Official WWE Bio:
Simply put, Jeff Hardy is an
artist. His world revolves around writing “Emoetry,” recording music
(“alternative, alternative music,” according to his brother Matt), and
employing tinfoil and paint to craft intimate, personal, and sometimes bizarre
works of art. His house is decorated with toys, artificial plants and life-size
Japanese fiberglass sculptures. One of his most cherished creations—a
thirty-foot “Aluminummy” statue called Neroamee, from Nero, his middle
name—stands tall outside his studio.
Still, this artist has
always been drawn to another, very different canvas—that of the squared
circle. Growing up with Matt in the pinewoods of Cameron, North Carolina,
11-year-old Jeff—influenced by the likes of Ric Flair, the Fabulous Freebirds,
and the Rockers—took a ramp he built for his bike and painted it to resemble
an entrance stage for his “wrestling ring,” the backyard trampoline. As
he grew older, so did his desire to take greater risks, whether it was to feel
the rush of executing hundred-foot-high triples on his motorcross bike, or
jumping off the roof of his house as a member of the brothers’ “Teenage
Wrestling Federation.” It was such fearlessness and desire that would bring
the 16-year-old daredevil to World Wrestling Entertainment, and after several
years catapult him to worldwide fame and main-event status, first as one-half of
WWE’s high-flying “Team Extreme,” The Hardys, then in singles competition.
Though many of his paintings
are abstract, this free spirit is a Rembrandt inside the ring, signing his name
not with the traditional paintbrush or pen, but with wildly unorthodox,
high-impact maneuvers off top ropes and 20-foot ladders. His credo is simple: to
create, then surpass his creation.
Unfortunately, most true
artists must sink to their lowest point before attaining their greatest heights.
For Jeff, the wear-and-tear of living life on the road would help prompt him to
leave WWE in 2003. But after a three-year personal journey of refocusing his
passion and energies, he now finds himself “in a positive place…and that’s
what motivates me.” Since returning to WWE in August 2006, this reinspired
risk-taker has gone back to creating the art he loves
most—entertaining WWE fans in arenas around the world. And his most extreme
masterpiece awaits.
