35 Current WWE Stars And Their '90s Counterparts
33. Jeff Hardy/Finn Balor
A hugely popular, good looking, charismatic babyface who can fly around the ring, is being groomed for superstardom and who has a tendency to cover himself in paint?
This is a line that could be thrown at both NXT’s Finn Balor and the Charismatic Enigma himself, Jeff Hardy.
Hardy is still an active performer over in TNA (for however little time that promotion seemingly has left in business), but it was the late ‘90s that saw The Hardy Boyz start to become more than just fodder to the stars.
Even in the infancy of Matt and Jeff as a recognised, main roster tag team, everybody could see that Jeff was the one who was destined for greater things. His charisma and care-free daredevil ways put him over huge with near-enough every demographic: men of all ages would pop for his death-defying array of moves, whilst women would swoon over his looks and charm, and younger viewers were rushing to get the latest Hardy Boyz merch.
Jeff had the oft-referenced “It Factor”, and much like the body-painted WWE high flyer of yesteryear, Finn Balor has that exact same appeal.
