Jeff Hardy

**Jeffrey Nero Hardy** (born August 31, 1977) is an American professional wrestler, singer-songwriter, painter, and musician.

Hardy is best known for his work in the World Wrestling Entertainment. He also worked for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Ring of Honor (ROH) and several companies on the independent circuit. Before gaining prominence in the WWE, Jeff along with his real life brother Matt, ran and performed for the Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA).

The Hardy brothers worked as enhancement talents for the WWF from 1994, and were signed to full-time contracts in 1998. With the addition of Lita, the team became known as **Team Xtreme** and continued to rise in popularity. They gained notoriety in the tag team division, partly due to their participation in Tables, Ladders and Chairs matches. Alongside Matt, Jeff won eleven world tag team championships between WWE, TNA and ROH.

Hardy has had success as a singles wrestler, capturing his first of six world championships, the WWE Championship, in 2008 and going on to hold WWE's World Heavyweight Championship twice and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship three times. He has also won the Intercontinental Championship four times, the Hardcore Championship three times and the European Championship, Light Heavyweight Championship and United States Championship once each. He is the 18th Triple Crown Champion and 9th Grand Slam Champion in WWE history (one of five men to complete both WWE Grand Slam formats, and one of two to win all original Grand Slam titles).

Hardy is involved in motocross, music, painting and other artistic endeavors. He is currently a member of the band PeroxWhy?Gen, with whom he has released two studio albums and one extended play.
