The Early Years of the Hardys

The Hardy Boyz, consisting of Jeff and Matt Hardy, began their wrestling career in 1994. They started out in the Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion, where they quickly gained popularity due to their high-flying and hard-hitting style.

Some of their notable feuds included: + The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) + The Sandman + The Public Enemy (Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge)

The Rise to Prominence

As the years went by, the Hardy Boyz continued to hone their craft and gain more experience. They began to make appearances in other promotions, including World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), now known as WWE. In 1999, they joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where they would go on to achieve great success. Some of their notable achievements in TNA include: + Winning the TNA World Tag Team Championship on multiple occasions + Being part of the iconic “Hardcore Revolution” faction + Feuding with other top teams, such as The Motor City Machine Guns and The Steiner Brothers

The Current Era

The Hardy Boyz are currently the TNA World Tag Team Champions, a title they have held on multiple occasions.

“We were all stuck at home, and the whole world was in chaos. It was a tough time for everyone, and I think that’s why it took a little longer for people to catch on to Matt’s talent.”

The Rise of Matt Hardy

Early Days and AEW Debut

Matt Hardy, the son of legendary wrestler Ric Flair, made his debut in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2020. However, his journey to stardom was not without its challenges. As Dreamer pointed out, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the wrestling industry, causing many events to be canceled or postponed. The pandemic led to a decline in attendance and viewership, making it difficult for new talent to gain traction.
