Jeff Hardy is one of the most popular professional wrestlers of his generation.
Hardy’s death-defying stunts will live in fans’ minds for the rest of their lives. He performed in WWE in three different stints between 1994 and 2021. He and his brother, Matt, became a beloved team and won several championships in their career. He was also WWE Champion and World Heavyweight Champion during one of his runs.

The heights of Hardy’s WWE career were derailed due to legal issues and his battles with addiction. However, the North Carolina high-flyer said in an interview with WFAA-TV that he believes he could have been bigger than John Cena.
“The way I lived life when I was in my 20s and 30s, if I was living life like I’m living it now, oh my gosh, there’s no way to know,” he told the station Tuesday. “I would probably be bigger than John Cena today. I was born with the gift of being a professional wrestler. It felt so natural, like I was totally created to do this.

“The good thing is that I’m still here, I’m alive, and I feel good. As Matt had mentioned, we’re big ice baths, and that’s been incredibly beneficial for me mentally and physically. I don’t put a number on it. I’ll just fight until I’m done.” I can’t do it anymore.”
The 47-year-old remains one of the biggest acts in the industry. Outside of WWE, he has performed for TNA Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and All Elite Wrestling.
