Matt Hardy was born with what he calls "Jimmy Legs". His legs just don't bend the way they are supposed to.
Matthew Moore Hardy was born & raised in Cameron – a small town in rural North Carolina – to Gilbert & Ruby Hardy on September 23, 1974. He is best known for his work in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) & more recently, Total Nonstop Action (TNA).
As young adults, Matt & his younger brother, Jeffrey Nero Hardy grew up as fans of professional wrestling, particularly NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) & WWE. With this influence in mind, Matt & Jeff founded a wrestling organization called the Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA) before both signing with WWE.
While there, the Hardy Boyz gained notoriety in WWE’s Tag Team division by innovating the modern day Ladder Match & pioneering the Tables, Ladders & Chairs matches. Together they held 7 World Tag Team Championships from 1999-2008. Matt also held the WWE Tag Team Championship with MVP in 2008.
