Jeff Hardy
Jeffery Nero Hardy (born August 31, 1977 in Cameron, North Carolina) is a professional wrestler and musician. He and his older brother Matt Hardy made up one of the most popular tag teams in World Wrestling Entertainment at the turn of the 21st century, and Jeff was also successful as a singles wrestler.
Jeff's personal life was equally as eccentric as his in-ring persona; he had at one time built a 20-foot statue of an alien out of tin foil which he would jump over on his motorcycle.
