Today marks 33 full years that Jeff & I have been pro wrestlers. October 15th, 1992, was our first match in Carthage, NC. Here is our first promo pic, followed by our most recent pic, taken at BFG on Sunday. If you told young 1992 us we would experience all the success we have, we wouldn’t have believed it.

My brother & I are both so grateful. Grateful for our loyal & dieHARDY fanbase. Grateful for the opportunities we’ve earned & been given. Grateful to God we’re as healthy as we are after all the punishment we’ve put our bodies thru. Grateful we’ve been able to inspire multiple generations.

Thank you for letting these 2 kids from Cameron, NC live their childhood dreams & thrive in life. We are both SO blessed. With that said, it’s time to go to work in year number 34.

During their career, the Hardys have had runs in WWE, TNA, and AEW. Their WWE run from 1998 to 2005 helped define tag team wrestling in the Attitude Era and after. They count over 30 title reigns between the two of them in TNA and WWE. They are eight-time tag team champions on the WWE main roster and both the TNA World and NXT Tag Team Championships.
