Jeff Hardy honestly has had a crazy wrestling career. He's had some of the greatest matches ever and is a Future hall of famer. Yet he's also had major lows like letting down multi companies due to booze/drugs.
It's pretty sad how someone so iconic is their own worst enemy. Dude is a total future Hall of Famer, and should probably be in it already, but just gets in his own way
"Duuude...I was watching Markyd123 the other day, man. And this dude, Jeff Hardy, he did his Swanton Bomb finishing maneuver, man! But he missed it! Man, I'm gonna go to Carolina and I'm gonna tell Jeff's stoner friend Shannon all about this!"
Jeff actually had his own section of groupies and fanboys at the Impact Zone during this run. I think they were called the “Creatures”. Eventually their ringleader, a big fat guy, was banned from the Impact Zone after repeated bad behavior from the entire collective.
I remember always seeing a group of Sting guys on tv and when I went to a show in the Impact Zone they were there and for sure the loudest out of anyone
The fact he no-showed twice in his first run, embarrassed the company with the Victory Road incident in his second run and got ANOTHER world title run a year later at Bound For Glory 2012 just shows the favoritism towards Ex-WWE guys over the homegrown talent at the time.
Makes sense there is favoritism though, 'ex-WWE superstar' has more weight in the eyes of casual fans than 'ex-TNA superstar'. All business at the end of the day.
I remember when Jeff returned to wwe in 2006, Edge told him, "don't tell me that you did not die in 2003". I miss the moving match cards in wwe and tna.
Edge’s words in that segment were; “What the hell are you doing here, Jeff Hardy?! Didn’t you die like 3 years ago?!” I’ve seen that clip several times over the years and not once did he mention the year 2003.
Fun fact: We have Vince to thank for Jeff Hardy. The good & bad (WWE runs, anyway). HHH & Stephanie wanted no part of Jeff because they did not believe he would ever be a reliable or safe performer. It was Vince who kept Jeff around & didn't want to hear s××t from the two of them about it.
@@BasedMigz HHH is famously sober (I almost said straight edge, but he just doesn't do substances, drink, smoke, etc. Steroids were all good, tho). So while he can work with people who drink after work, he doesn't trust someone like Hardy who has shown up to work inebriated/high.
@@BasedMigzWhat? They didn't debut anywhere near each other. HHH came into WWF in 1995 or 1996 while The Hardys were among the random bag of jobbers paid to lose to people like HHH on Raw. He and Matt didn't debut for an actual run in WWF until 1999.
Next thing you know, Jeff Hardy became arguably the most popular wrestler in WWE years after his 1st TNA stint. It's sad that he keeps fumbling every big opportunity he gets because of his drug problems.
When I was a kid Jeff Hardy was my favourite wrestler. He’s certainly had his low points, especially recently, but there’s just something about Jeff that few other wrestlers possess. He’s a true star and that star power has stuck with him from company to company, unlike a lot of the other talent that went from WWE to TNA back in the day. His WWE Championship win at Armageddon ‘08 is one of the best feel good moments in the history of wrestling.
Audibly laughed when I saw him try to set Sabu up for the poetry in motion after stealing it from him in the first place, and Sabu just kicking him instead. Alright TNA, I'll give you that one. That was great.
Jeff Hardy: Dude, I was watching TNA the other day, man. This dude... Jeff Hardy... he stole my Swanton finishing maneuver, man. I'm going back to Carolina... and see my stoner friend Shannon... and talk all about you, Hardy. Shannon: But Jeff... that's you. Jeff Hardy: Shheeeeettt 😅
I remember hating Jeff's first TNA theme so much I ended up liking it. Despite all the troubles in his personal life this dude has been one of the most original and unique wrestlers ever. He's definitely going down as a legend forever.
There was also Final Resolution 2005 when he took on Scott Hall with Roddy Piper as special referee but the spot was meant for Hector Garza due to how Scott Hall treated him. But Hector Garza failed to get his passports renewed or something, so he was stuck in Mexico.
Jeff Hardy might be the biggest star in wrestling who pissed away more chances than anyone due to his own demons. His run here was just sad as Jeff clearly seemed to be in a bad place.
I always wondered exactly when did jeff leave tna in 2005 I always did know it was over no shows But i remember him having a match woth shannon Moore aswell in very early 2006 but i cant remember if that was in tna or not Edit: well after watching that a lot of my questions are now answered In that case fun fact: jeff hardy had a match with his stoner friend shannon moore before jeffs way out and before shannon Moore's tv debut
Some people are complaining about CM Punk returning and getting another chance when they ignore the countless second chances that Jeff Hardy has gotten.
@@Babygirlly555 Respectfully disagree. Yes, one chooses to do it the first time, but the second, third and fourth time, that's a biological need after that. Choice is off the table after that.
@@Babygirlly555you have the option to say no sure. But drugs isn't some thing you can "just say no" to. Especially if you're addicted and have struggled with addiction.
I have Against All Odds 2005 on DVD (It's the only TNA DVD I own) and I personally enjoyed the first-ever Full Metal Mayhem Match between Jeff and Abyss. They must have replayed that Swanton like 8 times during and after the match. I always thought his temper tantrum afterwards was a shoot because he either didn't land correctly and just sorta grazed the tables or he legit hurt himself a little bit when coming down.
Wow, Against All Odds 2005 is also the only TNA DVD that I own too. It was my favorite TNA PPV, mainly because of that Full Metal Mayhem match (with my favorite Abyss winning) and that highly regarded 30-minute Iron man X-Division title match between AJ and Daniels. America's Most Wanted were my favorite tag team back then, so I was happier with the show due to them retaining their Tag title.
Everyone remembers his 2010s run... but hardly anyone recalls the fact that he went to TNA after his WWF experience fizzled out in 2003. And I think I know why.
I once remembered someone on either Reddit or a Wrestling Forum saying that Jeff Hardy is the Allen Iverson of Pro Wrestling. Lotsa potential, but wound up having what feels like a never-ending battle against his demons and some squandering. Even if I'm a big fan of the guy, that statement honestly feels pretty true.
"Duuude... I was watchin' TNA the other day... and I saw this dude, Jeff Hardy... wait... I am Jeff Hardy... I used my Swanton Bomb finishing maneuver... and I missed it! I'm goin' back to Carolina and I'm gonna tell my stoner friend Shannon all about... myself... I shouldn't have eaten that shroom, man..."
It’s honestly crazy TNA even hired him back a second time after what he did during his first run. I get he was the biggest guy in wrestling in 2008 and 2009 but still.
I was there the night of his roh match in 2003. You can tell something was up. Crowd hate him for it. He got booed out of the building. Jeff gets in the ring in willow outfit. Gets on one knee.
@@peterreine2917 been 20 years but I think that I was probably thinking was he high and didn’t care to be there. A lot of anger too probably. I was and still am Jeff Hardy fan. Remember it was early 2000s. Internet chatter about his release wasn’t as big as later on. Jeff still in prime of his career. Matches he could have had in company. Just goes out there stinks the place up.
Whats bad in TNA knew Jeff was a absolute trainwreck. Its even glaring on tv. It all never stopped them from betting the farm on him. At best he was a one off here and there for matches. Trying to mainline on the roster full-time a hardcore drug addict and alcoholic was insane.
Great video as always. I was a huge mark for Jeff hardy back then & I remember being so pissed that he didn't immediately became TNA Champ. Thanks to you, now I know why. 😂
I appreciate those videos, Marky is so honest and doesn't let the nostalgia blind you, I never saw jeff first run in tna, and I thought it was kinda good😊
Looking back at this. I think this was Jeff Hardy learning his lesson, or trying to teach TNA the lesson he learned. Think about it, he had just been released from WWE over his sobriety issues, that seemed to steem from WWE trying to make him the big star. Now he comes to TNA, and they want him to do the same things that lead to his issues in the first place. I think that is why he was so hesitant to do the big spots, because he knew it blew up in his face, metaphorically speaking, in WWE. To this day it still does.
Man, Jeff is my favorite wrestler of all time but it's clear that Vince is the one who trusted him in the first place due to his populairty and merch sales because we knew Vince is a great business man who is willing to take risks despite Jeff's drug problems. Wish we have Jeff in WWE now where Hunter is the one who's running it because he was the one who really didn't trust Jeff when he was on his way to capturing his first world title.
Jeff for whatever reason just can't seem to keep himself together. I still hope and pray for the best for him. The guy along with Matt Hardy and so many others made my childhood. I love these guys but constantly seeing Jeff screw up is... Sad. I honestly had no idea he a TNA run before he joined TNA in 2009? 2010? I can't remember the year. But as a kid seeing him there was so cool. His heel turn was especially entertaining and shocking.
JH's career has very high ups and very low downs, with little time with moments in between. after his last refusal to go to rehab, which lead to his latest (and hopefully last) WWE release, I lost a whole lot of respect for him, the dude is just hopeless, and I was almost willing to overlook all the crap from the past because of how good he was, but he simply doesn't have it in him to be clean and serene for long... so as far as I'm concerned, this run would do just fine, it's actually *TOO* good for someone like him
I wonder what the story was behind those two botched sunset flip powerbombs. The video makes it obvious that in both cases Jarrett simply refused to let go. Were these intentionally scripted "botches" (though still poorly executed), with Jarrett initially "fighting off" the powerbomb attempts? Or was Jarrett intentionally sabotaging Hardy? Did he simply not want to go through with the spots, and if so then why agree to them? Or were they perhaps not fully planned?
The sad thing about Jeff Hardy is that despite being given multiple second chances (certainly helps he has the look and wrestling talent to warrant giving said chances), he just never learns from his mistakes. Granted, I am fully aware of the plight of both Hardy Boys growing up, but their high flying style of wrestling only compounds to the brothers' legal issues, especially Jeff, who can never seem to lay off the drugs and booze. It matters not whether he wrestles in TNA, WWE, or AEW, you have Jeff Hardy on your roster, he will give you a legal headache, guaranteed. The irony is that Hardy's high flying style is also what contributes to his legal problems, cause with all those elevated bumps he took (and the pain that comes with it), it always makes him turn to the bottle or to get high off drugs (usually of the painkilling type), both of which are extremely addicting.
Oh, God, you kill me when you go off on Jeff, Hawk! I'm a Hardy fan, but you really crack me up with the "brick, but not the kind he likes" and "hanging out in a K-hole." When you're right, you're right...
I think the we want Matt Hardy chants was because matt was fired by WWE because of the whole edge lita affair that was going so people probably thought that Matt was going to join TNA but Matt got rehire so that didn't happen
Jeff's dancing is a great example of what that stuff does to the brain and how it makes one feel like they're on top of the world even tho pretty much all the time, isn't the case. Or at least not for long.
I still have the TNA Best Of Jeff Hardy from ‘06 in my old Wrestling DVD collection, and I’d be lying if I said he didn’t look like a mess around this time, but he was always a huge draw for them.
Wow this whole run hits different knowing Jeff was constantly tweaking on Meth...I never understood why he just kept disappearing when I was a kid, I thought it was just pain killers
To be quite honest, I never really liked Jeff Hardy's entire TNA/ impact wrestling run. Maybe towards the end with his brother when they were doing the obsolete mule angle and the final deletion. That was probably the best run for both of them. But overall his entire TNA impact wrestling run seemed like he was only there because the WWE wouldn't take him.
Its so weird seeing someone on drugs in a wrestling ring, like sure theres bad wrestlers doing bad wrestling, but when you see a good wrestler on drugs, it’s off putting.
For 7th Birthday my dad got me the TNA figure pack of Abyss and Jeff Hardy with a bonus cd featuring their TLC match. I loved that match but unfortunately those figures didn’t it make it through my childhood with me. Seeing their rarity now I really wish they had.
Hardy run in 05 is what put me first on to tna wrestling. (Happened when in middle school my classmate was telling me about his love for hardy/no mercy on 64 etc etc). I remember two years later when he came back to wwe i begged my mom at fye for the jeff hardy tna/hardy boyz dvd. I watched that tna dvd religiously cause i couldnt tune into impact on fsn. That swanton bomb he did at monsters ball was the best
The Hardy Boyz’ hometown is like 20 minutes away from the city I grew up in. I was a kid during their first WWE run when they blew up. Needless to say I was a massive Hardy Boyz fan. To this day they get the loudest pop out of anyone when they wrestle there. It’s crazy how Jeff has screwed up in every promotion he was signed to.
As someone who still lives and grew up literally like 5-10 minutes from (basically in) Cameron in the 90’s/early 2000’s Matt and Jeff were all our idols growing up around here and all everyone talked about, not a trampoline or swimming pool in the area where you won’t see someone dropping a swanton to this day, they just gave everyone around here hope that there was something better out there for people like us around here that grew up with nothing and nobody to look up to, lol and I love how everyone around here “knew” them or was related to them because they could be telling the truth or they could be full of shit and you’d never know because I do know people legit do know them and people that used to ride dirt bikes and four wheelers with and in the same places they did, because some of my cousins lived around the sandpits/sandhills (lol whatever you wanna call that area) so I rode in that area but never knew or met them personally because they were riding there before my time. But as someone who’s overcame a crippling addiction I just wish Jeff the best and wish he would get straight and get his life right because he doesn’t realize how much him and his brother mean to people around here and it sucks to see him struggling with addiction like a lot of other people around here and he could actually do a lot of good not only for himself but for people here if he could get his shit together and realize that he is wasting a good thing that most people around here can only dream about and it just sucks to watch one of my and a lot of other people around here’s only 2 hometown idols ruin his life and legacy for nothing but a cheap high
This Jeff Hardy run proved what I've always said "Matt is the better Hardy." Jeff might have the looks and higher risk moves, but Matt has the brains and skill. If Jeff didn't have his looks he wouldn't have gotten a million chances and instead he would be doing methhead fights for drugs.
Anytime Marky is on the marquee in my feed , Im watching ! But anyways I liked Jeff when he got there , it was a fresh start in a new company so it seemed and I was excited . But man his time there weebled and wobbled throughout his TNA run. Bad booking and bad decisions on his part took the magic away .
Imma need a documentary from Jeff himself. I wanna know what traumatic experiences the man faced that led him to all of this substance abuse and alcoholism.
I've got his first TNA dvd and its hilarious what matches they used to to fill it out with. I've got his third TNA dvd and it literally has four matches from his first run haha. I like the dude but i wish he'd sort himself out

Jeff is such an interesting guy. One thing is true for better or worse he’s always been himself. No matter who his boss is at the time.
The fact he no-showed twice in his first run, embarrassed the company with the Victory Road incident in his second run and got ANOTHER world title run a year later at Bound For Glory 2012 just shows the favoritism towards Ex-WWE guys over the homegrown talent at the time.
Guys like Sabin and Young didn't make for good World champions or main event players.
Makes sense there is favoritism though, 'ex-WWE superstar' has more weight in the eyes of casual fans than 'ex-TNA superstar'. All business at the end of the day.
A company thrives of making money, and Jeff brings in a lot of revenue, that's why.

The irony is that Hardy's high flying style is also what contributes to his legal problems, cause with all those elevated bumps he took (and the pain that comes with it), it always makes him turn to the bottle or to get high off drugs (usually of the painkilling type), both of which are extremely addicting.
Jeff Hardy’s dark past still doesn’t outshine his Highlights !!! Dude’s a Legend
Oh, God, you kill me when you go off on Jeff, Hawk! I'm a Hardy fan, but you really crack me up with the "brick, but not the kind he likes" and "hanging out in a K-hole." When you're right, you're right...
The "K Hole like an A Hole" comment had me creased 😂
I think the we want Matt Hardy chants was because matt was fired by WWE because of the whole edge lita affair that was going so people probably thought that Matt was going to join TNA but Matt got rehire so that didn't happen
No it was before that. Its because Matt was considered better by smarks at the time.
Jeff's dancing is a great example of what that stuff does to the brain and how it makes one feel like they're on top of the world even tho pretty much all the time, isn't the case. Or at least not for long.
I’ve always liked Jeff Hardy, but I was there at Victory Road 2011. I’ve not given him another chance.
If jeff had gotten himself together his first tna run would have been a lot better than what it was
2:07
A WILD SLAPNUTS APPEARS!
Makes me wonder. Did Wild Slapnuts and Jeff Hardy Stoner Friend have a wrestling match before 😆(Can be a good dream match)
it always kills me when he say wild slapnuts lmao
CM Punk calling Hardy the Charismatic Enabler is still one of my favorite things to happen in wrestling.
Looks like Jarrett didn't want to take that sunset flip because he held on for dear life or 2 miss communication
This run is what got me into TNA. I was such a huge Jeff Hardy fan since The New Brood.
I still have the TNA Best Of Jeff Hardy from ‘06 in my old Wrestling DVD collection, and I’d be lying if I said he didn’t look like a mess around this time, but he was always a huge draw for them.
Wow this whole run hits different knowing Jeff was constantly tweaking on Meth...I never understood why he just kept disappearing when I was a kid, I thought it was just pain killers
Lol what are you talking about. Meth isn’t mentioned once. Way to distort things
It wouldn't be a markyd123 video without a slapnuts reference
To be quite honest, I never really liked Jeff Hardy's entire TNA/ impact wrestling run. Maybe towards the end with his brother when they were doing the obsolete mule angle and the final deletion. That was probably the best run for both of them. But overall his entire TNA impact wrestling run seemed like he was only there because the WWE wouldn't take him.
Its so weird seeing someone on drugs in a wrestling ring, like sure theres bad wrestlers doing bad wrestling, but when you see a good wrestler on drugs, it’s off putting.
A wild slap nuts appear 😂
7:48 is legitimately one of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life.
Ive been craving a new TNA video 😎 i cant wait to watch it
The Man who looks like Elvis Scott Hall (R.i.p)
Remember kids “drugs are bad, mmm’kay”
Jeff Hardy 2nd Impact Wrestling run + title runs during that time period were best years not just in matches of him😶🌫️⚡
For 7th Birthday my dad got me the TNA figure pack of Abyss and Jeff Hardy with a bonus cd featuring their TLC match. I loved that match but unfortunately those figures didn’t it make it through my childhood with me. Seeing their rarity now I really wish they had.
Hardy run in 05 is what put me first on to tna wrestling. (Happened when in middle school my classmate was telling me about his love for hardy/no mercy on 64 etc etc). I remember two years later when he came back to wwe i begged my mom at fye for the jeff hardy tna/hardy boyz dvd. I watched that tna dvd religiously cause i couldnt tune into impact on fsn. That swanton bomb he did at monsters ball was the best
"& not the kind of brick that he'd like" 🤣
The Hardy Boyz’ hometown is like 20 minutes away from the city I grew up in. I was a kid during their first WWE run when they blew up. Needless to say I was a massive Hardy Boyz fan. To this day they get the loudest pop out of anyone when they wrestle there.
It’s crazy how Jeff has screwed up in every promotion he was signed to.
Jeff Hardy vs Scott Hall vs Jeff Jarrett in a Rehab Bill on a Pole match. Winner gets it paid for by Dixie Carter instead of Vince this time.
i feel like jeff could have had the same run he had in wwf in the late 90s early 2000s in TNA but he just wasn’t all there and ruined it
the bound for glory dive as a kid made me think jeff might not be a real human.
Monty Brown was ROBBED. He should have been TNA champ
Jeff Hardy is my favorite wrestler of all time, but he has definitely been given too many chances that I'm sure have not been to his own benefit.
8:16 a moldy slapnuts appears
7:20 according to X-Pac he was running late and actually showed up in time for the match, but management wouldn't let him wrestle.
As someone who still lives and grew up literally like 5-10 minutes from (basically in) Cameron in the 90’s/early 2000’s Matt and Jeff were all our idols growing up around here and all everyone talked about, not a trampoline or swimming pool in the area where you won’t see someone dropping a swanton to this day, they just gave everyone around here hope that there was something better out there for people like us around here that grew up with nothing and nobody to look up to, lol and I love how everyone around here “knew” them or was related to them because they could be telling the truth or they could be full of shit and you’d never know because I do know people legit do know them and people that used to ride dirt bikes and four wheelers with and in the same places they did, because some of my cousins lived around the sandpits/sandhills (lol whatever you wanna call that area) so I rode in that area but never knew or met them personally because they were riding there before my time. But as someone who’s overcame a crippling addiction I just wish Jeff the best and wish he would get straight and get his life right because he doesn’t realize how much him and his brother mean to people around here and it sucks to see him struggling with addiction like a lot of other people around here and he could actually do a lot of good not only for himself but for people here if he could get his shit together and realize that he is wasting a good thing that most people around here can only dream about and it just sucks to watch one of my and a lot of other people around here’s only 2 hometown idols ruin his life and legacy for nothing but a cheap high
This Jeff Hardy run proved what I've always said "Matt is the better Hardy." Jeff might have the looks and higher risk moves, but Matt has the brains and skill. If Jeff didn't have his looks he wouldn't have gotten a million chances and instead he would be doing methhead fights for drugs.
Matt Hardy sucks lol
Because he got high.. Because he go high.. Because he got hiiighh.
I worked a lot with the guy hardly worked in roh. Very nice guy.
Anytime Marky is on the marquee in my feed , Im watching ! But anyways I liked Jeff when he got there , it was a fresh start in a new company so it seemed and I was excited . But man his time there weebled and wobbled throughout his TNA run. Bad booking and bad decisions on his part took the magic away .
8:22 Sad that we never seen "Cab Driver Slam, Cab Driver Slam" in this one T_T
Your meat riding of this channel should be studied for years
“Slap him over the head wit a brick “ but not the one he would like lol 😂
He probably wasnt highlighted because he wasnt reliable!! I'm surprised WWE gave him another shot after this tbh
Raven vs. Sean Waltman was actually good. 7:00
Peak Raven vs Antichrist Jeff Hardy would be one of the most legendary and epic wrestling storylines/feuds ever aired🤔⚡
Imma need a documentary from Jeff himself. I wanna know what traumatic experiences the man faced that led him to all of this substance abuse and alcoholism.
Peer pressure from the locker room and the pain of going all those high spots
I've got his first TNA dvd and its hilarious what matches they used to to fill it out with. I've got his third TNA dvd and it literally has four matches from his first run haha.
I like the dude but i wish he'd sort himself out
The cartels force their victims to watch tna as a torture
