Jeff would gain attention for his high risk stunts in the [[Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match|TLC matches]] in the year 2000 and 2001 (the Hardy Boyz) and 2002 (Jeff Hardy and [[Rob Van Dam]]) and made a name for himself as one of the most seemingly reckless and unorthodox WWF performers of his time. In 2001, Jeff would also hold both the [[WWE Intercontinental Championship|WWE Intercontinental]] and [[WWE Light Heavyweight Championship|Light Heavyweight Championships]].

In early April of 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 Jeff seeking revenge on Lesnar.

Jeffrey (Jeff) Nero Hardy (born August 31 1977) is an American professional wrestler currently performing on the RAW brand of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), where he is one half of the World Tag Team Champions along with his brother Matt Hardy.

Career

Matt and Jeff Hardy were avid wrestling fans growing up and had a dream of becoming wrestlers since a young age. He cites Sting, The Ultimate Warrior, and Shawn Michaels as his childhood inspirations to wrestle.[1] Jeff had been on WWF TV as a jobber as early as age 16, and wrestled as a jobber occasionally as late as 1997 before beginning his first major run in 1998. Jeff, along with Matt and friends, started their own federation, the TWF (Trampoline Wrestling Federation)[2] and mimicked the moves they saw on TV. Later on, the federation went under several different names, eventually being integrated into a county fair in North Carolina, USA. Jeff, Matt, and 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.

Before arriving in the World Wrestling Federation, Matt had formed his own wrestling promotion, OMEGA (Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts) with Thomas Simpson. The promotion was a more successful version of the original TWF and included such talent as Matt, Jeff, Shannon Moore, Gregory Helms, Joey Matthews, Caprice Coleman, and many others. In OMEGA, Matt and Jeff each had several different characters. Jeff portrayed such characters as Will O' the Wisp,[3] Iceman, Mean Jimmy Jack Tomkins, Wolverine, and The Masked Mountain.

World Wrestling Federation

The Hardy Boyz (1998-2002)

Main article: Hardy Boyz

The Hardy brothers eventually caught the eyes of the World Wrestling Federation, and after being signed to a contract in 1998, they were trained by former wrestler Dory Funk, Jr. in his Funkin' Dojo with other notable wrestlers such as Kurt Angle, Christian, Test, and A-Train. When the team were finally brought up to WWF TV, they formed the acrobatic tag team called The Hardy Boyz. In 1999, they feuded with Edge and Christian and had a short stint in the stable The New Brood."

The team of Matt and Jeff won the WWE Tag Team Championship on six occasions, ensuring they would be known as one of the most successful tag teams in WWE history. In 2000, Matt and Jeff found a new manager in their real-life friend Lita. Together, the three became known as "Team Xtreme".

Jeff would gain attention for his high risk stunts in the TLC matches in the year 2000 and 2001 (the Hardy Boyz) and 2002 (Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam) and made a name for himself as one of the most seemingly reckless and unorthodox WWF performers of his time. In 2001, Jeff would also hold both the WWE Intercontinental and Light Heavyweight Championships.

In early April of 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 Jeff seeking revenge on Lesnar. At Backlash 2002 Jeff faced-off against Lesnar in his first televised match. Lesnar dominated Hardy and won the match by knockout. Lesnar and the Hardys would continue to feud over the next few weeks, with the Hardys coming victorious only once by disqualification. At Judgement Day 2002, Lesnar gained the upper hand on the Hardy Boyz before tagging, his partner, Heyman in to claim the win for the team.

Singles competition (2002-2003)

After years in the tag team division, Jeff stepped up and took on The Undertaker in a Ladder match for the Undisputed Championship. Jeff came up short, but earned the Undertaker's respect. Jeff competed for singles titles on several occasions, but was unsuccessful. Finally, the Hardy Boyz split apart, as Jeff continued to pursue his singles ambitions on RAW and Matt was drafted to SmackDown!.

In January 2003, he had a brief heel turn that began after he attacked Rob Van Dam and Shawn Michaels. It ended a month later when he saved Stacy Kiebler from an attack by Christian. In February, he had a brief program with Shawn Michaels, which saw the two team up. Then Hardy hooked up with Trish Stratus after saving her from Steven Richards and Victoria in March. Hardy and Stratus had a brief on-screen (kayfabe) relationship that saw the duo talking backstage, kissing, and teaming together in matches. In his last match before being released, Jeff was defeated by The Rock. Jeff was released from WWE on April 22, 2003. The reasons given for the release were Jeff's erratic behavior, drug use, refusal to go to rehab, deteriorating ring performance, as well as constant tardiness and no-showing events.[4] [5] Hardy also cites "burn out" and the need for time off as reasons for leaving WWE.[1]

Time off and independent circuit (2003)

After leaving the WWF/E, Hardy took a whole year off of wrestling to concentrate on motocross and finish his motocross track.[6]

Jeff then returned to wrestling and performed with the Ring of Honor. Jeff first appeared at ROH's 2003 show, Death Before Dishonor, under his "Will O' the Wisp" gimmick, wearing a mask and trench coat. Jeff was quickly unmasked and lost his jacket, wearing attire similar to that he wore in WWE. Jeff was booed and heckled before, during, and after the match by the ROH audience, who chanted "We want Matt!" and "You got fired!" during his match with Joey Matthews and Krazy K, which Jeff won.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2004-2006)

Hardy debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling on June 23, 2004 at the TNA weekly pay-per-view #100, the Second Anniversary Show, in a match against TNA X Division Champion A.J. Styles, for the title. He also debuted his new entrance theme "Modest," a song performed by Hardy himself, and his new nickname The Charismatic Enigma. The match ended in a no-contest when Kid Kash and Dallas interfered. Hardy returned to TNA on July 21, 2004, and was awarded a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Hardy challenged for the title on September 8, 2004, losing to NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett.

Hardy teamed with A.J. Styles and Ron Killings throughout mid-2004. In October 2004 he won a tournament, earning a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on November 7, 2004 at Victory Road 2004. Hardy was defeated by Jarrett once again in a ladder match at Victory Road following interference from Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. One month later at Turning Point 2004, Hardy, Styles and Randy Savage defeated Jarrett, Hall and Nash (collectively known as the Kings of Wrestling). Hardy went on to defeat Hall in a single match at Final Resolution 2005 on January 16, 2005.

At Against All Odds 2005 in February 2005, Hardy lost to Abyss in a "Full Metal Mayhem" match for the number one contendership to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. However, he went on to defeat Abyss in a Falls Count Anywhere match at Destination X 2005 in March. Hardy then went on to feud with Raven, with Hardy defeating Raven in a steel cage match at Lockdown 2005 in April. Hardy was suspended from TNA after no-showing his "Clockwork Orange House of Fun" rematch with Raven at Hard Justice 2005 on May 15, 2005, allegedly due to travel difficulties. Hardy's suspension was lifted on August 5, 2005, with Hardy returning to TNA at Sacrifice 2005 approximately a week later, attacking Jeff Jarrett. He wrestled his first TNA match in four months at Unbreakable on September 11, 2005, losing to Bobby Roode following interference from Jarrett.

Throughout October 2005, Hardy became embroiled in a feud with Abyss, Rhino and Sabu. The four way feud culminated in a Monster's Ball match at Bound for Glory 2005 on October 23, 2005, which Rhino won. In the course of the match, Hardy delivered a Swanton Bomb to Abyss from a height of approximately seventeen feet (5.18 meters). 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. At Genesis 2005 in November, Hardy lost to Monty Brown in another number one contender match.

Hardy was scheduled to wrestle on the pre-show of Turning Point 2005 in December 2005, but once again no-showed the event, again citing traveling problems. Hardy was suspended as a result and did not appear in TNA again. In March, April and May 2006, Hardy appeared on several house shows promoted by TNA in conjunction with Dave Hebner and the United Wrestling Federation.

World Wrestling Entertainment (2006-present)

On August 4, 2006, WWE announced that Hardy had re-signed with the company. In the following weeks, Jeff Hardy vignettes aired hyping his return on the August 21, 2006 episode of RAW. On the day of his return, he defeated Edge by disqualification. After failing to capture the Intercontinental Championship from Johnny Nitro over the next few weeks, including at Unforgiven 2006, Hardy finally defeated Nitro to win his second Intercontinental Championship on the October 2, 2006 edition of RAW. On the November 6, 2006 episode of RAW, Hardy lost the Intercontinental Championship back to Johnny Nitro, after Nitro hit him with the Intercontinental Championship title belt. Just a week after he lost the title to Nitro, Hardy regained it on the November 13, 2006 edition of RAW, with a crucifix pin. This marked Hardy's third reign as Intercontinental Champion.

On the November 21, 2006 episode of ECW on Sci Fi Jeff teamed with his brother Matt for the first time in almost five years. They had their old titantron video and music and defeated the Full Blooded Italians. At Survivor Series 2006, Matt and Jeff were a part of team DX, which gained the victory over Team Rated-RKO with a sweep. Jeff and Matt then received their first opportunity since Jeff's return to win a tag team championship. They competed in a 4-team Ladder match for the WWE Tag-Team Championship at Armageddon 2006, but they came up short in their attempt. However, in the course of the match, Jeff and Matt inadvertantly legitly injured Mercury's face [7].

With Jeff Hardy still feuding with Johnny Nitro and MNM into 2007, Jeff was challenged once again by Johnny Nitro at New Year's Revolution 2007 in a Steel Cage Match for the Intercontinental Championship. Hardy once again defeated Nitro. Jeff teamed with his brother Matt to defeat MNM at both the Royal Rumble 2007 and No Way Out 2007. The next night on RAW, Hardy was defeated for the Intercontinental title by Umaga. In April 2007, Jeff competed in the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania 23. During the match, Matt Hardy threw Edge onto a ladder and encouraged Jeff, who was close to the winning briefcase, to finish off Edge. Jeff then leaped off the ladder nearly 20 feet, drove Edge through the ladder with a leg drop, injuring both Edge and himself. The two were unable to continue the match and were removed from ringside on stretchers.

The next night on RAW, the Hardys competed in a 10-team battle royal for the World Tag Team Championship. They won the titles after eliminating Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch. After briefly feuding with Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, the Hardys retained their World Tag Team Championships in their first title defense at Backlash 2007 and again at Judgment Day 2007.

Championships and accomplishments

Artistic pursuits

Hardy has an eclectic set of interests outside of wrestling. At one stage, Hardy constructed a 30-foot statue of an "aluminummy" named "Neroameee" out of tinfoil outside of his recording studio (a spray painted trailer).[4] On another occasion, he created an artificial volcano in his front yard, which he then jumped over on his motocross dirtbike. Hardy is also an artist and poet.

Hardy appeared on the February 7, 1999 episode of That '70s Show entitled "That Wrestling Show", along with Matt, as an uncredited wrestler. He also appeared in the February 25, 2002 episode of Fear Factor competing against five other World Wrestling Federation wrestlers. He was eliminated in the first round.

In 2003, Hardy formed a band, Peroxwhy?gen, with fellow professional wrestler Shannon Moore and members of the band Burnside 6. The band recorded two songs. One was "September Day", a song Jeff had written in reaction to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Rumours arose that Peroxwhy?gen split up in 2004 shortly after recording the second song, "Modest", which Hardy later used as his entrance music in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. However, on the official Peroxwhy?gen MySpace, on April 27, 2006, the following message was posted in the blog. "Yes we are still together and writing songs. No we are not broken up. JR from the band runs this site." In spite of this announcement, a moderator at "The Matt Hardy Show" claims that Jeff is currently working on his musical career as a solo act, and has left Peroxwhy?gen.

In May 2005, Jeff joined his brother Matt and Shannon Moore on a side project known as TheHardyShow, which was a creative outlet used by Jeff, Matt, and Shannon to showcase their lives outside of the ring. Jeff Hardy's favorite character portrayal, known as Itchweeed, is a landscaping legendary from the outer reaches of time and space, and makes random appearances during show episodes.
