 2006, WWE announced that Hardy had re-signed with the company.[74] In the following weeks, vignettes aired hyping his return on the August 21 episode of Raw.[97] On the day of his return, Hardy confronted then WWE Champion Edge, before an altercation between the two that ended when Lita pulled Edge out of the ring, preventing Hardy from delivering a Swanton Bomb.[98] After failing to capture the Intercontinental Championship from Johnny Nitro over the next few weeks, including at Unforgiven, Hardy finally defeated Nitro to win his second Intercontinental Championship on the October 2 episode of Raw.[99][100] On the November 6 episode of Raw, Hardy lost the Intercontinental Championship back to Nitro, after Nitro hit him with the Intercontinental Championship title belt.[101] One week later, Hardy regained it on the November 13 episode of Raw, with a crucifix pin.[102] This marked Hardy's third reign as Intercontinental Champion.[51]

 
Jeff and Matt (far right) at December to Dismember, making their entrances

On the November 21 episode of ECW, Hardy teamed with his brother, Matt, for the first time in four years to defeat The Full Blooded Italians.[103] At Survivor Series, they both were a part of Team D-Generation X, which gained the victory over Team Rated-RKO with a clean sweep.[104] The brothers then received their first opportunity since Hardy's return to win a tag team championship at Armageddon.[105] They competed in a four-team ladder match for the WWE Tag Team Championship, but they came up short in their attempt.[105] In the course of the match, however, they inadvertently legitimately injured Joey Mercury's face.[106]

With Hardy still feuding with Johnny Nitro and the other members of MNM into 2007, he was challenged once again by Nitro at New Year's Revolution in a steel cage match for the Intercontinental Championship.[107] Hardy once again defeated Nitro.[107] Hardy then teamed with Matt to defeat MNM at both the Royal Rumble and No Way Out pay-per-views.[108][109] The next night on the February 19 episode of Raw, Hardy lost the Intercontinental Championship to Umaga.[110] In April 2007, Hardy competed in the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania 23.[111] During the match, Matt threw Edge onto a ladder and encouraged Hardy, who was close to the winning briefcase, to finish Edge off.[111] Hardy then leaped off the 20-foot-high (6.1 m) ladder, drove Edge through the ladder with a leg drop, injuring both Edge and himself.[111] The two were unable to continue the match and were removed from ringside on stretchers.[111]

The night after WrestleMania on the April 2 episode of Raw, the Hardys competed in a 10-team battle royal for the World Tag Team Championship.[112] They won the titles from then WWE Champion John Cena and Shawn Michaels by last eliminating Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch.[112] They then began a feud with Cade and Murdoch, with the Hardys retaining the Championship in their first title defense against them at Backlash and again at Judgment Day.[113][114] The Hardys then defended their titles against The World's Greatest Tag Team in a Ladder match at One Night Stand.[115] However, the next night on Raw, the Hardys lost the titles to Cade and Murdoch, competing through injuries sustained in their previous night's ladder match.[116] The Hardys earned a rematch at Vengeance: Night of Champions but were defeated.[117]

Intercontinental Champion (2007–2008) edit

 
Hardy worked closely with Triple H during late 2007 and again in late 2008.

In the midst of feuding with Umaga, who defeated Hardy at The Great American Bash to retain the Intercontinental Championship in late July,[118] Hardy was abruptly taken off WWE programming.[2] He posted on his own website and in the forums of TheHardyShow.com that it was time off to heal, stemming from a bad fall taken in a match against Mr. Kennedy on the July 23 episode of Raw.[2] He made his return on the August 27 episode of Raw, defeating Kennedy by disqualification after Umaga interfered.[119] The following week, on the September 3 episode of Raw, Hardy captured his fourth Intercontinental Championship by defeating Umaga.[120]

This was the start of a push for Hardy, and at Survivor Series, Hardy and Triple H were the last two men remaining to win the traditional elimination match.[121] Hardy began an on and off tag team with Triple H,[122][123] which eventually led to a respectful feud between the two.[123] The rivalry continued at Armageddon, when Hardy defeated Triple H to become the number one contender for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble.[124] In the weeks leading up to the Royal Rumble, Hardy and Randy Orton engaged in a personal feud, which began when Orton kicked Hardy's brother, Matt, in the head in the storyline on the December 31 episode of Raw.[125] Hardy, in retaliation, performed a Swanton Bomb on Orton from the top of the Raw set on the January 14 episode of Raw and seemed to have all the momentum after coming out on top in their encounters.[126][127][128] Hardy, however, lost the title match at the Royal Rumble,[126] but was named as one of six men to compete in the Raw Elimination Chamber match at No Way Out, where he survived to the final two before being eliminated by the eventual winner, Triple H.[129]

During the March 3 episode of Raw, Hardy appeared on Chris Jericho's "Highlight Reel" segment as a special guest, but ended up attacking Jericho.[130] This led to an Intercontinental title match on the following Raw where Hardy dropped the title to Jericho.[131] Off-screen, Hardy dropped the title after he was suspended for sixty days, as of March 11, for his second violation of the company's Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy.[132] Hardy was also removed from the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania XXIV in which he was booked to win after the suspension was announced.[132][133] Hardy returned on the May 12 episode of Raw, defeating Umaga.[134] This reignited the rivalry between the two, and they met in a Falls Count Anywhere match at One Night Stand, which Hardy won.[135]

World Championship reigns and departure (2008–2009) edit

 
Hardy in November 2008

On June 23, 2008, Hardy was drafted to the SmackDown brand as a part of the 2008 WWE draft.[136] Hardy made his debut for the brand on the July 4 episode of SmackDown, defeating John Morrison.[137] Hardy participated in the WWE Championship Scramble match at Unforgiven and also challenged for the championship at No Mercy and Cyber Sunday, but failed to win each time.[138][139][140] He was originally scheduled to be in the WWE Championship match at Survivor Series, but, in storyline, was found unconscious in his hotel stairwell, allowing the returning Edge to replace him in the match and win the title.[141][142] At Armageddon, Hardy defeated Edge and Triple H in a triple threat match to capture the WWE Championship, his first world championship.[143][144]

In January 2009, Hardy's next storyline led to his involvement in scripted accidents, including a hit-and-run automobile accident and an accident involving his ring entrance pyrotechnics.[145][146] At the Royal Rumble, Hardy lost the WWE Championship to Edge after Hardy's brother, Matt, interfered and turned on Hardy, hitting him with a steel chair.[147] The buildup to this feud involved Matt implying that he was responsible for all of Hardy's accidents over the past few months, and at WrestleMania 25, Matt defeated Hardy in an Extreme Rules match and in a stretcher match on the April 10 episode of SmackDown.[148][149] In a rematch at Backlash, however, Hardy defeated Matt in an "I Quit" match to end the feud.[150]

On the following episode of SmackDown, Hardy won a fatal four-way elimination match to become the number one contender for Edge's World Heavyweight Championship at Judgment Day, but lost to Edge after Matt interfered and attacked him. Hardy then defeated Edge in a non-title match on the following SmackDown to earn the right to choose the stipulation for their rematch at Extreme Rules and chose a ladder match. At Extreme Rules, Hardy won the match to become World Heavyweight Champion for the first time. Immediately after the match, CM Punk cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and defeated Hardy to win the championship. He received his rematch against Punk in a triple threat match also involving Edge on the June 15 episode of Raw, but failed to win.[151] Hardy got another rematch at The Bash, and won the match via disqualification after Punk kicked the ref in the back while feigning an eye injury with Punk still retaining the title.[152] At Night of Champions, however, Hardy defeated Punk to win the championship for the second time. He made his first successful title defense five days later on SmackDown by defeating John Morrison. After the match, he was attacked by Punk, who invoked his rematch for the following week, where Hardy retained the championship after interference from Matt Hardy, who was the special guest enforcer. Punk again attacked Hardy post-match, resulting in Teddy Long announcing a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match between the two for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.[153][154] At SummerSlam, Hardy lost the title back to Punk.[155] On the August 28 episode of SmackDown, Hardy lost to Punk in a steel cage rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship, resulting in Hardy leaving WWE, in storyline, per the pre-match stipulation.[156] This storyline was put in place to allow Hardy to leave WWE to heal his injuries, including a neck injury.[157] Hardy also had two herniated discs in his lower back and was suffering from restless legs syndrome. Jeff Hardy's contract with WWE expired that week thus ending his 3 year stint with the company.[157]

Return to TNA (2010–2017) edit

Immortal (2010–2011) edit

 
Hardy during his return to TNA at the live Impact! on January 4, 2010

On TNA's first live Monday episode of Impact! on January 4, 2010, Hardy made his return to TNA, along with Shannon Moore.[158] He was attacked by Homicide after emerging from the crowd, but hit Homicide with a steel chair and performed the Twist of Fate on the Impact! Zone ramp.[158] He later appeared in backstage segments throughout the evening.[159] The following day, it was reported that Hardy had signed a new contract with TNA.[160] Hardy would make his next appearance for the company on the March 8 episode of Impact!, saving D'Angelo Dinero, Abyss and Hulk Hogan from A.J. Styles, Ric Flair and Desmond Wolfe.[161] The following week, Hardy defeated then TNA World Heavyweight Champion A.J. Styles in a non-title match.[162]

On the April 5 episode of Impact!, Hardy was introduced as a member of Team Hogan for the annual Lethal Lockdown match, where they would face Team Flair.[163] One week later, however, Hardy was injured when James Storm spewed a volatile liquid against a flame from his lighter, forming a fireball that singed most of Hardy's face.[164][165] At Lockdown, Team Hogan (Hardy, Abyss, Jeff Jarrett and Rob Van Dam) defeated Team Flair (Sting, Desmond Wolfe, Robert Roode and James Storm).[166] At Sacrifice, Hardy defeated Mr. Anderson.[167] After the event, Anderson turned face and eventually managed to convince the skeptical Hardy that he really had changed, after which the two went on to form a tag team.[168][169] At Slammiversary VIII, Hardy and Anderson, now known as Enigmatic Assholes, defeated Beer Money, Inc. (Robert Roode and James Storm) in a tag team match.[170]

On the August 19 episode of Impact!, the TNA World Heavyweight Championship was vacated after Rob Van Dam was injured by Abyss. Hardy was entered into an eight-man tournament for the championship, defeating Rob Terry in his first round match.[171] At the semi-finals at No Surrender, Hardy first wrestled Kurt Angle to a twenty-minute time-limit draw, after which Eric Bischoff ordered a five-minute period of extra time. After that and a second five-minute extra time period also ended in draws, it was ruled that Angle was unable to continue and the match ended in a no contest.[172] After wrestling a draw on the September 16 episode of Impact!, it was announced that both Hardy and Angle would advance to the finals at Bound for Glory, where they would compete with Mr. Anderson in a three–way match.[173]

 
Hardy as the TNA World Heavyweight Champion in November 2010

At Bound for Glory, Hardy turned heel with Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff and with their help defeated Angle and Anderson to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for the first time. They were then joined by Jeff Jarrett and Abyss, revealing the group that Abyss had been referring to as "they" for several months.[174] On the following episode of Impact!, the stable was named Immortal, as it formed an alliance with Ric Flair's Fortune. Meanwhile, Hardy debuted a new dark character, using cryptic messages as he explained the reasons behind his turn.[175] At Turning Point, Hardy retained his title in a defense against Matt Morgan, a replacement for Mr. Anderson, who was sidelined after suffering a concussion during an attack by Hardy.[176] On the following episode of Impact!, Hogan presented Hardy with a new design of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, which he dubbed the TNA Immortal Championship.[177] At Final Resolution in December, Hardy successfully defended the championship in a rematch against Morgan after incapacitating the special guest referee Mr. Anderson and having a replacement referee count the pinfall.[178] On January 4, 2011, Hardy made his debut for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) at Wrestle Kingdom V in Tokyo Dome, where he successfully defended the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Tetsuya Naito.[179][180]

On January 9 at Genesis, Hardy's brother, Matt, made his TNA debut as a surprise member of Immortal and defeated Rob Van Dam to prevent him from receiving a match at Hardy's championship.

Hardy's professional wrestling style has been described as "high-flying" and "death-defying"[350] with "daredevil stunts".[351] His signature finishing move is the Swanton Bomb.[352][351] However, by 2018, Hardy used the Swanton Bomb less frequently due to his accumulated lower back injuries.[353] Hardy also used the move 450 Splash in his early career but stopped after injuring his shoulder, instead using the Swanton Bomb exclusively.[354] Hardy also uses the Twist of Fate, a 34 Facelock cutter or a 34 facelock stunner. During his time as a heel in 2010, the Twist of Fate was renamed the Twist of Hate.[355][356] Hardy's other signature moves include Whisper in the Wind (a rolling senton bomb or a corkscrew moonsault); Poetry in Motion; a sitout jawbreaker; and a double leg drop to the midsection of a supine opponent.[357]

Hardy's professional wrestling persona reflects his artistic interests. He is known for his face and body paint which he creates himself before his matches.[358] He credits seeing Sting as a child during a show in North Carolina with inspiring him to create new designs with his face paint each match, saying, "Sting was coming out, this was an old NWA [National Wrestling Alliance] show, and I was able to touch his shoulder. And he had his face painted, his neon green tights on, and the blonde hair - and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I want to do that. I want to make somebody feel like he made me feel right now'".[359]

It is difficult to paint on a canvas while traveling for his work as a wrestler, so he uses his facepaint as a creative outlet.[360] He considers himself shy and introverted when not wearing his painted face, saying, "I can get to the building and have this image in my head. And being that I don't have a canvas I can just use my face as what I want to try to bring to life... All these artistic thoughts come into mind. Like it shows artistic freedom and also freedom of your soul. It's like expression at its best. I think I am more sociable when I'm all painted up. I think I feel normal, quite normal, a lot more normal than when I'm all shy and not painted. That's Jeff Hardy, the Charismatic Enigma at his best, when he comes out with the face paint. The face painted freak, man, that's by far a compliment in my book".[360][361]

Other media edit

Hardy appeared on the February 7, 1999, episode of That '70s Show entitled "That Wrestling Show", along with Matt, as an uncredited wrestler.[362][363] Hardy and Matt also appeared on Tough Enough in early 2001, talking to and wrestling the contestants.[364] He appeared on the February 25, 2002, episode of Fear Factor competing against five other World Wrestling Federation wrestlers.[365] He was eliminated in the first round.[365] His brother eventually won the $50,000 for his charity. Hardy also appears on The Hardy Show, an internet web show which features the Hardys, Shannon Moore and many of their friends.[366] In September 2009, Hardy signed a deal with Fox 21 to appear in a reality television show.[157]

In 2001, Hardy, Matt and Lita appeared in Rolling Stone magazine's 2001 Sports Hall of Fame issue.[367] In 2003, Hardy and Matt, with the help of Michael Krugman, wrote and published their autobiography The Hardy Boyz: Exist 2 Inspire.[368]

According to the Wrestling Figure Checklist, Hardy had 128 different action figures released in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s.[369]

As part of WWE, Hardy has appeared in several of their DVDs, including The Hardy Boyz: Leap of Faith (2001) and The Ladder Match (2007).[370][371] He is also featured in the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling release Enigma: The Best of Jeff Hardy (2005) and Pro Wrestling's Ultimate Insiders: Hardy Boys – From the Backyard to the Big Time (2005). On April 29, 2008, WWE released "Twist of Fate: The Matt and Jeff Hardy Story".[370] The DVD features footage of the brothers in OMEGA and WWE, and also briefly mentions Hardy's first run with TNA.[370] In December 2009, WWE released a DVD about Hardy entitled Jeff Hardy: My Life, My Rules.[372] In 2012 Total Nonstop Action released "Enigma: The Best Of Jeff Hardy Volume 2", a followup to the 2005 release featuring a 2 disc long documentary following Hardy's return to TNA, his heel turn, and the Victory Road 2011 incident, and is accompanied by the matches spoken about. In 2015, Total Nonstop Action release "The Best of Jeff Hardy Volume 3: Humanomoly", featuring some of his greatest matches throughout his TNA tenure.

Artistic and musical pursuits edit

Hardy has an eclectic set of interests outside of wrestling which includes songwriting, poetry and creating art.[7] He calls his artistic side "The Imag-I-Nation".[378] He has created three-dimensional artworks such as a 30-foot (9.1 m) statue of an "aluminummy" named "Neroameee" out of tin foil outside of his recording studio (a spray painted trailer),[7] an artificial volcano in his front yard, which he then jumped over on his motocross dirtbike and a large sculpture of his brother Matt's hand signal "V1", which was seen on The Hardy Show, an online webshow which featured both the Hardys, Shannon Moore, and many of their friends.[379] He has sold his original paintings online[380] and has donated his artwork to numerous charity auctions.[381][382] He also designs the art sold on numerous merchandise throughout his career including the album artwork for his musical pursuits.[381]

In 2003, Hardy formed a band, PeroxWhy?Gen, with members of the band Burnside 6 and Moore, who later left.[383] He also converted a trailer into a recording studio and taught himself how to play guitar and later purchased a drum set.[383] Their first album (marketed as a Jeff Hardy solo album) Plurality of Worlds was released through TNA Music on November 7, 2013.[384] Peroxwhy?Gen released their second album Within the Cygnus Rift on July 27, 2015.[385] Their third album, Precession of the Equinoxes, was released in 2017.[386] He performs his music at venues while traveling for his wrestling career, sometimes just hours after a match.[387] His music features rock and pop songs, tend to be autobiographical and Hardy prefers performing his slower songs live.[387]

Personal life edit

Hardy met his girlfriend Beth Britt in 1999, shortly after the Hardy Boyz won the WWF Tag Team Championship for the first time.[388] The couple met at a club in Southern Pines, North Carolina.[388] On March 15, 2008, it was reported that Hardy's home burned to the ground in a fire.[132][133] Hardy and his girlfriend Beth were not home at the time, but his dog, Jack was killed in the fire.[132][133] In August 2010, Hardy announced that Britt was pregnant with the couple's first child,[389] a daughter named Ruby Claire Hardy, who was born on October 20, 2010. Hardy and Britt got married on March 9, 2011.[390] The pair's second child, a daughter, Nera Quinn Hardy, was born on December 31, 2015.[391][392][393] Hardy has a tattoo of roots that starts on his head, behind his ear, and finishes at his hand.[394] He also has a few other signature designed tattoos, one of which, a dragon, he hid from his father at a young age.[394] It was also the first tattoo he got in 1998.[395] He later got tattoos of the Chinese symbols for "Peace" and "Health", as well as tattoos of fire and a wave.[395] On March 13, 2020, Hardy revealed a new tattoo on his back. Hardy regards his tattoos as his "artistic impulses".[396]

Legal issues edit

On September 11, 2009, Hardy was arrested on charges of drug trafficking in controlled prescription pills and possession of anabolic steroids, after a search of his house yielded 262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 Soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder cocaine, and drug paraphernalia.[397] On September 8, 2011, Hardy was sentenced to ten days in jail, 30 months of probation, and a fine of $100,000.[398][399] Hardy served his jail sentence from October 3 to 13, 2011.[400]

On July 13, 2019, Hardy was arrested in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, for public intoxication.[401] On October 3 of the same year, Hardy was arrested and charged with driving while impaired in Moore County, North Carolina.[402]

On June 13, 2022, Hardy was arrested by Florida Highway Patrol officers in Volusia County, Florida, on charges of driving with a suspended license, violating restrictions placed on his license which required him to keep an Ignition Interlock Device — a handheld breathalyzer that prevents users from starting their vehicle after drinking alcohol — in his car, and felony DUI.[403] According to Florida highway patrol officers, they observed a white vehicle "swerving" and "running off the road" at approximately 12:30 p.m. eastern time. They stated that once they got Hardy to pull over and they approached, he seemed confused, belligerent, and smelled of alcohol. The arrest report states that Hardy could not complete any portion of the field sobriety tests the officers had him do, and that he blew a blood alcohol level of 0.291, well above Florida's legal limit of 0.08.[404][405] In a press release sent out on June 14, AEW president Tony Khan announced that Hardy was indefinitely suspended without pay, and that he would only be invited back to AEW on the condition he would complete alcohol rehabilitation treatment and "maintain his sobriety".[344][403] Hardy submitted a plea of nolo contendere. As a result, Hardy was sentenced to the following in February 2023: a 38-day jail sentence (which Hardy had already served), two years of probation, $4,500 in court fees, a 10-year suspension on his drivers' license, two years with an interlock device, a 90-day vehicle impoundment, a court-mandated school or DUI program, and community service.[406][407]
