MATT'S STORY

The Hardy Boyz forever inscribed their names in the annals of World Wrestling Federation History with their breathtaking performance in the Ladder Match at 1999 No Mercy Pay-Per-View, when they defeated Edge and Christian to win the finals of the Terry Invitational Tournament. At a tag team, Matt and Jeff Hardy undoubtedly will go down as the most breathtaking combination in Federation history. However, it's their talent as individuals that have bonded the brothers into such a cohesive unit.

Growing up, both Matt and Jeff were fans of the legendary Fabulous Freebirds. Shortly after Matt, and offensive linemen, a tightend and defensive end for Cameron N.C.'s Union Pines High School, began his Federation career in 1997 as a single competetor. Soon thereafter, he and Jeff aligned themselves with Michael Hayes. It was under the tutelage of the former Freebird that the Hardyz upset the Acolytes to Capture their first Tag Team Championship on June 29, 1999 - in Fayetteville, N.C., about an hour of hometown Cameron.

Though Matt and Jeff are four-times Federation Tag Team Champions, Matt has enjoyed some success as a single competitor. On April 24, 2000, The Hardys' Carolina magic worked again as Matt upset Crash Holly to win the Hardcore Championship in Raleigh, N.C.

As dynamic and hardcore Matt has proven to be in the ring, he is very intelligent outside the ring, as well. If not for a career in the World Wrestling Federation, Matt says he'd resume his pursuit of a degree in engeneering. Whether he's competing in a classic ladder match with his brother Jeff, battling in a hardcore match, or aspiring to build a 100-story building, Matt Hardy approaches each challenge with the same heart and desire which has gotten him to where he is today.
