It’s so weird though. Matt was always a cool wrestler and capable of putting on good matches (even if sometimes he was a slacker) but WWE really never pushed for him. Jeff was always the real superstar
When did she cheat on Matt before? I mean I get that she cheated on him later with Edge (and Kane apparently). Surely it should have been "this wouldn't be the *last* time Lita cheated on Matt."
it amazes me how matt went from just being in his brother's shadow but once he was broken that man managed to get more popular than jeff freakin hardy now that's an accomplishment
Now they're going head-to-head in AEW. Nobody really can imagine the brilliance that they will put out in 2021 because let's face it: 2020 is dead as we speak.
Hey WrestlingBios! You ever thought about making a video with relieving wrestling? I mean, 2 one of the best channels come together to do some extremely good content. You 2 saved me from clickbait wrestling channels who just cannot act more respectful to their viewers. Just a suggestion. I will hope you continue making content.
When Matt Hardy became a solo performer in 2002 and signed with Smackdown, I initially thought that he wouldn't last long and not be able to generate any interest on his own without Jeff Hardy by his side but once he declared himself as the sensai of Mattitude and officially became version 1, I found him to be very entertaining especially when he had to lose weight to get into the cruiserweight division 😂 Him and Shannon Moore were a fun pairing, he had classic matches with Rey Mysterio in 03 and proved that he could get people to care about him when given the right gimmick to work with. He was a very funny heel during the ruthless aggression era
@@justinhillenburg9286 can kind of agree with you mostly because he's always been the "daredevil" while Matt's changed his entire personality, though I liked Jeff's antichrist heel run in TNA
I always liked Matt more than Jeff. Really got behind the V1 run and his broken gimmick was awesome. Just another great performer that WWE failed to utilize.
The problem with Jeff is that later in his career all his matches became the same thing. Get beat up majority of the match, quick comeback , swantonbomb pin.
The "Mattitude Era" was probably my favorite era of Matt Hardy. Broken/Woken is great and all, but I loved Version 1.0 Matt so much. The Matt Facts, theme, attire, and just everything was WONDERFUL!
Before the broken gimmick, Matt was one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time. The best part of broken Matt was seeing him finally get the recognition he deserved.
His delusional side is what made me like him, And 've always tought that Matt had more character than Jeff. And after a longer tought than needed... I realized that his theme music is my favorite of all time.
I've enjoyed many characters in pro wrestling while I have been watching since 1985 but for some reason there's no character I got behind or supported more than Matt Hardy V1. I can't explain why. I just loved the gimmick so much.
The Matt Hardy Version 1 character was hilarious. It really did show that Matt had alot of potential. It took Matt some time, but he finally proved that he had amazing charisma and talent when he became Broken Matt Hardy. His Broken Matt Hardy character surpassed his brother Jeff Hardy big time. I watched all the promos and matches that Broken Matt Hardy did in TNA many times because they were extremely entertaining. I am glad that he signed with AEW. The WWE were just wasting Matt's time, and they were never going to let him be a top superstar. AEW will give him more creative control, a great paycheck, and a more relaxed schedule compared to the WWE.
I was so happy to see Matt come into his own on TNA! The man is a great wrestler and a creative genius! This is no way taking away from Jeff! He's got his own high flying style and has some truly bizarre, awesome ideas of his own! WWE just seemed to like keeping Matt in the shadow of Jeff. Matt is doing awesome things on his TH-cam channel and hopefully he has great success with that and with whatever he does next in whichever company. And hopefully Jeff bounces back and has great success with his next endeavors as well!
Matt Hardy V1 was great. Matt was the better wrestler, Jeff was the riskier and more charismatic. By the way Matt had an underrated physique, he was pretty big and in good shape for awhile in 2005.
Should be retitled " the story of a f'n wrestling genius". This dude has kept his composure and succeeded where others have failed countless times. Matt changed the way on how to "get over". Much respect.
I will always be an Meffer! The Matt facts was so simple but added so much personality and him losing weight to make weight connected because I would make weight for amateur wrestling
Major props on this retrospective. MHV1 was awesome! He should have been allowed to go further with it, but thankful for what he gave to wrestling fans with this gimmick.That song fit him perfectly! Never saw the Broken or Woken personas, so looking forward to catching up with youtube vids.
You really are the best wrastlin channel man. Pretty sure I have watched most all the big channels like WWW and Wrestletalk but your vids are the ones I always get excited to watch.
I remember a triple tag team match where Matt's teammates got the pin but Matt forced them to lift him on their shoulders as if he was the hero. One of the funniest things I've seen in wrestling.
I'll admit I was a Jeff hardy fan , but my one friend was a huge v1 Matt hardy fan , he used to do the old v1 hand thing and while shouting Matt hardy!!!
Matt Hardy was over a handful of times but never got the love from Vince and the higher ups sadly. Matt Hardy V1 should of been a staple for a mid card
I think the creator of this channel loves good heels more than anything. It was fun to grow up liking heels such as HBK, HHH, Y2J and Matt V1. It sticks with you. Even today, Roman is way more enticing than any face and his championship reign can last forever.
I loved V1. More so than so many other characters. Interesting to look back as I don't remember the V1 character being a "heel." Just all sorts of awesome.
I did like this version of him but couldn’t remember much about it til the video. I’d say early 2000’s WWF really had the upswing in reinvention but missed other opportunities when they’d settle into one person. When are you gonna upload Matt vs Edge & Lita’s fallout?
In 2003 I was in a production of _As You Like It_ as Charles the Wrestler; as I entered to fight Orlando I would throw the "V1" sign. I don't think anyone got it though.
Jeff is the high flyer while matt is the more ground/muscle/technical wrestler. I think jeff carried the hardy boyz due to his risky moves. Matt is like eeehhhggg. Regardless I like them both, huge fan.
“Matt often wonders how they made wrestlemania without him”😂😂
Matt really was one of the most creative wrestlers even before broken matt.
I actually prefer the V1 Matt Hardy. He should've been wwe champion and world heavyweight champ no IFS ands OR BUTS
It’s so weird though. Matt was always a cool wrestler and capable of putting on good matches (even if sometimes he was a slacker) but WWE really never pushed for him. Jeff was always the real superstar

I always liked Matt more than Jeff with all due respect to Jeff. Matt always seemed to have more character than Jeff.
I didn't think so. I didn't see much of a character. All I saw was Matt Hardy gone solo & the "Version 1.0" name being a clever play on words.
no i created matt hardy in smackdown vs raw so therefore i am the genius behind everything
"This wouldn't be the first time Lita cheated on Matt" - Wrestling Bio , sick burn lol
I caught that too lmao!!!!!
Ouch!
I went straight to the comments to see if i was the only one who caught that joke lol

Funny thing is I Matt was always my favorite.😂
Yeah but only for a moment once the Hardy's went back to WWE Jeff went back to being favored
@@dannyrivera8300
I blame WWEs booking
@@spacecase7504 I think Jeff is more relatable people can relate to him because everyone knows someone/or them themselves have battled substance abuse
Jeff nowadays is the bizarre case of a "Marty Jannety" that has more singles silverware than the "Shawn Michaels" that is Broken Matt.
"Matt only drinks low fat chocolate milk."
That was my favourite Matt Fact.
Matt utilizes toilet seats 😂
Matt often wonders how they did WrestleMania without him
Matt Has a Heated Toilet Seat
Matt didn’t lose his virginity until 17. 😭
He can't stand Mustard! Lol
My favorite Mattitude fact:
"Matt strongly dislikes mustard."
Also love the fact he called back to it during his Broken days
“Matt’s fortune cookie fortunes always predict success”

Me too.
But dont mind it as a flavour of crisps (chips) or as a glaze. 🤷♂️
Matt Hardy & Chris Jericho. They reinvent themselves to success.
Now they're going head-to-head in AEW. Nobody really can imagine the brilliance that they will put out in 2021 because let's face it: 2020 is dead as we speak.
This gimmick was SEVERELY underrated.
I loved this change for Matt and he was also always my favourite Hardy bro

Matt Hardy V1 was so Underrated

My favourite version of Matt Hardy.
Mattitude is practiced in 100 countries.
I seen V1 Matt hardy I clicked immediately
Wrestling Bios is the only place To get the whole story. Your attention to detail and delivery is great ! I have never been disappointed.
The cruiserweight weight loss storyline was my all time favourite for V1!
Thank you for the upload WB 🙏🙌
100K soon come! 💪
"Matt is his Father's favorite son" lol
If Jeff was your brother you would be too.
Matt Hardy has had a lot of good gimmicks. Brood, Team Xtreme, V1, Iconic, and especially Broken.
Not familiar with iconic when he do that?
@@slicetee3985 Big Money Matt?
Any of them are better than "Cold Blooded" Matt Hardy in TNA...
Don’t forget “Will not Die” thats after all the Mattitude Stuff
Broken is cringe never was good
Let's be honest, Matt is sooo good at creating gimmicks/characters.
Matt Hardy fact: No one ever realised that the V1 hand sign was the shocker. Hillarious!
...?
Two in the pink one in the stink
@@ToiseToise never fails brotha
My favorite thing about this gimmick was definitely Matt callin Shannon, his number 1 M.F.'r.
Mattitude Follower, for the uniniciated.
~L O L~
..... But we ARE initiated, aren't we, Bruce?
And crash was Shannon's follower and called a moore-on
By September 2002 the ruthless aggression era was in full swing.
Kinda weird seeing how underated Matt Hardy is
On the other side of the Hardy Boyz coin, Jeff's a little bit overrated.

I hope matt gets a creative role somewhere. Dude has a great mind for the business and making multiple gimmicks work
Matt Facts and the Side Effect move were some of my favorite things during this era.

The fact that jeff, edge and christian all became wwe world champs and not matt is a crime
V1 was great but that entrance video is one of my all time favorites. He really should of stayed on Smackdown.
Matt Hardy V1 was great. Matt was the better wrestler, Jeff was the riskier and more charismatic. By the way Matt had an underrated physique, he was pretty big and in good shape for awhile in 2005.
Edge and Christian were on the same level. They were really good at messing with the crowd.
I loved the V1 character I always sometimes wished they would let him bring it back as like a one off or something.
Should be retitled " the story of a f'n wrestling genius". This dude has kept his composure and succeeded where others have failed countless times. Matt changed the way on how to "get over". Much respect.

Dig and adore them both.... But Matt is definitely the most creative one... And definitely does deserve to stand on his own... Both are legends....
My favorite Matt fact was Matt loves getting stuff for free.
I'll admit I was a Jeff hardy fan , but my one friend was a huge v1 Matt hardy fan , he used to do the old v1 hand thing and while shouting Matt hardy!!!
It’s crazy how much top notch material you put out. Without a doubt my favourite wrestling channel on TH-cam. Keep up the good work bud.
Hell yeah man I loved V1 Matt they should've never drafted him to raw and kept him with Shannon and Crash
Crash was released Mid summer 2003 and unfortunately, he passed several months later that year.
@@MrBlkthndr oh dang RIP crash
I agree i loved the *V1* stable with *Matt Hardy, Shannon Moore & Crash Holly*
Woww this a shocker!!! I'm surprise Matt Hardy got a bio he is my favorite Hardy
I remember watching the Hardy Boys vs Dudley Boyz vs Edge and Christian in there TLC matches. Those are still some of my top matches ever
This is the best channel on TH-cam image if the episodes were a hr long I would never leave the house
Matt Hardy was over a handful of times but never got the love from Vince and the higher ups sadly. Matt Hardy V1 should of been a staple for a mid card
Loved Version 1 as a kid. Wish WWE kept it around longer. Matt has created 2 unique legendary personas now that WWE completely ruined.

Matt and Jeff were in my favourite ever match at WM16. Great video.
I loved V1. More so than so many other characters. Interesting to look back as I don't remember the V1 character being a "heel." Just all sorts of awesome.
I was a huge fan of Matt Hardy V1....still am
I remember all this version 1 matt hardy was great heel but really funny like his promos with taker back then 😎🤘
Jeff might have been the more successful Hardy Brother and my favorite Hardy brother but Matt is definitely the more creative
Taker needed "A Mattitude Adjustment". Big match John must have been a fan 🤔
My favourite version of Matt Hardy and one of the most underrated gimmicks of all time!
Matt Hardy V1 revolutionized the internet!😅
I'm a big fan of both Hardy Boys. V1 Matt was hilarious.
Matt has always been an infinitely better heel promo, it seems to give him massive confidence on the mic.
Another great video man loved the V1 character
What makes him my fave wrestler is his ability to tell a story through a match
YES! Great vid. Cheers. Must watch.
We need Matt Hardy Version 2
Great video, really hope to see a Jeff Hardy video one day soon. The Hardy's are my favorite ever.
Thank you so much for doing Matt Hardy. Hopefully you can do the love triangle and his broken gimmick run. As you can tell I’m a big Matt hardy fan.
Only last week chatting with some friends about how great Matt Hardys V1 character was and how underrated it was

You gotta do Y2J next keep up the good work
I always thought Matt was the better worker between and Jeff
Moral of the story, had Matt Hardy stayed on SmackDown instead of Raw he would've been more successful... On Gaahd.
I love his intro music.. wwe really slipped on this matt hardy return.. I was hoping for V1 gimmick to make a come back.
In 2003 I was in a production of _As You Like It_ as Charles the Wrestler; as I entered to fight Orlando I would throw the "V1" sign. I don't think anyone got it though.
"This wouldn't be the first time Lita cheated on Matt" Was actually
While I prefer bio material from the 80s and early to mid 90s, this is a great video.
0:35 aww man, now I gotta listen to the Original.
Jeff is the high flyer while matt is the more ground/muscle/technical wrestler. I think jeff carried the hardy boyz due to his risky moves. Matt is like eeehhhggg. Regardless I like them both, huge fan.
