'''[[Matt Hardy|Matthew Moore Hardy]]''' is a [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestler]] best known for his time in [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]], where he began as part of the Hardy Boyz tag team with his [[Real Life]] brother [[Jeff Hardy|Jeff]]. He also joined Jeff in [[TNA]] for the better part of 2011. He has won multiple championships both on his own and with his brother, including the revived ECW World Heavyweight Championship.
 
After spending several years as a jobber in the WWF, taking part in matches against [[Triple H|Hunter Hearst Helmsley]] and [[Stone Cold Steve Austin|The Ringmaster]], Matt finally rose to prominence after forming a tag team with Jeff, known as the Hardy Boyz. They had a variety of managers in their early years, including Michael Hayes, Terri Runnels, and Gangrel (during which they were known as The New Brood and started their long-standing feud with [[Edge]] and [[Christian]]. They gained most success when managed by Matt's real life girlfriend [[Lita]], known as Team Xtreme.
 
Although both were known for a high-flying style of wrestling, Matt was always known as the more calculated and restrained of the two, known more for his "Twist of Fate" finisher than for his dives.
 
Over the years, Matt and Jeff would split, feud against each other, or feud against other people.

{{creatortropes}}
=== '''Tropes associated with Matt Hardy:''' ===
 
* [[Alter Ego Acting]]: "[[Matt Hardy]] Brand" and "THE MATTHEW BRAND"
* [[Arch Enemy]]: Edge, for many reasons, both [[Kayfabe]] and [[Real Life]].
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
*** ...until Matt got put on suspension for chronic lateness and then fired after a DWI.
* [[Cain and Abel]]: With Jeff when feuding against each other.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: He has two [[YouTube]] channels, one for "[[Matt Hardy]]", in which he acts weird, but is a typical vlog-style channel, and one for "MATTHEW" ([[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|"ALL CAPS!"]]) where he speaks vague pseudo-philosophy, burns money, shows off his weapon collection, drinks beer, and eats grapes. Lots of grapes.
* [[Epic Fail]]: His promo upon returning to the WWE after the business with Edge and Lita. He had sympathy of the crowd, huge momentum and seemed to be in line for a major push, only to kill it dead within ten minutes. Wishing Edge would die in a car crash killed off a lot of the support he had and basically screwed any chance he had of reaching the main event in the WWE.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Well, he is a Hardy...
* [[Finishing Move]]: Twist of Fate/Hate in [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] / [[TNA]], Ice Pick in [[TNA]].
* [[Heel]]: Arguably far more effective as one than Jeff.
* [[Incoming Ham]]: As Version 1 - It started with a web search for Matt Hardy, which then "loaded" the titantron before Matt made his way to the ring, with the screen formated to resemble the then-current look of Windows Media Player, whilst "Matt Facts" appeared on the left of the screen (Usually, these were useless bits of trivia).
* [[Large Ham]]: As Matt Hardy Version 1.
* [[Woman Scorned|Man Scorned]]: Infamously during 2005.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Matt is the Blue Oni to Jeff's Red.
* [[Red Baron]]: "Cold Blooded"
* [[Role -Ending Misdemeanor]]: After his DWI arrest in August 2011, Hardy was released from TNA.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Grapes.
* [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules|Screw the Money, I have Grapes]]: In one MATTHEW video, he claims the million dollars or so he has earned in the past decade is worthless, save to buy grapes.
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Claimed on Twitter that it was because of him that TNA saw an increase in their ratings following his debut in the company. Apparently, he thinks he's a bigger draw than [[Kurt Angle]], who returned at the same time Matt made his debut.
* [[Worked Shoot]] / [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: The whole Lita/Edge affair. Long story short, Lita and Edge were having an affair and Matt was fired after talking about it. Eventually he was re-hired, and the whole scandal was made into a storyline, albeit they made it look like a shoot.
** The "MATTHEW" videos were a work to get himself fired from WWE, as he had wanted a release for a while, but some people took them seriously including [[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|Spoony]].
